Where are the best charter bases for sailing the Kornati region
Several excellent charter bases provide access to the Kornati region, each offering slightly different advantages depending on the intended itinerary.
Zadar is the most popular starting point for sailors arriving from northern Europe. The city provides easy access to both the Kornati Islands and the surrounding northern Dalmatian islands. Biograd and Sukošan are also well-established charter centres with extensive marina facilities and large charter fleets.
Murter is particularly attractive because of its proximity to Kornati National Park, allowing crews to reach the islands quickly after departure. Šibenik provides another excellent option, combining convenient access to Kornati with opportunities to explore Krka National Park and nearby coastal towns.
