Murter is one of those places you visit once – and never forget.

The small island on the Dalmatian coast is connected to the mainland by a bridge, super easy to reach, and perfectly located if you want to explore the Adriatic by yacht.

Whether it's your first time chartering a yacht or you're an old sea dog – a charter trip from Murter puts you right in paradise.

Murter is charming, relaxed, and truly Croatian. Here you get everything you need before setting sail – from fresh groceries to a relaxing cappuccino right at the marina.

Highlights at a Glance:

  • Cool bars & konobas with sea views
  • Slanica Beach – fine sand & turquoise water
  • Two marinas to choose from: ACI Marina Jezera & Marina Hramina
  • Proximity to Kornati National Park – a true sailing paradise

Murter is a popular gateway to the fascinating island world of the Kornati islands - but there is also plenty to discover on the peninsula itself. The harbor town of Jezera impresses with its charming flair, a small beach and cozy bars, restaurants and shops. Murter Town, the central town on the island, is much livelier and particularly popular with night owls - it's the place to be in the evening.

South of the island, the bays of Vucigrade and Kosirina invite you to swim and linger. The crystal clear, turquoise water makes them real dream spots for anchoring enthusiasts. In the popular Vucigrade bay, you will also find the well-known restaurant Cigrada, which is renowned for its delicious cuisine right by the sea.
