About chartering in Trget Port
Yacht charter in Trget Port is a quiet, authentic Istrian departure point in the sheltered Raša Bay, known for its small fishing-harbour atmosphere and summer sailing traffic.
From Trget, charters typically start from the harbour itself and nearby quays in the Raša Bay area, where smaller yachts can use the local berths and anchoring options. The setting is less marina-focused than Croatia's larger bases, which makes it attractive for sailors who want a more local start.
For a day trip, the waters around Trget reach sheltered bay cruising, nearby coves, and the outer Istrian coast, with longer passages possible toward the island of Cres or south along the peninsula. The area is also exposed to the strong eastern Bura wind, so route choice depends on the forecast.

Where do yachts depart from in Trget Port?
Yachts depart from the small harbour in Trget and the nearby berthing points in Raša Bay. Local sources note that smaller yachts can use two small piers and part of the berths, while larger boats may prefer anchoring in the bay.
Trget is an old fishing village rather than a full-scale marina town, so the departure experience is compact and local. That suits sailing yachts and other small charter boats that can work with quays, harbour berths, and sheltered anchorage.
What day-trip routes can you sail from Trget Port?
Day trips from Trget Port are best for exploring Raša Bay, nearby anchorages, and the Istrian east coast. A longer outing can reach the open waters toward Cres, which is one of the better-known island options mentioned for this area.
Within the bay itself, Tunarica is a practical anchorage option, and Trget’s sheltered waters make it easier to plan a relaxed loop instead of a long offshore passage. If conditions are calm, you can combine a short cruise with swimming stops and a return before evening.
When is the best sailing season in Trget Port?
The main sailing season in Trget Port is late spring through early autumn, with the most active charter period in summer. Trget and Raša Bay are described as busiest with boats in the summer months, which aligns with the most reliable leisure sailing window.
Weather planning matters because the Bura blows strongly from the east. In practice, the calmest and most comfortable charter days are usually chosen when the forecast favors stable conditions rather than a strong eastern wind.
What are the licence and skipper rules for Croatia?
In Croatia, bareboat charterers generally need a valid skipper licence and a VHF radio certificate accepted by Croatian authorities. If you do not have the right documents, you can book with a skipper instead.
That makes Trget Port suitable for both experienced sailors and mixed groups. Sailing yacht charters are common here, but first-time charterers usually sail more comfortably with a professional skipper, especially when the Bura is forecast.
How do you get to Trget Port?
The nearest major airport is Pula Airport, which is the usual air gateway for eastern Istria. From there, the transfer to Trget Port is typically about a 40 to 50 minute road journey, depending on traffic and the exact pickup point.
This makes Trget a practical base for travellers arriving by plane who want to start sailing in Istria without a long transfer. It is also convenient for combining a charter with time in nearby coastal towns on the peninsula.
