Full Description & Details
Malinska marina sits on the northwest coast of Krk island, approximately 12 kilometres from the town of Krk and 15 kilometres from Rijeka Airport on the mainland. The facility operates year-round and provides a convenient stopover for vessels exploring the northern Adriatic. The marina experiences its busiest period from June through September when tourist activity peaks.
The marina accommodates 50 wet berths with water depths ranging from 1 to 4 metres, suitable for vessels up to approximately 20 metres in length. Berths on the shore utilise moorings, with 30 mooring positions available. The holding and protection characteristics are not extensively documented in available sources, though the location on Krk's northwest coast suggests exposure to northern Bura winds, particularly during winter months when these winds can be strong.
Facilities include water and electricity at berths, with connection charges varying by vessel size. A 10-tonne crane is available for lifting operations. The marina provides restrooms and showers for guests, along with Wi-Fi access and waste disposal services. Fuel is not available on-site; the nearest fuel station is 13 nautical miles away in Krk town. Basic repair services can be arranged locally, though more comprehensive maintenance facilities are found at larger marinas elsewhere on the island or on the mainland. The town of Malinska offers restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries and local markets within walking distance of the marina.
Visitors should note that while the marina operates throughout the year, weather conditions warrant consultation before arrival, especially during winter when northern winds can create challenging conditions. Local police and coast guard presence provides security. Chartered vessel guests typically have sojourn tax included in their charter fee, while private boat crew members pay approximately 1 euro per person.
How to get there
The approach to Malinska marina is straightforward, with the port accessible from the Adriatic Sea on the northwest coast of Krk island. Standard navigation aids and current charts should be consulted for safe entry. Mariners should exercise particular caution during periods of strong Bura winds from the north, which can affect conditions especially in winter months.
No specific VHF channel, bearing or waypoint information is provided in available sources. The marina is connected to the mainland via a bridge linking Krk island to the Croatian coast. Rijeka Airport lies approximately 15 kilometres away on the mainland, providing air access for crew changes or provisioning.
The town of Malinska surrounds the marina, with all services within walking distance. Limited parking is available near the marina for those arriving by road. No specific customs or immigration formalities are detailed in the sources for this particular facility.
