DAY SAILING ROUTE 2 |
7 days sailing route
along Dalmatian coast (route 2)
If
you are planning a one week sailing holiday,
you can try this route. We tried to include
all interesting and beautiful places in
this route.
Of
course, one week is to short to see everything,
so there will be places for you left
to see when you came back.
Route highlights:
Necujam
(Island of Šolta) - Rogoznica - Žirje
- Kornati archipelago - Primošten
- Split
|
| Day 1 |
|
Start
out from Necujam on the island of Šolta
(about 9 miles from Split). You can anchor
the boat in the middle of the bay or on one
of the knots on the sea front by all the
other boats. At the end of the bay of Necujam
there are two smaller bays, Piskera and Maslinica,
both worth visiting. But, be careful in the
bay of Piskera. On the bottom of the sea
there are the remains of the Diokletian’s
old stone fish pond, which have been there
for the last seven centuries. They used to
be well above the surface of the sea, but
are now about a meter and a half underneath
and can constitute something of a hazard.

| Day 2 |
 |
After
a good night’s sleep and a morning
coffee, set your sails and head towards
Rogoznica. Rogoznica
- FRAPA marina: On the way to Rogoznica take
the route along the south side of the island
of Šolta towards the bay of Krnjasi
on the island of Veliki Drvenik. Two islands,
Veliki and Mali Krnjaš form an amazing
Lagoon in the bay and it is ideal for swimming.
The bay is well protected from the north
winds, and the bottom of the sea is sandy.
While in the lagoon it is important to monitor
the depth of the sea carefully as it is often
no more than few meters deep. After arriving
in the bay of Rogoznica we recommend anchoring
at Ražanj, the small fishing village
on the south side. There is also the famous
FRAPA marina in Rogoznica itself. It is said
to be one of the most beautiful marinas on
the Adriatic, with excellent facilities and
good restaurants. |
| While
here be sure to go and see the Zmajevo Oko
(the Dragon Eye), the famous sea water lake,
just a couple of hundred meters behind the
marina. |
| Day 3 |
Leave
Rogoznica today and head for the island of Žirje,
where, according to legend, the Ilyrian’s
Queen Teuta had her harbour. You should be
sailing to the bay of Stupica Vela, which
is around 15 Nautical miles from Rogoznica.
The bay is protected from all winds except
the Jugo (the south wind). You can anchor
on the sandy bottom of the sea or on one
of the buoys.
|
| Day 4 |
|
Sail
on along the south side of the island of
Zirje towards the famous national park – Kornati.
On the way from Zirje, the first big island
you will pass is Kurba Vela. Leave it to
the north. Here, watch out for the rock about
200m north-west of the island of Mali Garmenjak.
The Kornati archipelago is full of this kind
of hazard – small rocks in the sea,
or unexpected shallows, so we highly recommend
sailing under the instructions of the Kornati
islands Nautical Charts. |
| Continue
sailing towards the Kornati channel past
the islands of Kameni Zakan and Ravni Zakan
where you will find excellent places to swim.
You can continue sailing toward the Piskera
marina, if you want to spend the night in
one of the ACI marinas. Alternatively, if
you prefer something a little more remote
you could anchor in Lavsa. |
| Day 5 |
Kornati
archipelago - ACI marina Piškera: Today
you can start to sail through the astonishingly
beautiful Kornati islands. However, to enter
the national park you will have to buy a
ticket. There are innumerable little bays
for swimming, and beautiful landscapes.
Your aim should be: first the bay of Telašcica on Dugi Otok, and then
the bay of Mir where you will find an amazing lake, very nice for swimming
in.Towards the evening you should be sailing back to the bay of Vruja,
the biggest inhabited place in the Kornati Archipelago. You can anchor
the boat in the middle of the bay. At the end of the bay there is very
well known family restaurant, famous for its seafood specialities.

This
is the penultimate day, and there is a long
journey ahead of you. You will be sailing
towards Primosten. The rout you should be
taking is – through the Kornati Archipelago,
towards the islands of Kakan and Kapri (there
are some good spots for swimming around there)
and then on to Primosten.

Town
of Primošten: The old part of the town
of Primošten was built on the little
island, attached to the main land. It is
still surrounded with the city walls. The
new part of Primošten stretches along
the coast, just off the island.It is safe
to anchor the boat on one of the knots in
a little harbour on the island, as it is
well protected from any kind of bad weather.

| Day 7 |

The
last day of your journey will take you back
towards Split. On the way to Split, there
are a few little bays worth visiting on the
islands of Drvenik and Šolta (the bay
of Maslinica on Šolta is particularly
worth visiting).
Split - ACI marina: In the evening
you should be anchoring your boat in Split ACI
marina, the same marina from where you set out.
We recommend spending your evening looking around
the old town of Split. We do hope that you will
be satisfied with our choice of route and we
