Agana Sailing Itinerary

Marina Agana

Our base is situated at Marina Agana in Marina village, just a short taxi ride from the ancient coastal cities of Trogir and Split. Marina is a peaceful Croatian fishing village made up of cosy, terracotta roofed houses built from bright white stone. It’s an impossibly picturesque start to your Croatian flotilla holiday, and ideally situated to reach the coastal and island highlights of Dalmatia. Spend your first day exploring Split (a 40-minute taxi ride away) or kick back with a pivo (beer) in one of Marina’s waterside bars.

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

Vis is the most westerly of Croatia’s large islands, so the journey from Stomorska to Vis town will take you on a blue water sailing adventure. Let the Adriatic slip by as Vis Island grows larger in the distance, enjoying a cold G&T or a bottle of local wine along the way. Vis is known for its wine and excellent fresh seafood.

Wines and vineyard

Antonio Lipanović vineyard

Located in an old military bunker a short walk from Vis Town, Antonio Lipanović is well established as one of Vis’ leading winemakers. A visit to this winery combines all that Vis has to offer; the ancient wine heritage along with the more recent military history.

Wines: Vugava, Viski Opol, Plavac Mali

The popular Vugava is made from a white grape indigenous to Vis and is often compared to Viogner. An Opol rosé and red Plavac Mali Barrique are also on offer. Sample these accompanied by local pršut (prosciutto), anchovies and cheeses in the cool of the bunker once occupied by Tito.

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.

Discover 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 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.

Bobovišće, Brac

Sail north from the marina at Jelsa and head west along the hilly coast of Brač Island. Pass the famous Zlatni Rat beach peninsula and follow the coast as it curves north. Manoeuvre through the straights just south of Šolta, and you’ll find the town of Bobovišće tucked into a forked inlet on the island’s western coast. This small, traditional village is a great place to sample authentic Dalmatian cuisine.

Wines and vineyard

Senjković vineyard

The rocky and unforgiving terrain of Brač means that the Plavac Mali grapes cultivated here are different to those found on other Dalmatian islands and this is apparent in the Senjković wines. The rustic wine cellar is full of character, with stacked barrels and old black and white family photos.

Wines: Bosso, Bročko Rić, Spoža, Prošek

Limited production capabilities and the popularity of their wines means this is the only place to sample most of the Senjković wines! Each wine is paired with a delicious homemade canapé for a real taste of Brač.

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. Visit Krknjaši Lagoon for a long lunch break in picturesque surroundings, or stop at the ancient fortified town of Trogir on your way back to marina Agana. With so much to see along the Dalmatian Coast, you’ll want to make the most of any hours you have left.

By now you’ll have brushed up on your sailing skills and feel confident enough to head out into the Adriatic on your own or in small groups. 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 wide-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.

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.

Stari Grad town, Hvar island

The flotilla is staying on remarkable Hvar island for another day, sailing around the northwestern tip and into the bay of Stari Grad. It is said that the Greek hero Jason and his Argonauts came here and founded the then-called Faros while looking for the golden fleece.

On down time, pick up the snorkeling gear from your lockers and check out the sunken wooden boat in the south end of the bay. The shallows of the bay are also filled with pen shells that are protected, so don’t try to take them out of the sea. To sum up a great day a group meal is arranged at a nearby restaurant.
