As you make your way up the winding Krka river to Skradin be sure to stop at local mussels farms to pick up some fresh produce!.

In the evening explore Skradin town and try the traditional Croatian delicacy “peka”; a combination of meat or fish and potatoes slow cooked for 2-4 hours. Konoba Toni in the old town is well known for fantastic peka. Skradin’s position as both a Dalmatian town and a river-side town brings some delicious meals, and excellent wine sorts. You can venture a short trip inland to have a taste in the local winery, or use the whole day to explore the Krka National Park.

Mooring

The ACI marina in Skradin uses Med-style mooring lines. We recommend reserving moorings in advance in the high season and to call on VHF 17 while approaching.

Vinogradišće bay, St. Clement

While Hvar Town, often called the “St. Tropez of Croatia,” is a must-visit destination, accessing it by yacht during the high season can be a challenge due to its busy harbor and fully booked mooring buoys. Instead, Vinogradišće Bay on the southern side of St. Clement Island offers a convenient and stunning alternative. Located in the Pakleni Archipelago, just across the channel from Hvar Town, this bay is one of the “it” spots for visitors looking to explore the area. With its small sandy beach, luxurious restaurants like Toto’s, Meneghello, and Laganini Beach Club, and vibrant evening atmosphere, it guarantees unforgettable memories. Advanced reservations for mooring buoys are strongly recommended as free anchoring is not permitted.

Mooring

Vinogradišće Bay is equipped with mooring buoys, primarily managed by Toto’s restaurant. These are bookable online and require payment for both day and night stays. Free anchoring is not allowed, ensuring the bay’s pristine condition. Alternatively, ACI Marina Palmižana on the island’s north side offers additional berthing options, with more mooring buoys available on the west side of the Pakleni Archipelago. Some restaurant-owned buoys in the area are complimentary if you dine with them.

Things to do

Relax and explore the picturesque bay by kayak or stand-up paddleboard, though high-season crowds and boats should be navigated with care. Ashore, discover charming footpaths winding through lush tropical vegetation, leading to Meneghello’s art exhibition or private vineyards en route to the quaint village of St. Clement. For a livelier experience, visit Laganini Beach Club or take a water taxi to Marinkovac Island, home to popular beach bars like Hula Hula. Hvar Town is just a short ride away and offers lively nightlife, excellent restaurants, and historic sites like its fortress, which provides a glimpse into the town’s storied past. However, you won’t be able to use your own dinghy to travel between locations.

Facilities

Vinogradišće Bay offers mooring buoys, several high-end restaurants, bars, and water taxis for easy transport. A short walk to ACI Marina Palmižana provides access to additional amenities, including an ATM and a small shop.

Hvar town, Hvar

Hvar Town, located on the island boasting the most sunshine in Croatia, is a destination that effortlessly blends history, culture, and vibrant energy. Sightseeing highlights include St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the 17th-century Hvar Theatre, and the beautifully preserved Renaissance walls and buildings. Be sure to visit Fortica (Španjola), the historic fortress perched above the town, offering stunning views and a glimpse into its storied past. Renowned for its lively nightlife, Hvar Town attracts young visitors each summer with its wide selection of nightclubs. Mornings are often spent leisurely, with late coffee breaks in the afternoon setting the stage for another exciting evening.

Mooring

During the high season, securing a spot at the town quay or mooring buoys in Hvar Town can be challenging, so it’s best to arrive early, around 9 AM. For overnight stays, excellent alternatives include the nearby marina across the channel or the many scenic bays surrounding Hvar, offering quieter and more accessible options.

Things to do

Sightseeing the cobbled streets is very rewarding, but Hvar island itself is also a feast for the senses. Hvar island carries the title “lavender island”, so visiting the fields with a bicycle will end up to be a very scented adventure. The nearby town of Sveta Nedelja is the place where Mr. Plenković is producing wines and has them ripening under the sea. That is also the place where he is taking his guests to taste the wines, making a visit to a remote village a very educational trip.

Facilities

The town today has adapted its harbour to serve as a town quay for over 100 yachts. Close by are UNESCO-protected fields, the archeological museum and Petar Hektorović’s house with a fish pond – all worth a visit. The restaurants and food are very high standard, while discovering the inside of the island full of lavender fields is possible with scooters, cars, or bicycles from this town that celebrated 2400 years from its foundation in 2016.

Mooring

The town quay is the second-largest in Croatia, and has a couple of mooring buoys also under its concession.

Things to do

Stari Grad, meaning “old town” , has plenty to offer: from museums and historical houses, to UNESCO field excursions, shopping, hiking, cycling or agro-tourism. The fun thing to do is also to just go to a small wine-shop, pour a glass and enjoy the life happening around your boat while thinking about the best place to dine in that evening.

As almost everywhere in Croatia, there is also an option to head into town; reaching Milna town on the other side of the hill will take about half an hour. If you are hungry for local cuisine, there are two restaurants in Lučice bay.

Mooring

The mooring buoys are available for a fee, regardless of whether you dine at the associated restaurant. Anchoring is an option in the adjacent bay, though it offers less protection from the elements.

