Sangulin Marina is situated in the center of Croatian Adriatic coast, between Zadar and Split, in Biograd in the natural bay of the peninsula of the city itself, protected from all winds. Sangulin Marina seems to be a part of the Kornati Marina and provides a convenient and well-organised base in the heart of this yachting mecca. It is an extremely popular destination for yachting races and regattas due to the excellent wind in the Pasman Channel. Annually, more than 40 domestic and international regattas of all classes are hosted in this region. Chartering a boat from here gives access to the breathtaking islands of the Kornati National Park as well as the Sibenik Archipelago further south.
Sangulin Marina lies at one of the centres of nautical tourism on the Dalmatian Coast and is open all year. It upholds strict codes of conduct and standards in terms of the environment and has been flying the prestigious Blue Flag for over 6 years. This marina with its state-of-the-art equipment, excellent professional service and strong commitment to the environment is also one of the leading charter bases in Croatia.

Marina/Port Location and Cruising Area
We’ve advised many guests who start their week from Marina Šangulin in Biograd na Moru, and we can say with confidence that this is a practical base for exploring central Dalmatia. The marina is located in Biograd na Moru, a well-known coastal town in the Zadar hinterland on the Adriatic, so you get both easy access to services and a quick route toward open water.
From our experience, the first big advantage is logistics. Biograd na Moru is connected by the main road network along the coast, which makes transfers straightforward. For air arrivals, most travelers fly into Zadar Airport, which is the closest major airport for this area. Guests who prefer a larger international hub often use Split Airport, but for a one-week sailing plan, Zadar tends to be the most convenient. Either way, you can reach Biograd by road without complicated transfers.
When it comes to ferry connections, we’ve noticed that travelers who arrive by sea typically connect through the wider Zadar region. From Biograd, you can also arrange day trips by local transport toward nearby islands—yet with a rented boat, you’re not limited to schedules.
What’s reachable in a week is exactly what makes Marina Šangulin so popular. You can sail along the mainland coast toward the Kornati area and the wider archipelago. The Kornati National Park is a major destination in this part of the Adriatic, and we’ve seen guests spend their days hopping between coves, beaches, and scenic anchorages. Another common route goes toward islands like Pašman and Ugljan, where the coastline offers plenty of sheltered spots for swimming and short land visits.
For a slightly longer day, you can plan a run toward the Zadar area as well, where the coastal scenery and historic atmosphere of the city work well as a “sailing day plus sightseeing” combination. Actually, our guests often tell us the same thing: mornings feel calm, and then the Adriatic opens up—fast! We recommend checking weather windows and keeping a buffer day if you want to anchor in the most sought-after coves.
