14 Day Agana Bareboat Itinerary – to Dubrovnik and Back

A relaxed, two-week vacation, hopping from one Croatian island to the next, reaching the famous Dubrovnik town, and working your way back to Agana base, without ever repeating a destination is definitely the best way to isolate yourself from the world and immerse into a sailing vacation.

Discover wines on Vis and Korčula islands, visit national and nature parks Lastovo and Mljet, walk along Dubrovnik walls and discover hidden beaches and paths in less-visited areas. Every place will draw you in to stay another day, and the beauty of a two-week holiday is that you can indulge yourself and stay.

Highlight:

Taste wine sorts in local wineries
Discover Mediterranean cuisine- Dalmatian style
Mesmerizing Mljet National Park and Lastovo island nature park
See the birthplace of Marco Polo – Korčula town
Walk along Stradun- Dubrovnik’s main streen
Join the jet- setters in Hvar town
Try oysters in Ston, next to European Wall of China

Day 1

Marina Agana

Our base at Marina Agana in Marina Village is the first port of call on your Croatian food and wine adventure. Arrive early to explore the nearby UNESCO World Heritage towns of Trogir and Split. At marina Agana you’ll meet your new flotilla companions over dinner in the local Konoba (restaurant). We recommend the Croatian delicacy peka, prepared ‘under the bell’ in a special dish heaped with embers. This traditional baked dish is delicious with veal, lamb, or octopus.

Maslinica town
Just a short walk from Šešula Bay will take you to Maslinica town, with its 5-star marina and white-stone houses in a tiny bay.

Every island in Croatia has a proud wine-making history. The one on Šolta is kept alive by Vicko Kaštelanac. He will be more than happy to pick you up from Šešula Bay and drive you to his vineyards for wine tasting and local delicacies, all still made by hand.

Day 3

Šešula to Komiža, Vis

Depart early from Šešula for an exciting spot of blue water sailing as you strike out for distant Vis. Vis is the most Westerly of the Dalmatian Islands, so hope for a strong wind as you point your bow towards this Adriatic gem. Head for Vis’ western coast, where the traditional town of Komiža waits in a broad and sheltered bay. This beautiful, hill-fringed town is home to a unique waterside castle and is a great spot to try Vis’ famous wine and seafood or scuba diving.

Discover Vis

Explore the blue cave

Komiža town is perfect starting point to visit the Blue Cave, 6 miles away on tiny Biševo island. The cave is under protection, meaning one cannot enter it with their own dinghy, but has to be taken in for a 20-minute tour. That can either be arranged directly from Komiža with a speedboat, or after mooring in front of the cave entrance, when the tour guide picks you up on their boat.

The light bends in perfect angles to make the cave illuminate blue, and is best suited for a visit when sun is at its highest point.

Day 4

Vis to Pasadur, Lastovo Nature Park

Your next port of call is Lastovo nature park, one of Croatia’s best kept secrets, where time stands still and you feel like you are alone in the world. Pasadur is a little town on Lastovo’s west shore, connected to neighbouring Prežba island with a charming stone bridge. Mooring with lazy lines is possible in front of hotel Solitudo- the only hotel on the island. While there are mooring buoys in the nearby Veji Lago bay, remember that anchoring in this protected park is forbidden. Take a long, romantic walk along the promenade and adjust to island time, taking things slow.

Day 5

Pasadur to Saplun, Lastovo Nature Park

Sailing around Lastovo nature park can be really fun, so catch whatever winds available and enjoy. Use the short distance to your next overnight spot to make a stop all around the island and savour the sights and soak in the nature in its purest form. Once in Saplun bay, relish in the sandy beach and peace and quiet.

Hidden bay
Skrivena Luka on the southern shores of the island means hidden harbour. Once you approach, you will see why. The lighthouse Struga marking the entrance is built on a steep cliff 104 meters high. Today this second-oldest lighthouse in Adriatic is equipped with apartements, offering a stunning view of the open sea, with corals found under the sea surface.

Day 6

Saplun to Pomena, Mljet National Park

Point your bow to the east, and after a short sail you will reach the seductive island of Mljet. As you reach the shores of Mljet, stop for swimming and snorkelling in the warm waters that caress the coastline. You’ll finish your night in the sheltered cove of beautiful Pomena. Backed by a dense Aleppo pine forest, this lovely village offers a handful of restaurants and shops to explore.

Pomena to Dubrovnik

Passing along the shores of Mljet island, and through the Elaphiti archipelago, you arrive to the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’. Dubrovnik Old Town is renowned as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved medieval walled cities on the planet – short sightseeing trip is not to be missed. Dubrovnik is home to a number of Renaissance palaces and ancient citadels, while the warren of pedestrianised streets reveal numerous restaurants, cafés and shops. Choose between two marinas here, and head into the town, walk along the walls, discover Stradun- the main street or get into the cable car above the town for some amazing views.

Day 8

Dubrovnik to Ston, Pelješac

Today you’ll set sail from Dubrovnik for Ston, a coastal town perched on the slender, finger-like peninsula of Pelješac. You’ll have enough time to explore the town- we suggest checking out the city walls, the second longest defensive walls in the world, also known as “European wall of China”. It was built by Dubrovnik state to protect the salt mine in a time when salt was more expensive than gold; today the salt pens are the oldest in Europe. After exploration, relax with a glass of local wine- Pelješac peninsula is the richest wine region of Croatia, some bottles are even exported to English court; and try the oysters – the best in the world.

Day 9

Ston to Korčula town

A day’s sail from Ston, this leg of your bareboat sailing holiday takes just you to the quiet coves, luscious vineyards and sheltered beaches of Korčula. Stop along the way for swimming and snorkelling on the island of Badija, then explore the island’s 14th century Franciscan monastery. Back on your yacht, set sail for the lively town of Korčula. Here you’ll find museums, galleries and fine restaurants within the beautiful cobbled streets and defensive walls of the town. The evenings are filled with smells and tastes of local cuisine, and if you come at the right time,you might get to see the “Moreška”- atraditional dance with swords performed in the main square.

Day 10

Korčula to Vinogradišće bay, Pakleni archipelago

Start early to cover 35 miles getting to Vinogradišće Bay. On the way are numerous bays along the north side of Korčula Island where you can drop anchor and rest, swimming, kayaking or paddling along the lonesome coves. Vinogradišće Bay is very popular, full of high-end restaurants, great cocktail beach clubs and mooring buoys to leave your yacht. Island-hopping between tiny islets of Pakleni archipelago and Hvar town isn’t recommendable with your yacht or dinghy – that’s why there are numerous water-taxis. Enjoy the busy bay sipping a cocktail in the famous “Laganini beach bar”, have a walk among the botanical plants of St. Clement island and hit the lively night scene in a restaurant or club. Considering the long sail you had, the bustling night scene, and the proximity of Hvar town just waiting to be explored, we suggest spending two days in this bay to experience all it has to offer. ”
