Where to set sail from Split?
- Brač: Your voyage through the Dalmatian islands begins in Brač, the island closest to Split. Start your discovery of the island from above by heading to Vidova Gora, the highest point of Brač. You will have a breathtaking view of Brač, Hvar in the distance and, above all, Zlatni Rat, a magnificent beach and a must-see on the island. This beach is known for its V-shape, the point of which extends into the sea. Exploring the south coast on foot or by renting a bike on site is also worth the detour! This part of the island is particularly remarkable. In fact, it stands out thanks to its numerous reliefs and wild coves that you will find throughout your walk between Murvica and Blaca.
- Solta: Close to Split and Trogir, Solta should be one of your stopovers when sailing in Dalmatia. The architecture is typically Dalmatian: stone houses and roads. The bay of Sesula in the west of the island is home to a small fishing village, Maslinica, which is one of the most beautiful marinas in Croatia. To the north of Solta lies the island's most indented bay: Necujam. Emperor Diocletian had a pond in Piškera, one of Necujam's coves, as evidenced by the underwater wall that you will easily identify when diving.
- Hvar: Hvar is certainly the most touristy of the Dalmatian islands, but it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and interesting. Full of heavenly beaches and coves, Hvar is also home to a rich cultural heritage and picturesque villages. This island will appeal to all types of travelers!
- Vis: Vis is one of the islands furthest from the Croatian coast. A former Yugoslav military base and untouched by tourism until the 1990s, this island has managed to retain its wild side, which is far from displeasing to holidaymakers! It is divided into two main villages: Vis and Komiza.

Our advice for a successful yacht charter in Split:
- Be aware of local regulations: Before embarking on your sailboat charter, make sure you are familiar with the regulations in force in the region in terms of navigation zones, anchorages or protected areas.
- Documents and formalities: If you are the skipper of the boat, make sure you have a boat license to present. In addition, we strongly advise you to take out damage waiver insurance even if you have a skipper: in the event of damage to the boat, you are directly responsible, and damage waiver protects you from any involuntary damage.
