The beautiful and crystal clear sea has long been a recognizable symbol of Croatia. The indented coast is an impressive 1,777 km long, and when we include the Croatian islands, that number exceeds 6,000 km. The uniqueness of the Croatian coast has created an ideal environment for enthusiasts of the nautical lifestyle.
With 56 beautiful marinas along the coast, Croatia offers extraordinary opportunities for unforgettable sailing and sea experiences. In addition to the mooring itself and boat maintenance, marinas provide a wide range of other facilities and services such as restaurants, bars, showers, parking, shops, and much more, thus forming a nautical complex. Nautical tourism in Croatia represents a significant branch of the economy, so the level of service is raised year after to adapt to modern requirements.
