By renting a motorboat, you can tour various beaches along the coastline or visit nearby destinations, such as Pag, in a short amount of time. You can also hire a luxury yacht and sail through the Kornati islands and Telašćica Nature Park at a decent price.

Zadar is a well-known city, located in central Dalmatia, which has a lot to offer. Croatia’s Adriatic coast is centered around two important maritime regions. The city of Split is the largest and the city of Zadar second, with a port and highway network that can easily be reached by air, road, or sea.

Rent a yacht from the port of Zadar and explore the hidden gems of the Adriatic. Bibinje is a coastal town, only 7 km away from Zadar, offering the perfect opportunity to swim, snorkel, or kayak. You can also begin your day cruise here, since it occupies one of the most capacious marinas in the Adriatic. Nin is the oldest royal city in Croatia, while being only 14 km northwest of Zadar. You can enjoy a day trip to Queen's Beach, which is very family-friendly, with shallow waters, stretching 3 km long. In the same vicinity, the lagoon is known to have “peloid”, or differently known as mud with fantastic healing properties. If you want to rent a yacht in Zadar without a license, Biograd, Pakostane, and Sukosan are excellent cruising grounds. Pine Beach in Pakostane is a sandy beach, offering special moments for children who want to enjoy kayaking, diving, and windsurfing. Dječji raj beach is also a paradise for younger age groups who want to try out pedaling or entertain themselves with water sport activities.
With so many beautiful destinations and islands around, you can even arrange a two-day trip with a motor yacht and always have the flexibility to refuel by the coast or the visiting port. Pag island is a great two-day itinerary from Zadar, known for its parties and dotted with super clubs in Zrce beach. Having your motor yacht there, you will most certainly have a thrilling experience. The Kornati islands are just two hours, but it’s even less if you rent a motor yacht; it’s a favorite holiday destination for many sailors, families with children, and more mature visitors. There are sandy beaches, year-round warm weather conditions, and various types of corals and fish by the seabed, certainly making it a pleasurable cruise with a yacht. Besides being a place with excessive natural beauty, it is a nautical paradise. One can rent a yacht in Zadar without a license to visit it. For a panoramic view, a stop by Fort Tureta is the best place, having a view of all the islands, and will have you reaching for your camera. The Telašćica Nature Park on the southeastern part of the island of Dugi Otok has some of the best-kept secrets of the Adriatic. There are 13 islands that surround the bay; once you come near, you will pass by cliffs that rise up 200 m above the sea and even spot dolphins below. There are numerous caves and coves, and that’s where you will find many motor yachts trying to claim their territory for complete isolation and privacy.
A yacht charter in Zadar will leave you returning home with the experience of a lifetime. One can visit the island of Dugi Otok on the north-western coast and enjoy the crystal-clear waters of Sakarun, which easily hits the top 10 best beaches of Croatia. For an alluring mix of old town, busy bars, and pristine beaches, you can head to Rab island. Not too far from Rab, you can visit Mali Losinj, famous for its lush green vegetation and strong fleet in the Adriatic. You can also head to Krk, the biggest island of Croatia, Cres, and many more islands within the Kvarner Gulf. With a skipper, you will navigate areas with ease and comfort, making it a preferable advantage for inexperienced sailors who want to visit far-reaching destinations, such as Pula by the Istrian coast.
