Arrival essentials

Plan your arrival in Šibenik

These notes cover skipper options, parking, and the best nearby provisioning plan before handover day.

Easy base for a first skippered charter

Šibenik is a calm, practical base for crews who want a skipper to take the pressure off the first Croatia week while still keeping routes toward Kornati and Krka simple.

  • Tell us early if you want a skipper so we can match the right yacht, cabin layout, and daily rate before you book.
  • We confirm whether the skipper needs a dedicated cabin and fold that into the final quote up front.

Secure marina parking

Šibenik marina departures are easiest via the Mandalina side, where secure paid parking is available in the marina complex. Use Obala Jerka Šižgorića 1 for navigation.

  • The marina is easier to access by car than city-centre bases, but high-summer Saturdays still merit a parking check ahead of time.
  • Unload near reception first if you want the handover crew to point you to the correct long-stay area.

Best stores near the base

There is a small Konzum in the marina for basics, while Kaufland, Plodine, and Lidl are better for a full shop before boarding.

  • Jam Yacht Supply is useful here if you want charter-style provisioning delivered directly to the yacht.
  • Use the marina shop for ice, drinks, or forgotten items after the main supermarket run.
