Full Description & Details
Striznja lies on the western shore of Kornat island within the Kornati National Park, a protected archipelago along Croatia's Adriatic coast. The bay benefits from shelter provided by the small island of Striznjak to the west, with safe navigation between the two islands where depths reach 4m. The setting offers crystal-clear water and excellent opportunities for snorkeling and fishing in a tranquil natural environment.
The facility provides 10 moorings plus additional mooring buoys, with depths ranging from 2m to 10m. Anchoring on your own anchor is permitted, and the sandy seabed provides good holding. Water depths at the western jetty reach 3.2m at the outer head, while the eastern jetty offers 1.8m, with both becoming shallower further inside. Berthing is available alongside small docks or on moorings in front of Konoba Darko restaurant, where berthing is free of charge when dining. Basic services include water and electricity hookups, with limited maintenance facilities available for minor repairs.
The marina operates year-round and features an on-site restaurant serving local Croatian cuisine and fresh seafood. Waste disposal facilities are provided to maintain environmental standards. The nearest fuel station is 11 nautical miles away at Zaglav. As this facility lies within Kornati National Park boundaries, all visiting vessels must purchase a park entry ticket, which is cheaper when bought online at least one day in advance.
Skippers should note that protection is compromised in northwest and southwest winds, and should plan accordingly. The restaurant arrangement means visitors should expect to dine at Konoba Darko when using the berthing facilities. Contact the restaurant directly at +385 98 940 97 55 or the park office at +385 22 435 740 for current information.
How to get there
Striznja is located at 43°49'N, 15°17'E on the west side of Kornat island in the Kornati archipelago. The bay is approached from seaward with the small island of Striznjak providing a western landmark. Navigation between Striznjak and Kornat is safe with 4m depths in the passage.
Mariners should consult local nautical charts and current weather forecasts before arrival, as conditions can vary seasonally. The facility is accessible by sea from various points along the Adriatic coast. Road connections serve the broader region, though the island location means primary access is by water.
The port sees increased activity during summer months, the peak season for Croatian coastal tourism. Visiting vessels must contact the Kornati National Park office or the local restaurant for berth availability and specific requirements before arrival.
