step 01
Day 1: Skradin - Primošten (21 nautical miles)
Depart on your 7-day sailing holiday from ACI Marina Skradin. It is the perfect starting place for a week-long sailing itinerary, with plentiful amenities. Sail the Dalmatian coast towards the town of Primošten and its picturesque peninsula. As you approach Primošten, its white limestone houses with red-tiled roofs will be visible in the distance. Anchor or moor in one of the secluded bays or berth in the marina. Step off your boat and explore the town's ancient churches, including the 15th-century Church of St George. We highly recommend a visit to the Bucavac stone-laced vineyards, an illusion of "stone lace" wrapped around vines from Bucavac hill to the deep blue Adriatic Sea. Relax on Mala Raduča Beach, one of the best beaches in Croatia, to end the first day of your yacht charter.

Conclude our sailing itinerary with a return journey to Skradin. Don't forget to tidy the boat before you complete final check out! Do not miss the chance to visit Krka National Park.
