Yacht Charter Opatija

Opatija is a popular summer and winter seaside resort on the Kvarner Gulf, known for its Mediterranean climate and its historic buildings. Once a winter retreat for the Hapsburg elite, today it is a pleasant seaside resort favoured by an older crowd. Opatija is surrounded by beautiful woods and overlooked by the Učka mountain ridge on the Istrian peninsula. Left over from its ‘golden age’ are the elegant buildings, lovely parks and a long beachfront promenade. There are also a number of excellent restaurants, fine hotels and spa resorts here. Opatija is located about 13km southwest of the port city of Rijeka and is central to the Opatija Riviera.

The coast to the north and south of Opatija is rugged and picturesque, and contains several smaller winter resorts. Sailing in the Kvarner Bay and around the Kvarner islands: Cres, Losinj and Krk, is possible from here. For yachtsmen, Opatija offers two full-service marinas and is a charming place to be based and take shelter from the wind.
