For years, the sunken "Contessa" shipwreck in Nečujm was the go-to spot for snorkelers in Dalmatia. But as the 2026 season kicks off, we have some news: The ship has been removed. While other tour operators might still take you to an empty bay out of habit, we decided to do something better. We didn’t want to give our guests "less"—we wanted to give you more.
That is why we are proud to be the first in Supetar to pivot our route to the incredible Via Crucis Underwater Museum in Jelinak Bay. Here is why this change is actually the best thing that could happen to your boat trip.
Out with the Old, In with the Art
The old shipwreck was interesting, but it often got crowded and the water could get murky. The Underwater Museum is a completely different world. Imagine 52 life-sized statues submerged in a crystal-clear "silent gallery."
Why it’s a massive upgrade:
The "Instagram" Factor: A sunken ship is cool, but a formation of statues on the seabed looks like something out of a movie. Your photos will be the highlight of your vacation.
Crystal Clear Visibility: Jelinak Bay is famous for its transparency. You don’t need to be a pro diver; even with a simple snorkeling mask, you can see every detail of the underwater art.
Perfect for Everyone: The statues are placed at depths of 4 to 12 meters, making it safe and visible for kids and amateur snorkelers.
Be a Trendsetter, Not a Tourist
In travel, there are those who follow the old maps and those who find the new ones. By joining our Blue Lagoon & Underwater Museum tour, you are choosing the latter.
We’ve timed this route perfectly. We start with the history of Trogir, dive into the Underwater Museum, relax in the Blue Lagoon, and finish with a quiet swim in a hidden Brač bay. It’s a 4-stop journey that offers more variety than any other half-day trip on the market.
Why Book With Us?
Since we are currently the only ones in Supetar focusing on this unique underwater attraction, we ensure a premium experience. Whether you’re on our Colnago 34 or our Scanner fleet, you’ll be traveling in style on the most stable boats available.
The verdict is in: The shipwreck might be history, but the Underwater Museum is the future.
