Your complete guide to marinas in Split

24th Oct 2018

Split is the perfect starting base for your yacht charter, as you can sail north to Kornati Islands National Park or south to Brac, Hvar and Dubrovnik. Don’t miss the Zlatni Rat beach at Brac, the stunning Blue Cave at Vis or the breathtaking waterfall at Krka National Park. We also recommend you spend some time looking at Split itself, with its historical architecture and rich culture, including UNESCO World Heritage Site, Diocletian Palace, built for a Roman emperor at the turn of the fourth century. We’ve included a seven-day itinerary below, but visit our page on Split for more inspiration. Browse our Croatia deals on our price comparison tool and book now.

With the turquoise Adriatic as a backdrop and a sailing ground bursting with gorgeous islands to explore, Croatia is a sailor’s favourite. It’s always handy to plan a little ahead of your charter and we’ve put together a guide to local marinas for a yacht charter from Split.

You’ll find narrow pontoons in the main part of the marina and a shop that offers basic provisions. There are well stocked supermarkets within walking distance, as well as plenty of bars and restaurants. You might want to give driving through town a miss, as the traffic is very heavy and you’ll use up your valuable time in traffic jams.

Exclusive to the Sunsail and The Moorings charter companies, the marina has a supermarket which closes early on Sunday and it’s busy, so we recommend pre-provisioning. Although it’s quite far from Trogir and Split, it’s only 20 minutes from the airport and you’ll find restaurants and bars in the town.

Primosten, Croatia

This large marina has good facilities but lacks a little in the way of atmosphere. Make sure you provision in Primosten, which you can get to by taxi.

Šibenik, Croatia

You’ll find a small shop in the marina but will need to get a taxi to the supermarket. The marina is inland and a great location for the Kornati Islands or Skradin waterfalls. You can also reach Sibenik by a taxi or water ferry.
