Agana Sailing Itinerary
Bareboat itineraries
Choose a Croatian bareboat charter vacation for the ultimate freedom to explore the Dalmatian Coast at your leisure. Go wherever the mood takes you—north to the spectacular waterfalls of Krka National Park and the region’s sleepy fishing villages, maybe visit Kornati National Park – also known as sailors paradise; or South to the popular, bustling islands of Dalmatia, even all the way to Dubrovnik. A bareboat charter holiday is just you and the open ocean—perfect for more experienced sailors with an adventurous spirit.
We understand the thrill of sailing in a new area and that, as exciting as it is, it can be a challenge to take on at first. So we took the liberty of putting together a couple of route ideas to help get an idea of how far and wide our guests could take their yachts.
Flotilla itineraries
The most sociable way to explore the Croatian coastline, flotilla holidays give you the chance to experience a Croatian sailing getaway in the company of other Mediterranean travellers eager to make new friends and share new experiences. Sail with an experienced lead crew armed with local knowledge and recommendations you won’t find anywhere else. On a flotilla holiday, you’ll improve your sailing skills along the way before enjoying all the leisure opportunities Croatia has to offer alongside your new friends, and the full support of a Sunsail 3-person crew: Skipper, Hostess and Technician.
Our Flotilla itineraries were designed to cover the best of what the Croatian region has to offer, and are sometimes changeable due to the weather or other circumstances. The Sunsail lead crew will always take care to ensure you get the best out of the week and to keep you updated in case of any necessary changes.
Special flotillas
Keep an eye out for our special flotillas, which we change every year. If you’re a complete beginner or want to get qualified, our Flotilla Starter and Flotilla Hero packages get you up to speed to make the most of your flotilla vacation. Having a skipper is also possible while on a Flotilla charter. Ask us for more details.

7 days Sail – Off the Beaten Track in Central Dalmatia
Day 1
Fumija Bay, Ciovo Island
Start your adventure at Marina Agana, where our Sunsail base is located. Take your time to settle in, get comfortable on the yacht, and make sure you have enough provisions for the week.
Sail out to your first destination—Fumija Bay on the south side of Čiovo Island. Its proximity to the base and excellent free-swinging anchoring conditions make it an ideal first stop. For those who enjoy sipping a cocktail at a beach bar or prefer to have dinner ashore, Fumija does not disappoint. Just a short swim away—or a dinghy ride if you’d prefer to stay dry—you’ll find a great beach bar, and a traditional restaurant is just around the corner.
Please note:
- This itinerary requires guests to have anchoring experience for safe overnight stays, as the route is highly weather-dependent. Reduced costs are to be expected due to the lack of access to electricity, water refills, and waste disposal at these remote stops—this is truly an escape into nature.
- This first day is a suggestion that applies only to customers who have opted for the paid ‘early boarding’ option. If boarding at the standard Sunsail boarding time of 6pm, guests will only depart the next morning.

A short dinghy ride away is the beautifully renovated Martinis Marchi Castle, now a hotel, along with a small, well-equipped marina. The town is quaint, with a small shop, charming restaurants, and a beach bar—perfect for a leisurely stroll.
Vela Rina Beach – Drvenik Island
While Croatia isn’t typically known for its sandy beaches, there are a few hidden gems. Vela Rina is one of the lesser-known ones. Stopping here in the morning, before the maestral winds pick up, will make any child giddy as they begin building sandcastles!
Day 3
Komiža Town, Vis Island
After one or two nights in tranquil, secluded bays, sail across the blue to the historic town of Komiža on Vis Island. Known for its traditional fishing village charm, Komiža offers a glimpse into the island’s rich history and culture. Spend the night on mooring buoys, taking in the stunning waterfront views. For those who wish to arrive earlier and prefer a dock, it’s possible to tie up at a small town quay, located right next to Komiža’s national cultural treasure—the traditional fishing sailing boats, Gajeta Falkuša.

