MY Vilma / Route T4

Port of Trogir - Central Dalmatia

Premium

Description

More than 50 years ago, Srećko Novaković and his ship Pravedan started to sail with tourists through the Croatian islands. In the last couple of years, his son Mario, a former football professional, assisted him. For quite a long time, Mario was thinking about how he could offer even more comfort to his guests. As you cannot simply enlarge a “small” ship like the Pravedan, he decided to build a new ship. And he decided to build a ship without masts, i.e. not a motorized sailing boat, but a comfortable motor yacht – the MY Vilma. The advantages of such a ship cannot be denied: it can pass through bridges which are too low for most of the motorized sailing boats. For example the bridge over the Neretva river nearby Rogotin, which is even too low by one metre for the Pravedan with its height of “only” 15 metres. Therefore, the Vilma can also sail on our route T5 through the unique Neretva River Delta to Metković, from where it is only a stone's throw to Mostar. Mario has built a new ship in winter 2018/2019, so that his son Antonio has taken over the command, who has long since followed in the nautical footsteps of his grandfather and father. The Vilma quickly became one of the best booked ships in our fleet, and not only the comfort on board, but also the hospitality and service of the Novaković family contribute to this.

Route

This two-week route is a combination of our T2 and T3 routes. Experience the highlights of northern, central and southern Dalmatia from Zadar via Split to Dubrovnik. Including four national and nature parks and five UNESCO cities.
Route:
Trogir – Rogoznica – Zadar – Island of Dugi Otok – Kornati Islands National Park – Vodice – Krka Waterfalls – Šibenik – Island of Zlarin – Split – Island of Šolta – Trogir – Split – Island of Hvar – Island of Mljet – Dubrovnik – Island of Korčula – Island of Brač – Trogir

Embarkation in the port of Trogir between 01:00 and 02:00 pm. If you are travelling to Trogir in your own car, you can drive to our car park reception from 10:00 am until 01:00 pm at the latest. Park your car here and our service team will take your luggage to the harbour or onto the ship in good time. You can walk from the car park to the harbour in around 10-15 minutes. After embarkation, you will be greeted by our tour guide with a welcome drink and get to know the crew and fellow travellers. We then weigh anchor and sail towards Rogoznica, a picturesque fishing village situated on an island connected to the mainland by a causeway, during lunch. On the way, we anchor in a bay to enjoy the cool waters of the Adriatic for the first time on our journey.
The embarkation port for passengers depends on the flight times. If you book your flight and transfer via I.D. Riva Tours and arrive at Split Airport by 01:00 pm, embarkation in Trogir is guaranteed; if you arrive later, embarkation takes place in the first overnight harbour.

We leave the mainland and head for one of the islands in the Šibenik archipelago for a swim. We then travel to Zadar, the cultural and economic centre of northern Dalmatia. On arrival in Zadar, our tour guide awaits you for a guided tour of the old town, which is situated on a peninsula and surrounded by mighty walls. She will show you the most important sights – e.g. the Roman Forum, the round church Sveti Donat, the cathedral Sveta Stošija and the sea organs, which are unique in the world and whose sound and ‘melodies’ are determined solely by the waves. Overnight stay in Zadar.

Our destination today is the island of Dugi Otok, which means ‘long island’. It is aptly named, as it is 45 km long but only a few hundred metres wide. After a break for a swim, we head for the Telašćica Nature Park, an approximately 8 km deep bay in the south of the island of Dugi Otok (admission approx. €10 per person, payable on site). We recommend a walk to the saltwater lake, which is connected to the sea underground. From here you can also reach the cliffs, which are up to 161 metres high and offer breathtaking views of the sea.

‘On the last day of creation, God wanted to crown his work, and so he created the Kornati out of tears, stars and breath,’ wrote the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. They are the largest and densest collection of islands in the Adriatic Sea – 147 islands, islets and reefs stretch out over a length of around 35 kilometres. We sail the entire length of the Kornati and after a swimming break we call at the harbour of Vodice, a lively holiday resort. In the evening, enjoy a glass of wine in one of the cosy taverns or konobas.

A few miles further south, we leave the Adriatic Sea and turn into the mouth of the River Krka. We sail upstream and anchor in Skradin, just before the famous Krka waterfalls. This is also the departure point for the boats that take you into the national park. Opportunity to visit the ‘Skradinski Buk’, at 800 metres the longest and probably most famous part of the waterfalls. An impressive natural spectacle, where the Krka falls in 17 steps with cascades up to 100 metres wide. Admission to the national park incl. boat transfer € 20 (April, May, October) or € 40 (June-September), payable on site. On our return to the Adriatic, we first moor in Šibenik. The most famous building in the fortress-like old town is St James' Cathedral, the most important Renaissance monument in Croatia. After a short stroll through the old town, we head back to the islands and moor for the night in the small harbour of the fishing village of Zlarin on the island of the same name.

Our first destination of the day is Split, the capital of Dalmatia. The main attraction of Split is the old town centre, which has grown out of Diocletian's Palace. The complex, which is a World Heritage Site, is home to 1700-year-old Roman buildings, churches, cafés… places full of flair! We then leave Split and head for the island of Šolta. The island is characterised by extensive olive groves, which form the basis for the first-class, extremely dark olive oil from this island. We moor for the night in the cosy harbour of the village of Stomorska.

