BERTHS

Marina Dalmacija with its 1200 berths is the largest Croatian marina. It has been constructed of massive, made of concrete piers, length from 50 up to 85 meters.

At the Marina entrance and in the central part of Marina bay, the depth ranges from 4 up to 10 meters.

Marina Dalmacija offers to its annual berth holders possibility of using the allocated berth for their vessels only. In this case visitor’s boats couldn’t be moored on the berth allocated to their vessel during its absence from the Marina. The right to the exclusive use of this berth for the particular boat increases annual berthing fee by 20% . With an Amendment both contractual parties agree to change item 5. Article 8. of the Berth Use Contract. More information could be obtained from Marina Office. A special attention is paid to the safety of the vessels.Therefore they are moored stern toward pier using the four rope mooring system. To fasten a bow a pair of 20 mm thick anchoring ropes , attached to the galvanized chains and fixed to the concrete block on the sea bottom, is used. Bitter part of the mooring rope is fastened to the bollard on the pier.

Berths for mega yachts
Mega yacht berths on the peninsula, called boxes, are used to accomodate boats from 20 to 25 metres. Each box safely accomodates two boats which are moored allongside. All berths are equipped with high quality water and electricity supply bollards. In line with European standard, these bollards supply the boats with three-phase electrical service of 16 amps, 32 amps and 63 amps. Water outlets are of 1 inch. Increasing difficulty of finding a berth for large yachts and 100 percent occupancy of current berths resulted in construction of additional mega yacht berths. In July 2009, part of the pier no. 28 with 19 new berths for the yachts in range from 25 up to 40 metres were released for use. At these berths yachts are moored stern toward pier using the four rope mooring system.
