When there is no time for a whole week, three days between Čiovo, Šolta and Brač give you everything that makes cruising Dalmatia what it is: a turquoise bay, a quiet harbour below a castle and dinner in a konoba you reach by boat.

The distances are short and the sea is sheltered by the islands, so the route also suits crews who are just starting out.

Tips for this route

  • The bridge between Trogir and Čiovo is too low for sailboats. Boats with a mast arrive and leave from the west, between Čiovo and the Čelice rock.
  • The Blue Lagoon is very shallow and packed by day. Go in slowly and in good light, and anchor on sand.
  • The konobas in Šešula and on Krknjaši are open only in season. Out of season bring everything you need.

Distances are approximate and calculated for the shortest safe passage. Time under way is calculated at a speed of about 6 knots.
