You choose between ACI Split right by the city and Marina Kaštela with the surrounding bases. The urban start puts the old town within reach until the moment you cast off; Kaštela offers a more practical exit through the Kaštela Bay. Both lead to the same islands, so pick by the kind of first day you want.
Šolta, Milna and southern Brač can be early stops. For a longer trip, consider Hvar, the Pakleni Islands and Vis. Adapt the order and length of passages to the boat, crew and forecast.
Split suits crews on their first or second serious charter, families and mixed groups who want choice and a simple arrival. It suits you less if a quiet, unhurried embarkation is your top priority — Šibenik does that better. For a fast entry into the Kornati look at Zadar, and for the south, Dubrovnik.
A quick view of day one, a shorter charter, and a full sailing week from this base.
Day one
Sort embarkation and provisioning early, then take a short leg to Šolta or Milna on Brač. One brief passage gets you clear of the city bustle while the day is still yours.
3 days
Work through Šolta, Milna and the south side of Brač at an easy pace. Three days is enough for the crew to find its rhythm without a single long passage.
7 days
A full week opens up the classic central Dalmatian route: Hvar, the Pakleni Islands and Vis, returning via Šolta or Brač. Legs stay moderate and there is no shortage of stops along the way.
Choose Split for Šolta, Brač and Hvar, or Šibenik for Zlarin, Prvić and the Šibenik islands. Compare actual listings and departure marinas; crowds and boat choice depend on your dates.
Split is a starting point for central Dalmatia’s islands, while Dubrovnik opens onto the Elaphiti Islands and the southern Adriatic. Choose by the islands you want to visit, arrival options and the boat that suits you.
It can be, with a boat and route suited to the crew’s experience. Agree the first passage and departure time with the provider or skipper based on the forecast, and allow enough time for handover.
