Summer is at Its Peak: The High Season Has Arrived, Sail Away with Mareboat!

The Mediterranean sun is shining at full strength, and the Adriatic Sea has reached that perfect, refreshing swimming temperature. The wait is officially over – the high summer season has arrived!

If you are spending your well-deserved vacation in Tisno, Murter Island, Jezera, or Vodice, the true heart of the Croatian coast is waiting to be explored. The best way to escape the crowded beaches and create memories that will last a lifetime is to take the helm yourself. With Mareboat's rent-a-boat fleet, your island-hopping adventure can start today!

Why Having Your Own Boat Is the Key to a Perfect Peak-Season Vacation

When the summer crowds hit the shore, coastal towns get busy. However, the moment you untie from the dock, the rules of the game change completely:

• Absolute Freedom: You decide where to go, which hidden bay to anchor in, and how long to stay. No fixed ferry timetables, no rushing.
• Privacy in Hidden Coves: While others are fighting for a spot on public beaches, you can drop anchor in secluded bays that are only accessible by sea.
• Premium Comfort and Equipment: Our fleet of modern speedboats (featuring top models like Zar Formenti, Aquamax, or Quicksilver) comes fully equipped with bimini tops for shade, spacious sundecks, and great sound systems to play your favorite summer playlist.

Where to Sail This Season? Our Top Local Recommendations

With our main base located in Tisno, the entire Šibenik and Zadar archipelagos are at your fingertips. Here are the must-visit routes for this high season:

1. Kornati National Park & Lojena Bay: A stunning nautical labyrinth of 89 islands and reefs that will leave you breathless. Make sure to drop anchor in the turquoise waters of Lojena Bay on Levrnaka Island. Local insider tip: Buy your Kornati NP tickets online in advance, as they are significantly cheaper than buying them directly inside the park!
2. Žut and Vrgada Islands: The perfect mix of wild nature and pure relaxation. Žut is famous for its excellent waterfront seafood restaurants, while Vrgada is loved for its golden sandy beaches and slow, authentic island lifestyle.
3. The Hidden Coves of Murter Island: If you prefer shorter distances, explore the steep cliffs and small bays around Murter Island itself, which offer crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkeling.

Golden Rules for Safe Sailing in the High Season

To ensure your day at sea is filled with nothing but smiles and smooth sailing, keep this quick summer checklist in mind:

• Mind the Tisno Bridge Operating Hours: The drawbridge in Tisno opens daily at 09:00 AM and 06:00 PM (the opening lasts about 20–30 minutes). Plan your morning departure and afternoon return accordingly, keeping in mind that boats coming from the south side have the right of way.
• Always Check the Weather Forecast: While summer weather on the Adriatic is generally very stable, local summer storms (known as nevera) can develop quickly. Check reliable local sources like DHMZ (Aladin) or the Windy app. If you are not confident in your boating skills during stronger winds, our Mareboat team is always here to help, or you can book an experienced local skipper to guide you.
• Pack a Smart Nautical Bag: Along with your swimwear, make sure to bring your valid skipper’s license (if you are renting bareboat), high-factor sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and at least 2 liters of water per person.
