Check-in at 15:00 in Rodi Garganico and step on board - your adventure officially begins. As the yacht cuts through the Adriatic, leave the coast behind and get in the zone for the week ahead. After 3-4 hours of sailing, you’ll drop anchor at Palagruža, a wild, remote island where silence, stars, and open sea set the mood for what’s coming.
Wake up to your first sunrise in the wild and hit the trail early - Palagruža’s terrain is short but sharp, perfect to shake off the travel and kick things off. After brunch, the yacht takes you on an 8-9 hour crossing to Lastovo. Once ashore, get moving again with a quick hike or sunset run on this untouched, off-the-grid island. New country, new trail, new pace.
Kick off the morning with a powerful run or hike along Lastovo’s rugged cliffs - fast trails, sweeping views, and plenty of elevation to wake up your legs. The terrain is raw and rewarding, with pine forests and sea drops keeping the pace fresh and engaging.
Refuel with lunch back on board, then set sail for Korčula, one of Croatia’s most iconic islands. After a 3-4 hour crossing, lace up again for a sunset session to the island’s southeast peak. Fast climb, solid views, and a golden-hour finish that hits just right.
Start strong with a sunrise session on Korčula - fast, flowing trails, sea views, and technical sections that keep you sharp. After the run or hike, sail toward Hvar for a full switch of energy: cliff jumping, coastal scrambles, or a steep climb straight from the sea. It’s all about that burn in the legs and the dive that cools it off.
Get vertical early - Hvar’s Via Ferrata kicks off with steel cables, exposed rock faces, and insane sea views. Choose your line (A/B or C/D with a hanging bridge if you’re up for it) and push to the top. After the summit, it’s back down for a solid brunch, then straight into the water: snorkel, float, recover. You’ve earned it.
Crush a morning loop through Hvar’s wild backcountry - tight trails, punchy climbs, and epic views over lavender fields and cliffs that drop straight into the sea. In the afternoon, chill on deck as the yacht takes you 3–4 hours across to Vis, an island that blends laid-back vibes with deep history. New island, new terrain, same energy.
Last day, last trails - go all in. Explore Vis with a final run or hike along coastal paths and fortress views, then sail 1–2 hours to Biševo for a well-earned farewell dinner. When the sun goes down, the yacht sets course for Rodi Garganico with an 8–12 hour night crossing under the stars. Legs tired, heart full.
Wake up to calm seas and the coast of Italy on the horizon. After one last breakfast on board, it’s time to pack up, say your goodbyes and step back on land - with salt in your hair, trails in your legs, and a week of stories to bring home.
