Island Hopping From Trogir, Family Week Plan
15 minute read

Split is the hub for catamaran charter in Croatia. Modern marinas in Split, Trogir, and Kaštela streamline embarkation. Short island hops suit families and mixed crews. A typical week covers Hvar, Brač, Vis, and Korčula. Expect clear water, safe anchorages, and UNESCO heritage.
Choose bareboat or a crewed catamaran. Our local team plans routes, moorings, and restaurant stops. Summer brings a steady Maestral in the afternoon. Skipper briefings include Bora procedures and safe-harbor options. Comfort and safety stay first.

Hvar Town mixes lively evenings with Venetian history. Walk up to Fortica for wide island views. Stroll St. Stephen’s Square and the waterfront. Moor in ACI Palmižana on St. Klement or pick up a buoy in Vinogradišće. Swim the coves of Ždrilca, Mlini, and Perna. Take a water taxi to Hvar Town for dinner, then return to the quiet bay. In July and August, book berths and restaurants early. Plan arrivals by early afternoon when the Maestral rises. This is a perfect first hop for your catamaran charter from Split.

Sail to Bol for Zlatni Rat, one of the Adriatic’s most photographed beaches. Respect the swim zone and local rules. Milna offers fuel, repairs, and easy provisioning. Bobovišća na Moru is a calm overnight stop with mooring buoys. Visit Pučišća, famous for white stone and a pretty horseshoe bay. Drop lines in Lučice, a deep, sheltered bay with clear water and a good seaside konoba. Hike to Blaca Hermitage from the coast path for a dose of history. Drive or hike up Vidova Gora for the highest viewpoint on the Adriatic islands. Expect short, family-friendly passages and reliable afternoon breezes.

Vis feels authentic and unhurried. Choose Vis Town or Kut for safe moorings, water, and power. Komiža on the west side offers a classic stone waterfront and sunset views. Swim in Stiniva, a narrow cove with dramatic cliffs, then try Rukavac, Srebrna, and Smokova for clear water and sand patches. Anchor at Budikovac’s Blue Lagoon for a turquoise stop. Visit the Green Cave on Ravnik, tickets at the entry and swimming allowed when conditions permit. For Biševo’s Blue Cave, buy tickets at Mezoporat and board the official boats. Morning brings fewer crowds. Late morning often gives the best blue glow, weather and swell allowing. If the swell is up, switch to a military tunnel tour or a relaxed afternoon in a protected bay. This leg adds adventure to any Split catamaran route.
