The mooring with the sailboat in the harbour of Hvar is almost impossible in the season since the rather small and narrow city’s harbour is occupied with vessels in the range from local fishermen’s boats to mega yachts. The city of Hvar is a unique fusion of luxurious Mediterranean nature, rich cultural and historical heritage, and mundane tourist present. THE SIGHTS TO VISIT IN HVAR: Franciscan monastery & Museum, Fortica, StStephen’s square and cathedral, Hvar’s theatre (and Arsenal), Bishop’s Treasury and Benedictine Monastery.

Maslinica on the island of Šolta

DAY 7 – FRIDAY

Starigrad – Maslinica – Split – 35NM

Sail from Starigrad along the southern side of the Šolta island to the place of Maslinica. Maslinica, by many the most beautiful settlement on the island of Šolta, is the charming small fishermen village placed on the western side of the island of Šolta with the archipelago of seven small islands spread in front of the entrance in the Maslinica bay. The restoration of the baroque castle, originally built by the Venetian family Marchi, which is nowadays turned into the luxury hotel and building a marina has turned Maslinica into the touristic center of the island of Šolta but still far away from mass tourism.
On the way back to Split stop in Rogač, the place on the northern side of the island of Šolta to refuel in order to avoid long time waiting at the fuel station in Split.
If you didn’t have a chance to go sightseeing Split before getting on the sailboat we surely recommend you do it now. Split, more than 1.700 years old town, grown out of the Roman emperor Diocletian palace  is very much worth seeing.


DAY 8 – SATURDAY
