At Ease in the adriatic:
A Private Yacht Journey Along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast

Privately chartered. Distinctly Croatian.

Croatia, at our own pace.

For seven nights, the entire yacht will be reserved for our group as we travel from Šibenik to Dubrovnik through the islands, hidden coves and waterfront towns of Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast. With fewer than 40 guests onboard, the experience will feel private, relaxed and personal from the moment we arrive. The yacht will be our home throughout the journey, with comfortable ensuite cabins, inviting dining and lounge spaces, expansive sun decks, a hot tub and direct access to the Adriatic from the swim platform. There will be plenty of space to gather with the group, enjoy the view or find a quiet place to relax. Most mornings will begin with breakfast onboard as we cruise toward the day’s destination. Along the way, we’ll stop in clear, secluded coves for swimming and time on the water, followed by leisurely multicourse lunches prepared onboard. Rather than arriving with thousands of other passengers for only a few hours, we’ll reach many of our destinations in the afternoon and remain into the evening or overnight. That gives us time to wander through historic streets, enjoy dinner along the waterfront, experience the local nightlife and see each town after the daytime crowds begin to leave. The result is a week that balances the comfort and service of a private yacht with the freedom to experience Croatia beyond the shoreline. Each day will bring a different combination of cruising, swimming, dining and exploring, with the Adriatic always at the center of the journey.

What Sets This Experience Apart?

A closer connection to Croatia

Rooted in the Adriatic

Lastavica Cruising is owned and operated by the Stančić family, whose experience with tourism on the Adriatic spans more than 50 years. What began with local day cruises has grown into a family-run fleet known for personal service, thoughtful hospitality and a deep connection to Dalmatia.

Over the years, the family has developed friendships with local winemakers, artisans, cheesemakers and food producers. Those relationships are reflected throughout the experience, giving us a more genuine introduction to Croatia than we would receive from an international cruise line simply calling at its ports.

An itinerary created for us

Traditional cruise itineraries are designed to be repeated week after week, often limiting guests to a few scheduled hours in each destination. A private charter gives us considerably more freedom to shape the journey around our group.

Our route can combine historic cities, smaller waterfront towns, secluded swimming coves and destinations with lively evenings. We can plan late departures and overnight stays where additional time matters, while adjusting the daily rhythm around sightseeing, meals and activities. The final itinerary will be developed with the captain and local team, with safety, weather and port conditions always guiding the journey.

cuisine worth slowing down for

Meals onboard are an important part of the experience, not simply something included in the fare. Lastavica Cruising’s culinary team received the 2025 Travel Weekly Gold Magellan Award for Best Cuisine, recognizing its commitment to Croatian flavors, quality ingredients and thoughtfully prepared menus.

Our week will include daily breakfast, six multicourse lunches and a Captain’s Dinner. Meals can also be coordinated with our itinerary, allowing us to enjoy lunch onboard most days while leaving our evenings open to discover restaurants ashore.

Thoughtfully Designed for Life at Sea

Custom-built in Croatia, Lastavica and Swallow were developed by naval designers under the Stančić family’s close supervision, incorporating Captain Igor Stančić’s ideas and decades of experience on the Adriatic.

The yachts feature a spacious outdoor dining area, comfortable lounges, expansive sun decks, a hot tub, sauna, swim platform, water slide, water toys, and movie nights under the stars.

Each vessel accommodates up to 36 guests in 18 comfortable, tastefully decorated cabins located across the main and lower decks. Most cabins can be arranged with either one double bed or two twin beds, providing flexibility for couples, friends, and solo travelers.

Cabins range from approximately 130 to 187 square feet and include a private bathroom, individually controlled air conditioning, soundproofing, television, writing desk, safe, hair dryer, wardrobe, and under-bed luggage storage.

Photos, video, and amenities shown represent Lastavica and Swallow. Final vessel assignment and cabin selection remain subject to written charter confirmation.

Where the Adriatic May Take Us

  • Šibenik

    Our journey begins in Šibenik, a historic coastal city known for its stone lanes, waterfront promenade, and impressive fortresses. At its heart stands the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James, built entirely from stone and surrounded by a beautifully preserved old town that feels distinctly Croatian.

  • Skradin & Krka National Park

    Set along the Krka River, Skradin is a colorful waterfront town filled with stone streets, local restaurants, and a peaceful marina. It also serves as a gateway to Krka National Park, known for its forested trails, historic watermills, and spectacular waterfalls.

  • Primosten

    Once an island connected to the mainland by a drawbridge, Primošten is now a picturesque peninsula known for its stone old town, waterfront promenade, and beautiful pebble beaches. The surrounding hills are covered with vineyards producing Babić, one of Croatia’s distinctive red wines.

  • Hvar

    Elegant, energetic, and unapologetically social, Hvar combines Venetian architecture, waterfront restaurants, beach clubs, and lively nightlife. It is one of Croatia’s most celebrated island destinations and an ideal place for guests who want a memorable evening ashore.

  • Stari Grad

    Founded in 384 BC, Stari Grad is one of Europe’s oldest towns. Its stone lanes, bougainvillea-covered homes, quiet squares, and waterfront cafés offer a relaxed alternative to Hvar Town. Nearby, the UNESCO-listed Stari Grad Plain preserves an agricultural landscape cultivated for more than 2,000 years.

  • Bol & Zlatni Rat

    Bol is best known for Zlatni Rat, the distinctive pebble beach that changes shape with the wind and currents. Beyond the beach, this seaside town offers a charming waterfront, historic stone buildings, local wineries, and dramatic views toward Vidova Gora, the highest point among Croatia’s Adriatic islands.

  • Korčula

    Milna

    Set around a sheltered natural harbor on the island of Brač, Milna offers stone architecture, waterfront dining, and an easygoing local atmosphere. It is the kind of peaceful harbor that feels especially well suited to a privately chartered yacht.

  • Korčula

    Surrounded by medieval walls, Korčula Town is a maze of narrow stone streets, historic buildings, and waterfront restaurants. Beyond the old town, the island is known for its pine forests, traditional villages, cultural festivals, and indigenous grape varieties, including Pošip and Grk.

  • Pomena & Mljet National Park

    Set beside a sheltered harbor on the island of Mljet, Pomena is a peaceful fishing village and gateway to Mljet National Park. Guests can explore pine-lined trails, cycle around the park’s saltwater lakes, swim in clear water, or settle into a waterfront restaurant and enjoy the island’s unhurried atmosphere.

  • Dubrovnik

    Dubrovnik

    Our journey concludes in Dubrovnik, where medieval walls, limestone streets, and terracotta rooftops overlook the Adriatic. Guests can walk the historic city walls, explore the UNESCO-listed Old Town, visit its forts and churches, or enjoy cafés and restaurants along the Stradun before continuing their Croatian adventure.
