How to get there

Marina Veruda is located just south of Pula’s historic center, in a well-sheltered bay along the coast - making it both beautiful and easy to reach, perfect for catamaran charters in Croatia.

The nearest airport is Pula Airport (PUY), just 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the marina, about a 15-20 minute drive to the marina.

Pula Airport has regular international flights, particularly during the sailing season (May to October), with direct connections from major European cities such as London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Vienna, and Zurich.

Seasonal flights also operate from Scandinavia and select UK regional airports.

Taxis are readily available outside the arrivals terminal. Rental cars are another good option if you're planning to explore Istria before or after your sailing trip. You can also contact your GlobeSailor charter advisor to arrange your transfer to and from the airport.

Buses operate from the airport to the city center, but they require an additional connection to reach the marina, which may be less convenient if you’re traveling with luggage or crew.

For ease and comfort, a taxi or pre-booked transfer is recommended.
