Superyacht marinas in Croatia: 43 harbours from Istria to Dubrovnik for 24 m and more

Forty-three Croatian harbours publish figures for yachts of 24 metres and more: eight in Istria, four in Kvarner, three around Zadar, nine around Šibenik, 13 around Split and six around Dubrovnik. The largest single figure is 119 metres at ACI marina Umag, but the same operator also gives 60 and 55 metres there.

There is no official Croatian list of berths with sizes. Eleven of the 43 entries are backed at least in part by an authority, such as a port authority, the Official Gazette (Narodne novine) or a national park. The other 32 rely on the marina or its operator.

Which marinas take the largest yachts?

ACI marina Umag gives 119 metres for a daily berth, but its own text says "up to 60m" and its 2026 price list stops at 55 metres. After that come Marina Frapa Dubrovnik (one berth for a yacht of up to 100 metres, the rest up to 50 metres), ACI marina Split (90 metres) and Martinis Marchi on Šolta (80 metres on the outside of the breakwater, 40 metres in the basin, draught 12 metres).

Marina Zadar's tariff runs to 74.99 metres, and larger yachts are possible with the consent of the port authority and the harbour master. D-Marin Dalmacija in Sukošan, D-Marin Mandalina in Šibenik, ACI marina Skradin and Marina Baotić in Seget Donji each give 70 metres. The public west quay in Split (Zapadna obala) has tariff classes up to 120 metres, but no stated maximum.

What do the figures mean?

Max. length is the largest figure a harbour publishes. Almost all marinas give the size of the vessel; ACI usually gives it for a daily berth, with a lower figure for annual berths. Six public harbours (Cavtat, Hvar, Rijeka, Šibenik's Vrulje pier and both basins in Split) publish only tariff classes such as "over 50 m", which tell you that the harbour charges for that size, not how large a yacht may be.

Max. draught is the weakest column: only five of the 43 entries have a figure, and none publishes length, draught and beam together. Where a source gives water depth at the quay, such as the new superyacht pier at Kaštela (2.7 to 14 metres) or quay 15 in Split (4.6 metres), we left the column empty. Max. beam appears only once, as a berth size at Punat. Fuel is confirmed at 12 harbours and ruled out at four; 27 sources do not say. Several ACI marinas only list a fuel station nearby, at distances from 0.05 to 14 nautical miles.

Where do the sources disagree?

Where two figures exist, the table shows one and names the other:

• ACI Umag: 119 metres in the data field, "up to 60m" in the text, 55 metres in the price list.
• ACI Pula: 55 metres, but the Pula port authority writes that yachts shorter than 25 metres can find a berth in the ACI marina, and that yachts are received at the Riječki gat.
• ACI Pomer and ACI Cres: the website and the 2026 price list give different maximum lengths.
• D-Marin Mandalina: 70 metres, but "superyachts up to 60 meters" on the same page.
• Marina Baotić: berths "up to 70 m", but "6–60 m" on the same page.
• Marina Zadar: the tariff is dated December 2023, although the website links it as "2025".

Two warnings: at ACI marina Žut, "the pontoons and the restaurant are temporarily closed until further notice", according to the operator. Marina Kaštela announced the opening of its new superyacht berths for Easter 2026; our source does not confirm it took place.

Where can you clear in?

Since 3 January 2023, Croatia has no seasonal sea border crossings; the list that included Novigrad, Hvar, Korčula, Primošten and the ACI marina in Umag was deleted (Decree NN 1/2023). The EU Schengen Handbook (Annex 4, as of 1 September 2026) lists 13 permanent sea crossings: Rijeka, Ploče, Zadar, Šibenik, Split, Dubrovnik and Raša-Bršica, plus Umag, Pula, Mali Lošinj, Ubli, Vis and Cavtat for passengers only.

We mark only five harbours in our list as clearance ports: the public ports of Rijeka, Pula (Riječki gat), Šibenik (Vrulje pier), Split (city harbour) and Cavtat. The Handbook names the town, not the marina, so marinas in the same town are not marked. Cavtat is listed as permanent in the Handbook, while the Dubrovnik port authority calls it seasonal. This covers border checks for people, not customs. The rules for clearing in are in our guide to Croatian rules for yachts.

Which harbours are not on the list?

Twelve smaller harbours of the Split-Dalmatia port authority (among them Vis, Komiža, Bol, Stari Grad, Trogir, Makarska, Jelsa and Milna) and Gruž and Rab publish only group tariffs, not a berth for a given size, so we left them out. Marina Veruda, Marina Vrsar, Marina Hramina and the Frapa Rogoznica price list blocked automated access or could not be reached. Marina Kornati, Betina, ACI Šimuni, ACI Jezera, ACI Palmižana, Mali Lošinj, Lastovo, Mljet and others showed no berth of 24 metres or more. The Dubrovnik port authority's tariff for Gruž could not be loaded, and the port authorities of Krk, Crikvenica, Novi Vinodolski, Senj and Novalja were not checked.
