The Dalmatian Explorer
Dubrovnik • Korčula • Hvar • Vela Luka • Lastovo • Mljet
This comprehensive route takes you further north to experience the vibrant energy of Hvar and the deep traditions of Vela Luka, before returning through the remote wilderness of Lastovo and Mljet. It creates a perfect contrast between cosmopolitan island life and absolute natural serenity.
Dubrovnik (Srebreno) to Elaphiti Islands
Embarkation is at 17:00 in Srebreno. We set sail immediately for the Elaphiti Islands, dropping anchor for your first night at sea under the stars.
- Welcome drink and captain's briefing
- Evening swim in a quiet bay
- Dinner on board at anchor
The Elaphiti islands are known for their sandy seabeds—perfect for a night swim with the yacht's underwater lights turned on.
Elaphiti Islands to Korčula
We cruise north to the island of Korčula. We dock in the marina, giving you direct access to the famous fortified Old Town.
- Walking the fish-bone shaped streets
- Sunset cocktails at a tower bar
- Dinner in the vibrant old town
Since we are in the marina, take the opportunity to dress up and enjoy a fine dining experience at 'Lešić Dimitri', a Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of town.
Korčula to Hvar
We continue to Hvar, the sunniest island in the Adriatic. We spend the night at anchor, offering privacy away from the bustling main harbor while keeping the town accessible.
- Water taxi to Hvar town for nightlife
- Swimming in the Pakleni archipelago
- Hiking to the Spanish Fortress (Fortica)
Hvar is famous for its lavender. Buy some authentic essential oil from the stands in the main square as a fragrant souvenir.
Hvar to Vela Luka (Korčula)
We loop back to the western side of Korčula island, docking in the town of Vela Luka. This deep bay is a safe harbor known for its music and olive oil.
- Visit to the Vela Spila (Great Cave) archaeological site
- Olive oil tasting at a local press
- Dinner in a traditional konoba
Vela Luka has some of the best olive oil in the region. Look for the 'Zlatna Šoltanka' or local blends protected by geographic origin.
Vela Luka to Lastovo
We sail to the remote island of Lastovo. We moor at a restaurant pier (e.g., Porto Rosso), combining secure docking with immediate access to fresh seafood.
- Dinner right on the pier next to the yacht
- Exploring the old town of Lastovo inland
- Stargazing from the flybridge
The 'Lobster alla Lastovo' is a signature dish here. Ordering it at the restaurant where we dock is a must.
Lastovo to Mljet National Park
We cruise east to the green island of Mljet. We anchor near the National Park to enjoy the saltwater lakes and the monastery.
- Swimming in the warm saltwater lakes
- Boat ride to St. Mary's Islet
- Walking or cycling the shaded park trails
Take a walk to the 'Bridge of Soline' where the lakes meet the sea. The current there is fun to drift in.
Mljet to Srebreno (via Elaphiti)
On our final full day, we stop at the Elaphiti islands for a long lunch and swim break before returning to Srebreno marina for the night.
- Long lunch stop at anchor
- Final swim in the Adriatic
