Pirovac weekend sailing route.
Three nights across Murter, Žirje and Kaprije. The easiest first charter there is, or a long weekend afloat.
Three nights, three islands.
A short, sweet first taste of the Kornati, a sandy beach, the islands' gateway bay and a sleepy car-free village, all within an easy reach of home.
- Slanica beach, Murter's sandy first swim
- Žut, the gateway bay into the Kornati
- Kaprije, 50 people, two konobas, no cars
- ~45 NM, the perfect first charter or long weekend

Three easy nights within a couple of hours of base: the perfect first charter, or a long birthday weekend. Short hops, sandy bays and konoba dinners, never more than a couple of hours from base.

Day 2 · Murter → Žut
Murter → Žut, Kornati gateway · ~14 nm · ~3 hrs
A proper little sail west to Žut, the doorway to the Kornati. Free moorings if you eat at the bay’s restaurant, clear water to swim in, and a twenty-minute ridge walk for a sunset the whole crew will photograph.

Day 3 · Žut → Kaprije
Žut → Kaprije · ~12 nm · ~2.5 hrs
Drift down to sleepy Kaprije: fifty inhabitants, no cars, two konobas. Anchor in the bay or take the village mooring and eat fish under the fig trees at Konoba Mareta. The most peaceful night of the trip.

Mon
Day 4 · Kaprije → Pirovac
Kaprije → Pirovac · ~12 nm · ~2.5 hrs
One last morning swim, then a gentle reach back to base for late morning. Plenty of time to pack, settle up and still make an afternoon onward journey, or simply linger over a final coffee on the dock.
