Croatia Itineraries

Sicenica

Sićenica is a small, quiet and delightful bay, enclosed in rare pine trees and karst walls raised by hand centuries ago. Mooring buoys belong to the marina Frapa on the other side of the hill and are payable. There is a cute promenade along the coast and the restaurant “Lanterna” is very good and widely beloved.

Mooring

The bay is laid with mooring buoys that belong to marina Frapa in Rogoznica town – just across the hill. Free anchoring is allowed with a distance of 300 m from the last buoy.

Things to do

Swimming, sipping a glass of wine and sunbathing is the best thing to do while in this bay surrounded with translucent waters of Adriatic sea. A nice walk and a great restaurant are worth the trip to coast.

Facilities

Moorngs Buoys, Restaurant

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.

Zlarin

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 a selection of restaurants to enjoy an evening meal, one of our favourites is family restaurant “Ivana” for excellent Dalmatian cuisine.

Mooring

There is usually space to moor on the large town quay, which offers shelter from most winds, but can get very choppy when a north-westerly is blowing. Anchoring isn’t free of charge in the bay, and there are payable mooring buoys.

Things to do

Immerse yourself in the Zlarin tradition, visit the coral museum or just soak in the atmosphere in one of the local cafes.

Lavsa Island, Kornati National Park

Entering Kornati National Park – the “crown of Croatian islands” requires a ticket for your yacht. 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. Tickets are best purchased at least a day in advance, either online or in tour agencies, either for 1, 3 or 7 days. If your goal is to reach ACI Piškera marina to spend a night at the only place that has a working supermarket, then the ticket for Kornati is included in the marina berth. Entry tickets for 3 days also include adjecent Nature Park Telaščica further up north.

Things to do

Kornati islands are known as sailors paradise, so get to tacking and jibing. You can also get in touch with a local diving centre if you have your diving license and discover the magical underwater world of the protected area.

Stupica Vela Bay, Žirje

A real pearl – Stupica Vela on the southeast side of Žirje island is a great escape from everyday worries. Settled between Mediterranean bushes is a lonesome restaurant, serving home-made and self-cought food, bringing the real Dalmatian sense into every bite. Put on good walking shoes, bring water and head to the top of the hill to visit old Illyrian ruins from the 6th century combined with a sublime view of the bay, or simply lounge on board immersing yourself in the serenity of the surroundings.

Mooring

Rogoznica

A small resort town situated in a deep and sheltered bay, much of the charming town of Rogoznica is located on a small island connected to the mainland via a bridge. The waterfront is lined with bars, shops and several good restaurants, all of which enjoy the beautiful views over the bay; especially at sunset. 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.

Mooring

Rogoznica is the home of an often-rewarded marina: Marina Frapa, which also offers mooring buoys on both sides of the bridge connecting Rogoznica island and mainland. 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.

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.

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.

Komiža to ACI marina Palmižana, St. Klement

Turn north at the Vis islands’ westernmost tip, pointing your bow in the direction of the spectacular Pakleni Islands. Situated just across the channel from the famous town of Hvar, Pakleni Islands are the best place to leave your yacht safely in order to discover this gem.

Golden Horn, or Golden Cape, is probably the best known beach in Croatia. It is found next to Bol town, on the way from Vrboska it will be visible on the starboard side. The beach gets a couple of centimetres longer every year, and due to currents and winds around -it never looks the same.

Bobovišća to Marina Agana

It’s a short journey from Bobovišća back to our base at Marina where you need to arrive no later than 5 pm, so take the time to enjoy your final day and do a little more exploring.

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.

Hvar town, Hvar

Hvar town on the same-named island with the sunniest hours in a year definitely deserves a visit. Sightseeing includes St. Stephen’s cathedral, the theatre of Hvar from 17th century, the renaissance walls and buildings, and not-to-be-missed fortress Fortica (Spanjola) guarding the town from above. The nightlife in Hvar is the main reason why so many young tourists come in the summer, choosing from a wide range of night clubs, sleeping till noon, and sipping coffee in the afternoon while preparing for an exciting evening.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Šipanska Luka, Šipan island

Šipanska Luka is the second settlement on the Šipan Island. In the past this was a favourite place of the nobles from Dubrovnik because of the beautiful landscape, fertile lands, area sheltered from the winds and closeness to Dubrovnik.

Mooring

Restaurant buoys, anchoring

Caution:
>Anchoring can be done throughout the harbor. It is important to leave enough maneuvering space for a passenger ship arriving in the evening and at night from the inner side of the pier.
>Anchoring is not recommended for unstable weather conditions. The bottom does not hold anchor well enough for summer storms, especially after the tramontana storm, which can be strong in the bay. Then it often happens that the anchors start to slip.
