3‑Day Sailing & Camping Escape – From Hvar Town to Medvidina Bay

Intro text (Joomla intro/teaser):
Leave the crowds of Hvar behind for three days and escape by sailboat to the hidden Medvidina Bay – a slow‑travel experience combining small‑boat sailing, wild beaches and camping under the stars.

Full article body:

If a single day on the sea is not enough, this 3‑day sailing & camping escape is for you.
Starting from Hvar town, we sail on a small classic yacht along the south coast and spend two nights in Medvidina Bay, a quiet Robinson‑style anchorage far from the usual tourist routes.

This is a simple, authentic experience – closer to adventure than to luxury charter – made for guests who want time, space and silence.

The idea of the trip

Instead of changing bays every few hours, we slow down and give you time to truly arrive.
You will:

  • Sail along the Hvar coastline on a small boat with just a few people

  • Spend two nights in Medvidina Bay, sleeping in a tent at the Robinson camping site or combining tent and boat

  • Swim, snorkel, read, rest in the shade and enjoy sunsets with almost no artificial light or noise

  • Share stories and simple meals in a place where life follows the rhythm of the sea and the sky

Example itinerary

Day 1 – Sailing from Hvar to Medvidina Bay
We meet in Hvar town, load your bags and food supplies, and start sailing along the south coast.
Depending on wind, we stop in one or two bays for swimming and then continue towards Medvidina Bay, arriving in the afternoon.
You set up your tent or sleeping place, get to know the camp and enjoy your first evening in complete peace.

Day 2 – Full day in Medvidina
No rush, no schedule.
You can:

  • Swim and snorkel in crystal‑clear water

  • Walk, explore the rocks and nearby coves

  • Relax in the shade with a book or just listen to the sea

  • Join your skipper for a short local sail or stay in the bay – as you prefer

In the evening we watch the sunset and the night sky; with almost no light pollution, the stars are usually spectacular.

Day 3 – Return sailing to Hvar
After a slow morning and last swim, we prepare the boat and start sailing back towards Hvar town.
We usually stop in one or two bays on the way, depending on conditions and your energy.
In the late afternoon we arrive back in Hvar, where your short escape ends – hopefully with a quieter mind and many new stories.

Who this is for

This experience is ideal if:

  • You are a couple or two close friends who prefer privacy over crowds

  • You like simple camping, nature and sea, and do not need hotel comfort

  • You are curious about small‑boat life, but prefer a short and guided introduction rather than chartering your own yacht

  • You want to feel what Hvar and Medvidina are like when the last excursion boats have left

You should be comfortable with:

  • Basic camping conditions (shared facilities, limited electricity, simple showers)

  • Moving around on a small sailboat and a dinghy

  • Being offline or with very limited signal part of the time

What is included

  • Private use of a small sailing boat with skipper for 3 days

  • All fuel for the planned route Hvar – Medvidina – Hvar

  • Two nights in Medvidina Bay at the Robinson‑style camping site (tent space or simple arrangement agreed in advance)

  • Use of snorkeling gear

  • Bottled water on board

  • Safety equipment for all guests

Not included

  • Food and drinks (you bring your own supplies; we can help you plan and shop in Hvar before departure)

  • Sleeping bags/personal camping equipment

  • Restaurant meals or bar drinks during the trip

  • Transfers to/from Hvar town at the start and end

  • Optional extras such as special dinners, extra nights or professional photo packages

Price and capacity

  • Price: 590 € per boat for the full 3‑day escape (2 nights)

  • Capacity: best for 2 people (romantic escape), maximum 3 guests for comfort

The price is per boat, so you have the experience to yourselves – no strangers joining your trip.

When is the best time?

This escape is especially beautiful in June and September, when the sea is warm, the air is pleasant and the island is quieter.
We can also run it in July and August, but dates are limited and need to be requested well in advance.

What to bring

  • Light clothing and swimsuit

  • Comfortable shoes or sandals

  • Sleeping bag and, if you like, a camping pillow

  • Lightweight jacket or fleece (nights on the sea can be cooler)

  • Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses

  • Personal toiletries and any medications

  • Phone/power bank and a small flashlight or headlamp

We will send you a detailed packing checklist once your booking is confirmed.
