Sample itinerary
Welcome to Delphinus Yachting
Stress free and flexibility
The itinerary for your cruise onboard Yacht Delphinus is flexible to suit how you like to spend your time on holiday and to maximise your enjoyment. It can be tailored to the number of actual sailing miles you wish to log each day, time spent sightseeing, swimming in the warm crystal clear water, learning the ropes, brushing up on RYA navigation theory, honing your boat handling skills and mooring techniques or just lazy days afloat reading a book on deck whilst soaking up the sun with a cold drink in hand as we hop between the stunning Islands and Dalmatian coastline. As always however, weather conditions can sometimes dictate the day. Here is a sample itinerary for guests arriving early or mid morning.
Day 1
Arrival
Meet and greet at the airport. A short drive to Cavtat for a leg stretch around this picturesque harbour followed by a curtesy drive up to the top of Mount Srd to take in the spectacular view of Dubrovnik 'Old Town' and lunch, or just a drink (not included in the charter fee), in the cliff top 'Panorama Restaurant'. (www.nautikarestaurants.com/panorama-restaurant-bar/) Or perhaps you would prefer to head straight back to Delphinus just a 30 minute drive from the airport to relax onboard after an early start to your day. Either way, complimentary welcome drinks and snacks will be available whilst you familiarise yourself with Yacht Delphinus and we run through the 'obligatory' safety briefing. For guests keen to 'Get Going ASAP', we can slip lines and sail off to a nearby Island to anchor offshore or pick up one of the taverna mooring buoys for the evening. Those wishing to catch their breath may prefer to just chill out onboard Delphinus on her private mooring whilst enjoying complimentary drinks for the afternoon. Take a wander down to one of the local restaurants for supper or head into Dubrovnik Old Town for a 'must do' site seeing visit of this stunning UNESCO World Heritage site.
Day 2
Lokrum and Sipan
A short sail round to Dubrovnik Old Town to get your sea legs and take in the view of this breath taking fortification from seaward. Anchor for lunch off the nearby island of Lokrum. Swim or tender ashore to explore this charming little Island. Afternoon sail to the Island of Sipan. Anchor and take the tender ashore for supper or perhaps enjoy the Skippers' BBQ onboard.
Day 3
Ston and Mljet
Sail to the little town of Ston on the Peljesac peninsular, famous for its salt pans and oyster farms, sight see the town and 'walk the wall' for those feeling energetic. The view from the top is worth the effort! Afternoon sail over to the island of Mljet to overnight in one of the many picturesque harbours.
Day 4
Mljet
Sail up along the coast of Mljet to Polace or Pomena on its most Western tip. From there, take a taxi or hire electric bicycles to visit the beautiful national park and enjoy a lakeside picnic lunch. Perhaps the Skippers BBQ on board at anchor in the evening or moor up outside one of the local Tavernas for supper.
Day 5
Korcula
Sail over to the Island of Korcula to experience the beautiful old walled town of Korcula itself, often referred to as 'Little Dubrovnik, and firmly believed by Croatians to be the birth place of Marco Polo.
Day 6
Mljet
Sail back to the Island of Mljet and down its coastline to overnight in the beautiful harbour of Sobra or Okuklje as we make our way back to Dubrovnik.
Day 7
Dubrovnik
On our sail back to Dubrovnik, anchor for lunch in one of the numerous secluded bays on route and enjoy one last swim in the clear water before tying Delphinus back up on her home mooring. Late afternoon / early evening 'must do' site seeing visit of Dubrovnik Old Town if not already done so on day of arrival.
