Routesuggestion north

Marina Kremik's position makes for the perfect starting point in the middle of Croatia's most interesting sailing area. The port is an ideal base for sailing in the North Dalmatian archipelago, including Sibenik archipelago and the wonderful National Park Kornati, which is a pure paradise for sailors. In equally comfortable distance lies the larger islands off of Split; Hvar, Brac, Vis and Solta. In one week there simply isn't time to include both, but you can always choose one route and take the second one later. The difference between the routes are mainly due to the difference in landscape of the islands and ports. Islands near Split are larger and more inhabited, with small, cozy towns and major ports with rich culture and history. They also have a wider choice of restaurants and cafés, etc.
Sailing to the north of Kremik means sailing in the archipelago between islets and small islands. The area is mostly uninhabited with the exception of a couple of smaller communities. There are plenty of good anchoring bays and piers with fixed moorings. Almost all of the better coves have a cozy tavern serving delicious specialties.. The area has no fewer than two national parks, Krka and Kornati. In 2009 a ticket to the Kornati park was 250kn when pre-purchasing at Marina Kremik (it is more expensive when purchasing directly at the park). Here you can enjoy great sailing and swimming while spending time together with your family and friends.

Zut is a nautical paradise and one of the islands in the Kornati archipelago. IT lies between the islands of Pasman and Ugljan (which is linked to the mainland). Zut is a long, narrow island and covers an area of nearly 15 square miles and is at most 2 km wide. The highest point is 172 meters above sea level. The island is steep and has a retracted, protected coastline, which is characterized by the sheltered bays Luka Hiljača, Sarušćica, Yellow, Bizikovica and a few less. From there, it feels far to all the amenities and you get the feeling of being on a  Robinson island. Zut is covered with olive, fig trees and vines and has no permanent settlements. The island is regularly used throughout the year by fishermen, small-scale livestock farmers and olive and fig pickers from the island of Murter second Kornatiöar. Zut island has a lovely marina, complete with a good taverna, Restaurant Festa.

Day 3 - Telelasica bay
Zut-Telelasica bay 10nm

Telašćica, is a nature park named after the bay which is located in the southeastern part of Dugi Otok. The bay is about 8 km depth of 1.6 kilometers wide. In Telascica bay are 25 large and small coves, bays, 5 islets. Thanks to its location it is well protected against Gulf storms. Telašćica is one of the largest and best protected bays in the eastern Adriatic coast. It consists of three parts separated by narrower. These three elements are Tripuljak, Farfarikulac and Telašćica. The greater part of the bay bottom is covered with groups of marine flowering plants, marine habitats, and an extraordinary rich wildlife which is essential for the reproduction of many fish species. In view of the beautiful nature we suggest dinner on board.

Day 4 - Ravni Zakan
Telascicaviken-Ravni Zakan approximately 18nm

Ravni Zakan is a real dream place. Nature is enchanting beauty. A beautiful little island with mini-communities on the southern and northern sides. On the north side, the tavern "Laurus" with small buoys that bob outside, where you can moor the boat.
On the south side is also a restaurant which is the largest in Kornatiarkipelagio. This restaurant is well visited by cruise ships and can be quite full during the summer months. The food is absolutely excellent (but quite expensive).
Our guests can pre-book a berth and pay no dues if they eat at the restaurant. However, national park fee must be paid here. 

Day 5 - Kaprije
Ravni Zakan-Kaprije approximately 17nm

Have you seen the Oscar-winning movie Mediterraneo? Would you like to spend some time on a small forgotten island in the middle of now where. The only thing that exists on the island is a small sleepy fishing village that miraculously resisted any development in tourism signs. Kaprije is an island which one is difficult to describe with words. Incredibly beautiful and innocent, especially during early spring and late autumn, when the Adriatic sea is empty of tourists. Totally amazing to wake up in a place as the Nozda bay. Almost so that you yearn for a much more primitive world and a life greater proximity to nature.

Day 6 - Zirije
Kaprije-Zirije approximately 20nm

Having cruised around the Kornati and the Sibenik archipelago, it is time to end the island trip with a visit to the island Zirije. Here is the beautiful bay V. Stupice. V. Stupice is a good anchor bay. There are also solid even buoys that can be used freely. The bay is a wonderful natural harbor with excellent protection and natural beauty. A perfect end goal. In the bay there is a restaurant where one can eat typical, homemade Mediterranean cuisine. Dining experience is not great why you might skip a visit if you do not have to. Sit in the boat and enjoy the food you make yourself insted. The wonderful environment is of course free of charge in any case.

Day 7 - Port

Last night, it is common to check out the boat so that there are no commitments on Saturday mornings because transfer from the port often go early. So check out for some dinner at a cozy local tavern.
