Rogac Port, Šolta Island
The Rogač Port is located in the northern part of the Šolta Island, in a pretty bay surrounded by beautiful nature, only 9 nautical miles (16 km) from Split. Rogač is the island's main connection with mainland, espacially for the inhabitants of Grohote - a nearby town, which is the oldest and the largest settlement on the island of Šolta. It is also an ideal destination for yachtsmen and everyone who enjoys the island life and spending time in beautiful natural sorroundings.
The bay of Rogač has three branches: Kasjun, Banje and Rogač. The bay of Kasjun is situated in the western part of the bay and is sheltered by a small wooded peninsula. The middle bay is Rogač, the best secluded bay with a dock for ferries and catamarans, which sail from Split and back several times a day. The bay of Banje is situated in the southern part of the island of Šolta, ending with a pebbled beach, which is great for children. A short promenade from Rogač leads toward this bay.
The sea in the bay is clean and clear, so you can take a swim immediatly when you arrive to the base and wait for your sailing boat/catamaran to be ready for embarkation. The bay is not too big and only a few steps away from the beach, a coffee bar, and a pizza place, from where you can enjoy the view of traditional Dalmatian stone houses, the Church of St. Theresa, etc.
The old town of Grohote is situated only fifteen minutes on foot from Rogač. It has a grocery store where the guests can do their shopping before their sailing trip. Visiting Grohote is strongly advised as well as the gallery of the naive painter Eugen Buktenica, and to stroll through vineyards and olive-groves toward the church of St. Michael.
The whole bay of Rogač is well secluded from winds - the only exception is the northern wind, especially Bora (NE), but mostly during the winter months.
