Croatia is one of the Mediterranean's most attractive destinations for a sailing holiday. Its rugged coastline, crystal-clear waters, historic towns and diverse islands make the Adriatic an ideal setting for a private cruise. In 2027, a gulet route from Split or Dubrovnik will offer the opportunity to discover some of the most spectacular destinations along the Dalmatian coast, combining sailing, gastronomy, culture and relaxation.
Chartering a gulet with a captain and crew gives you the freedom to explore different destinations without changing accommodation, enjoying each stop at a relaxed pace and tailoring the itinerary to your group's preferences.
Split is one of the main departure ports for a gulet route in Croatia. Its location provides access to several of the Adriatic's best-known islands, offering plenty of options for a week-long itinerary.
From Split, a cruise can combine visits to historic towns, swimming in crystal-clear coves and overnight stays at anchor in sheltered bays.
One appealing option is to begin your journey in Split and sail towards Brač, an island known for its coastal scenery, traditional villages and beaches. From there, the route can continue to Hvar, one of Croatia's most popular destinations.
Hvar combines a lively harbour, historic streets, restaurants and small coves where you can enjoy the sea. It is an ideal stop for travellers looking to alternate sailing days with local cuisine and walks through Mediterranean towns.
If the itinerary and sailing conditions allow, a gulet route from Split can continue to Vis, an island with a more peaceful atmosphere, known for its clear waters and natural hideaways.
Another must-see destination is Korčula, famous for its historic old town, stone streets and maritime heritage. Exploring the old town and enjoying local cuisine is a wonderful way to round off a day at sea.
A route from Split can combine these islands according to the charter duration, the gulet's location and the passengers' preferences.
Dubrovnik is another outstanding departure point for a private cruise in Croatia. Its walled Old Town, historic streets and Adriatic views make it a perfect place to begin a sailing holiday.
A gulet route from Dubrovnik allows you to explore some of southern Dalmatia's most attractive islands, with itineraries combining natural scenery, small coastal villages and anchoring in clear waters.
The Elaphiti Islands, located off the coast of Dubrovnik, are an excellent choice for the beginning of your cruise. Their small villages, coves and Mediterranean landscapes invite you to enjoy a relaxed first day aboard your gulet.
Their proximity to Dubrovnik makes it easier to adapt the route to the length of your trip and sea conditions.
Mljet is one of the most interesting natural destinations in this part of Croatia. Its national park, forests and saltwater lakes provide a beautiful contrast to the historic towns of the Dalmatian coast.
The island of Korčula can also be included in an itinerary from Dubrovnik. Its historic heritage, restaurants and Mediterranean atmosphere make it an ideal stop for travellers seeking a combination of nature and culture.
Depending on the time available, distances and weather conditions, you can design a route that includes several of these islands and allows you to enjoy the Adriatic at a leisurely pace.

These itineraries are examples rather than guaranteed schedules. Distances, sailing times, weather, port availability and the gulet's location may require changes. You should also confirm whether embarkation and disembarkation take place at the same port or at different ports.
The sailing season in Croatia generally runs from spring to early autumn, with particularly high demand in July and August.
June and September can be good alternatives for travellers looking to enjoy the Adriatic in a somewhat quieter atmosphere, although availability and weather conditions vary from year to year.
If you are planning to travel during peak season, it is advisable to start looking for gulets well in advance. Booking early gives you more time to compare vessels, capacities, equipment and services, as well as consider which itinerary best suits your group.
Before confirming your charter, check which expenses are included in the quote, such as crew, fuel, meals and port fees.
Whether you choose a gulet route from Split or prefer to start in Dubrovnik, the Dalmatian Islands offer an exceptional combination of scenery, culture and sailing.
A private gulet allows you to visit several destinations during the same holiday, discover secluded coves away from the busiest spots and plan your trip around your preferences.
