Unforgettable yachting holidays in Zadar area
Zadar is a perfect base for catamaran charter in central Dalmatia. Board in Zadar, Sukošan, or Biograd. The first island hops are short and protected. The Kornati and Telašćica parks sit within easy reach. Expect clear water, stone villages, and a historic city with the Sea Organ and Roman Forum.
Choose bareboat or a crewed catamaran. Our local team plans routes, moorings, and national park permits. Summer brings a steady Maestral in the afternoon. Watch the Bora from the northeast and Jugo from the south outside protected bays. In high season, reserve buoys and berths and arrive early.

What you can expect to see
Zadar Archipelago and Ugljan–Pašman
Make your first stop in Preko or Kukljica for a short, calm day. Swim in quiet coves on the east sides of Ugljan and Pašman. Use the channels with care and follow local rules. Most catamarans avoid the Ždrelac bridge and route around the southern tip. Stop in Vrgada for a sandy bay and a slow island rhythm. These legs are easy for families and mixed crews.
Dugi Otok and Telašćica Nature Park
Sail to Sali for a safe harbor and supplies. Enter Telašćica for one of the most protected bays on the Adriatic. Buy park tickets at the kiosk or online. Walk to the Mir salt lake and the high cliffs for sunset views. On the west side, visit Sakarun when seas are calm. Plan arrivals by early afternoon when the breeze builds. Nights here are quiet with bright stars.
Kornati and Žut
Head south into the Kornati National Park for a maze of islets and limestone hills. Purchase tickets in advance for better rates. Pick up mooring buoys in Levrnaka, Opat, or Strunac, then dine at a waterside konoba. Continue to Žut for sheltered bays and simple services. Keep an eye on forecast shifts. The islands are open to wind and require good anchoring practice. This route delivers wild scenery and classic Adriatic sailing.
