Marina Zadar

From CruisersWiki

Marina Zadar (aka Marina Tankerkomerc) is situated on the E side of the large commercial harbour of Zadar on the coast of Croatia. The harbour is separated by the two mile wide Zadar Strait from the two long islands of Ugljan and Pasman to the west. The marina offers a total of 300 berths for yachts up to 25.0 metres in depths of up to 12.0 metres.

Marina radio contact

Call Marina Zadar on VHF channel 17 or 16 prior to entry. Alternatively, telephone (023 204862) or e-mail to enquire about berthing or advance reservations.

Navigation/Approach

Zadar is approached either from NW along the channel separating the mainland from the island of Ugljan or from SE along the E side of the island of Pasman. Smaller yachts and motor boats can approach via the Prolaz Zdrelac, the narrow channel between the islands of Ugljan and Pasman; however, note that the channel is crossed by a road bridge with only 16 metres clearance. In the approach, the buildings of the old town on a peninsula sheltering the harbour from S and W are conspicuous. The harbour is entered from NW between the old town peninsula and a long breakwater. Note that there are extensive shoals along the shore NW of the entrance, marked with a port had buoy. The harbour is used by several ferries, which enter and leave at speed and caution is needed when approaching. The entrance to the marina is to port 100 metres after passing the breakwater. Shelter inside the harbour is excellent, although berths outside the marina basin on the breakwater and T pontoons are subject to wash from commercial traffic.

Berthing

Most visiting yachts berth at the Marina Zadar in the basin to port on entry. Larger yachts (over 15 metres) are usually berthed stern-to the breakwater, taking lines to a row of mooring buoys, or on either of the two T-pontoons E of the breakwater. Depths in the marina are 8.0 - 12.0 metres and at the breakwater 12.0 - 15.0 metres.

Berthing assistance available. Small to medium-sized yachts (up to 15 metres) berth bows or stern-to the pontoons in the marina basin. Larger yachts (over 15 metres) are usually berthed stern-to the breakwater, taking lines to a row of mooring buoys, or on either of the two T-pontoons E of the breakwater. Depths in the marina are 8.0 - 12.0 metres and at the breakwater 12.0 - 15.0 metres.
