Day 8
In the morning sail towards the island of Bisevo and one of
the most famous sights of the Adriatic, Modra Spilja (the Blue
Cave). It is only five nautical miles south-west of Komiza.
A word of advice: it is a good idea to sail early, before the
tide. The main part of the cave is an open space under the sea
which in combination with the third hole in its roof, about
three meters above the sea, creates the most extraordinary and
beautiful light effect. After the wonderful “blue experience”
you should start sailing along the south side of the island
of Vis. There are numerous beautiful bays of which the best
known is the bay of Stiniva, definitely worth seeing. You can
anchor on the coastal side of the bay. The next part of the
rout will take you towards the islands of Ravnik and Budihovac,
perfect places for a refreshing swimming before entering Vis
harbour.
Day 9
Today you will be sailing towards the island of Korcula passing
the island of Proizd. The island of Proizd is famous for its
lovely beaches so we recommend stopping there and diving into
the blue water. After that go to Vela Luka on the island of
Korcula. You can find a petrol station here. Vela Luka is the
biggest bay on the island and itself consists of a series of
smaller bays. It is the best-protected harbor and a safe place
to spend the night.
Day 10
Sailing along the south side of the island of Korcula towards
the town Korcula will take a long time so we recommend an early
start. Also, it is good to get there before the sunset to find
the place to anchor in the ACI marina. Korcula is the biggest
on the island and was already one of the principal Dalmatian
ports by the early thirteenth century, and is thought to have
been the birthplace of Marco Polo. The town has many historic
buildings and still retains its medieval center and walls. It
is worth spending some time sightseeing around this place. It
is worth mentioning that there are few more places on the way
to Korcula, which you may find particularly interesting and
worth visiting. Among them are the harbors at Karbuni, Prizba
and Putnatska. You may even want to spend the night in one of
these places.
Day 11
If you haven’t yet got to Korcula, continue sailing towards
the cape of Raznjic and then on towards the town of Korcula.
On the way you can visit the island of Badija with its famous
Franciscan monastery. However, if you spent the night in Korcula,
continue sailing further south towards the island of Mljet and
the town of Pomene. It is approx. 14 miles from Korcula. You
can anchor the boat on the seafront in front of the hotel. Mljet
is a real paradise for sailors, where one can find plenty of
fish and very great hospitality. After anchoring in Pomena,
you must visit the Mljet’s national park, whose beauty must
be seen to be believed.
Day 12
After Pomena sail on, passing the cape of Glavat towards one
of the biggest bays on the island – Polace. Polace is well protected
from strong winds such as the Bura and the Jugo, as it is surrounded
by small islands. There are six different ways of getting into
the bay through all the various islands and all of them are
safe. However, there is a shallow stretch of water of about
30 meters in front of the little cape below the Stupa peninsula
on the northwest side of the bay and then appears again below
the little island of Moracnik (just opposite the peninsula).
The central part of this passage is deep enough.
All the islands are good for anchoring, but the bay of Tatinica
Mala is recommended, just from the island of Kobrava. There
you will notice the remains of an old Roman palace next to the
dock. After visiting Polace you should be heading towards Sobra
and then towards Prozura or its neighboring port, Okulje. Both
of these ports are well-protected and good places to spend the
night.
Day 13
Today, after a good rest, sail towards Dubrovnik. If you don’t
want to go straight all the way to Dubrovnik you can sail to
Sipanska Luka. The best place for anchoring is in the harbor,
because the ferry occupies the entire harbor front. After anchoring
it is worth walking to Sipanjsko Polje to see the vineyards
and olive groves interspersed with summer villas.
Day 14
Today you are heading towards the coast again, towards our last
destination, Dubrovnik, passing the island of Lopud, another
great place for swim, before arriving at Dubrovnik.
In Gruz harbor (if there is enough space) you can anchor next
to the breakwater of the Yacht Club – Orsan on the west side
of the harbor. It is also possible to anchor on the opposite
side of the harbor. Walk along the Stradun (the main street
in Dubrovnik) and the numerous small streets in and around the
city. The perfectly preserved city walls and historical buildings
will take your breath away. Do not lose the opportunity to sail
into the City harbor as sailors have done for hundreds of years.
Sailors built this magnificent town and the only way fully to
appreciate the beauty of the place is to arrive from the sea.
Dubrovnik is under the protection of UNESCO. This rout suggests
spending the last two days in Dubrovnik to give you enough time
to enjoy the city to the full.
