Cruise in Sibenik

Departure

Mandalina Marina is situated in the town of Sibenik, on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia, halfway between the two international airports of Zadar and Split. From Zadar or Split, it will take you about 40 to 55 minutes to get to Sibenik and its marina. Located only 2 kilometres away from the town centre, this marina is known to be one of the safest ports in the bay of Sibenik due to its location, which is naturally protected from all types of winds.

The charter company were very friendly and helpful. The boat sails very fast so was great in the wind. When we had any issues the charter company were quick to try and fix them. Would definitely rent this boat and this charter company again.

Local operator are actually lovely and they care. Once you get past the slight brusque approach necessitated by a peak season pressure you realise that the whole team are dedicated to make you charter perfect. From the morning Luka spent fettling the yacht - including a new main sheet to the replacement outboard driven down the coast from Sibenik to Kremik, nothing is too much trouble. The Hanse 505 is a fast sailing yacht with plenty of space. This particular boat is starting to show a little wear and tear, but still OK. Kike knows this boat inside out and works very hard to make it a pleasure to sail. Mandalina is a big Marina, worth a walk to the Superyacht basin for a little daydreaming too. Parking can be a little intense but there is usually space to park further down the Marina. Its a good base, close enough to both the Split area and islands to the south, the southern Kornati and with lots of little places to explore, anchor and swim just outside the Sibenik Canal

Myself and three friends plan an annual sailing trip, and after a two-year restriction, we were all keen to get back out on the water again - I arranged as the skipper of our bareboat charter each year. From the moment we landed at Split Airport, 9.30 AM, ie the transport to Marina Frapa (arranged by the local charter operator), all went very well, We were met by our pre-arranged transport to Marina Frapa and after a 35-minute journey, we were at base office, eager to see if we could get on board earlier than the official check-in and handover time. To our surprise the yacht was ready, Dufour 460 Grand Large.. The shore team was very friendly and helpful. A shortish walk down to Pontoon 8 and we were on board. The facilities ashore were very good, clean, and functional, and with a restaurant opposite the pontoon, We were checked in very thoroughly and professionally. We had previously chartered an exact similar Dufour 460 GL from another marina before, so were familiar with its layout. What more could we ask for to fuel up with a hearty lunch at the pizza restaurant and a few beers before setting off out of the harbour. Extracting ourselves from the pontoon had one or two challenges as there wasn't a lot of space to manoeuver a 46ft yacht out from all the other stern to yachts, suffice to say all went well. The rest of the holiday went without a hitch, allowing us to visit new islands, fantastic restaurants, and quiet anchorages.. As one particular evening springs to mind, I would highly recommend Otok Levrnaka, and specifically, a fabulous little restaurant called "Konoba Levrnaka".. You will need to ring and book in advance, especially in the high season as pontoon mooring space will run out, The berth is included if you eat at the restaurant - and to be honest, why would you, as it is simply stunning as is the food and so fresh!. Made all the more special when the restaurant owner and chef (dressed in chef whites) are welcoming you in from the pontoon to take your lines ashore. Two waiters both called Goran so we decided to rename them "Goran 1" and "Goran 2" who were very attentive and professional and quite a laugh too. . Anyway, after more exploration of the islands, the Salt Lake in the National Park (Oh, and by the way, make sure you have the correct National Park ticket! ), Zut, Piskera, Tkon, and Stupica. Returning back to base we weren't the first yacht back, and again the same member at the base checked us back out. super efficiently. Then another team member took us across the old town across the harbour water in their rib. Great week-long holiday and what a super-efficient, friendly, and well-run team at the base - well-maintained yachts and I do have to mention @theglobesailor you did me proud again. !! Thanks and see you next year.!!

The boat in general was in great condition. It was end of season so some minor maintenance items were needed. (Bow thruster not working, several of mooring lines well worn, fwd stateroom fan not working, auto pilot not working). B'Elli sailed great, bunks were very comfortable, loved hot water shower off stern swim platform. Check in and check out was easy. We were early and stayed late and were provided storage for our luggage in the Viritas/4 Season office which was very nice and alloud us to explore Trogir town with ease. The boat operation lead was wonderful on the checkout and provided us great recommendations of island towns/coves we might consider. Weather was perfect the entire 2 weeks. Dubrovnik was very cool as well as HAVAR but Miljet Polace and Sucarue on SE end of HAVAR were very special. Highly recommend sailing in Croatia.
