Compared to other Adriatic islands, Vis is rather unique. Being an important strategic military stronghold for centuries, Vis was spared the excessive tourist development and thus retained its unspoilt beaches, ecological agriculture and traditional architecture.

We'll start our day with a morning cruise towards Island of Bisevo and its Blue Cave. Originally, the entrance to Blue Cave was located below sea level, which required visitors to dive deeply in order to resurface into the cave’s mysterious blue depths. Now we enter the cave in a small boat through a small entrance. However, if the sea is choppy we cannot enter the Blue Cave, which is something we shall not know before the morning designated for our visit. For this reason, entrance fees are paid on the spot.

After a swim stop and lunch on board, we'll continue cruising along many idyllic coves and bays towards Hvar, the sunniest Croatian island. Hvar is one of the most popular and attractive Croatian tourist destinations and a meeting point of the international jet set. Upon our afternoon arrival at Hvar, a local English-speaking guide will walk you through the town, introducing you to the island’s way of life, its rich history and culture. Afterwards, you'll be free to enjoy your evening in Hvar, to explore on your own and dine in one of its numerous family-owned restaurants or taverns. Overnight in Hvar Historical Town, (B, L)

After lunch we’ll continue cruising towards Pucisca, with refreshing swim stops en route and lunch served on board. Pucisca is the biggest village on the island of Brac. Nowhere in the system of towns and villages in Dalmatia does terrain play such a compelling role as in Pucisca. Its spectacular irregularity of steep-sided natural harbour, authentic Mediterranean architecture and rustic ambience are simply unforgettable.

Pucisca is also home to the only Croatian Stonemasonry school. Its students carve sculptures from Brac limestone, applying traditional and unconventional tools that have been used here for centuries. We shall spend a night in this very quiet town. Enjoy the nightfall, as it unifies the distinct features of Pucisca that have intrigued us so much in daylight. This evening, we will have Captain’s dinner on board. Overnight in Pucisca, (B, L, Captain’s dinner)
