STOKE AFLOAT CROATIA SAILING
Sail the islands of Croatia with Stoke Travel – we always cruise with the best crew, plus we have an open bar!
We’ll live the Croatian dream on the Adriatic Sea. During the day we’ll be swimming in crystal clear lagoons, cliff jumping from terror-inducing heights, and exploring old fortresses; by night, we’ll hit up the best bars and clubs, including Carpe Diem, DEEP, and Croatia’s biggest club Revelin, before turning around and doing it all over again, returning with blurred memories and perfect tans.
We’ll sleep on a gorgeous ship fully facilitated for fulfilling your sailing fantasies: toilets and showers, onboard chef, and a fully stocked bar. For just €15 per day you can drink all the beer and sangria that your heart desires, we don’t want to surprise you with an end-of-trip bar tab that’ll make your eyes water.
WHERE WILL WE SAIL AND WHAT WILL WE DO ALONG THE CROATIAN COAST?
Croatia boasts ancient walled cities and the highest coastal mountain range in the Mediterranean; historic islands and raging party ports; the best nightclubs in the Balkans and snorkelling; sun baking on the deck or swan diving into the ocean. If it is fun and if it is near water we’ll be doing it on Stoke Afloat Croatia sailing trips.
We will visit vineyards, national parks, and some of Croatia’s craziest clubs; docking up at Split, Hvar, Korçula, Mijet, Dubrovnik and some secrets along the way. We’ll participate in watersports and sunbaking and drinking cocktails and not doing much at all. Our Wet Wednesday banquet dinner is included and spectacular, with a traditional Croatian meal and a glass of wine in a restaurant so beautiful that you’ll think we don’t deserve it – but we most certainly do.
Sailing through Croatia’s islands and along its coast with Stoke Travel is all about good times and nice things with the best people you’re ever going to meet.
WHO’S ONBOARD STOKE AFLOAT CROATIAN SAILING TRIPS?
Don’t worry, the Stoke Crew aren’t going to be the ones sailing the ship, the Croatian family that owns and operates the boat will be in charge of that, with their generations of experience sailing these waters. We’ll have our Stoke Travel guide on board inventing historical facts, encouraging binge drinking and making sure everybody is feeling social and that the boat is one big, happy, floating family. The average number of wenches and scurvy dogs onboard is about 24, and considering that they’ve booked with Stoke Travel you can be assured that they’re going to be just about the funnest, loosest cannons getting around Europe this summer.
TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE CROATIAN SAIL BOAT
Want to see what the boat is like (the vibe and the boat itself) then make sure you keep on scrolling down to the gallery.
Our boats are traditional family-owned and operated Croatian sailing vessels and no two are the same. Beautiful and seaworthy ships of the same type have been plying the Adriatic and Dalmatian coasts – and further afield into the Mediterranean – for hundreds of years. Now they’ve simply used the traditional designs to build Croatian sailing boats specifically for accommodating, and ferrying, tourists along the Croatian shore. The cabins are comfortable, private and air-conditioned, with power outlets so you’re charged up at all times. Our yacht is the MS Maja, a category B traditional Croatian cruiser that sleeps 22 travellers in twin-share cabins. All cabins have a bunk bed, with wash basin, towel, soap, linen, power socket & pillows. Air-Con will run in the main saloon and downstairs halls, and there are common bathrooms/toilets onboard for all guests to use. Wifi is supplied on Maja along with sun chairs, general power sockets, daily swim stops (of course) and beats will be played daily.
The deck is designed for lying prostrate and praying to the sun gods (and private too – all the better for frying those eggs or giving the impossible-to-tan man’s upper thighs a workout), with the all-important designated shady areas for Scotsmen, albinos and those wanting to swill a beer and trade tales of the high seas. There are common areas for games and carrying on with the telling of tall tales, or simply pre-partying, and a fully stocked bar that’s open for beer and sangria for €15 per day extra.
SAIL THROUGH CROATIA AND CRUISE TO ULTRA FESTIVAL
Lucky sailors on our 6th – 13th July Dubrovnik to Split cruise can finish their trip at Croatia’s Ultra Music Festival, docking just in time for the festival to start on the 12th. The three-day electronic music festival features the world’s best DJs and producers, with the likes of Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Charlotte De Witte, and Zedd forming part of one of the most impressive dance music lineups ever seen. Similarly, if you want to join us on our cruise from Split to Dubrovnik from the 13th – 20th of July, you can start your Croatian trip with a bang by hitting Ultra. We don’t include tickets to Ultra, but you can book your one-day ticket HERE.
Check your itinerary to make sure you book the right days that line up with your cruise, and that you’ll be back on board in time for any departures! If you don’t have a ticket you will be able to enjoy Split for the day.
LOT’S OF STUFF TO DO…
This is a sample Itinerary for what you’ll be getting up to on the SPLIT TO DUBROVNIK package.
* This is based on our 2024 itinerary – some changes to the schedule will be made depending on availability in the 2025 season. All docking locations and timing is subject to change depending on weather conditions and port availability.
The day prior to departure, your guide will add you to a group chat with your fellow shipmates! Here we’ll give definite check-in details.
Day OneSplit
Welcome aboard!
Check in at 12 noon, before the first voyage, and when the boat is ready for us we’ll get onboard , get a welcome drink and a speech about the crew, ship rules and a general rundown of itinerary. The afternoon is yours to explore, whether it be the Diocletian Palace, which is 1700 years old, HNK Hajduk Split Stadium, the famous Marijan hill, from where you can see the whole town and island. Or just relax on your new floating home. We’ll have a family welcome dinner either on board or at a local restaurant, to pad our stomachs before the first big night out! The party starts onboard (enjoy that free booze) and moves to Charlie’s Backpacker’s Bar, before continuing to an open air club near the port.
