Agana Sailing Itinerary

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.

Day Stops

Maslinica – Šolta Island
On the way to Tatinja Bay, be sure to stop among the little islands in front of Maslinica town. 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!

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.

Vis Island, and Komiža town in particular, served as a film set for the Mamma Mia! movie. See if you can recognize some of the locations from the film.

Diving
Vis Island is considered one of the best dive spots in Croatia. If you’re a licensed diver, there are several diving centers ready to take you into the blue to explore sunken 18th-century ships or World War II bomber planes.

Biševo Island
The small island of Biševo, just 6 nautical miles from Komiža, is one of the Adriatic’s geological wonders, boasting incredible caves and sandy beaches. It’s a perfect stop for those looking to escape the crowds during calm weather.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 reccommendable with your yacht or dinghy – that’s why there are numerous water-taxis. Enjoy the busy bay sipping a cocktail in the famous “”Laganini neach 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. “

If you want to stretch your legs, you can walk to the deserted monastery, or try to find some sea turtles known to reside here.

Proizd island
Before leaving Korčula island, consider one last stop: anchor by Proizd island. Due to its huge white stone entering the translucent water, this place was announced one of the Med’s nicest beaches a couple of times in the past.

Vrboska town, Hvar Island

The flotilla meets back up again on Hvar island, on the north side in a sheltered bay of Vrboska. This town is known as “Little Venice”, because the bay goes so deep inland it starts to seem like a channel. The flotilla will be spending the night on a town quay, where there is a great spot for a “rakija” tasting. Rakija is a schnapps, grappa, or liquor, there are various names and even more tastes.

Marina Agana

Get to know your boat and your new flotilla companions at our base at marina Agana, a charming coastal Marina village of ramshackle Mediterranean houses and quaint waterside restaurants. The port’s convenient location gives you the chance to visit the historic and UNESCO protected harbour town of Trogir (just 15 minutes by taxi) and the ruins of Emperor Diocletian’s Palace at Split (40 minutes) before you depart, or simply relax in the Sunsail lounge or on the nearby beach.

The 2 week flotilla was named after the Croatian island Vis, which can be visited during the Friday and Saturday free sailing days. Those days of the week are the best to go and explore this amazing part of Croatia due to a smaller amount of vessels. The Sunsail expert Lead crew is happy to advise on alternative stops other than Vis if necessary.

*We will do our utmost to accommodate all the stops listed below. However, please be aware that routes may change due to weather conditions or availability.

Croatia isn’t well-known for sandy beaches, but our crews know how to find even that – just around the corner as a great day stop and lunch break find a small sandy beach, great to build castles in sand, or for kids to play in.

Blue Lagoon
A very busy bay – the blue lagoon, is just around the corner as well. Check out the cool bar and pristine blue water before joining your crew on the other side of the island.

Zlarin Island

Zlarin is the only village on the small island situated at the mouth of the Krka river. Historically the island is famous for the harvesting and processing of red coral and there is a small museum and beautiful coral jewellery shop dedicated to this tradition. Cars are banned from the island, giving it a special charm and making it the perfect place to relax. There is usually space to moor on the town quay, which offers shelter from most winds, but can get very choppy when a north-westerly is blowing.

Žirje Island

Get off the beaten track and head into a wonderful and island-packed archipelago of Šibenik, following the wind and tacking your way to the most remote one – Žirje. On the south side of it the flotilla will make a raft and spend the night in between the rugged bays, ideal for exploring, snorkeling, hiking and star gazing. One little restaurant a bit up the bay will serve beautiful home made cuisine with freshly caught fish and home grown vegetables, and a short hike will take you to an old abandoned fortress.

Free sailing day – Vis

Your first free sailing is your opportunity to set your own agenda and explore the Adriatic on your own or with a small group of friends. Choose to spend your day by venturing into the Krka National Park, motor up the river into ancient Roman town of Skradin and visit the mesmerising waterfalls, or stay in Šibenik archipelago and continue the easy island-hopping pace, making the most of the day sailing. For those who want to buff up their miles – head into the Kornati islands National Park and practice tacking and jibing between small islands and reefs.

Free sailing day 2 and 3

On these 2 days all of the one-week flotilla guests will head back to the base, but for our Vis Flotilla sailors the best part of the holiday is just starting. The weekend is the best time to visit this mesmerizing island and we suggest spending both of your free sailing days around its shores. The lead crew are more than happy to point out the best spots depending on the preferences of each crew, and take care of all the necessary bookings and reservations in time.

There are plenty of things to do and see, simply sailing 30 miles to the island across open water is a delight. Once there, choose between wreck diving, wine tasting, sampling legendary meals like traditional peka, or lobster specialties, or scootering across the island with amazing views, visiting the blue or green cave, sunbathing on sandy beaches, or doing the island military tour.

On Sunday meet up with your lead crew again in the next destination along the Adriatic coastline.

Maslinica, Šolta

A small village on the quiet island of Šolta, Maslinica is a popular destination for sailors and holidaymakers. The bay is dominated by a beautiful old castle (now a luxury hotel), and the town quay has recently been renovated into a modern and well-equipped small marina. Known for boasting some of the clearest water in the Adriatic, there are a number of secluded rocky beaches along the pine-clad coastline.

Milna’s network of ancient streets hides a number of excellent shops and restaurants, sure to keep your attention until it’s time to move on.

On the way to Jelsa

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 the tiniest pebbles. It also moves; the currents and winds make this place unique each day. Anchoring is possible, but it may take two tries. There are also mooring buoys and a 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.

Jelsa, Hvar

Leave Milna and sail south, manoeuvring between the islands of Šolta and Brač and heading southeast until you reach the island of Hvar. Cruise along Hvar’s beautiful coastline studded with rolling hills and lush forests until you reach Jelsa, nestled between mountains and tucked in a lovely bay. Fall in love with Jelsa’s old world charm and explore the picturesque waterfront. Jelsa is known for its food, so find a konoba (restaurant) and sample the delicious fresh seafood and local Hvar wines.

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.

Free Sailing Day 4 – Vis

The free sailing day is your chance to explore and see any sights you were longing to visit that aren’t on the flotilla itinerary. Set sail and head to widely-known Hvar town, overnighting in a busy marina, or pick up a buoy in the southern Vinogradišće bay, soaking in the numerous beach clubs. If you want to sail further afield, you and your crew can also choose to head to the island of Vis. It is a great place to explore and a chance to rack up a few blue water miles along the way.

Your crew will suggest choosing an overnight option as early as possible so they can help with bookings.

Things to do

Sunbathing, Swimming, Exploring

Šesula, Šolta

Discover Šolta island

Suggested lunch spots

Hidden amongst steep cliffs of southern Šolta, the entrance to Tatinja bay is marked by a lone rock in the middle of the bay. To the right hand side inlet are a couple of mooring buoys, belonging to a well hidden restaurant, serving only self-grown and self-caught food from open fire, in a relaxed and family atmosphere. A great choice if you don’t want to cook yourself.

Šesula, Šolta to Marina Agana

Sail into the Adriatic once more, putting the island of Šolta behind you as you return to marina Agana. Remember all the fun moments at the prize giving party in the base in the evening. On Saturday, take the time to explore Split further, chilling out on the popular promenade or searching the local markets for a few Croatian keepsakes. Make the most of your final day and soak up as much of the atmosphere as you can.
