Croatia

- As part of the ‘Sigurna plovidba 2026’ operation, 382 inspections were carried out in 8 hours, 182 offences were detected and fines totalling 79,208.49 euros were imposed.
- Checks covered, amongst other things, vessel documentation, crew numbers, certificates of competency, passenger numbers, charter regulations, CIMIS reports and wastewater discharges.
- The operation exceeded the results from 2025 (355 inspections, 133 offences) and, in addition to imposing penalties, also served to promote prevention and raise awareness of maritime safety.

Croatia: Major enforcement operation in the Adriatic – 182 offences and €79,000 in fines

- In Vinišće Bay, men on the ‘Port Authority’ boat collect anchorage fees without using buoys, threaten to impose a 500-euro fine and issue only handwritten receipts.
- Legally, an anchorage fee may be charged in the Vinišće harbour area, but payments must be electronically recorded and verifiable via a QR code receipt.
- Experts advise contacting the harbour master’s office or the maritime police if there is no identification, price list or electronic receipt; suspicions of fraud remain unresolved.

- Korčula is a historic port city in southern Dalmatia, featuring imposing city walls, Venetian palaces and a sheltered natural harbour.
- The island bears traces of Greek, Roman, Venetian, French, British, Austrian and Yugoslav rule, and has been part of Croatia since 1991.
- ACI Marina and the town harbour offer moorings; the old town, St Mark’s Cathedral, vineyards, bathing coves and sites associated with Marco Polo are all well worth a visit.

- Vis was a restricted military area for decades and was therefore largely spared from mass tourism.  
- The island offers old fishermen's houses, bays, clear water, historic buildings and a diverse cultural heritage.  
- There are sheltered harbours for crews in Vis and Komiža with moorings, buoys, infrastructure and a marked harbour entrance.

- Kvarner offers sheltered bays, lively places such as Mali Lošinj and Ilovik as well as clear rules for anchoring and protecting seagrass beds.  
- Harbours such as Rab and Krk are being expanded with new piers, breakwaters and jetties to improve protection at Jugo and create more guest berths.  
- Charter from Marina Punat: 37 sailing yachts, Beneteau 41.1 from 1,100 €/week; skippers need SBF See, radio licence in the crew and good knowledge of Bora, Jugo, Maestral.

Croatia: Kvarner - insider tip in the north

- Kvarner Bay offers many quiet anchorages, reliable winds and is closer, less crowded and cheaper than southern Dalmatia.  
- An area with numerous islands, bays and highlights such as Plavnik, Cres, Rab, Luka Pod Sv. Križ and the historic Osor Channel.  
- Arrival by car, flight or motorail; charter base in Punat, good infrastructure, but careful trip planning necessary due to bora and other winds.

YACHT 9/2026: Adriatic cruise, ghost ship and Herrmann's new "Malizia"

- From 2030, numerous marina licences will expire in Croatia, while at the same time new marinas and extensive harbour expansions are being built.  
- Projects range from high-tech security in Punat, new berths in Krk, Baška and Molum Marine Club, among others, to delayed projects such as Porto Baroš.  
- For the time being, Montenegro and Albania remain refuelling destinations with tax-free diesel, which is expected to be phased out by 2030 when both countries join the EU.

Croatia: Reviernews from the Adriatic Sea

- Croatia remains a top charter destination, but the sharp rise in costs for moorings, buoys, national parks and conobas has made cruising significantly more expensive.
- Despite inflation, the Adriatic is the cheapest charter area in the Mediterranean thanks to a growing charter fleet (4,718 boats, 100 companies).
- Crews save money with full catering from the port of departure, anchoring in free bays and tricks such as konoba moorings in the N. P. Kornati to reduce parking fees.
