Zadar Yacht Charter
Where Roman ruins meet the world’s most famous sunset. Zadar is the boutique alternative for those who seek the raw beauty of the Kornati National Park and the turquoise river canyons of Krka.
Stepping into Zadar is a journey into a world where ancient Roman history meets modern acoustic wonder. While Split is grand and Hvar is glamorous, Zadar is authentic. It is a city defined by its relationship with the water—home to the world-famous Sea Organ, a monumental architectural instrument that uses the power of the Adriatic waves to create a haunting, harmonic soundtrack for the city’s waterfront.
As the gateway to Northern Dalmatia, Zadar offers a sailing experience unlike any other in Croatia. It is the definitive starting point for those who wish to trade the social energy of the south for the raw, untamed beauty of the Kornati Archipelago and the dramatic river canyons of Krka.

The Gateway to the Wild North
Logistically, Zadar is the smart traveler’s choice. With its own international airport (ZAD) located just 15 minutes from the marina, you can be on your yacht’s deck within an hour of landing. From here, the Adriatic opens into a nautical labyrinth of over 300 islands, most of which remain uninhabited.
Whether you are seeking the Caribbean-white sands of Saharun Beach, the 160-meter cliffs of Dugi Otok, or a secluded lobster dinner in a hidden Kornati cove, Zadar is the boutique hub that provides immediate access to the Adriatic’s most pristine secrets.
High Tide Tip:
Don't miss the sunset in Zadar. Alfred Hitchcock famously claimed it was the most beautiful in the world. Plan to be on your flybridge or at the Sea Organ exactly 20 minutes before dusk to experience the light show and the harmonic sounds of the waves.

The "Canyons & Crowns" Itinerary: 7-Day Zadar / Skradin Loop
A yacht charter from Zadar is a journey into the most ecologically diverse region of the Adriatic. While the south is known for its social energy, the north is defined by its dramatic landscapes—from the white-stone "crowns" of the Kornati islands to the emerald-green river canyons that lead inland.
The Gateway: Choosing Your Marina
Zadar offers several elite embarkation points, each providing quick access to the islands:
- Marina Tankerkomerc: Located in the heart of the city, perfect for those who want to hear the Sea Organ and explore the Roman Forum before setting sail.
- D-Marin Dalmacija (Sukošan): Just 10 minutes south of Zadar, this is the largest marina in Croatia. It offers world-class facilities and is the most strategic starting point for heading straight into the Kornati National Park.
- Marina Borik: A boutique, quiet option located in the northern part of the city, ideal for a tranquil start to your journey.
Navigating the National Parks
The Zadar region is unique because it allows you to combine two of Croatia’s most famous National Parks in a single week:
- Kornati National Park: A labyrinth of 89 islands where "civilization" feels like a distant memory. This is where you come for pure sailing, secluded anchorages, and world-class seafood konobas that are only accessible by boat.
- Krka National Park: Unlike any other Mediterranean experience, you can sail your yacht through the St. Anthony Channel and up the winding Krka River to Skradin. From here, a short boat ride takes you to the base of the spectacular Skradinski Buk waterfalls.
Sailing Conditions
The Zadar archipelago is protected by the "Long Island" (Dugi Otok), which acts as a natural breakwater. This creates a "sailing playground" with flat water and reliable afternoon breezes, making it the premier choice for those who want to focus on the art of sailing or families looking for a smooth, comfortable ride.
