Description

The Northern Dalmatian coast, characterized by rugged limestone mountains, pristine clear waters, unpopulated islands, historic towns and gorgeous climate, is an ideal destination for holidaymakers who prefer visiting places which are still not overrun by tourists. Discovering it from the sea, by sailing between the islands scattered like pearls across the vast blue expanse of the Adriatic, or hiking its lonely trails and exploring some of Croatia’s most impressive national parks, is an experience everyone should try at least once in their life.

Our leisurely and educational cruise tour takes you from the gorgeous medieval town of Šibenik across the charming little town of Skradin and the nearby waterfalls of Krka National Park, and onwards to the islands of Zlarin and Prvić Šepurine. Continuing to sail westwards, you will reach Zadar in which Habsburgian charm and antique relics are framed in Venetian architecture, and visit the nearby Nin. Next on the agenda are two wonders of nature – the mesmerizing canyon of the river Zrmanja and the densest island cluster in the Mediterranean – the National Park of Kornati Islands. Saving the best for last, by the end of the tour we will take you to the town of Trogir, an architectural gem abounding with Romanesque, Renaissance and Baroque architecture and art.

Use the opportunity to explore various aspects of Northern Dalmatia’s rich natural and historical heritage by treating yourself to a journey which encompasses all the major highlights of this scenic region, complemented with the delights of the local cuisine offered on board the yacht.
