Chartering in Malinska offers a relaxed, scenic start to your Croatian voyage from the sheltered harbor on Krk Island, where calm waters and friendly marinas set the tone. The main departure point is Marina Malinska, a well-equipped port with 357 berths, crane access, and full utilities, ideal for catamarans and small yachts. From here, a day trip reaches the open Kvarner Bay, the nearby islands of Zlarin and Prvić, and secluded anchorages in the southern coves of Krk.
The setting is picturesque: a quiet harbor surrounded by restaurants and bars, with the island’s green hills rising behind.
