Check-in day- Welcome to BIOGRAD, a small town but a big nautical center in north Dalmatia. When you are done with a check-in procedure and you’ve decided not to sail out the same day, we recommend watching the sunset in Lavender beach bar app 500m from Marina. If you have enough time, best is to visit the nearby nature park Vrana lake which is distant 5 km from Biograd. For a nice evening, we recommend beautiful Riva- There you can find along the coast a lot of nice fish restaurants where you can have a quiet dinner. Recommended- Konoba Vapor, Konoba Barba and restaurant Kaciol.

Biograd n/M
*It is a warm recommendation to hire a skipper, except for knowledge of the boats, local currents and winds, skippers are also familiar with the best restaurants and marinas, and will surely recommend you the best and most beautiful coves for enjoying and swimming.
Tips& tricks:

* Please do a good food supply (for 3-4 days) in Biograd before you leave the base!
* Tickets for National park Krka payable on the spot.
* Tickets for castle St. MIhovil and Barone, payable on the spot.
* For entrance in ACI Marina Piskera, we recommended to use nautical chards edition HHI – Split: 100- 20, 100-21, MK-14 and Plan 512. The approach of the marina between Panitula Vela and Piškera on the northwest side is shallow, dangerous due to the numerous reefs.
