ACI marina Šimuni

ACI Marina Šimuni is situated in the west of Pag Island, in the Maun Channel. It can perhaps be considered to be the north entrance to Dalmatia, as it is the last marina in the Kvarner archipelago. Pag’s seemingly inhospitable landscape offers a different picture to what is usually seen elsewhere in the Adriatic islands – the colours are different here, the rocks’ structure is more peculiar, and the sun shines almost all the year round. A keen-eyed visitor will discover a veritable treasure-trove of history, culture, and food, as well as all the little things which the hard-working islanders toiled to create in order to survive in a unique environment – and to make it comfortable to live in.

Approach

In daytime a chapel to the southeast of the village serves as a landmark, and during the night the approach is marked by a green lighthouse on the southern tip of the entrance (Fl G 3s 7m 3M). The exact position of the lighthouse is 44°27.8’ N 14°57.5’ E. After passing the lighthouse, keep to the middle of the channel until the marina is sighted. There is a shoal on the western side of the entrance to the marina, and therefore the middle of the bay should be kept to when entering it. When approaching at night or in bura winds, it is advisable to head for a berth in the north-eastern sector of the marina.
