Day by day

Three easy nights within a couple of hours of base: the perfect first charter, or a long birthday weekend. Short hops, sandy bays and konoba dinners, never more than a couple of hours from base.

  1. Fri

    Day 1 · Pirovac → Murter (Slanica)

    Afternoon board, short sail to Murter · ~10 nm · ~2 hrs

    Board in the afternoon, take the briefing at your own pace, then make the short sail to Murter’s sandy Slanica bay for a first swim. Dinner ashore in Murter town, and your first quiet night at anchor.

    10 nm First swim
  2. Sat

    Day 2 · Murter → Žut

    Murter → Žut, Kornati gateway · ~14 nm · ~3 hrs

    A proper little sail west to Žut, the doorway to the Kornati. Free moorings if you eat at the bay’s restaurant, clear water to swim in, and a twenty-minute ridge walk for a sunset the whole crew will photograph.

    14 nm Restaurant mooring
  3. Sun

    Day 3 · Žut → Kaprije

    Žut → Kaprije · ~12 nm · ~2.5 hrs

    Drift down to sleepy Kaprije: fifty inhabitants, no cars, two konobas. Anchor in the bay or take the village mooring and eat fish under the fig trees at Konoba Mareta. The most peaceful night of the trip.

    12 nm Fig-tree konoba
  4. Mon

    Day 4 · Kaprije → Pirovac

    Kaprije → Pirovac · ~12 nm · ~2.5 hrs

    One last morning swim, then a gentle reach back to base for late morning. Plenty of time to pack, settle up and still make an afternoon onward journey, or simply linger over a final coffee on the dock.

    12 nm Pirovac
