The small village of çlies on the Krka river on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], eight miles upriver from the city of [[Sibenik]].  Access to the river is via a five mile long inlet entered through a narrow strait, the Kanal Sv. Ante, situated five miles SE of [[Vodice]] and 11 miles NNW of  [[Primosten]].  The village is renowned for its remarkable waterfalls, the Skradinski Buk, the most spectacular of three sets of falls on the Krka River.  Skradin is accessible by all but the deepest-draft yachts, with depths in the channel of around 7.0 metres, maximal air draft 30 meters.  On arrival at the village a yacht has the option of berthing in the ACI-operated [[Marina Skradin]] or anchoring in the coves on the opposite, S side of the river, while visiting the falls. Officially anchoring is only permitted when the marina is full and the marina staff does not like the piers to be used as dingy dock. Good holding but strong wind gusts are frequent!.

In Skradin the ''bora'' is funnelled through the river valley and sometimes causes violent gusts in the marina and anchorage. During a ''winter bora'' in 2012 wind speeds up to 65 knots were measured in the marina.

==Local Weather==

For sources of weather forecasting, ''see [[Croatia#Sources_of_weather_forecast_info|Croatia]]''.
-
Diurnal winds along the coast are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5.  At night, katabatic winds off the mountains are a feature of some of the harbours along the NE Adriatic coast.  During early spring and (especially) autumn conditions can be more unsettled, occasionally accompanied by violent thunderstorms - luckily of short duration - with winds of 30-35 knots or more and vicious, steep seas.  In the winter the sudden, violent N wind off the mountains, the ''bora'', is much to be feared, especially along the Velebitski channel.  It tends to blow less strongly S of Zadar.  
+
-
Equally prevalent in winter - although not uncommon in summer - is the ''scirocco'', a S/SE wind that blows up from North Africa, usually in advance of a depression moving E across the Mediterranean. Unlike the ''bora'', the ''scirocco'' only occasionally exceeds gale force, but is still a phenomenon to be wary of, especially if on a lee coast.

==Approach and Navigation==

==Navigation==
-
The channel of Kanal Sv. Ante is entered at [[image:World_icon.png]] {{Coord|43|43.2|N|15|51.0|E|}} just south of the resort of Jadrija.  On the E side of the entrance is a rocky shoal, Hrid Rocni, which is marked with a light beacon and should be left to starboard.  The narrow channel leads ENE for a mile before opening out into the bay of Sibenik.  Note that there is a further shoal patch on the E side where the  channel opens out.  It is marked with a light structure.  Once into the bay of Sibenik, the entrance to the Krka River channel is a further three miles at the NW end of the bay.  The channel is marked with port and starboard buoys.  Follow the channel round into the large inland lake of Proljansko Jezero, being careful to avoid the numerous mussel farms en route.  The channel then continues for a further two miles from the E side of the lake under a motorway bridge and up to Skradin.  Another road bridge just beyond Skradin with less than 10.0 metres air draft prevents any further progress.

==Check-in facilities (for Customs and Immigration)==

{{Note}}You are not allowed to use your own dinghy to go up to the falls as the tripper boats monopolise the jetty at the falls.
-
Anchor in one of the three coves on the S side of the river, wherever there is space (but note that it is not permitted to stay overnight here).  Depths are 3.0 - 3.5 metres and the holding is good in mud.  You may not be able to use much chain if the coves are busy, however.  You can then take one of the regular tripper boats from the marina up to the falls.  Note: you are not allowed to use your own dinghy as the tripper boats monopolise the jetty at the falls. Alternatively, and certainly if planning an overnight stay, enquire at the [[Marina Skradin]] on the N bank of the river.  The marina has 153 berths on laid moorings with water and electricity.

Upriver from Skradin is the Krka National Park, the main jewel of which is Skradinski Buk, a beautiful set of waterfalls cascading some 70 metres down the Krka River.  The falls are best visited by one of the regular ferries from the marina, which take visitors the two miles up to the attraction. As always in Croatia, the whole set-up is beautifully managed, with a rustic crafts centre, replica water-driven felt hammers (the falls were once an important milling and textile centre) and water-powered corn mills. There is a good restaurant at the top of the falls (where the mills are) and one can then descend via a long series of wooden walkways winding over clear pools brimming with trout.  A must to cap off the visit is a quick swim at the bottom of falls, where the cool, crystal-clear water cascades into a perfect pool.   Further upstream are the less impressive falls of Roski Slap and the island monastery of Visovac, dating back to the 15th century.

Skradin, view from the South

Skradin lies on the N shore of the Krka river, eight miles upriver from the city of Šibenik.

The village is renowned for being an entrance to the Krka National Park and in particular for the Skradinski Buk, the most spectacular of three waterfall cascades on the Krka River.

Skradin is accessible by all but the deepest-draft yachts, with depths in the channel of around 7.0 metres, maximal air draft 30 meters.

Charts

See Northern Dalmatia.

There are a few inlets on the opposite, S side of the river. Good holding but strong wind gusts are frequent. Depths are 3.0 - 3.5 metres and the holding is good in mud. However, you may not be able to use much chain the place is busy. Beginning in 2019 these inlets have moorings laid during the season.


It is alternatively possible to anchor on the N side of the river in 6-7 meters between the docks (to the N) and the area marked "anchoring prohibited" (to the S). It is advisable to take a line ashore to avoid swinging into the channel.

Transportation

Tourism

Upriver from Skradin is the Krka National Park, the main jewel of which is Skradinski Buk, a beautiful set of waterfalls cascading some 70 metres down the Krka River. As always in Croatia, the whole set-up is beautifully managed, with a rustic crafts centre, replica water-driven felt hammers (the falls were once an important milling and textile centre) and water-powered corn mills.

The falls are best visited by one of the regular ferries from the marina, which take visitors the two miles up to the attraction. The first ferry leaves Skradin at 8 am and is recommended to avoid the crowds in summer. They run every hour thereafter.

You can take a separate trip further upstream to the less impressive falls of Roski Slap and the island monastery of Visovac, dating back to the 15th century. These ferries do not start until midday and there a choice of three different trips lasting 2.5 to 3 hours.

There is a good restaurant at the top of the falls (where the mills are) and one can then descend via a long series of wooden walkways winding over clear pools brimming with trout.

A must to cap off the visit is a quick swim at the bottom of the falls, where the cool, crystal-clear water cascades into a perfect pool.

For more details see Krka National Park at the Wikivoyage.
