Sakarun Expedition: Discover the Turquoise Paradise & Secret Shipwreck
Skip the crowded ferries. Escape to Croatia’s “Caribbean” on a private speedboat adventure designed for those who seek more than just a beach day.
Don’t Waste Your Vacation in the Crowds
Most people visit Sakarun on massive tour boats or slow public ferries. They spend 4 hours commuting, arrive at a crowded beach, and miss the hidden wonders nearby. Don’t let your one day in paradise be a logistics nightmare. Choose a private expedition that values your time and offers exclusive access to the island’s best-kept secrets.
Sakarun Expedition Itinerary
09:30 AM – The Grand Departure
Meet your skipper at Foša (Zadar). Feel the power of the engine as we head toward the northern gates of Dugi Otok.
The Shipwreck Hunt
We stop at Lagnići Islands. Put on your gear and snorkel over the Michelle Shipwreck, a giant resting just below the surface in crystal clear water.
Sakarun, The Lighthouse & Dalmatian Brunch
Experience the best of the north. We’ll cruise past the majestic Veli Rat lighthouse before anchoring in the heart of the Sakarun turquoise lagoon. While you soak in the views, we’ll serve you our famous Dalmatian brunch, hand-cut prosciutto, local island cheese, and olives, paired with chilled drinks. Swim, relax, and feast in paradise.
The Military Mystery & Smooth Return
On our way back, we enter the secret military sea tunnels carved into the island’s cliffs. A hidden piece of Cold War history where submarines and ships once hid—perfect for an eerie and epic photo op.
A scenic cruise back to Zadar as the sun begins its descent, concluding your ultimate island expedition.

Better than the Maldives!
We were debating taking the ferry to Sakarun, but I’m so glad we booked this private expedition instead. Seeing the Michelle shipwreck was surreal—our skipper knew exactly where to drop anchor so we could snorkel right above it before the crowds arrived. The highlight was having that delicious Dalmatian brunch and cold beer while floating in the turquoise lagoon. It felt like we had the whole Adriatic to ourselves. Worth every cent for the privacy and the boat was spotless!

Amazing experience! Highly recommend this tour!
The shipwreck was the highlight of our entire Croatia trip! Far better than the crowded tours. The skipper knew exactly where to go.

The ultimate Zadar experience
If you want to skip the tourist traps and see the real Croatia, this is it. Our captain was a legend, he took us to hidden bays that you can’t find on a map. Entering the military sea tunnels at the end of the day was like being in a movie! The mix of crystal clear swimming spots and the mystery of the tunnels made it the best day of our holiday. Personal, professional, and very fast boat. 10/10 recommendation!”

Great day out
Sakarun is beautiful, but seeing it from our own private speedboat was a game-changer. The boat felt like luxury.
