Pirovac is a picturesque small town located 20 km south from Biograd nm. It's a small, well known fishermen's village with a protected port, where a beautiful modern marina was built a couple of years ago. Despite being small, the marina is equipped with all the necessary facilities, and you can find a supermarket, pharmacy, bank, ATM, restaurants, as well as many coffee shops, nearby. This means that you can find everything you need in the marina or its vicinity.

Shorter check-in time is definitely a great advantage in this marina. But, if it so happens that you must wait until afternoon hours, we recommend you go on a trip to Krka National Park or Vrana Lake, which are both near the marina.

If you are still wondering where you should set your sails from the marina in Pirovac, do not worry – we did that part of the job for you. Here is a list of the top five places to include in your sailing route:

1. Vrgada – The second name – Golden Island –

was given to Vrgada because of the golden colour of its sandy beaches that stretch along the island. It is an ideal place for all visitors who want to escape summer crowds on the coast, and enjoy the quiet and clear sea. As there are no cars on Vrgada and you can only reach it by boat, the peaceful and calming atmosphere on this island is guaranteed. During summer months, several shops and restaurants are open, but it is still one of the most peaceful destinations on the Adriatic. The local population is small, with about 150 people living on the island in winter, mostly fishermen's families. Because of this, Vrgada is an excellent destination to visit on your sailing route.

2. Kornati –

The natural labyrinth of stone-covered bare islands is ideal for those who know and want to truly enjoy sailing. This beautiful Croatian national park consists of 89 islands and islets, hiding thousands of quiet and hidden bays, several top restaurants, where you can eat local delicacies and enjoy the breath-taking scenery. There is no electricity and water on the islands that are part of the national park, and they are mostly uninhabited. The Kornati National Park is also known as a paradise for sailors because of its ideal weather conditions, location and density of the islands, but also its intact natural formations. We suggest you take a few days to explore the Kornati Islands, as we are sure that this archipelago will truly delight you.

3. Drvenik Veli –

Another fantastic place to visit from Marina Pirovac. This island is located northwest of the island of Šolta, and could be your perfect place to rest and swim during the day. The Blue Lagoon is a bay situated on the east side of the island, not far away from the islands Krknjaši Veli and Krknjaši Mali, suitable for anchoring and enjoying the turquoise blue sea all day long. The clear blue sea and greenery on this island are the perfect recipe for another joyful day on board. If the weather forecast for the night is not favourable, and you cannot spend the night at anchor, the Maslinica Marina –a safe harbour for an overnight stay – on the island of Šolta is close by. You will also be able to go for a morning walk through Maslinica or explore this beautiful Croatian island – Šolta.

4. Vis –

An island that will enchant you with its magnificent natural beauty. For many years, it was closed to foreigners because of a military base. That is why it is one of the best-preserved Croatian islands today. There are two places you can visit, located on opposite sides of the island. Whatever you choose, we are sure you will not regret it. The whole island of Vis will enchant you with its beauty and simplicity, delicious specialties and crystal-clear sea. You should also check out the former underground military tunnels, fortresses and caves, the most famous of which is the Blue Cave on the island of Biševo.

5. Korčula –

One of the most beautiful islands of the Adriatic Sea, covered with pine trees and surrounded by crystal blue sea, it will become a synonym for your vacation. Perfect sailing winds will allow you to smoothly sail to the many bays and coves, where you will make unforgettable memories. The island of Korčula is ideal for all sailing enthusiasts looking for a quiet vacation in the perfect environment of natural beauty and clean sea. The northern coast of the island is accessible and low, while the southern coast is steep in some places but also much more indented. Vela Luka is the best-protected bay in the western part of the island, and its shape is reminiscent of a fjord. On the east side of the island is the beautiful town of Korčula, which is often referred to as 'Little Dubrovnik'. It is a famous town rich in history and beautiful buildings, and well worth a visit.

All these places are much easier to reach from the Pirovac Marina.
