Day 01

An hour and 45-minute cruise will get you to our first stop - Paklinski Islands, a beautiful archipelago opposite Town Hvar. Some of the islands are pretty popular, while others are calmer. You can communicate with your skipper which of the island/s you want to visit. He can recommend beautiful tranquil coves that are great for swimming and enjoying the calm. If you prefer a more upbeat experience, you can enjoy your time at one of the lively beach bars.A short 10 to 15-minute cruise will get us to our next stop, Town Hvar. Our skipper will drop you off at Hvar marina, where you will have plenty of free time. You can stroll around Hvar's numerous small winding streets, have lunch, go swimming, or visit the 15th-century Fortica fortress and enjoy the impressive panoramic view of Hvar town and the Paklinski Islands archipelago.Our last stop is approximately 50 minutes away from Hvar. The Golden Horn beach (or Golden Cape) on Brac island is one of the most famous beaches on the Adriatic. Golden Horn is a beautiful pebble beach protruding almost half a kilometer into the turquoise sea in a V-shape. What makes this beach unique is its shape which visibly changes depending on the direction of the wind and tidal movement. There you will have free time to swim, snorkel and sunbathe.
