Croatia
The adriatic coastline with its clear seas, gentle summer climate, quaint villages and historic towns, is a magnificent cruising area, which reveals croatia as the no. 1 area for water sports.

The 5000 km long coastline is sheltered by chains of the 700 islands, amongst which there are many anchorages and harbours. Croatia feats to every seafarer lifestyle. You can find lonely and romancing mooring places as well as modern microcosms at the modern and well-equipped ports and marinas of the country. Generous nature has garnished this rich and heterogeneous country with hidden bays, beaches, cliffs, karst, emerald groves, sea straits and vast high seas.


It is a wonderful experience for everyone to cascade the coastline of the Adriatic sea. Therefore, we propose you start your vacation trip either from Pula — which is located on the Istrian coast — or from Zadar or Split — cities which are located in the middle of Dalmation coast. Our bases in Pula, Zadar and Split are in position to offer you every facility in order to experience the magnificent waters of Croatia. Our yachts in Pula tie up at the marina veruda right in the heart of Pula, overlooked by the well-preserved roman amphitheater.

A visit to Pula has to be one of the highlights of a cruise along the Istrian coast. Pula is open throughout the year as a port of entry. The marina has water and electricity supplied to all pontoons, toilets, showers, restaurant and parking. Zadar is a busy town and harbour with a number of interesting museums and old buildings. There are excellent facilities for yachts at the marina, which is located in the new port.

Starting from Zadar, you can visit the Kornati islands. They are a group of islands, islets, rocks, reefs and shoals, which lie within 11 miles of the mainland coast but run parallel to the mainland. The Kornati islands and islets number over a hundred but the exact number is debatable. They are mostly rocky consisting of shell limestone, having no surface streams but only a thin covering of grass. Nowadays, there are no permanent settlements on the islands, only a few houses, which are occupied seasonally by fishermen and farmers. The Kornati islands are now designated as a national park, and several marinas are being built.
Because of its central position on the eastern coast of the Adriatic sea, the district of Split and Dalmatia has always an extraordinary, cultural and historical role. This entire rounded area consists of a wide hinterland and a coastal belt whit an archipelago with many islands.

The city of split is not only built within and around the fortified roman palace — much of the palace still stands today — but also it has many fine buildings, churches and museums which are worth to visit.

Weather & Wind
The main seasons in the adriatic are summer and winter. Spring and autumn are transitional periods rather than true seasons as experienced in temperature regions. In this area the spring transitional period occurs in April/May, and the transition to winter in October. During summer months winds are usually light over the whole Adriatic, averaging force 2 or 3 and rarely reaching high forces.
