Istrian Coast
The Adriatic coastline with its clear seas, gentle summer climate, quiant villages and historic towns, is a magnificent cruising
area, which reveals as number 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 life style. You can find lonely and romancing mooring places as well as modern microcosmos at the modern and
well equiped ports and marinas of the country. Generous nature has garnished this rich and heterogeneous country with hidden bays,
cliffs, karst, emerald groves, sea straits and vast high seas.
It consists of a wonderful experience for everyone to cascade the coastline of the Adriatic Sea, therefore we propose you to start
your vacation trip either from Pula, which is located on the Istrian coast or from Biograd or Vinisce (near Trogir), cities which
are located in the middle of the Dalmatian coast. Our basis in Pula, Zadar, Murter (Marina Betina), Biograd and Vinisce are in
position to experience the magnificent waters of Croatia. Our yachts in Pula, tied up at the marina Veruda, right in the heart of
Pula, overlooked by the well preserved Roman amphitheatre.
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. Our fleet on Murter is situated in Betina, a small picturesque
place on the island of Murter in Sibensko-kninska County. It was named after the old Celtic word "bet" which means "mouth" and
describes perfectly its location.
Dalmatian Coast
Biograd is the center of the riviera consisting of Petar na Moru (Peter on the Sea), Turanj, Sv. Filip i Jakov (Sts. Philip and James),
Biograd, Pakostane and Drage, as well as several places on the island of Pasman: Tkon, Kraj, Pasman, Barotul, Banj and Zdrelac, and
Vrgada on the island of the same name.
Apart from cultural and historical heritage, Biograd is also characterized by nice beaches, picturesque bays and various accommodation
facilities. The town has a number of restaurants offering specialties of local and international cuisine.
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 with an
archipelago with many islands. Our yachts in the area are located in the marina of Vinisce, a picturesque place in a large wind
protected bay, just 20 km from the airport of Trogir.
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.
