Split Marinas
Where charter fleets base in Split: the main marinas, which start fits which week, and how to link into yacht charter planning.
Split marina map
Primary charter bases and useful overnight harbours, labelled on the map.
Split and Trogir hold the core Central Dalmatian charter fleets. ACI Split, Marina Kaštela and the Trogir bases sit within an easy transfer of the airport. Saturday is the changeover day. Town walls and ACI marinas fill early in high season, so treat overnight berths as a planning item, not an afterthought. For booking context, see yacht charter in Split.

Split marina directory
ACI Marina Split
City base with fast provisioning and a short hop to Brač and Šolta.
Marina Kaštela
Large charter marina between Split and Trogir; easy airport run.
ACI / SCT Trogir
Historic town start; popular for first-time Adriatic weeks.
Marina Agana / Seget area
Quieter berths west of Trogir with charter operators nearby.
Which base for which week
Kaštela and Trogir are the usual Saturday starts. ACI Split suits crews who want the city first night. If you are new to lazy lines and stern-to, a skipper for the first evening in Trogir is often the honest call.
Provisioning, fuel and check-in
Fuel docks and large supermarkets cluster around Split and Trogir. Island town quays (Hvar, Vis, Bol) need early arrival in July and August. Bura days make some north-facing berths uncomfortable; sit in shelter rather than forcing a marina hop. Nearest airport for most crews: Split (SPU).
Chartering from Split
This page is research intent: where to berth and which base fits the week. When you are ready to compare boats and weekly rates, use the Split yacht charter page or browse yachts.
Season and berth pressure
Peak Saturdays in July and August are industrial. Shoulder months keep the same marinas with shorter queues at the fuel dock.
Fees and what to expect
ACI and large charter marinas publish seasonal tariffs. Town walls on Hvar and Vis are the scarce, dearer overnight. Anchor where you can and treat marina nights as logistics.
Approaches and shelter
Lazy lines and stern-to are the Adriatic default. Bura days make some north-facing berths uncomfortable; sit in shelter rather than forcing a hop. Kaštela and Trogir are the usual Saturday starts.
Nearby sailing ground
Brač, Šolta, Hvar and Vis sit within a classic Central Dalmatian week. Split itself is provisioning and flights more than a mid-week marina circuit.
FAQs
Is Split or Trogir better as a base?
Both work for the same Central Dalmatian sailing ground. Trogir and Kaštela sit closer to many charter desks and the airport run. Split puts you in the city for the first night.
How far is Split airport from the marinas?
About 20 to 40 minutes depending on base and traffic. Time your transfer around checkout, not around an early outbound flight on the last morning.
Can ACI marinas take catamarans?
Often yes, but beam matters. Confirm berth size when you book a wide cat, especially if you also plan nights in older town harbours.
Can I leave the boat in Hvar mid-week?
Possible, but high-season berths are scarce. Arrive early and keep a fallback anchorage in case the quay is full.
