Marinas in Croatia
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 Dalmatian coastal towns, which are mostly located near the airport, or in beautiful bays on the islands.
In Croatia, there are 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 for members only.
ACI marina begins with organized building of marinas in the Adriatic. The oldest and the leading chain, consisting of 21 marinas, also hosts our vessels in the most attractive marinas at the Adriatic coast in Dubrovnik, Trogir and Split. 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. 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 of 10-12 m (32-38 ft.) length are from 60-90 EUR.
The daily berth prices for sailing boats of 14-16 m (45-52 ft.) length are from 90-130 EUR, depending on the period and the marina.
The price of berths for catamarans are mostly charged per length multiplied by 1.5. The prices vary from a marina to a marina.
The more popular marinas such as Split, Dubrovnik and Palmizana are pricier. Some marinas (such as ACI marina Korcula), 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.
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 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.
Anchorage
Anchoring is possible in lot of bays, but please take care about the signs where is forbidden it is clearly signed. Always take care how local boats are anchored so you can see on which wind the bay is open. If plants and trees grow near the sea it is a sign that the place might be good for anchorage. If you are looking for quiet places for day swimming and maybe night anchoring where no one will charge you there is lots of places on your way but try to avoid them if it is not good weather forecast.
The best place to have swimming in clean first of last day of your charter is south side of Brač (Uvala Osibova, Uvala Maslinova or Lucice) or south side of Solta (uvala Livka, uvala Tatinja).
Anchoring in National park Mljet will be charged but it includes entrance tickets to National park and 2 day stay and taking trash.
Restaurant's moorings
Some smaller places offer buoy free of charge but will expect to have at least drink in his restaurant (owners of restaurants usually have concession)for example:
Sesula (Island Solta)- Sismis Bar
Lučica (Island Brac)
Moster or Veli Porat - Island Scedro
Okuklje (Island Mljet ) - restaurant Maestral
Gradina (entrance in Vela Luka) - restaurant Siloko
Zaklopatica (Island Lastovo) - restaurant Augusta Insula
In Croatian national parks such as, for instance on the island of Mljet, the berth price usually includes a ticket for the national park.
