Chartering in Betina offers a serene start from a picturesque fishing village on Murter Island, where ancient wooden shipbuilding traditions meet modern marina facilities. You depart directly from Marina Betina, a safe harbor with 190 berths, equipped with showers, a restaurant, and maintenance services for your catamaran. A day trip from here easily reaches the stunning Kornati Islands archipelago or the Krka River National Park, both within a short sailing distance.
The setting is defined by the quiet Murter Canal, separated from the mainland town of Tisno by just 7 km, offering calm waters ideal for novice and experienced sailors alike. Your departure point is the well-equipped Marina Betina, which provides crane access and travel lifts for vessel care. From this base, you can anchor in secluded bays along Murter or explore the dramatic limestone cliffs of the Kornati.
