Marina Agana Sailing Itinerary

Fumija Bay, Čiovo 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.

Mamma Mia!
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.

Stončica Bay, Vis Island

Spend a full day circling Vis Island to reach Stončica, a peaceful sandy bay surrounded by lush nature. With its calm waters and tranquil atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot for relaxation.

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, Brač 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.

Free Sailing Day Hvar

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.

Stari Grad to Lučice, Brač

A short hop over the channel and you are on Brač island. Seize the day and head to the southern tip to see the Golden Cape, the acclaimed pebble beach that shifts daily depending on the currents and the wind. Or climb the hills of Brač and visit the old monastery carved inside the rock for a back-in-time experience. Lučice is a serene bay, filled with mooring buoys. Cook on board or decide to sample some local food in the sea-side restaurants. You can also have a long walk through pine tree forest and reach Milna town, a charming coastal town on the other end of the hill.
