Day by day
Preliminary itinerary
Explore untouched nature and visit ancient cities on the islands throughout the Kvarner Gulf.
Day 1 | Saturday
Port of Rijeka, or meeting at the airport to transfer to the marina
Yacht check-in and settling in after 16:00. Before, you can visit a town, sign a booking contract at the chartering company office, and do provisioning. You will also get to know the crew and receive a safety briefing before setting sail.Rijeka - Krk Town (14 nm)
Navigate past Rijeka's bustling port toward your first destination—Krk Island. Pass under the impressive Krk Bridge and dock in the historic Krk Town. Evening strolls through narrow medieval streets reveal centuries of history in every stone. Must-sees: 12th-century cathedral and Frankopan Castle.
Day 2 | Sunday
Krk Town - Cres Town (12 nm)
Morning sail brings you to Cres, where time seems to stand still. The island has uncountable secluded beaches with sun-bleached round pebbles, a stone labyrinth in Beli, and a sanctuary for rare griffon vultures.
The evening you will spend in the town of Cres itself, where after a walk through the historic city with its diverse architectural details, you can stop for dinner at an authentic local restaurant, Riva, or dine on board.
Day 3 | Monday
Cres town - Osor - Mali Lošinj (23 nm)
Our journey will take us along the enchanting coastline, making delightful stops for swimming. Later, we'll arrive in Osor. Nestled between the islands of Cres and Losinj, Osor's streets exude an undisturbed sense of tranquility that feels like an idyllic dream on a scorching summer day.
Follow the western coast of Cres to reach the "Island of Vitality"—Mali Lošinj. Known for its healing climate and resident dolphins, this former shipbuilding town charms with colorful captain's villas and aromatic gardens. It is a perfect spot for sunset dining.
Day 4 | Tuesday
Mali Lošinj - Susak (13 nm)
Susak is famous for its diving possibilities and is widely considered one of the best destinations in Europe. Underwater reefs and shipwrecks make the island fascinating for swimmers and divers.
Size-wise, it is a tiny island, yet its large sandy beach makes up for this space limitation. On the way to the top, you will pass numerous vineyards and a bamboo grove overlooking a stunning assemblage of orange roofs and the turquoise sea. The old town is authentic; you can spend hours looking at the colorful facades and quirky details.
Day 5 | Wednesday
Susak - Unije (4 nm)
It is a perfect place for a tranquil break before the next journey between the islands of Kvarner. On this small island with its friendly and sparse population, you'll find two lighthouses, a handful of restaurants, a bakery, a couple of shops, and a post office.
The Croatian concept of 'pomalo' (meaning 'without rush') takes on special significance here: after a leisurely walk or bike ride past olive groves, and with a view of intricate coves, it's delightful to sit atop a hill and spot your anchored yacht.
Day 6 | Thursday
Unije - Opatija (23 nm)
Return north to elegant Opatija, the "Nice of the Adriatic." Walk the famous Lungomare promenade past grand villas and luxurious hotels. A posh 19th-century resort, once popular with Austro-Hungarian royal family members and their court, and opulent Habsburg-era villas are connected with a promenade along the 12-kilometer coast. The town is nestled at the bottom of Mount Učka, where the Istria and Kvarner regions meet and form a balanced landscape for marine and onshore activities. Enjoy spectacular sunset views of Kvarner Bay from your mooring.
Day 7 | Friday
Opatija - Rijeka
Your final sailing day offers flexibility and several attractive options depending on the weather or your wishes. One of them is to follow the scenic Opatija Riviera coastline, making stops at picturesque bays and historic towns, or take a day trip to Cres Island.
When returning to Rijeka, you should refuel and water the boat. Before 6 PM, you'll be at the charter base to check out.
Later, you can stay in Rijeka and explore Croatia's principal seaport with its Habsburg-era architecture and vibrant city center, or Opatija. Both places offer excellent restaurants for a memorable farewell dinner to conclude your sailing adventure.
