On the west coast of the Istrian Peninsula in the town of Rovinj is the ACI Marina Rovinj. It was refurbished and opened in May 2019, with a totally new look. This ultra-modern, 5 anchor marina is a comfortable and luxurious base to sail and explore the 22 islets in the Rovinj Archipelago and the protected coastal area of the incredible Istrian Peninsula.
ACI Marina Rovinj is well protected from all winds, except the south-west and is open all year round.
Approach is easy, between St. Katarina Island and the port breakwater which has a lighthouse. There is a shoal marked by a yellow and black buoy between the lighthouse and St. Katarina Island that should be rounded from north.

A luxury hotel has been built on site with a variety of amenities including the latest technology and services of the highest standards.

Marina/Port Location and Cruising Area
ACI marina Rovinj is one of the most convenient bases for a week on the water in Croatia’s Adriatic. The marina is in Rovinj, on the west coast of Istria, a town known for its colorful old harbor, Venetian-style architecture, and the constant buzz of sailors and day-trippers. From here, you can step straight into a coastline that is easy to explore by rental boat—quiet coves, rocky headlands, and small bays that look made for a morning swim. The atmosphere is lively, yet the waters around Rovinj feel surprisingly calm for cruising along the coast.
In Rovinj you’ll find exactly what a short holiday on a boat needs: good harbor access, services typical for an ACI marina, and the chance to plan flexible routes. Many visitors use ACI marina Rovinj as a starting point for island-hopping in the northern Adriatic. Over a day or a week, you can follow the shoreline toward the natural beauty of the Lim Bay area and the Brijuni direction, depending on wind and your comfort with longer passages. Rovinj’s position also makes it practical to reach nearby coastal viewpoints and beaches along Istria’s west coast.
Getting there is straightforward. The closest major airport options in the region are Pula Airport and Trieste Airport (Italy), both commonly used by travelers arriving for holidays in Istria. If you prefer road travel, the Istrian highway network connects Rovinj with the rest of the peninsula, making it easy to reach the marina after a transfer. For ferry connections, travelers often route through ports along the Adriatic; in the Istrian area, Pula is a frequent reference point for ferry and regional travel.
Rovinj itself is worth a stop between rides—walk the old town streets, visit the waterfront, and watch the sunset over the harbor. Then, with a rental boat from ACI marina Rovinj, you can be out again in minutes. One day feels short. A whole week? Perfect for repeating your favorite bays—plus discovering a few new ones!
