The southern coast of Croatia on the sun-drenched Adriatic has become one of the most enticing sailing destinations in the Mediterranean. Sparkling clear waters and pristine beaches are just part of the allure. Croatia’s Dalmatian Islands also offer a thousand years of history and culture, charming villages, superb dining, and vibrant nightlife. Whether you seek to relax on a quiet beach, hike and explore ancient ruins, or enjoy dinner and drinks in town, you can find it all sailing in Croatia—often in the same beautiful anchorage.
The Sunsail base in Agana and the marina town provide every imaginable amenity. Set in a picturesque village with excellent dining, two well-stocked supermarkets, hotels, and on-site shower facilities, your comfort is assured.
The Adriatic waters are deep, and most navigation is by line of sight. Picturesque ports often have restaurants and resorts equipped with moorings for customers, and many marinas offer transient moorings. Almost every harbour has designated anchoring spots, making it easy to find a place to spend the night.
Agana’s central location grants access to the entire Dalmatian coast. The nearby island of Brač is a leisurely sail away, offering beaches, resorts, and numerous towns. Explore the 15th-century monastery and the Dragon’s Cave, adorned with ancient carvings and stunning mineral formations. Next to Brač is Hvar, featuring more beaches, four UNESCO historic sites, and a lively nightlife scene. Further offshore, the smaller island of Vis is less developed, a former military base with abundant wildlife, open spaces, and natural attractions like the Blue Cave at the island’s tip.
Sailing north from Agana, you’ll encounter many smaller islands, each with harbour towns and anchorages. Fresh seafood, local cuisine, and beautiful beaches are abundant. Every populated island has its own unique history, archaeological sites, and natural attractions.
Croatia’s mainland also boasts stunning beaches and charming harbours. A trip up the Krka River to the picturesque town of Skradin is a delightful way to spend a few days. Hike the Krka National Park to see the famous falls and lakes, then visit the mussel farm or the quaint village of Zlarin on the small island at the river’s mouth on your way back.
Further north and away from the coast, the Kornati National Park protects eighty-nine gorgeous islands, islets, and reefs. Here, you’ll find some of Croatia’s best snorkelling and diving, with a rich variety of marine life. Sea turtles, dolphins, basking sharks, coral, and hundreds of fish species inhabit the waters around the islands.
The best way to reach Agana is to fly into nearby Split and then take a shuttle or taxi, a journey of about thirty minutes. Direct flights to Split are available from all over Europe.
