Arriving in Trogir for the start of your trip

The nearest airport is Split, only a few minutes' drive from the marinas. For the last stretch it matters which shore your marina is on.

From Split airport to Trogir

Quickest is a taxi or a pre-booked transfer directly to the marina. By car it is eight to twelve minutes from the airport to Marina Baotić depending on traffic; you reach the two marinas on Čiovo via one of the bridges to Čiovo.

Cheaper is bus line 37, which connects Split, the airport and Trogir. From the airport to Trogir bus station takes about ten minutes and costs €2.50; on weekdays the buses run roughly every 20 minutes during the day, on Saturdays every 20 to 30 minutes, on Sundays and public holidays about every 30 minutes (as of October 2026). You can find the current airport line timetable timetable on the operator's website. From the bus station you can walk to ACI Marina in a few minutes over the bridge to Čiovo. To SCT Marina and Marina Baotić a taxi is more convenient with luggage.

By car, train, bus or ferry

By car you reach the region via the A1 motorway Zagreb–Split. By train you travel to Split; the journey from Zagreb takes around eight hours. From Italy there is a ferry connection from Ancona to Split. From Split, bus line 37 runs in about 50 minutes to the airport and on to Trogir.

Which marina is mine?

If you are travelling as crew on a cabin charter: which marina and which pontoon it is will be stated in your trip documents. The full name is crucial: SCT Marina and ACI Marina are both on Čiovo, about half a kilometre apart; Marina Baotić is on the mainland in Seget Donji. So tell the taxi driver "SCT Marina", "ACI Marina" or "Marina Baotić Seget Donji". If you get out at the wrong marina, it is a long way with luggage.

Parking at the marinas

All three marinas have their own parking spaces. Parking is charged at the SCT Marina. Keep your parking ticket safe: without it, you'll be charged for four weeks' parking when you leave. Marina Baotić has 200 parking spaces without reservation; parking is only permitted in the marked areas. The ACI Marina also has a car park.

Arrived early: luggage and the old town

If your flight lands long before embarkation, leave your luggage in the lockers at the bus station or in the left luggage next to the fish market, Ulica Alojzija Stepinca 12A, about 50 metres further towards Seget. Spend the waiting time in the old town, which is within walking distance from all three marinas. A stroll along the waterfront is also worthwhile on the evening before your trip. When walking back, remember that at SCT Marina and Marina Baotić there is quiet time from 22:00 to 08:00.

Showers and sanitary facilities

All three marinas have sanitary facilities with showers. ACI Marina also has accessible sanitary facilities and a laundry.

Shopping for the trip

For the first shop on foot, each marina has its own shop: SCT Marina has a small food shop open daily from 07:00 to 14:00. ACI Marina has a food shop. The supermarket at Marina Baotić opens Monday to Thursday from 08:00 to 18:00, Friday and Saturday until 20:00 and Sunday until 12:00; shorter hours outside the season.

For a big shop by car there is a Lidl branch in the Plano district east of the town, towards the airport. If possible, plan your shop before Sunday: in Croatia shops are generally closed on Sundays and only open on a few Sundays a year. Shops in marinas, at petrol stations and at the airport may open at all times.

Doctor, pharmacy and emergency services

In summer Trogir has a clinic for holidaymakers in the health centre (Dom zdravlja), Ulica kardinala Alojzija Stepinca 17, about 500 metres as the crow flies from ACI Marina (on foot via the old town and both bridges) and a good kilometre from Marina Baotić. It opens Tuesday to Saturday from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.; on Sundays and Mondays the on-call service helps in urgent cases. For minor matters a pharmacy in town can help.

• 112: general emergency number, free from all networks
• 194: ambulance, 192: police, 193: fire brigade
• 195: sea rescue (MRCC Rijeka), at sea also VHF channel 16

Where is SCT Marina Trogir located?

SCT Marina Trogir is located at Cape Čubrijan on Čiovo, diagonally opposite the old town. It is roughly 900 metres as the crow flies to the historic centre, and about half a kilometre to ACI Marina.

The abbreviation stands for the operating company Servisni centar Trogir. Since 2021, the marina has belonged to the Marina 21 Group, which also operates harbours in Novigrad, Pula and Vela Luka. Seven charter companies have their base here; on changeover days it can get correspondingly busy.

Facilities at SCT Marina

The berths have water, electricity and Wi-Fi. Alongside the food shop there is a chandlery for boat supplies, a restaurant and a bar. With travellifts for 100 and 600 tonnes the shipyard can also lift large yachts out of the water. The marina office is open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Where is ACI Marina Trogir?

ACI Marina Trogir is on Čiovo directly opposite the old town, separated from it only by a channel about 100 metres wide. You can reach the centre on foot over the bridge.

The marina belongs to the Croatian ACI chain and is open all year. With 161 berths it is the smallest of the three. It accepts daily berths for boats up to 30 metres in length. Charter agencies also have their base here.

Facilities at ACI Marina

Besides sanitary facilities, laundry, a food shop and free Wi-Fi, the marina has a fuel station, a restaurant, a cash machine, a fitness room, a workshop and a crane for 9 tonnes.

Where is Marina Baotić in Seget Donji?

Marina Baotić is on the mainland in Seget Donji, in a sheltered bay west of Trogir. It is about a kilometre and a half as the crow flies to the old town.

With 400 berths in the water and ashore, 281 of them fully equipped, Baotić is one of the largest marinas in the area. You can get into town comfortably by water taxi, which runs to Trogir's waterfront promenade about every 20 minutes.

Facilities at Marina Baotić

The berths have electricity, water and Wi-Fi. The fuel station with petrol and diesel has 20 pumps and opens Saturday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Fridays until 8 p.m., shorter hours in the off season. In addition there are the supermarket, a chandlery, several restaurants and a bar.

