Specifications of the Marina

Njivice Marina offers a cosy yet functional space for sailors. Although it is not a full-service marina with yacht clubs, it provides essential berthing options. The best berth for visiting yachts, subject to availability, is alongside the long commercial pier on the west side of the harbour.

The harbour, primarily shallow and occupied by small leisure and fishing craft, offers good shelter from south and east winds but is less protected from northerlies.
