Dubrovnik round trip on sailing yacht Lagoon 42

Welcome aboard to your home for the next 8 days!

On arrival, you’ll receive delicious welcome bubbles. Then we’ll take a tour of your sailing yacht.

After drinks and the yacht tour, we’ll start sailing to our 1. destination- one of the islands around Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik and its surrounding 13 islands are global cultural heritage pearls, best experienced from the sea.

It will take us around two hours to reach our first destination- one of the Elafiti Islands. The Elafiti islands are a group of islands with untouched nature and many hidden bays. They got their name from the Greek word elafos, meaning deer. In ancient times they were home to a large deer population.

We know you want to swim as soon as possible. We will take you off the beaten path to jump into the crystal clear Adriatic Sea.

This night we are staying in a beautiful small town. It’s delightful to take a walk here and explore the surroundings. This is an excellent place for a sundowner. The sky blooms orange and magenta, the air is tinged with salt, and the food is drool-worthy. Here you can try exceptional Mediterranean cuisine.

Good morning!

After breakfast, we will anchor in a pristine secluded bay. A bay perfect for swimming, water activities, and sunbathing.

It’s also perfect for sipping a glass of wine. 🙂

After lunch, we will sail to Ston. The towns of Ston and Mali Ston are delightful- very inconspicuous and low key. They are both full of rich history, superb cuisine, and delicious wine. Ston is a must-see destination.

The walls of Ston are the second-longest preserved fortification system in the world. The medieval stone wall is well worth the walk. Trust us, it’s impressive! You can also visit the oldest salt pans in Europe still in use and buy original souvenirs.

Later afternoon we organized an exquisite and unique Mali Ston oyster experience.

Mali Ston oysters are a delicacy that makes you feel alive. They are protected throughout the European Union, guaranteeing you an authentic product. The oyster tasting includes sailing across Mali Ston bay to an oyster farm. You will indulge in oysters, mussels, local wine, traditional brandy, and homemade sweets.

Today you can have breakfast on the way before we anchor in a crystal clear and blue bay surrounded by pine woods. A perfect spot to have a glass of wine, unwind, decompress, relax, and have fun.

Our stop for the night is a charming village where it feels like time stopped years ago. It’s slow, peaceful, and relaxing- the Mediterranean as it used to be. From here you will go on a wine tour. You will be surrounded by photogenic rolling hills filled with mesmerizing vineyards.

This experience includes a guided tour with the winemaker. You will enjoy a 4-course meal with only local and organic food. The winemaker will pour 5 different ecologically produced wines to enjoy.

Cheers! Živjeli!

We have a very relaxing plan for today: sunbathing, snacks, and swimming.

We will sail towards Korčula, known as ˝little Dubrovnik˝. With the ancient architecture, tall city walls, and so much greenery Korčula will sweep you off your feet. The swimming and lunch spot of the day is one of our favorite bays in the area.

On this island grows a unique grape variety called Grk. The plan is for you to taste Grk in one of the best wineries that produce it. You will try different types of wine and snacks.

After wine tasting, we recommend exploring the city.

Wander through the streets and enjoy live music. Have dinner in one of the old traditional restaurants that Korčula offers. Bon Appetit!

In the morning we’ll start sailing to the Lastovnjaci islands. It’s a beautiful swimming and lunch stop of the day.

Our destination for the night is the unforgettable Island Lastovo. It’s the furthest inhabited Croatian island that counts less than 900 people. Lastovo island is a nautical paradise with pristine nature and secret secluded coves. The Island is a peaceful spot with beautiful and tranquil villages.

The entire island is one of Croatia’s Nature Parks. It offers endless nature, quiet beaches, hiking trails, and gorgeous postcard views.

The thousand-year-long tradition of viticulture of Lastovo is impressive and continues today.

This evening we will organize a wine tasting on your sailing yacht. We made a selection of the best wines from Croatia.

Croatia produces some of the finest wines you will ever try. Most of the wines are made from grape sorts grown only in Croatia. You will get tasting notes and a story behind each wine. In that way, you can get familiar with the terroir and history behind the wines.

After you wake up we will start sailing towards Mljet Island- one of Croatia’s eight National Parks. Mljet, “the most seductive island in the Adriatic”, is Croatia’s greenest island. It has Mediterranean vegetation. The sea here is clear and clean, rich in fish and marine life. Mljet has a gentle sandy shoreline.

You can visit the National park and explore valuable cultural heritage. Swimming in the National Park is always an excellent choice, even in colder months. The Sea here is much warmer than on the seashores of the Island.

After lunch, we will fuel up the yacht and sail to our final stop for the day. A cozy bay in a secluded cove on Mljet with a traditional ‘konoba’. Here you can try delicious local specialties such as wild game meat which Mljet is famous for. You can choose fish on the grill, local vegetables, and mouthwatering desserts.

It’s a unique experience because you’ll be surrounded by nature, the sea, and the sky full of stars. You and your closest friends or family will enjoy the local culture, food, and customs.

In the morning, there is plenty of time to swim, snorkel, and relax. Relish in one of the most beautiful bays that this part of Dubrovnik Archipelago has to offer.

We will start sailing towards Dubrovnik after lunch. The best way to see the Walls of Dubrovnik is from the Sea. Your jaw will drop as you sail between the mountains and the Adriatic Sea with a view from your yacht.

There is no better time to pop open a bottle of sparkling wine than now.

Cheers to the best holiday ever!

We will dock in Dubrovnik marina before sunset. For your last evening, you can choose to visit the town of Dubrovnik. Walk around and explore UNESCO protected heritage. Of course, you can stay on your yacht or walk around the marina as well.

Coffee time and check out until 9 am.
