Protected national park: the Kornati Islands
The fee structure for the national park has been changed

The archipelago of offshore islands is one of Croatia's most popular sailing areas and is visited by tens of thousands of crews every year. Most people know the procedure with the national park rangers, who either come alongside at the entrance to the area or at the anchorages to collect the entrance fee. From now on, the basis of calculation will change for them

Whereas previously the national park fee was payable per person on board, it is now a flat rate per boat. It is staggered according to the length of the yacht and is payable on a daily basis. Admission is still significantly cheaper if the ticket is not paid for in the park, but is purchased in advance in a marina or from a licensed charter company.
With the new regulation, admission for yachts with a large crew will be significantly cheaper, while smaller crews, especially couples with their own yacht, will have to dig deeper into their pockets. More information on advance booking offices and prices on the official website of the national park.

Boat length ticket in the park in advance

up to 9 m 200 kn (approx. 27 Euro) 120 kn
9-11 m 250 kn (approx. 34 Euro) 150 kn
11-14 m 300 kn (approx. 41 Euro) 200 kn
14-18 m 400 kn (approx. 55 Euro) 240 kn
