Trip Summary
Eight days on the Dalmatian coast aboard Riva — a 48-metre private yacht with 17 cabins, a crew of 11, and the freedom of the Adriatic. Split is where you board, and Dubrovnik is where you end, with everything extraordinary in between: Hvar's crystal water and lavender-scented hills, the Blue Cave on Biševo where sunlight refracts through the sea floor in electric blue, Korčula's medieval walled town, Mljet's saltwater lakes and 12th-century Benedictine monastery, the Elafiti Islands, and the UNESCO-listed walls of Dubrovnik at the end. Each morning you wake to a new stretch of coastline. Two gourmet meals a day from the onboard chef. Jet ski, paddleboards, kayaks, and snorkelling gear are on hand throughout. Port taxes and VAT are covered. The yacht is yours and yours alone.
