Croatia

- The circumnavigation of Krk covers around 70 sm; due to the bora, it requires flexible planning, weather windows and safe alternative harbours.
- The west and south coasts offer sheltered bays, whilst the north-eastern side of the Vinodolski Channel is exposed to the wind with few places to take shelter.
- Klimno, Mala Luka and Baška are key ports of refuge and stopover points; careful navigation, mooring manoeuvres and a Plan B are crucial.

Croatia: Around Krk, with its bays, the bora and karst landscapes

- The route passes through the Senjska Vrata strait, which is prone to bora winds and is considered one of the most dangerous areas at sea during extreme downbursts.
- Baška harbour was expanded in 2024/25 with new breakwaters to create a sheltered basin and now offers safe moorings whatever the weather.
- For a cruise around Krk, reliable Bora forecasts, safe anchorages, and crew members with the appropriate sailing licences and radio licences are essential.

Croatia: Around Krk – Back to Punat through the heartland of the Bora

- Sailing around Krk: the contrast between the tourist-oriented west and south coasts, with their bays, and the barren north-east coast, characterised by the bora.  
- Thanks to accurate marine weather forecasts, planning the 70-sm route through the Vinodolski Channel – which is prone to the bora – is now considerably safer.  
- In Njivice, the announced harbour extensions have not materialised; there are limited guest moorings, a broken music bridge and a lively promenade with restaurants.

- ‘Sigurna plovidba 2026’ targeted inspection campaign: 382 inspections, 182 breaches, fines totalling 79,208.49 euros, 115 staff members on 35 boats
- Checks included documentation, crew numbers, certificates of competence, passenger numbers, CIMIS reports, charter arrangements, wastewater and the behaviour of swimmers and divers
- More offences than in 2025 (133 out of 355 inspections); the operation also served as a preventive and educational measure in view of the rising number of vessels in the Adriatic

Croatia is cracking down: 182 offences uncovered during a major operation on the Adriatic

- Korčula is a historic port town with imposing city walls, Venetian palaces and a sheltered natural harbour in southern Dalmatia.
- The island has a chequered history, having been ruled by the Greeks, Romans, Venetians, France, Great Britain, Austria, Yugoslavia and, since 1991, Croatia.
- The old town, ACI Marina, the vineyards near Lumbarda, bathing bays and the controversial Marco Polo legacy are among the main attractions and activities on offer today.

Mediterranean dream destinations: Korčula – the stony beauty of Dalmatia

- Hochgiftiger Hasenkopf-Kugelfisch und Feuerfisch breiten sich als invasive Arten im gesamten Mittelmeer, inkl. Adria, Italien und Spanien stark aus.  
- Kugelfisch frisst Fang aus Netzen, schädigt Gerät, hat kaum Fressfeinde; sein Neurotoxin bleibt beim Kochen aktiv und kann Atemstillstand verursachen.  
- Feuerfisch ist an zebraartiger Zeichnung und langen giftigen Stacheln erkennbar; Stich verursacht starke Schmerzen, Taubheit und erfordert ärztliche Hilfe.

Croatia: Deadly pufferfish species continues to spread in the Mediterranean

- Vis is a remote Croatian island, long a restricted military area, with little mass tourism and an unspoilt Mediterranean character.  
- Sights include old harbour villages, Stiniva Bay, the Blue Grotto, historical buildings from different eras and abandoned military installations.  
- There are moorings for boats in Vis (Luka, Kut, buoy field) and in the more open harbour of Komiža; the island was the filming location for "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again".
