The Šibenik area of the Croatian Adriatic is a true sailor's paradise. This area is most densely packed with islands and islets, and it is located between two national parks, Kornati in the south and Krka in the north. This area would be an interesting sailing route even if it weren't for the national parks, thanks to the abundant coastal archipelago beginning with Murter and ending off the coast of Rogoznica. The vicinity of such a large number of islands makes the Šibenik area attractive for smaller boats. Another entry on the long list of reasons to visit the Šibenik area is the old city of Šibenik itself, whose Cathedral of St. James and newly renovated forts leave visitors from around the world breathless. However, this is just the beginning of the enchantment you will experience in the Šibenik area. From its exquisite gastronomy, traditional local wines, rich art history, to the archaeological sites from the Roman era located in the vicinity of the coast - there is something for everyone. This is why it is no surprise that the nautical infrastructure in this area is on the highest level. The numerous marinas in the Šibenik area offer top-quality services for sailors who visit them gladly.
If we could choose only one sailing route, it would definitely be the one visiting the Kornati archipelago. These islands of unprecedented beauty are often chosen by visitors as the place to spend their entire holiday. The almost lake-like setting of the archipelago, completely sheltered by the island of Kornat on its north, will enable you to explore the innumerable protected coves and moorings while enjoying sailing around many islets and through passages between them. In nearly all of the marinas you can find the traditional konobas by the sea, offering local food from
the sea and from the island pastures, where you will often see herds of sheep. The sandy beach in the Lojena cove on the Levrnaka island, steep cliffs on the southern sides of the outer islands and the blue lagoon of the Žakan island are only a few of the most famous attractions in Kornati. Next to the Kornati archipelago is the island of Žut, popular among sailors who use it as a home base for visiting Kornati, while the towns of Murter and Betina preserve the maritime and ship-building traditions. Another interesting route in the Šibenik area is visiting the Krka National Park and sailing to the town of Skradin via the eponymous river, which enters the sea through the St. Anthony Channel protected by the St. Nicholas Fortress. The city of Šibenik is located at the end of the channel, and the Krka river (which you are already sailing on when you are in Šibenik) continues towards the north, entering Skradin through lake Prokljan. You can then enter the national park either on the park's boat, or by hiking the 4km trail. Seeing Skradinski buk, the first and most beautiful of the Krka waterfalls, cascading over the tufa barriers will help you understand why visitors
from around the world flock to this national park. We would like to add that this is just the beginning: you can continue the pleasant journey on this river, whose Roški slap waterfall, Visovac island monastery, or the rarely visited Manojlovac waterfall are places of indescribable beauty - all accessible to sailors. Moreover, the beautiful karstic river Krka is exceptionally warm in the summer months, so swimming in it is a welcome addition to sea activities. This is precisely why Skradin is swarming with people in the summer months, which contributed to the development of its gastronomical offer: scallops and the Skradin risotto are particularly delightful. The coastal part of the Šibenik archipelago is easily accessible to vessels since its most prominent island, Žirje, is located only 12 nautical miles from the coast. The sheltered moorings and small island and coastal towns live life to the fullest, and sailing has stolen their hearts. Whether you set your course south towards central Dalmatia or north towards the Zadar archipelago, you are sure to find safe mooring and beautiful authentic Mediterranean vistas.
HIDDEN ROUTES
Thanks to its waters being easily accessible to all vessels, the Šibenik archipelago isn't a place where you can easily encounter completely peaceful areas. However, the most persistent sailors will find a nook to enjoy the isolation and beautiful nature. Such tranquillity can be found in the few coves on the northern side of the Kornat island and the southern coasts of Žut. Tetovišnjak is an uninhabited island which offers a beautiful beach on its eastern cape, sheltered from the western winds. The same applies to the eastern area of the island of Zlarin, as well as a series of little islets spreading to the north towards the nearby Grebaštica. A visit to the lighthouses in the area, especially Blitvenica on the open sea, is a good idea in nice weather. Although it is by no means hidden, the museum honouring the Croatian inventor Faust Vrančić on the Prvić island is rarely visited by sailors.
