When it comes to experiencing the true magic of the Croatian coast, nothing quite compares to looking at it from the deck of a boat. We recently embarked on a 5-day sailing journey that took us through the absolute highlights of Central Dalmatia: Trogir, Drvenik, Šolta, Brač, and Hvar. It was a trip filled with hidden turquoise bays, historic towns, and a level of comfort that completely redefined what a holiday at sea means to us.
A Rare Concept: Sailing Made Accessible to All
Before we dive into the details of our route, there is one very unique thing you need to know about More Sailing. Most charter companies in Croatia only allow you to rent an entire boat, which can be both challenging to organize and expensive if you are traveling solo or as a couple.
More Sailing does things differently. They offer the rare opportunity to book individual cabins (places) on a yacht. This brilliant concept stems from the founder’s own experience 15 years ago, when a planned 1-week family sailing trip in Croatia unexpectedly turned into a 7-week love affair with the Adriatic. Driven by the wish to make sailing trips accessible to everyone—not just large groups or seasoned sailors—they have created a way for anyone to experience the open sea.

Life On Board: Ultimate Comfort and Five-Star Vibes
If you think sailing means cramped spaces and roughing it, our experience proved the exact opposite. From the moment we stepped on board, we were blown away by how incredibly comfortable and spacious the boat felt.
Our cabin was cozy and beautifully designed, and the boat’s stability meant we could barely feel the rolling of the waves. There was more than enough room for everyone on board to find their own perfect spot—whether that meant relaxing in the indoor lounge area or claiming a prime spot on the spacious sun deck at the bow to soak up the golden Dalmatian sun. Plus, having multiple refrigerators on board meant a refreshing, cold drink was always within arm’s reach.
Our days followed a blissful, relaxed rhythm. Every morning started with soft, gentle music playing through the speakers to wake us up and announce that breakfast was ready.

But the real magic of the crew? Our skippers double as incredible chefs. The food on board was absolutely phenomenal—everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and far from ordinary boat meals. To top it all off, the skippers are incredibly generous with their knowledge. If you feel like getting hands-on, they will happily let you take the helm and try your hand at navigating the boat!
📌 Planning Your Trip?
While we opted for a shorter 5-day itinerary, please note that most standard More Sailing tours last for 8 days (7 nights). These full-week itineraries offer an even deeper exploration of the Adriatic and typically include a visit to the stunning, remote island of Vis—famous for its wild nature and the mesmerizing Blue Cave.
