Itinerary

This page will give you some insight into each location we plan to sail to and includes notes on considerations for the conditions and the course we may sail between islands. We will work with our charter partner to firm up the schedule and route in the weeks prior to the sail, taking into account expected conditions and local regulations. It is possible the exact course and schedule may not be set until the briefing at the charter base, however we do our best to go into the week with a high degree of confidence in our itinerary. Skippers and First Mates will chat daily during the cruise to agree on the float plan for the coming day, to take into consideration any change in weather. In the event of a significant change in wind direction and strength we will make adjustments to the itinerary to ensure the safety of flotilla participants as a first priority.

For all ports of call consult the Cruising Guide onboard for more options to do and see ashore. If you are inclined to familiarize yourself with the guide prior to the trip you can grab it directly from Imray, or from Amazon and Landfall Navigation. Note that the current, 8th, Edition was published in 2020. A 9th Edition is expected this year however we have no information on timing. A PDF Supplement to the 8th Edition was published in 2024.

The itinerary is subject to change right up to and during the cruise, based on discussion with Skippers and the charter company, the weather and sea conditions expected each day and any changes to regulations.

Check back here often for updates to the itinerary.

This charter eGuide, provided by Sunsail, complements the online Chart Briefing and contains a wealth of information about travelling and cruising in The Dalmatian Islands, including notes on currency, renting cars, supermarket shopping, as well as specific information about the various anchorages we will stop at during the Flotilla, guidance on grounding, health and safety when underway and emergency contact information.

Note that there are more locations covered than we have the time to visit so not all places mentioned will be in our itinerary. We will, however, be sure to stop at all the ‘must see’ spots that our cruising grounds have to offer. Some of the details for our location stops may have been updated since the eGuide was published. We’ll get the latest information during the onsite chart briefing.
