Tour description

Stories of the sea and the islands

A full-day storytelling journey through the Trogir archipelago with Mia Kazoti — the only licensed lady captain in the Trogir area and a direct descendant of Blessed Augustin Kažotić. The route weaves heritage, local legends and hand-picked tastings into one slow, sensory experience at sea.

You sail from Trogir through the Trogir Channel, passing Drvenik Veliki with Drvenik Mali on the horizon — the moment for the tale of the famed Drvenik carob tree. The boat then enters the port of Maslinica on Šolta, where the story of the historic Martinis‑Marchi manor unfolds as you glide into its bay.

From Maslinica the route turns toward Krknjaši, and as the boat sails in, the captain shares the story of the lagoon’s geological formation. Mid-day you anchor here for swimming and snorkelling — snorkel gear and recreational equipment are on board and included in the price.

Leaving Krknjaši, the boat heads for Čiovo with the story of the island’s historic role as a quarantine for lepers, then passes the islet of Kraljevac and its own quiet chapter of local history.

The day ends in Branac cove on Čiovo, where a local OPG (family-run estate) serves the included lunch.

The Fisherman’s Table — lunch is intentionally simple, inspired by the everyday meals once shared by fishermen, sailors and island families across the Adriatic. The meal follows the philosophy of old island kitchens: simple, seasonal and unpretentious. What matters is not fine dining, but the atmosphere — shade above the tables, the scent of the grill and the slow rhythm of a Dalmatian afternoon. Depending on the day and the catch, guests usually choose between grilled mackerel, grilled chicken, or traditional pasta with tomato sauce (“manistra na pome”). A modest island meal, shaped more by tradition than presentation. “No fine dining. No staged luxury. Just honest local food served slowly by the sea.”
