Marina Punat

Marina Punat, the oldest marina in Croatia, founded in 1964.[1]

Almost 50 years ago the marina developed from the rich shipbuilding tradition, under the auspice of one of the oldest shipyards working with wood (Punat Shipyard was founded in 1922). It is situated in a naturally protected Punat bay, where, since 1984 the international Regatta “Croatia Cup” has been organised annually. It was the first marina on the eastern coast of the Adriatic.

In the beginning the marina had 10 berths on one wooden pier. Today it is a modern nautical port with over 1200 ships. Marina Punat was the first Croatian marina to which the “Blue Flag” acknowledgement for high quality of service and conserved environment was awarded. This recognition is annually awarded and Marina Punat has been the “Blue Flag” bearer consecutively since 1998. In addition the marina, as the only marina on the Adriatic, has a quality system certified according to the standard ISO 9001:2008, in the area of nautical tourism services, and according to the standard ISO 14001 for the protection and preservation of the environment.

Marina Punat offers 850 sea berths and has 500 places ashore.[1] Motorboats up to 10 m in length are located in the dry dock Brodica.

The marina offers a wide range of services intended for boaters and sailors ranging from ship repair services and boat renting to supply and gastronomic offer.

Marina Punat has won a number of significant awards and has been acknowledged many times as the best Croatian marina. In 2014, Croatian Chamber of Economy named Marina Punat the best large marina in Croatia.[2]
