Marinas in Croatia

Send request

The Croatian coastline is one of the most indented coastlines in the world. Of the 1242 islands, islets and cliffs, only 47 islands are inhabited. The gentle sea and the Mediterranean climate allow sailing throughout the year, although the season of renting of sailing boats and catamarans starts in the middle of April and lasts until the middle of October, even longer when it comes to regattas.

The marinas in Croatia are located in towns along Croatian coast, which are mostly located near the airport, or in beautiful bays on the islands.

In Croatia, there are more than 56 marinas which together offer 16000 sea berths and 8500 berths on land for sailing boats . Apart from marinas, there are also many private sailing clubs and ports.

In 1983, ACI marina begins with organized building of marinas in the Adriatic. The oldest and the leading chain, consisting of 22 marinas, also hosts our vessels in the most attractive marinas at the Adriatic coast in Dubrovnik , Split and Pomer (Pula) . The majority of the marinas are situated in the Middle and South Adriatic, which is of greatest interest to the yachters. Apart from ACI marinas, there are also privately owned marinas, like marina Baotic in Trogir . They all follow trends and are adjusted to modern needs and wishes of yachters. The marinas, apart from berthing, offer a wide variety of services and facilities such as restaurants, supply shops, yachting equipment stores, showers and laundry.

The daily berth price in marinas changes during seasons and depends on the length of the vessel. The most expensive daily berth is always in the middle of the season (from the middle of June to the end of August). The daily berth prices for a sailing boat are 7€-12€ per meter length per day, depending on the period and the marina. The price of berths for catamarans are mostly charged per length multiplied by 2 . The prices vary from a marina to a marina. The more popular marinas such as Split, Dubrovnik and Palmižana are pricier. Some marinas (such as ACI marina Korčula), which are located further from the land, usually offer promotional discounts for berths during the weekend when the business is slower, for the vessels usually return to their land base. For those who sail One way, or who are lucky enough to be on the sea for more than one week, the weekend is perfect to spend some time in the marinas on islands because they are less crowded.

The annual berth price also depends on the type of marina. The more attractive marinas are usually pricier. The annual berth price for a sailing boat of 10-12 m (32-39 ft.) length is from 3000 EUR to 8000 EUR. For sailing boats of 14-16m (45-52 ft.) length, the annual berth price can amount from 8500 EUR or more.

Apart from the marinas in Croatia mentioned below, there are other moorings in small island places and ports. The mooring prices in some places are significantly lower than the price of berths in a marina, and the prices range from 3 EUR to 6 EUR per meter length of the sailing boat. Some places offer only water and electricity; the others only mooring on buoys in order to minimize the traffic jam in their small ports. The price of buoy mooring or on the shore of the place usually includes collection of garbage. In Croatian national parks such as, for instance on the island of Mljet, the berth price usually includes a ticket for the national park.
