Day 1: Zadar - Sutomiscica

Marina Zadar will be the first stop on this route. First, prepare the yacht for the cruise, familiarize yourself with the equipment, and discuss important details with the manager. After everything is accomplished, you’ll have time left to take a walk and explore Zadar.


The history of Zadar consists of a chain of conquests, destructions, and restorations. You can see traces of many eras everywhere you look: ruins of the Ancient Roman forum, the Church of Virgin Mary in Roman style, Byzantine era Orthodox churches, and the Loggia from the time of the Venetian rule. The city’s advantageous location on the Adriatic Sea coast, mild climate, and numerous islands in the vicinity made it highly desirable land.

Today you should visit Zadar for its Old Town, Široka Street, and the Church of St. Donatus, which has become the symbol of Zadar. The Sea Organ built in 2005 adds some modernity to the local architecture; each time it creates a unique melody with sounds made by underwater pipes. Zadar hosts many festivals and concerts all year round, most of which take place in summer.


Sutomišćica is a small port village on the eastern end of Ugljan Island. One of the most up-to-date and busy marinas in Croatia is located here, but the village is very quiet and serene with just slightly more than 300 inhabitants. A spacious harbour, national restaurants, a splendid view of Zadar, and clean beaches welcome yachtsmen to this village.
