Sutivan sits on the north coast of Brač, close enough to reach easily and quiet enough that it still feels like an island town rather than a resort. Stone houses run right down to the water, the harbour is lined with small fishing boats, and the beaches start a two-minute walk from where we tie up.
We leave Trogir at 09:00 and take the sheltered route across, so the crossing is calm and there is plenty to look at. Before we reach the harbour the captain drops anchor in a bay for the swim stop — this is the part most people remember. There is no time pressure; the ladder goes down off the stern and you get back on board when you're ready.
Once we're alongside in Sutivan the day is yours. Most people find a konoba for lunch, then split between the beaches west of the harbour and the shaded square in the middle of town. We cast off again in the afternoon and are back in Trogir by 16:30.
Drinks are included the whole way — water, wine, beer and juice from the bar on board. Children under 3 travel free and children aged 3 to 12 pay half.
Find the catamaran Mariano along the waterfront. Come a little early so we can leave on time.
We head out past Čiovo with the sun deck open. The bar is serving from the moment we leave.
Anchor down in a sheltered bay. Swim, snorkel or just float — you set the pace, and the ladder stays down the whole time.
Around four hours ashore. Lunch in a konoba, the beaches west of the harbour, or a slow lap of the old town.
We cast off from Sutivan for the return crossing.
Alongside at the Riva, right where we started.
We board at Trogir Riva. Please arrive about fifteen minutes before departure — the catamaran is white with MARIANO on the bow and PRIVATE EXCURSIONS across the upper deck, so it is hard to miss.
Send us the date and how many of you there are. We'll confirm availability the same day.