Things to do

Although the bay can get busy during the summer, its charm lies in its simplicity, with mooring options and two inviting restaurants. Relax on board with your crew, soak up the sun, enjoy a refreshing swim, or explore the waters by kayak. For those seeking a bit of adventure, take a scenic walk to nearby Milna town; just make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water for the journey.

Facilities

The bay offers payable mooring buoys for secure docking and two restaurants where you can enjoy local cuisine.

Agana

Marina Agana serves as the heart of the quaint and tranquil town of Marina. Despite occasional confusion caused by the town’s name, its straightforward layout is easy to navigate. The picturesque waterfront is lined with simple seaside restaurants and cozy local bars, creating a laid-back atmosphere. The marina itself occupies the northern side of the bay, offering a peaceful setting. Every few weeks, the town hosts lively festivities, bringing a charming buzz to the otherwise serene environment, especially on weekends.

Mooring

Marina Agana is the only marina in the area, offering Med-style mooring with lazy lines, a standard across Croatia. Free anchoring is permitted in the bay when arriving or departing. For any assistance, contact the marina staff via VHF Channel 08.

Things to do

While your boat is being prepared, take the opportunity to relax on one of the two nearby beaches or enjoy a meal at one of the local restaurants. For a day trip, visit the nearby towns of Trogir or Split. Split offers renowned attractions like Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as Game of Thrones filming locations and vibrant old-town streets filled with restaurants and bars.

Šešula bay, Šolta

Šešula bay is the perfect distance from Agana base for your first day of sailing, with a manageable 12 miles. The bay is surrounded with lush vegetation, making spending the night here a peaceful one. The two restaurants in the bay will introduce you to delicious Croatian tastes. On the other side of the hill you will find Maslinica town, filled with charming clay-clad rooftops. You can also venture to Kaštelanac winery only a 20-minute ride away – and find out where the famous Zinfandel draws its roots.

Mooring

Šešula bay has two restaurants: Šišmiš and Šešula. Both offer free of charge mooring buoys to guests if you dine with them. Anchoring is still possible, if you enter deep into the bay. Beware that it can get really busy in high season so it is better to have a reservation with the restaurant.

Things to do

For things to do in Šešula bay, going ashore to Maslinica town is a pleasant way to spend a late afternoon or early evening. Getting in touch with a local winery – Kaštelanac, and arranging a pick-up from Šešula will get you a glimpse into wine history of the region, discovering the ancestry of the famous Zinfandel wine and looking into traditional vineyards of the island. Or, just relaxing on board in the quiet bay and swimming in its turquoise waters is one of the many joys of being on the boat.

Facilities

Facilities in Šešula bay include mooring buoys, and a dinghy dock is available.

Komiža town, Vis

Vis island was closed off to the public until the 1990s, so discovering it now is a privilege and a trip into history. Komiža town was primarily a fishermen’s village, surrounded with lush forests of pine, olive groves and vast vineyards. The town is lively and picturesque, with a stunning backdrop of Hum hill, surrounded with numerous lonely beaches. Komiža has excellent restaurants, and is well-known for its diving opportunities. Hidden beneath the surface are a couple of sunken ships and airplanes, together with a diverse marine-life. Renting a scooter or taking an island tour from Komiža is definitely worth the time. You will be rewarded with amazing sights and interesting facts. This little town is also the best starting point to venture an expedition to the Blue Cave, found on the little island Biševo. The light bends perfectly between 11am and 1pm to illuminate the cave bright blue.

Mooring

The town quay in the town is quite small and busy. If you can last the night without electricity and water on the dock, taking a mooring buoy is an excellent alternative. In high season the large mooring buoy field gets filled up quickly, so make sure to arrive before 4pm. Anchoring, although not specifically forbidden, is not recommended due to open waters around the island.

Things to do

Komiža has plenty of options for things to do: discovering hidden lonely beaches, tasting lobsters or other delicious seafood in restaurants, taking scooters for a ride, or and soaking in the sights of the Vis’s heartland. Be adventurous and go for a dive, or head to the Blue Cave in the morning. If you are heading to the Blue Cave alone, make sure to get a mooring buoy on the eastern side of Biševo island, and wait for an official dinghy to take you inside, as doing so alone would result in a fine.

Facilities

Facilities here include electricity, water, toilets and showers at the dockage, plus mooring buoys, provisioning, restaurants, bars and an ATM.

Vis town, Vis

The furthest inhabited island from mainland Croatia, Vis is an old military island with a rich history and was only opened to the general public in 1989. There are many military structures still standing on the island, and military tours run from Vis town and Komiža. Today, Vis is well known for its wine production, with traditions dating back to ancient  times, make sure to visit one of the local vineyards for a tasting. The large town quay gets very busy in the high season so arrive early for a space. There are also mooring buoys and plenty of space to anchor, however there is a fee. You can also try Kut village on the east side of the bay.

Mooring

The Vis town quay is the busiest in Croatia in the high season. The one on the western side of the bay belongs to Vis town itself, but there is another on the eastern side, and it belongs to Kut village. The two are connected with a small promenade. There are also 4 large mooring buoy fields, which are payable. Anchoring is possible, but not recommended due to ferry swells.

