Yacht Charters in the Kornati
Eighty-nine bone-white islands with no towns, no roads and no light pollution — then a river detour to swim under the Krka waterfalls. Northern Dalmatia is the Adriatic at its emptiest and most elemental.
The Kornati are what sailors mean when they say the Adriatic feels endless — a national-park archipelago of 89 bare limestone islands and reefs, salt-white against navy water, with nothing on them but stone huts, olive terraces and a handful of summer konobas reachable only by boat. George Bernard Shaw claimed the gods made them out of tears, stars and breath; mooring alone in a Kornati cove at dusk makes the line feel understated.
The gateways are Zadar — whose sea organ plays the harbour swell as you leave — and Šibenik, the stone city guarding the river Krka. That river is the region's trump card: a morning's detour brings you to Skradin and the Krka waterfalls, freshwater swimming beneath travertine cascades in the middle of a sailing week. Add Telašćica's 160-metre cliffs and the salt lake on Dugi Otok, and no week in the Mediterranean packs more raw nature.

89 islands, zero towns
The Kornati are pure geology — anchor in a different empty cove every night and eat at konobas with their own jetties and no road.
Waterfalls mid-charter
Motor up the Krka river to Skradin and swim beneath the cascades — the only freshwater stop of any Mediterranean charter.
Telašćica cliffs
Dugi Otok's southern bay hides behind 160 m sea cliffs with a salt lake on top. The protected anchorage inside is a classic overnight.
Real darkness
No light pollution in the park — the Milky Way over a Kornati anchorage is a fixture of every guest's camera roll.

Per kornati & northern dalmatia.
Where do Kornati charters start?
Zadar (ZAD) and Šibenik are the natural gateways; Biograd and Murter sit right on the park's doorstep. Split works too, adding a day's sail each way through the Šibenik archipelago.
Are there restaurants in the park?
A dozen family konobas operate in summer — grilled fish, lamb, their own olive oil — most with jetties or moorings for guests. There are no shops: provision fully before entering and let the crew book the konoba nights.
Do I need a park permit?
Yes — Kornati and Telašćica charge entry per boat per day, and Krka charges per person. On a crewed charter the operator arranges tickets; they're typically part of the running costs (APA), not the base rate.
Is it good for experienced sailors?
It's their favourite — steady maestral, endless anchorages, real navigation between the reefs, and none of the town-quay scramble of the southern islands. Bareboat-qualified guests should still ask for local briefing on the bura.
