Some of the marinas are expensive for overnighting on them every night. Had hoped to go on a swing buoy in a mooring field for a couple of nights, however the weather conspired against us. All marinas have good facilities. Biograd na Maru is a nice town with a big marina.

We explored the islands off Zadar and found beautiful bays. The small towns on Uglijan, Mala Rava and Dugi otok are highly recommended. We were there for 4 days.

Great area to explore. Otok Iz was an absolutely great place to stop for lunch. Just get advice from Tonci for what you want.

We had an amazing experience renting a boat from Marko with Igor as our skipper. We booked for two days, and everything was perfectly organized – they recommended great spots and planned the tour really well, so the timing worked out great. The boat itself was fantastic: fast, spacious, and more than comfortable for our group of 12. They even had snorkeling gear for everyone and a GoPro on board to capture underwater photos and videos, which was really a great touch! Drinks were provided, and they showed us some really stunning places we would have never found on our own. Both Marko and Igor were super friendly, funny, and made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience – I can only highly recommend them!

We had an a amazing trip with Ivan and his beautiful Tartaruga boat - highly recommend to book. Ivan is super friendly, speaks great English, knows the region so well and has awesome ideas where to go and what to do. We had so much fun and can't wait for the next trip!! If you're looking for a fantastic day on the water, swimming, SUPing, sailing - you're at the best place!
