Where to go

Unlocking the Treasures of the Adriatic

Setting sail from ACI Marina Vodice is like unlocking a treasure map of the Adriatic. As you leave the safety of the harbor, the shimmering turquoise waters of the Dalmatian coast beckon you toward legendary destinations. The marina serves as the perfect launchpad for exploring the Kornati Archipelago, a labyrinth of islands, islets, and reefs that offer some of the most breathtaking maritime scenery in Europe.

From the deck of your rented yacht, you will witness sights that are simply impossible to capture from the shore. Imagine gliding past dramatic coastal cliffs that plunge into the deep blue, or navigating through hidden sea caves where the light dances on the cave walls in shades of sapphire and emerald. The coastline is dotted with secret inlets and tranquil bays, providing the perfect anchor points for a midday swim.

Your nautical itinerary can easily include:

  • The Islands of Brač and Šolta: Accessible via short sailing routes, these islands offer a blend of white pebble beaches, ancient stone villages, and lush greenery.
  • Krka National Park: A short boat trip brings you closer to the magnificent Krka Waterfalls, where the freshwater cascades into the sea in a spectacular display of nature's power.
  • Hidden Coastal Wonders: Keep an eye out for unique natural features like seasonal migratory bird routes crossing the sea and the chance to spot pods of dolphins playing in the wake of your boat.

Every turn around a new cape reveals a fresh perspective on the Adriatic's rugged beauty, making every day of your charter a new discovery.
