Whether you’re seeking a leisurely week-long Gulet Cruise or have the luxury of a few weeks to fully immerse in this captivating region, you’ll primarily have two alluring itineraries to consider: sailing South or journeying North.

Opting for the Southward route will unveil a voyage of discovery through the captivating Adriatic islands and the mesmerizing Kornati archipelago. Murter, the nearest island to the mainland, stands as a yachting hub, offering an outer coast adorned with breathtaking bays. Here, you might find yourself anchored in splendid isolation, surrounded by untamed nature. Hvar, the crown jewel of the Adriatic coast and Dalmatia, is an essential stop on your Blue Cruise odyssey. Known for its captivating landmarks, historical and architectural marvels, rich literary heritage, vibrant nightlife in Hvar city, and strategic nautical significance, Hvar promises an enriching experience.

The Northern route encompasses Ugljan island, nestled near Zadar. This island, among the largest in the Adriatic, boasts charming towns, quaint villages, and serene sandy beaches, perfect for rejuvenating swims. Prepare to be astounded by the unique, verdant beauty of these Mediterranean isles. Each day of your Blue Cruise will bestow panoramic views of olive groves, pine forests, and lush woodlands. The serene joy of sailing aboard a Gulet, gliding gracefully like a swan through untouched nature, is an experience beyond compare. Sheltered natural harbors abound, offering a multitude of anchorages and tranquil bays.

Dubrovnik serves as the quintessential embarkation or disembarkation point for Gulet yacht cruises along the Dalmatian Coast. This city is renowned for its Ancient City Walls and gained further fame as a backdrop for the fictional city in the Game of Thrones television series. The Dalmatian coast experiences distinct peak and off seasons. From June to August, the sun shines brightly, embracing a quintessential summer ambiance. From October to April, the off season prevails, with many shops, restaurants, and attractions closed, limiting options for island hopping. For the optimal experience, consider visiting Croatia in May or September, when you can secure substantial discounts on Blue Cruise Croatia charter fees, while enjoying the beauty of this captivating coastal wonderland.
