MY Voyage / Route T7

Our captain's routes don't follow a set route. Rather, we leave it to the captain with his many years of experience, to put together an unforgettable cruise week.

A Friday evening in July, aboard the MY Mystic: We asked Captain Arsen how he would organise the Captain's Route from Trogir:

Of course, I don't sail on a fixed route, but also ask my guests what they would like to see. But basically, I avoid overnight stays on the mainland, because it is much quieter on the islands. On the island of Brač I like to go to the cosy fishing village of Postira, in whose harbour we are sometimes the only ship. Or the tranquil place of Milna, which lies in a deeply cut, protected bay. After that, the island of Hvar is usually on the agenda. While in the port of Hvar often up to 30 ships stay overnight at the same time, I choose the small places Jelsa and Vrboska on the northern side of the island. They really have preserved a large part of their originality, and unlike the town of Hvar, the loudspeaker boxes of the cafés and bars do not boom here until the early hours of the morning. And then, of course, there is the "forbidden island“–- Vis. The island was a military restricted area until the end of the 1980s, and foreign visitors were denied entry. This is why mass tourism has never developed here. My first destination on the island is usually the town of Vis with its typical mediterranean hustle and bustle in midsummer, before I head for the smaller town of Komiža, on the other side of the island the next day. And if we are already in Komiža, of course we will not miss the nearby islet of Biševo, where my guests have the opportunity to visit the famous "Blue Cave“ by small boats. Of course, this is not a fixed program, but depends on the wishes of my guests, and of course on the weather.