Day Stops
Stiniva Bay
A narrow, long bay ends with a stone gate leading into a small cove with a pebble beach, surrounded by layered rock walls. We believe it was once a karst cave that collapsed several thousand years ago. In 2016, Stiniva was declared Europe’s most beautiful beach. However, it’s worth remembering to bring shoes for swimming ashore, as the stones can be quite uncomfortable on bare feet. Don’t forget your wallet either—the little bar serves delicious drinks and snacks for weary travelers.
Green Cave – Ravnik Island
The Green Cave has been protected since 1967 as a geomorphological monument of nature. Sunlight pierces the cave interior, lighting up the sea floor like a spotlight in the darkness. The contrast of the cave’s darkness enhances the intensity of this miraculous spotlight, making it look as though the cave’s bottom shines through to the surface. The buoys in front of the cave are payable and can easily be obtained during the day.
Day 5
Zaraće Bay, Hvar Island
The area around Hvar Town offers some stunning bays for overnight stays, either on anchor or mooring buoys. We’ve chosen Zaraće as our next destination. Protected by a natural stone breakwater, its southern side features mooring buoys belonging to a quaint restaurant. It’s also just a 15-minute drive from the bustling Hvar Town.

Rogačić Bay, Vis Island
Vis Island has a turbulent history and was closed off to the public until the 1990s. A great reminder of that period are the island’s numerous caves and bunkers, built for military purposes. One of the best-preserved submarine tunnels can be found in Rogačić Bay, where you can drop anchor and explore the place where submarines once hid.
Hvar Town and Pakleni Archipelago
By now, everyone knows that the best parties and beach events are found around Hvar Town in Croatia during the summer. Make a stop near Carpe Diem Beach, or anchor in front of the Hula Hula Bar and shake a leg at a lively after-beach party. Afterward, head to a quieter spot for the night to unwind.
Day 6
Smrka Bay, Brac Island
Enjoy a morning swim, have breakfast on board, and release your mooring buoy as you head north toward the island of Brač. The southwestern part of the island is dotted with secluded bays, perfect for an overnight anchorage. A Sunsail favorite is Smrka Bay, which can only accommodate a couple of boats, offering a serene sense of peace and tranquility.
An old submarine tunnel adds a touch of adventure for the explorers in your crew, while an easy hiking trail leads to Blaca Monastery—an excellent morning workout to a place carved into living rock.

The “Zlatni Rat” beach
On the way to Hvar island, you will pass by one of the nicest beaches on the Dalmatian coast. Translated “Golden Horn”, the beach is not sandy, but made of tiniest pebbles. It also moves – the currents and winds make this place unique each day. Anchoring immediately next to the beach is forbidden, but there is a large town quay. Make sure to calculate in the wind that is always present – which is also the reason why there is a great windsurfing centre on the beach. Hikers will also get a fair share of joy – Vidova gora, the highest peak of all Dalmatian islands, rewards a 2-hour hike with a once-in-a-lifetime view.
Suggested lunch spots
The small cove of Smrka features a huge entrance to an abandoned submarine shelter. Use your lunchtime break to anchor for lunch, then explore the tunnel or take a kayak around the cove.

The “Zlatni Rat” beach
On the way to Hvar island, you will pass by one of the nicest beaches on the Dalmatian coast. Translated “Golden Horn”, the beach is not sandy, but made of tiniest pebbles. It also moves – the currents and winds make this place unique each day. Anchoring immediately next to the beach is forbidden, but there is a large town quay. Make sure to calculate in the wind that is always present – which is also the reason why there is a great windsurfing centre on the beach. Hikers will also get a fair share of joy – Vidova gora, the highest peak of all Dalmatian islands, rewards a 2-hour hike with a once-in-a-lifetime view.
Suggested lunch spots
The small cove of Smrka features a huge entrance to an abandoned submarine shelter. Use your lunchtime break to anchor for lunch, then explore the tunnel or take a kayak around the cove.
Day 12

