The Charter Experience
Your week unfolds at a rhythm you set. Mornings might find you anchored over clear reefs with time for diving or snorkelling, whilst afternoons bring private access to fortified medieval towns like Dubrovnik and Hvar. Evenings anchor MAIA in secluded bays where the crew's knowledge of optimal holding ground and protection transforms each night into a quiet anchorage rather than a crowded port. The crew continuously reads wind patterns, guest moods, and local conditions, adjusting your itinerary to deliver authentic Adriatic sailing without rigid scheduling. Whether you prefer Montenegro's dramatic fjord-like geography or Croatia's island-hopping culture, MAIA's responsive crew ensures each stop feels personally curated.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might begin in Split, with MAIA sailing toward Hvar for an evening arrival and private exploration of Renaissance architecture. Days two and three arc through the central Dalmatian islands, anchoring at lesser-known bays for swimming and chef-prepared lunches on deck. Day four transitions toward Montenegro's Bay of Kotor, where steep limestone mountains replace open sea views and anchorages become more intimate. The final days blend hidden coves, Kotor's medieval quarter, and unhurried passages designed around your interests rather than a predetermined schedule.
