Day 5- Hvar - Full Day Sailing the Island of Brac
Sky View of the Zlatni Rat Beach
Splendid Med-Seaside Town of Supetar
 Full-day Sail
Today's full day of sailing this popular island will include guided visits to some of its small coastal towns and plenty of time to enjoy secluded coves, snorkeling, and swimming.
With our local expert & guide, we'll sail for about an hour to the Island of Brac, the highest island in the Adriatic Sea and the third largest in the Adriatic. The limestone part of the coast is rocky and steep, while the rest is rather low and sandy (on the southern side from Farska to Bol, and on the northern side from Sutivan to Supetar)
Today's sail to this popular island will include a visit to Supetar, Sutivan, and to the picturesque little town of Bol.
With its 3500 inhabitants Supetar is the biggest settlement on the island Brac, and the centre of the island. Not much further down the southern coast of Brac, is Sutivan, a small, quaint village with a Mediterranean atmosphere and beautiful beaches surrounded by forests. Sail to the beautiful town of Bol, taking time to stroll the coastal streets, or enjoy swimming or sunbathing on the famous beach called Zlatni Rat (Golden Promontory). The Zlatni Rat beach reaches out into the sea and creates an ever changing, wild, beachscape, and is surrounded by dense pine woods in the background
This will be a full day sailing tour of Brac Island!! Lunch included.

 Full-day Sail