Day TwoOmiš/Makarska
Day 2: Omiš/Makarska
We leave Split early in the morning and head toward Omis for some fun – opting for either ziplining across 8 cables up to 150m up, or rafting down the river Cetina. We’ll arrive early afternoon in Makarska, with ample time for exploring or adventuring, stopping for a swim along the way. Take in the coastline from a rented Kayak, or oil yourself up to slide around the inflatable waterpark! Get a good feed in ya’ for the big night ahead in Makarska at a cave bar!
Day 3Stari Grad
Day 3: Stari Grad
This morning we set sail to Stari Grad, with a swim stop along the way of course. Arriving mid-afternoon there is time to throw yourself off some cliffs, swim in the bay or even get your junk out at a nudist beach, whatever floats your boat. This night is reserved for an amazing Eco Farm dinner and wine night, taking in stellar views and getting adequately sloshed.
Day 4Hvar
Day 4: Hvar
We arrive in Hvar for lunchtime, but it’s impossible to go to harbour till about 19:00. The boat will be anchored offshore at a relaxing swim location and we will take a taxi boat into town and head up to the Spanjola fortress for a beautiful view before heading down for some beach time or seaside cocktails. We could take it chill and take a dip at Hula Hula Beach Club, and maybe later that night head to explore an alleyway of bars starting at Kiva bar, or head to SEVEN bar for welcome shots and a fire show. Either way, all roads lead to an all-night party at Carpe Diem, the famed techno club based on the island just in front of the harbour.
Day 5Korčula
Day 5: Korčula
We’ll arrive in Korčula harbour around 3pm, giving us enough time to visit the disputed house of Marco Polo and explore old town, or chill out on the ship’s sun deck, before perhaps heading to a dinner on Tramonto’s terrace, overlooking Korčula’s harbour. To start the party, we’ll head to Deja Vu, an outdoor bar run by “Crazy Niki,” before continuing on to Dos Locos, where you can show off your hidden talents on the stripper poles, and if that still isn’t enough you can head for a boogie at Jungle afterwards.
Day 6National Park Mljet
Day 6: National Park Mljet
Early departure to one of the seven National parks in Croatia, the island of Mljet, with a swim stop along the way. We’ll take an afternoon to stroll along the lakes on the island, swim in the saltwater lakes or even hire a scooter. The popular choice, and highlight of most people’s trips, is bombing off some cliffs and venturing to a hidden caves and grottos. Later we’ll drop the anchor offshore, have dinner on board and kickstart our party! Tonight the party doesn’t stop until the last man goes to bed, blast that music, drink the bar dry and even jump in for a skinny dip!
Day 7Dubrovnik
Day 7: Dubrovnik Pearl of the Adriatic
We’ll arrive in Dubrovnik around lunch time, so that you have all day to explore the old town and jump from the famous cliffs outside of the old city walls. The afternoon is your own, walk around the old town city walls, take a Game of Thrones tour, or rent a kayak to take it all in from the sea. A farewell dinner with your new family tonight, and then go on to what is famed as one of the best disco bars in Croatia, the Culture Club, Revelin, situated in a fortress in the walls of old town.
Day 8Depature
Day 8: Dubrovnik
It’s an early breakfast, and then unfortunately, it’s time to say goodbye until our next grand voyage together. You’ll disembark at 8:30am
Sad, but happy, but also sad.
CROATIA OF COURSE!
Two options: Split to Dubrovnik or Dubrovnik to Split. Our routes around the Adriatic depend on the weather and we go where the wind blows!
Meeting point:
Your guide will be there to meet you at 11:00am the day of departure. The exact location will be emailed to you a few weeks prior.
GETTING TO CROATIA
Fly to us
The best way to do it is to fly into the small and wonderful Split Airport, also known as Resnik it is a small international airport only has one runway and one terminal, so pretty easy to find your way around. Stoke likes to fly with Easyjet or Vueling, or whoever else is looking the cheapest on Skyscanner.
If your cruise is going in the other direction, Dubrovnik also has an airport that is easy to navigate and cheap to fly into.
Bus
There are direct Airport Buses that go to Split Main Bus station they take 30-40 minutes and cost around €4. From there hop in a taxi to the boat.
Or buses from Split to Dubrovnikw https://getbybus.com/
Or buses from Dubrovnik airport to the bus station (which is close to the port) https://www.arriva.com.hr/en-us/dubrovnik-airport
Taxi
To locate the Taxi rank you leave the arrivals Hall via the main exit and just outside is the queue for the taxis. To get to the city centre it costs around 300 Kuna.

Stoke Afloat was one of the best weeks of my life. Could not have asked for a better tour leader (Olivia) and crew on the boat. It was great value for the money and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Did Stoke Afloat Croatia two weeks ago, was the most fun you could have in a week with the best crew. Live was great. 100% would do again.
Awesome week with Stoke Travel and people. Highly recommend especially with unlimited beer and sangria as no other sail company offers this.
If you say boat party you say Stoke Pirate Cruise! Never had a better boat party in my life (and I have had many)! Loved it!
Great party, the best music and amazing people! If I’m still in Europe next summer I’ll definitely get “on board” that again!
Waking up in the early afternoon to a cold beer and being able to smash as many as we like that day for just €10 was just magnificent. The other boats were so envious of us! Best staff in a long time.
Some of the most amazing, loosest maggots on board that I would now consider to be some of my closest friends in the world. Thanks a lot for this great experience.
