A protected labyrinth of 89 uninhabited islands, reefs, and dramatic cliffs, the Kornati National Park is a place built for sailors. There are no towns, no ferries, no noise. Just you, your yacht, and the raw beauty of the Adriatic. Chartering a yacht to explore the Kornati is the ultimate sailing adventure.
Features
Why Sail the Kornati National Park?
Unparalleled Natural Beauty
Sail beneath dramatic cliffs (known as “crowns”) that plunge into the sea, swim in crystal-clear turquoise bays, and anchor in total seclusion. The landscape is lunar, primal, and unforgettable.
A True Sailor's Playground
With countless islands and islets, the Kornati is a paradise for navigation. It’s a place to test your skills (or trust your skipper’s) finding unique passages and hidden coves.
Authentic Culinary Experiences
The Kornati is famous for its handful of remote, family-run “konobas” (taverns). Moor your boat at their private dock and enjoy the freshest seafood, often caught that very day, in a truly rustic setting.

Kornati Sailing FAQs
Do I need to buy a ticket for the Kornati National Park?
Yes, an entrance ticket is mandatory for sailing and anchoring in the park. We highly recommend buying it online at least one day in advance, as it is roughly 50% cheaper than buying it from the park rangers on-site.
Are there moorings or marinas inside the Kornati?
There is one ACI Marina (Piškera) inside the park. However, most of the magic comes from anchoring in the designated, protected bays (like Levrnaka or Opat) or using the free mooring buoys provided by the local “konobas” (taverns) for their dinner guests.
Is it difficult to navigate in the Kornati?
The Kornati can be challenging. While beautiful, the islands are numerous, look similar, and there are many shallow areas and reefs. It is not recommended for inexperienced sailors. We strongly suggest hiring a skipper if you are not 100% confident.
Is there water and electricity in the Kornati?
Only in ACI Marina Piškera. In the isolated bays, there is no water or shore power. The Kornati is an “off-grid” experience, so you must manage your yacht’s water and battery supplies. This is the heart of its charm.
