Gulet Family Cruise Croatia

Starting out in Split, you will follow the scenic Dalmatian coast southward and be on the lookout for hidden bays to grab a swim in the turquoise waters of the Adriatic. Passing Omiš, you can opt for a zipline ride, rafting, or any other adrenaline-inducing activities in the canyon of the Cetina River.

As the day nears its end, you will enter Makarska Riviera and sail into the port of Makarska, a coastal town below the Biokovo mountain range. Lively and perfect for families, you will surely find something interesting to do among the town’s shops, restaurants, parks, and more.

Today’s destination is the island of Mljet, famous for its Mljet National Park, which includes several picturesque saltwater lakes. Passing the Pelješac Peninsula on the way, you will have a perfect option to stop for an early morning swim in one of its secluded coves.

The highlight of the day will be the visit to the Mljet National Park, which you can explore on foot or by bike. One of the lakes even features a tiny island of St. Mary’s in its middle. You can settle in one of the nearby ports for the night.

If you are in Croatia, Dubrovnik is a must-visit. Dubbed the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” Dubrovnik is one of the country’s highlights with its preserved Old Town, city walls, and unique atmosphere, which also convinced the creators of the Game of Thrones to use it as one of their main filming locations.

You can always add a layer of physical activity to your visit by taking a hike (or a cable car) up the Srđ mountain and enjoying the views of the city and Lokrum Island.

Continuing your journey by slowly turning back towards Split, your sails can take you to Šipan Island, the largest Elaphiti Island. Your family can enjoy its peaceful atmosphere and scenic beaches while having an off day indulging in the joys of the Adriatic Sea. Or you can spice it up with beachside activities like volleyball, jet-ski, and more.

You will continue your exploration of the Croatian archipelago on Korčula Island, the birthplace of the famous explorer Marco Polo. His house of birth in the town of Korčula is open for visits, and you can include it in your activity plans for the day.

Similarly to Dubrovnik, Korčula traces its history back to the medieval ages, apparent in its ancient walls and bastions. But most of all, the town radiates that authentic ambiance of traditional Croatian seaside settlements, making you want to spend more than just a night there.

En route to Hvar, you can make your day’s first stop at the Paklinski islands and start the day with a morning swim on one of the secluded beaches. As the longest Croatian island, Hvar is too vast to explore in one go, but the town of Hvar is the perfect starting point.

Besides having a lively seafront with many restaurants and bars, the town offers numerous family-interesting locations, including the Španjola fortress on the hill above. Or you can opt for exploring the island on bikes, a very suitable activity given the location.

Brač Island is home to one of the most famous beaches in Europe, the Golden Horn beach (Zlatni rat in Croatian). Stretching like a horn out in the sea, it changes shape depending on wind direction. Porting in the town of Bol, you will find several fun things to do in its immediate vicinity — from surfing to kiting and other water activities. Its marina is also one of the oldest in Croatia and is just a special place to be at.

By evening, you can return to Split for the final night before you have to disembark.

After leaving your gulet, you can take the rest of the day to explore Split, Croatia’s second-largest city. Known as the birthplace of the famous Roman emperor Diocletian, you can still visit Diocletian’s palace, where he spent the final days of his life. If you want, we can organize different activities for you, whether sporty or city tours.