Things to do

Arriving in Vis town early leaves you with plenty of time in the day to do some exploring. Head inland with a scooter or bicycle for some amazing sights and discover local, family-owned wineries and restaurants that serve delicious “peka” dishes. “Peka” means old iron bell, and it is a way to prepare food traditionally: lamb, veal or octopus are put in a dish and covered with the bell, which is then dug into coal, to slow-cook the food for a couple of hours. This delicious meal can also be a part of the island tour, as well as wine tasting. The best-known winery is just a 10 minute walk out to the outskirts of the town: Lipanović, which preserves their wines inside of an old bunker. Finish the night with a party in Fort George club – named after the English king, today Fort George offers some of the best nightlife around. 

Facilities

Dockage facilities include electricity, water, toilets and showers. Other facilities include mooring buoys, provisioning, restaurants, bars, and an ATM.

Vinogradišće bay, St. Clement

Everybody arriving in Croatia wants to visit Hvar town on the same-named island. And rightfully so, as it is known as the “St. Tropez” of Croatia. However, getting to the town with a yacht is no easy feat in the high season – the harbor and mooring buoys are always busy. That is why we recommend Vinogradišće bay, which can be found on the south side of St. Clement island, the biggest one of Pakleni archipelago that is just across the channel of Hvar town. Both Vinogradišće bay and its neighbour on the north side of the island – Palmižana marina, are known as “the” places to visit, and main points to be if you’d like to discover Hvar town itself. It is recommended that you get a reservation for a mooring buoy before heading to the bay, as no free anchoring is allowed. The bay has a small sandy beach and is filled with high-end restaurants, like Toto’s, Meneghello, and “Laganini” beach club, bringing in the crowds, guaranteeing a lively evening full of memories.

Mooring

Vinogradišće bay is filled with mooring buoys. Although they belong to Toto’s restaurant, they are only bookable through their internet page, and payable for reservations, day and night stays. Free anchoring isn’t allowed. On the north side of the island is the ACI marina Palmižana, and there are more payable buoys on the west side of the archipelago. Other mooring buoys that you can see throughout the Pakleni island belong to various restaurants and are free if you dine there.

Things to do

Just chilling and exploring the bay with a kayak or SUP is wonderful here, but beware of many boats in high season. Getting on the island will open many footpaths between tropical plants, one of them leading to Meneghello’s and their always-open art exhibition, or through private vineyards to the tiny village of St. Clement. For those who came to party, head to “Laganini” bar, or into a water taxi and to Marinkovac island for beach bars like “Hula Hula”. Hvar town will definitely not disappoint with its clubs, restaurants and bars, while visiting the fortress above the town during the day fills the mind with images of the past, especially the open dungeon. Remember that you will not be able to take your own dinghy between all of these locations.

Facilities

Mooring buoys, restaurants, bars and water taxis are to be found in Vinogradišće bay, while a short walk to ACI marina Palmižana will get you access to an ATM and a small shop.

The food in Jelsa is some of the best in the Adriatic; choose from many excellent restaurants and sample local Hvar wines in Tomić winery.

Mooring

Like any town along the Croatian coast, anchoring in the bay isn’t allowed. There are also no mooring buoys or marina to be found in Jelsa town, but there is a well-organised town quay in the center of the town, spread on both sides of this alluring bay.

Things to do

The town is pretty lively in the high season, with street performances and numerous bars and restaurants. For those who are a bit more active- a brisk walk can take you to an amiable ancient chapel at the top of the hill, or you can rent bicycles and explore why Hvar island is said to have the best cycling trails around. Enjoy a ride through lavender fields, or to the next town. Hvar island also has plenty of vineyards, many of them belonging to winery Tomić. The winery, with its ancient cellar, is a shame to be missed to any wine-enthusiast, where professional staff is delighted to share their insight to different local wine sorts, whether you are dressed in a toga or not.

Hvar Town

In 1579, the citadel of Hvar Town—an imposing Venetian fortress built to protect the island’s main port—was bustling with activity. A massive explosion in a powder magazine had destroyed several parts of the structure, and repairs were already well underway. Like many such strongholds, the fortress of Hvar Town was rebuilt multiple times after that fateful year marked by the blast. Today, it remains one of the most impressive historical landmarks on the island of Hvar. Perched atop a hill overlooking the picturesque harbor, it offers breathtaking views from its ramparts.

You can moor for free at Konoba Kod Marka if you decide to eat there.

Things to do

The best thing to do in Šipanska Luka is simple: enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Take a dip in the azure waters, sunbathe, go for gentle walks, or even bring a picnic to enjoy with your friends, family or partner. There are often few stands selling local goods, so this could be a good opportunity to buy souvenirs like lace, olive oil and jewellery. If you’re prepared for a big hike then you can also visit Sv.

This is the perfect time to finish anything you didn’t manage to do on your first day in Dubrovnik, whether that’s exploring the filming locations seen in Game of Thrones,  walking the city walls, or trying signature dishes like black risotto. If you don’t have any plans for your final night with us, we recommend visiting the Old Town and having dinner in the Old harbour in one of the best places in Dubrovnik: Arsenal restaurant.
