Marina in Vodice

Locating a harbor won’t be an issue since there is an ACI Marina Vodice at the very center of town, situated in the northeastern part of Vodice harbor, and protected by two breakwaters. The Marina itself follows the highest standards, and as such is one of 10 that proudly bears “European Blue Flag” since it fulfils the strictest environmental standards in terms of environmental safety and cleanliness of the water.

The marina is open all year round and has 290 berths and 60 boar places on land. Berths are equipped with water and electricity and you will find the reception desk, currency exchange as well as necessary facilities such as supermarket, coffee bar, showers and toilets and pretty much everything you might need.