What is the sailing weather like in Trogir?

In summer the weather on the central Adriatic is usually stable and clear, with a regular sea breeze during the day. In the colder half of the year, Bora and Jugo blow more frequently and more strongly.

The squally bora from the northeast is rarer and weaker in the central Adriatic than in the north, whilst the steady southeasterly jugo is more frequent. If you are joining a trip as crew for the first time, the summer months with their reliable weather are the easiest introduction. In spring and autumn a day with bora or jugo may more readily turn into a harbour day. An overview of the wind systems is given in the article on main winds in the Mediterranean.

From Trogir the islands of central Dalmatia lie close together, so the first leg can be short. Sailing yachts leave all three marinas heading west; for the route the choice of marina makes little difference.

Directly off Trogir is a small group of islands with quiet bays, which also includes Drvenik Veliki with a marina. Further south lies Šolta, east of that Brač and behind it Hvar. So on the trip you can expect rather short daily legs between islands, bays for swimming and small harbours with a village centre. Not far from Trogir lies the Marina Kaštela.

What can you do ashore in Trogir?

The obvious destination is the old town, within walking distance from all three marinas. It lies on a small island between the mainland and Čiovo and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

• Old town and cathedral: The street layout still follows the ancient Greek grid plan. At the centre stands the Cathedral of St Lawrence with the west portal by Master Radovan from 1240, about 400 metres as the crow flies from ACI Marina.
• Kamerlengo Fortress: The Venetian fortress at the western end of the old town was built between 1420 and 1437 and in summer serves as a venue for concerts, theatre and festivals. It's just under 200 metres as the crow flies from ACI Marina.
• Town beaches: Two town beaches lie about ten minutes on foot from the old town, one on Čiovo and one in the Brigi district. Most beaches are in Arbanija on Čiovo. In summer boat services run from Trogir to Čiovo.
• Okrug Gornji: The beach on the west coast of Čiovo lies about two kilometres from the town centre, good for an afternoon's bathing.
• Pantan: The nature reserve about one and a half kilometres east of the centre has a restored mill, a restaurant and a pebble and sand beach.

For skippers: Berthing and sea weather in Trogir

At all three marinas you register via VHF channel 17 or by phone and berth at the place the marina assigns to you.

Registration at the marinas

• SCT Marina: Registration by phone or VHF channel 17. At reception you present boat papers, crew list and the identity documents of everyone on board. Anyone who joins later is also reported.
• ACI Marina: Notify arrival at least 30 minutes before entering, by phone or VHF channel 17. At reception you show ship's papers, proof of insurance and certificates of competence. A booked daily berth is held until 8 p.m. on the day of arrival; anyone arriving later reports this in advance.
• Marina Baotić: Registration by email, phone or VHF channel 17. At reception you present ship's papers, crew list and the identity documents of the whole crew; you pay the tourist tax at the harbour office.

Berthing at the marinas in Trogir

At the SCT Marina, the marineros will allocate your berth and help with mooring, though the skipper remains responsible. At Marina Baotić you lie stern-to the pontoon or alongside; you have lines and fenders on board, and the staff will help with departure on request. In both the SCT Marina and Marina Baotić, anchoring in the harbour basin is prohibited.

Harbour rules

The harbour regulations of SCT Marina and Marina Baotić stipulate (as at October 2026):

• Maximum speed 3 knots in SCT Marina, 2 knots in Marina Baotić. Engines run only when entering and leaving; at SCT Marina this also applies to generators.
• Swimming, diving and fishing are forbidden in the harbour basin, at SCT Marina watersports as well.
• Night-time quiet hours are from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.; dogs and other pets must be kept on a lead.
• At Marina Baotić electricity and water remain connected only as long as someone from the crew is on board.

Approach to ACI Marina

The bridge between the old town and Čiovo does not open and is lower than three metres. Sailing yachts with mast stepped therefore cannot pass under it and enter from the west, between Čiovo and the Čelica rock. The green light on Cape Čubrijan, where SCT Marina is also located, serves as a landmark. You should avoid the channel north of the old town: it is only about two metres deep.

Which sea weather forecast applies in Trogir?

The forecast for Trogir is issued by the Split Sea Weather Centre, which is part of the Croatian meteorological service DHMZ. You can read it on the weather service's website, also in German, or listen to it on VHF.

The report gives warnings, weather situation and the forecast for wind, sea state and visibility for twelve hours plus outlook, divided into northern, central and southern Adriatic. Trogir is in the central section. The coast radio station Split Radio broadcasts weather reports and warning messages in English and Croatian at 05:45, 12:45, 19:45 and 00:45 UTC on VHF channels 07, 21, 23, 28, 81 and 84 — in summer therefore two hours later local time, in winter one hour later.

Directly off Trogir lies a small group of islands with quiet bays, including Drvenik Veliki with a marina. Further south is Šolta, to the east of that is Brač, and beyond that Hvar. The exact route is usually decided by the crew only once on board. If Bora is blowing or Jugo is forecast, the skipper often chooses a more sheltered route than originally planned.

On Törnfinder there are 144 trip dates in the next twelve months with departure or destination in Trogir (as of October 2026). Most depart in July, June and August, typically spending eight days on board. The trips are offered by seven providers, sailing on monohulls and catamarans. For an overview of offers across the whole country, see Sailing in CroatiaMany sailing trips depart from Trogir: seven charter companies alone have their base at SCT Marina, and there are also charter agencies at ACI Marina. An overview of offers throughout the country can be found on Törnfinder under Sailing in the Adriatic.
