Full Description & Details
ACI marina Vodice sits in the northeastern part of Vodice harbor, within Vrulje Cove, right in the town center. The marina is protected by two breakwaters and is open all year round. Vodice is a vibrant tourist destination on the Sibenik Riviera, known for its lively summer atmosphere, nightlife, and proximity to Kornati and Krka national parks. The marina has earned recognition, including third place as best medium marina on the Adriatic in 2017 and the Blue Flag for environmental standards.
The marina offers 412 berths for vessels up to 25 metres LOA, plus 25 dry berths. Water depths reach up to 4 metres. All berths are equipped with water and electricity. The marina is entered from the SSE, turning to starboard inside the long eastern breakwater. Mariners must be aware of a rocky shoal patch about 180–200 metres southeast of the entrance, marked by a green light (Fl G 5s 5m 2M) and indicated at night by an obscured sector of the Vodice harbour light; the shoal can only be rounded from the right.
Facilities include a reception, ATM, modern toilet and shower blocks (including accessible facilities), laundry, a restaurant, a grocery store, and a nautical equipment shop. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. Technical services cover a repair shop, a 10-tonne crane, a 40-tonne travel lift, and a slipway. A fuel station is located on the outer side of the breakwater. Additional amenities include a Tesla EV charging station, parking, and nearby services such as a harbourmaster’s office, swimming pool, bike and scooter rental, and a wellness centre.
The marina is open all year, with peak season in summer. No specific restrictions are noted. The Blue Flag award and green initiatives like the Energo monitor system and EV charging reflect a commitment to sustainable operations. The marina’s central location provides easy access to shops, bars, and restaurants, making it a convenient base for exploring the Dalmatian coast.