We leave the island of Šolta and sail to Trogir. On the way, we naturally anchor in one of the countless bays for a long swim. In the afternoon we reach Trogir, which is also known as the ‘museum city’ due to its UNESCO-protected old town. It is simply an experience to stroll through the winding, cobbled streets in the afternoon or evening and marvel at the medieval vaults and beautiful courtyards. Guided tour of the old town centre, followed by the opportunity to dine in one of the countless restaurants.

We weigh anchor again at around 02:00 pm and after lunch we head for a bay on the island of Čiovo, where we have the opportunity to enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic. Today's destination is Split, the capital of Dalmatia. Free time in Split and opportunity for dinner in one of the countless restaurants.
Note: From 2025, a pier in the harbour of Split will be completely reconstructed (major construction site), which will reduce the number of berths available. In exceptional cases, Split will therefore not be called at on Saturdays, but instead Omiš, Milna (island of Brač) or Rogač (island of Šolta), for example.

We leave Split, pass the ‘Splitska Vrata’ strait between the islands of Brač and Šolta and set course for Hvar – the island is known for its mild climate and extensive lavender fields. On the way, we call at a bay for a swim. The harbour of the main town of the same name on the island of Hvar lies at the foot of a fortress, from which there is a fantastic view of the Pakleni islands archipelago off the coast. If the number of ships docking in the small harbour of Hvar allows, we will also spend the night here. Alternatively, we can dock in Hvar in the morning and have around two hours to explore the town. In this case, we will then continue our journey to the next island.

We set course for the island of Korčula and sail along its southern coast. After a swimming break in one of Korčula's bays, we head for Pomena or Polače on the island of Mljet. Part of the island has been declared a national park - two saltwater lakes (in the larger of the two lakes there is an islet with a former monastery) are only connected to the sea by a narrow channel. Opportunity to visit the national park (admission incl. boat trip to the islet with the monastery € 15 in May and October, € 25 from June to September, payable on site). We recommend a swim in the salt water lakes, whose temperature is always around 2°C higher than the sea temperature. Overnight stay in Pomena or Polače.

We leave the island of Mljet and continue our journey. After a swimming break at the Elafiti Islands, we arrive in Dubrovnik harbour at around 04:00 pm. Dubrovnik is not wrongly called the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, as it was one of the most important economic and cultural centres of the Mediterranean during its heyday in the Middle Ages. Today, the old town centre presents itself to visitors as a unique open-air museum with a wealth of sights. After arrival, guided tour of the old town. The Old Town is just a few minutes away by bus, which departs from the immediate vicinity of our boats. Departure approximately every 10-20 minutes, fare € 1.73 (at the kiosk) or € 2.50 (on the bus), last return journey around 0:45 am (as of October 2024). After the city tour, you have the rest of the day to discover and enjoy the unique old town. Stroll along the famous ‘Stradun’, take a walk along the mighty city walls or take the cable car up the 415-metre-high Srđ mountain, which offers a unique view of the old town and the sea.

We head north-west again and, after a swimming break at the Elafiti Islands, head for the island of Korčula. Korčula has one of the most beautiful old towns in Dalmatia and is often referred to as ‘Little Dubrovnik’ due to its fortress-like appearance. Overnight stay in the birthplace of the famous seafarer and explorer Marco Polo.

We drive along the mountainous Pelješac peninsula, famous for its excellent red wines. We then sail around the eastern end of the island of Hvar and, after a break for a swim, set course for the island of Brač. The island is world-famous for its limestone, which is quarried here. It has been used in buildings such as the White House in Washington and the Reichstag in Berlin. We stop at one of the island's cosy places to spend the night.

We leave the island of Brač and after a swimming break in a bay on the island of Čiovo, we bid farewell to the Dalmatian island world - we return to the starting point of our journey, Trogir. Opportunity for dinner in one of the countless restaurants and overnight stay.

After breakfast, disembarkation until 9:00 am.

The itinerary is subject to change due to local conditions and current weather conditions.

Location

Port of Trogir - Central Dalmatia

One of the most picturesque old towns of Dalmatia. Trogir – about 20 km north of Split, close to the airport. The old town is situated on a small island, which is connected by a bridge to the main land. Another bridge leads from this island to the island of Čiovo, upstream of Trogir. Due to its numerous monuments from all periods, Trogir is also called “Museum City”. It is a great experience to stroll through the narrow alleys during the afternoon or evening time. The massive walls, defence towers, churches, frescoes and vaults are simply astonishing. It is also interesting to take a look into the old back yards. After visiting the museums, treasuries, art collections and old libraries, restaurants, cafés, taverns and the typical Konobas invite you to enjoy a relaxing break. Seget, which is situated right next to Trogir, actually consists of two villages, Seget Donji with its superb stone and gravel beaches, and Seget Gornji, set a few miles away on a mountain, with its ancient stone houses. In short: Trogir and Seget are the ideal combination for a relaxing and exciting vacation.

Sojourn tax and harbour fees are not included in the prices and are payable in cash on board upon embarkation. These are € 49 per person and week, € 24 for children up to 12 years.

Tip recommendation: You will certainly be happy to reward the service crew’s performance with a tip. We recommend an amount from € 70 per cabin and week.