Skradin
Skradin is a picturesque Dalmatian town with narrow cobbled streets and venetian architecture dating back to the 10th century, when it was still called Scardona by the Romans. The gateway between the sea and the Krka National Park, Skradin lies at the river entrance to the park itself. As you make your way up the winding Krka river to Skradin be sure to stop at local mussels farms to pick up some fresh produce! The ACI Marina is very busy in the summer so be sure to book ahead of time. It is also possible to anchor in the bay and the mud riverbed ensures good holding, or you could also pic up some mooring buoys or visit nearby restaurant with a lovely dock for its guests. In the evening explore Skradin town and try the traditional Croatian delicacy “peka”; a combination of meat or fish and potatoes slow cooked for 2-4 hours. Konoba Toni in the old town is well known for fantastic peka. Skradin’s position as both a Dalmatian town and a river-side town brings some delicious meals, and excellent wine sorts. You can venture a short trip inland to have a taste in the local winery, or use the whole day to explore the Krka National Park.
Mooring
The ACI marina in Skradin uses Med-style mooring lines, like all marinas in Croatia, and, like all marinas in Croatia, it is good to reserve it in advance in high season and call on VHF 17 while approaching. There are a couple of mooring buoys on the other side of the riverbed also belonging to ACI marina, and anchoring is allowed in the mud bottom on the north side of the river, before the marina. The restaurant Vidrovača has a couple of berths for their guests, so try reserving dinner on time.
Things to do
Visiting the Krka National Park is the main reason to go to Skradin. You can spend 3 hours or 3 days wandering the intertwined wooden pathways around waterfalls and lakes of this river. After the last cascade it is also allowed to swim in the lake, so remember to bring a swimsuit. Skradin, however, is more than the rich park. Gastrology here is special, so opt for the amazing “peka” dish, or try the freshest mussels around. Reaching the local Bibich winery or archeological find known as the “Troy of Croatia” is also a great way to spend an afternoon.

The park itself is protected due to rich underwater life, hidden beneath the surface between 150 islets and reefs of the park. Lavsa island is a lovely speck of land with a hidden cove almost designed to leave your yacht overnight. After finding the barely visible entrance to the bay, drop anchor and visit the restaurant for some succulent fish delicacies.

Mooring
Included in the price of the national park ticket is also the usage of park’s mooring buoys, so try to avoid anchoring whenever you can to prevent further harm to the seabed.

Across the other side of the bay is the Dragon’s Eye salt-water lake and Marina Frapa; reputed as one of the most beautiful and exclusive marinas in Croatia. Within the marina complex is; a sushi restaurant, sports centre, disco and swimming pool. The charming lavander labyrinth above the town quay is also worth a look.

The town quay is on the island itself, equipped with good mooring lines, showers and toilets. Free anchoring is also possible a little further inland, after passing the island on its eastern edge.
Things to do
Discovering great food in waterfront restaurants, sipping cocktails in bars, climbing the hill above the town quay to see the lavander labyrinth, or getting to know local legends about dragons while visiting the Dragons Eye lake next to the marina are all good ideas to pass the afternoon or evening. Renting bikes or scooter and going for a little longer ride can also delight and entice you.

Day 7
Agana
The Mooring base at marina Agana is a part of small and reticent town Marina. Although the name of the town provides for some confusion in conversations, there is nothing simpler than Marina town’s layout. A peacefull waterfront is filled with simple sea-side restaurants and local bars, while the northern side of the bay is the marina itself. Every couple of weeks the town throws a feat for the guests, so you may hear its sounds in the weekend.
Mooring
Marina Agana is the only marina here, with Med-style mooring (lazy line), like all marinas in Croatia are using. Anchoring is free in the bay while approaching/leaving the base. Don’t forget to contact the base staff on VHF 08 to get assistance if necessary.
Things to do
While waiting for your boat to be ready for you, head to one of the 2 beaches right next to the marina, eat in one of the restaurants, or head into towns of Trogir or Split. The many attractions in Split include the famous Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Aside from sightseeing with a tour guide, there is also the option to visit Game of Thrones filming locations, or simply explore the old town core inclusive restaurants and bars yourself. Closer to Agana is Trogir town- a fascinating place to visit, making you feel as though you have stepped into a time warp to a distant era in the past, also under UNESCO protection. The Roman ruins of Solin and the natural wonders of the Krka National Park are just a couple of the additional points of interest in the vicinity of Agana base.
