Explore Sunken Ship Michelle at Veli Rat

Immerse yourself in a unique underwater adventure and visit one of the most famous snorkeling spots on Dugi Otok, the Shipwreck of the Italian commercial ship Michelle. What makes this sunken ship special is her location and her mysterious story.

On 11th June 1983, the 76m long ship got stranded on a sandy seabed on the northern cape of Dugi Otok. It is partially submerged and therefore easy to observe and find even while snorkeling.

One legend has it that Michelle got stranded in a massive storm, leaving her stranded near Veli Rat forever, but luckily there were no casualties. Another legend claims the captain sank the ship to collect insurance funds. The truth may never be known.

Michelle got stranded in the shallows, and part of her is still visible above the sea surface, which means this shipwreck is easily accessible. You can enjoy sunken ship snorkelling in the Zadar archipelago, surrounded by wild fish, corals and a variety of marine species on the Dugi Otok Boat tour or Zadar to Sakarun boat tour.

In the surroundings of the wreck, you will discover a lot of equipment and accessories such as computers, and dishes. Access to this diving site is only possible by boat. A wreck of 25m long Ledenik is in very good condition, situated on a port, and can be explored to a great extent.
