 Departure Split - It's not easy to suggest an itinerary through the central Dalmatian Islands; you can have fun spending three or four days around Vis and Bisevo Islands, or sailing along Solta Bay or around Brac Island and around Bol-Jelsa-Vrboska-Stari Grad triangle. Then, during the remaining days, you can discover the wonderful bays in Paklinski or Scedro Islands. And what about the beautiful southern part of Korcula Island or the navigation challenges around Lastovo. Two weeks would never be enoughfor a complete tour of central Dalmatia. So here is one of the proposals.


 Day 1° Maslinica (Solta Island) - For the first day you just need to cover distance of 19 miles, from Split to Solta Island (only 3 miles away from Trogir). The little islands in front of Maslinica, on the west cape of the island, create a beautiful panorama. Just next to Maslinica, you can find Sesula bay.


 Day 2° Komica (Vis Island) - Sail again towards the open sea and go on for 29 miles to reach Komiza. With a favourable mistral blowing, you can sail pleasantly. In front of Barjaci Cape, on Vis, the waves will increase due to the mistral. In Komiza, if you can find a free mooring, drop anchor behind the breakwater where you can are supplied with electricity and water. You can spend a pleasant evening and listen to the glorious fishing traditions of these islands: today fishing remains the principal income for the inhabitants.


 Day 3° Bisevo Island - The following day, start by sailing for 5 miles towards Bisevo e try to drop anchor at the entrance of the Blue Cave. If it's not possible, part of the crew can reach the shore by tender; otherwise if you can swim the experience will be even more exciting. The light gives birth to many shadows and figures according to the position of the sun; the best moment is around midday. Before coming back to Vis, move on around Bisevo to reach Salbunare Bay or Porta on the other side. While sailing along Vis's coast, you can discover a natural phenomenon: a beach totally castled on the rocks. You can stop for a while at the little Budihovac Island where, by coming from the south, you can find transparent waters of a lagoon.


 Day 3° Vis (Vis Island) - In the late afternoon, sail past the north-east cape of Vis and anter into its harbour, supplied with mooring behind the breakwater. You can also moor in Kut, the old beautiful south-east part of the harbour. During the whole day you'll be sailing for 23 miles.


 Day 4° Hvar (Hvar Island) - The following day you can leave for Hvar (14 miles): you can decide whether to moor in the crowded Hvar Harbour, at Palmizana Marina on the green Paklinski Islands or opt for one of the ten bays along the southern coast. You can't absolutely lose Hvar: it has an important history, that goes back to the Venetian naval domination, and is set in a picturesque natural environment.


 Day 5° Stari Grad (Hvar Island) - After Pelegrin Cape, reach Stari Grad during the following day. You can stop on you way for a bath in the beautiful bays of the north coast or in the dozen of inlets in Tiha Harbour, on the north cape o Stari Grad Bay. In these lonely and deep bays you can find the other side of Hvar: an island of fishermen and peasants. As well as in Vis, here you can find well-equipped moorings.


 Day 6° Milna (Brac Island) - You can spend this day sailing across the various inlets in the east, towards Vrboska and Jelsa. If you wish to take the shorter way, you can head directly to Milna on Brac Island (15 miles from Stari Grad), where you can find two marina. If you've got time, before you get over Splitska Vrata while sailing towards Milna, have a bath in one of the various inlets of the splendid Lucice Bay, only 2 miles south-east away from Splitska Vrata. The following day, to come back to split, you only have to sail for 10 miles (18 for Trogir): you'll be in time for a bath in one of the bays you find on your way to Brac (next to Bobovsica) or on Solta (Stipanska, Lestimanova, Kruscica).
