welcome to split!
You're in Croatia's second largest city! Fly into Split Airport and we'll meet you there before transferring you to our very own sailboat. Your home for the next 8 days! Let's kick start this European sail-venture! Split is a vibrant and lively city, so take a look around! Arrive any time (earlier the better of course!) Then settle down into your cabin, explore the boat, unpack and start exploring. In the evening we dine on board together for our welcome dinner as new TruFam. Get to know your new fellow sailors whilst sitting back and enjoying a well deserved cocktail. You're on holiday after all.

hvar town’s spanish fortress & beach club
Fast becoming one of Europe's hottest places to be right now is Hvar. Hvar is known to be one of the most stunning islands in all of Croatia. Along the way, we stop for a swim to cool off. Once there, hike up the zig-zag path to the Spanish Fortress, an unbelievable viewpoint perched high on a hill overlooking terracotta rooftops and the turquoise blue colours of the marina. Our next steps are up to you! You can visit some of Hvar's famous beach clubs, wander through the mini markets (full of jewelry, lavender produce and other Croatian treats) or explore the islands shore line! In the evening we'll head back to the boat, get ready for the evening and then head out for some dinner! Then you can have an early night, visit some of the gorgeous bars in Hvar, or just take advantage of the start gazing on the top of the boat and get to know your new best friends. The night is ours for the taking!
mljet national park views!
Are you ready to go off the beaten track? Let's do this! This morning we cruise towards Mljet Island located in the Elaphite Islands. With less than 1000 inhabitants it's pristine and beautiful. We'll head to Mljet National Park, a hidden gem of Croatia. It's scenic, it's beautiful, a nature lover's paradise. Swim in the crystal clear waters and walk through the emerald green forest. Is this a dream? It sure damn feels like it! 10/10 ultimate zen vibes. Explore Mljet National Park by bike, as we head to the church and monastery of the island. After an epic day, you have the option to join in for the captain's dinner. A 4-course meal hosted by your very own el captain & crew (additional costing). What's better than dining as the sun goes down after a wild day with your TruFam.
we're going to dubrovnik!
Dubrovnik is THE place to be, THE most famous place in Croatia that is. Not only is it a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but you may also recognise it as King's Landing (hey Game of Thrones fans). Dubrovnik oozes history, style and class. The city by day is any traveller's dream destination and by night? It's amazing too! We sail in with dreamy views of the scenic coast before have some lunch onboard, dock up and spend the afternoon visiting the Dubrovnik walls together as TruFam. After some exploring, you'll have free afternoon to do whatever you fancy. We'll even treat you to a free city pass for the day that includes entry to museums and so much more! We recommend checking out the amazing views from the city walls! In the evening, we venture out into this magical town. Again if nice bars are your vibe there's plenty, there's some awesome clubs too! The best bit...the boat is only a stones throw away if you fancy chilling out on the boat and getting your beauty sleep for tomorrow.
korcula is calling!
Wake up and Seas the day! After breakfast, we sail to Korcula, Croatia's little hidden secret. Luckily for you, we've got the inside scoop as we are here for the next EPIC 24 hours. With maze-like streets, sunset bars and endless ice cream spots, it's easy to see why it's on everyone's bucket list. Will this be the highlight of your trip? We'll let you decide that. If you're looking for good vibes, rich European culture and 10/10 delicious red wine, you're in the right place. Spend the day exploring the town and city walls and its incredible culture. In the evening we'll head out for a persona Tru favourite...Wine tasting! Sample delicious local wines and learn about how they are made and what pairs best with them! A Tru-ly incredible experience.
floatilla swim stop!!!
We leave Korcula in the morning and head to our next spot, Makarska! Along the way, we stop for a swim, our TruExclusive. We're having our very own TruFloatilla! Grab the inflatable unicorns and flamingos, pour out the prosecco as we spend the day hosting our very own boat party. Float the day away, bubbly in hand as you drift in the crystal clear waters. The ultimate summer dream. After this dreamy few hours we sail on to Makarska where we'll dock overnight. Head out for dinner as TruFam and see where the night takes us. Makarska is full of hidden bars and secret restaurants. Famously a sea cave turned disco. Cool right? You know where to find us...
omis beach day!
Today we set sail from Makarska to Omis for one last beach day! Melt away your problems laying on the open deck before we stop at the ultimate insta hotspot of Omis beach for one last swim and dip. Spend the day, tanning away, hopping around for last minute souvenirs or hike to the top of the viewpoint before we set sail for Split in the evening. The approach to the Split Riviera is nothing short of breathtaking. Full of restaurants and quirky cafes, Split is the perfect destination to round off our epic SailVenture. We'll then head out for a walking tour of the city before watching the burnt orange sunset and heading for a final evening out as a group! It's been an amazing week so let's reminisce and get some final group photos!
