What to see, day by day.

Three easy nights, three calm islands, the perfect first taste of chartering or a long birthday weekend. Short hops, sandy bays and konoba dinners, never more than a couple of hours from base.

Day 1
Pirovac → Murter (Slanica)
Afternoon board, short sail to Murter · ~10 nm · ~2 hrs
An easy start, board in the afternoon, a relaxed briefing, then a short sail to Murter’s sandy Slanica bay for a first swim. Dinner ashore in Murter town, and your first quiet night at anchor.
10 nm
First swim
Day 2
Murter → Žut
Murter → Žut, Kornati gateway · ~14 nm · ~3 hrs
A proper little sail west to Žut, the doorway to the Kornati. Free moorings if you eat at the bay’s restaurant, clear water to swim in, and a twenty-minute ridge walk for a sunset the whole crew will photograph.
14 nm
Restaurant mooring
Day 3
Žut → Kaprije
Žut → Kaprije · ~12 nm · ~2.5 hrs
Drift down to sleepy Kaprije, fifty inhabitants, no cars, two konobas. Anchor in the bay or take the village mooring and eat fish under the fig trees at Konoba Mareta. The most peaceful night of the trip.
12 nm
Fig-tree konoba
Day 4
Kaprije → Pirovac
Kaprije → Pirovac · ~12 nm · ~2.5 hrs
One last morning swim, then a gentle reach back to base for late morning. Plenty of time to pack, settle up and still make an afternoon onward journey, or simply linger over a final coffee on the dock.
