Pula is the largest city at the tip of Croatia’s Istrian Peninsula. It is renowned for its protected harbor that attracts many sailing enthusiasts and is a common starting point for a yacht charter in Istria. Besides its strategic location, it is one of the few cities in the world which features a well preserve Amphitheatre (Arena) built in the 1st century BC. In the past, the Arena was used for gladiator fights. Today, the Arena is an important monument and center of cultural events. The Arch of the Sergii, the Twin Gates, and the small Roman Theater are ancient Roman buildings that feed the rich itinerary of its three-thousand-year-old history. Like Rome, Pula sits on the seven hills. At the top of the central hill is the citadel (Kastel), home to the Historical and Maritime Museum of Istria, which chronicles all the dark periods of Pula’s history. Once you have walked through the city and acquainted yourself with the detailed history of the city, you can head to one of the most natural harbors in the Adriatic in Pula Bay. By renting a boat in Pula you can cruise the indented and lengthy coast, full of bays, coves, and crystal clear waters.

With your boat trip in Pula, you have the option to enjoy a day cruise to the Brijuni Islands or Cape Kamenjak, which both offer excellent opportunities for swimming and snorkeling. The Cape of Kamenjak is further south along the indented shoreline and hides within the Premantura Peninsula. You can enjoy a panoramic ride with a catamaran or speedboat and take in the views of the resort lines along the unspoiled rocky coast. If you rent a motor yacht in Pula, you will experience the joy of paddling through the stunning scenery of Kamenjak and swim in clear waters among diverse sea life. You can follow the coast to the sea caves, which open to turquoise waters and unique rock formations.
