Zadar

Zadar is a coastal city which owes its growth to its people and its surroundings. The advantage of having a small airport makes it easier to arrive there and quickly hop on board of your sailing boat in Croatia. Zadar offers almost the same number of boats as Split, the marinas are modern and the biggest marina on the east side of the Adriatic is here.

What we said about Sibenik also applies to Zadar, with numerous islands just in 20 NM range everything is reachable so enjoy your sailing around Zadar. Zadar is the perfect starting point if you want to see the islands which are in North Dalmatia. Here you will find one of the prettiest bays called Saharun Bay on the island of Dugi Otok. You can reach the Kornati National Park from the upper side and for you, to charter a sailing yacht here, means you can easily cover the SE route towards Sibenik or you can set your course to see the islands of Rab, Krk, Cres, Mali Losinj and lots of small islands in the area. If you have enough time, stay here for two weeks and leisurely sail up to Istria and come back to Zadar after the charter is finished. If you sail through each Croatian sailing area at a time, after five years you might think you have covered everything. We have been sailing for more than fifteen years and still can’t decide which part is our favorite. Every sailing area has its advantages for a certain period of the year. Gastronomically saying, the North and the South are very different and not to mention Istria and Kvarner.
