Overview

Come sail with us to where our Mediterranean story began. Discover why Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast— with its crystal-clear waters, hidden coves, and timeless stone towns—remains one of the world’s most captivating sailing destinations. We’ve been running this beloved itinerary since 2009 and still aren’t tired of it, exploring favorites like Hvar, Vis, and the UNESCO-listed beauty of Trogir. If you’re looking for relaxed island-hopping, authentic Dalmatian cuisine, and a welcoming community of sailors, this flotilla is your perfect invitation to fall in love with sailing the Med.

The Central Dalmatian Islands Flotilla is a 7-day island hopping sailing adventure through the heart of Croatia’s breathtaking Adriatic coastline, where turquoise waters, medieval towns, and picturesque island harbors create the perfect cruising ground. Beginning in the UNESCO-listed town of Trogir, this carefully prepared itinerary—one we’ve proudly sailed since 2009—explores some of Dalmatia’s most iconic destinations, including Vis and Hvar. Croatia is where our Mediterranean journey began, and this route continues to capture our hearts year after year.

Participants sail aboard a mix of well-equipped catamarans and monohulls, allowing crews to choose the sailing style that suits them best. Catamarans offer spacious living areas and stability, while monohulls provide a more traditional sailing feel. Each couple or single guest enjoys a private cabin, creating a comfortable balance of community and personal space throughout the week.

Included in the flotilla is seven nights aboard your yacht, full flotilla leadership and coordination, route planning, daily briefings, and organized group activities ashore. Basic onboard provisions for breakfasts and light lunches, docking fees, mooring fees, and end-of-charter refueling costs are shared equally among participants on each individual boat, making expenses transparent and straightforward.

Not included are airfare and transportation to/from Croatia, travel insurance, dinners ashore, excursions, and personal expenses. This structure gives guests the flexibility to explore Dalmatia’s exceptional restaurants and experiences while enjoying the camaraderie, support, and seamless organization of a professionally led flotilla.

Joe & Anna, Canada

We just finished an incredible week sailing through Croatia and Montenegro! It was an absolutely wonderful experience, filled with amazing destinations, great laughs, and unforgettable moments. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the adventure. I highly recommend this sailing experience to anyone looking to create lifelong memories on the water. Bravo to the entire team!

Robin & Tom, Tennessee
We have sailed with Jean and Mila on 2 separate occasions, both in, Croatia, and found them to be delightful people to be with on a sailing adventure. They know the sailing areas and islands extremely well, including hidden gems and restaurants on each island that you might not find on your own. They are well organized and do an excellent job of planning, yet remain flexible enough to take into account the desires of the group. We hope to take more sailing adventures with them in the future.
Bob & Cathy, California

Loved it. Inclusive, welcoming, great training, fun.
