Yacht charter Rijeka

Your yacht charter Rijeka can be easily reached via the airport of the city, which is located on the island of Krk, connected to the mainland by a bridge. A journey to the city, which is only about 20 kilometers west of Opatja, is also quite feasible by car. Once you arrive in Croatia's third largest city, the route to the marina takes you directly to the center of town. The marina itself has all the facilities you need to start your sailing vacation carefree. Rijeka itself is well developed for tourism. The central pedestrian zone, called Korzo, is within walking distance from the port. Here you will find countless cafes and bars, where you can make a short stop to observe the hustle and bustle on the street. Why not treat yourself to a slice of Rigojanči, a traditional cake whose recipe originated in the city.
Walking through Rijeka, you can experience the city's varied history through its architectural witnesses. Already in the Stone Age there were first traces of settlement and by the Illyrians the area was fortified as a port under the name of Liburnum. In the 2nd century BC the city was again conquered by the Romans. Today, the so-called fort of Trsat can be visited at this place. Once you have climbed the 561 steps to the small 13th century fortification, you are offered a beautiful view over the city and the sea. A small café inside the castle offers the possibility to relax between the green overgrown walls. On the way back to the harbor, it is worth visiting the Cathedral of St. Vitus. The baroque round building from the 17th century is particularly luxuriously decorated with marble altars and extraordinary window paintings.

The breakwater of the harbor, the so-called Molo Longo, has developed into a nearly 2-kilometer-long promenade. Here you can enjoy the mild breeze from the sea in small cafes, at the end of the breakwater is a platform where the sunsets in the sea are particularly beautiful. On weekends, parties are often held along the pier.
What makes the city special is the mixture of Art Nouveau splendorous buildings, picturesque churches and pastel-colored houses of the old town to industrial wastelands, empty warehouses and disused shipyards. Since the end of the Croatian war, the city has been slowly recovering and exploiting the potential of this cultural mix: there has been a great cultural aspiration for some time, which can be realized in many aspects in 2020 with the title of European Capital of Culture(www.rijeka2020.eu/en).

Bayside strolls with Caribbean flair in the Kvarner Bay

The Kvarner Bay, located between the Croatian mainland and Istria, is a popular sailing area. The calm, Caribbean-like waters are especially popular with families and sailing beginners. Only in the so-called Velebitski Channel, located between the mainland and the island of Krk, the sailing conditions are somewhat more demanding. Here the bora can be particularly evident and caution is advised. The further west you go from the mainland, the more this effect weakens.

Between the islands of Cres and Krk you can reach the island of Rab, which is considered one of the most beautiful in the Kvarner Bay and the Croatian Adriatic, in a well-protected passage. Especially the sandy beaches, unusual for Croatia, make the island a popular vacation destination. Opposite on the mainland coast is another highlight of the National Park Northern Velebit : the bay Zavratnica. The bay and the surrounding national park offer many opportunities for nature lovers and hikers. In the crystal clear waters of the fjord-like bay, on the seabed, there is a wreck from the Second World War, which can be explored with snorkel or diving equipment. The island of Losinj is also one of the larger islands in the bay, along with Krk and Cres. Mali Losinj is the main town of the island and also a popular port of call for sailors. The marina in Augustus Bay is protected from Jugo and Bora. It can be reached from both the east and west sides of the island, from the east coast via a channel that is open twice a day. For children a special pleasure is certainly a trip to the aquapark Čikat. On 2400^{m2 of} water area are spread numerous attractions that will keep the children busy, while the adults can relax a little in the recreational pool with pool bar.
Those who still have time and desire for something more Adriatic after all the islands in the Kvarner Bay, turn further south towards Zadar and Sukosan. Also a guarantee for an unforgettable sailing trip are the Kornati islands in northern Dalmatia.

Historical sites surrounded by beautiful nature in Istria

On your yacht charter Rijeka you can also easily reach Istria, the northernmost coastal region of Croatia. Sail around the southernmost tip of the Istrian peninsula and stop in Medulin to recreate Roman life on the Croatian Adriatic at the Vižula Archaeological Park. Or explore the rugged coastline in and around the Cape Kamenjak Nature Reserve with an overnight stay at Pomer Marina. A point of attraction of the Istrian coast, not only among historically savvy sailors, is of course Pula with its famous and extremely well preserved amphitheater from the 1st century A.D. The small archipelago of the Brijun nature reserve is a paradise for sailors. Already since 3000 BC the archipelago has been settled again and again. Only on the main island Veli Brijun there is a harbor where it is allowed to anchor. Diving is also restricted and only guided dives are allowed. The islands off the coastal town of Rovinj are also a popular destination. Are you generally more drawn towards the Istrian coastline? Then perhaps start from Vrsar. From here the destinations in the north like Funtana or Poreč are just as easy to reach as the southern coastal towns of the Istrian coast.
