09:00
Departing from Makarska
We leave Makarska and head south toward the Pelješac channel, with the morning still calm and the route ahead opening gradually into a more remote, more spacious Adriatic day. The pace is private, flexible and shaped around sea conditions from the very beginning.

09:45
Lovište Hidden Bay — Pelješac
The first stop is a beautiful hidden bay near Lovište, framed by untouched nature and shimmering turquoise sea. It is the kind of place that instantly slows everything down — peaceful, secluded, and far removed from the ordinary.

Why is this stop such a highlight? The sea around Lovište is among the bluest and most turquoise waters you can find in our part of the Adriatic — one of those places that instantly feels unreal once you see it from the boat.
It is definitely one of the must-see stops and one of the true visual highlights of this entire route, loved for its crystal clarity, calm anchorage and striking natural beauty.
Be sure to take your snorkels and make the most of it — this is exactly the kind of bay where you will want to stay in the water as long as possible.
11:00
Island Badija
A softer, more curious stop — known for its deer, monastery setting and gentle island atmosphere. You can stretch your legs, look for the deer and, if you feel like it, fit in a relaxed swim before the route turns back toward Hvar.

What makes Badija special? It adds a completely different note to the day — calmer, greener and more playful than the historic core of Korčula Town.
Guests often love this stop because it feels unexpected: a quiet island pause where the search for deer becomes part of the memory.
It works especially well after lunch — not too intense, just atmospheric.
12:30
Town Korčula — Island Korčula
Often associated with the story of Marco Polo, Korčula Town is one of the Adriatic’s most elegant historic centres — compact, atmospheric and easy to enjoy at your own pace. Stone lanes, sea views and a far more refined rhythm than many busier coastal stops make this the natural centrepiece of the day.

Why does Korčula feel different? Because it combines heritage, sea-facing beauty and a more intimate scale. It feels prestigious without becoming overwhelming.
Many guests enjoy it precisely because it offers a historic old town experience that feels polished and easy to absorb in a relatively short stop.
For lunch, Filippi suits the tone of this route especially well — more refined, more waterfront and more aligned with the premium mood of the day.
Wander the streets, enjoy lunch slowly, then continue the route without rushing.
15:00
Beach Mlaska — Island Hvar
A completely different kind of swim stop — Mlaska is one of the rare sandy bays in our part of the Adriatic, known for its remarkably shallow, crystal-clear water where you can keep walking surprisingly far from shore. Softer underfoot, calmer in mood and framed by pine-covered slopes, it brings a lighter, more relaxed texture to the route — and easily becomes one of the most unexpected highlights of the day.

16:00
Mala Pogorila Hidden Bay — Island Hvar
An optional late-afternoon stop, shaped by how long you choose to linger at the earlier highlights of the route. Mala Pogorila offers a quieter, more understated side of Hvar — a beautifully clear bay with an effortless sense of privacy, where the atmosphere feels less like a scheduled stop and more like a final, well-earned pause by the sea.

What makes Mala Pogorila special? It belongs to that quieter, less polished side of Hvar that many guests end up loving most — no beach club scene, no distractions, just clear Adriatic water, open views and a bay that feels intentionally simple.
One of its nicest qualities is exactly that sense of space: although it is easier to reach than some completely wild coves, it still keeps a peaceful, low-key character that makes it ideal for a final optional swim.
Think of it as a graceful bonus rather than a fixed stop — the kind of place we include when timing, sea conditions and the mood of the day all align beautifully.
17:30–18:00
Return to Makarska
Quick refuel stop, then back to the harbour — with Korčula behind you and one of the Adriatic’s most varied private day routes completed in a single, elegant arc.
