Yacht charter in Marina Funtana means setting out from a small, year-round marina on the north shore of the Funtana peninsula, between Poreč and Vrsar on Croatia’s western Istrian coast.
This base is best suited to sailing yachts, with berths and services designed for cruising along sheltered Adriatic waters. From here, charterers typically start in Funtana itself and then follow the coast north toward Poreč or south toward Vrsar and the bays around the peninsula.
A day trip from Marina Funtana reaches the western Istrian sailing area, where short coastal hops can lead to quiet anchorages, small island-fringed waters, and scenic passages along the mainland shore. For longer days under sail, the same area also gives access to the wider Istrian and Kvarner cruising region.
