Split
Sail from From Split
ACI marina Split, with the harbors of two sailing clubs, protected by solid rock breakwater from southerly winds and rough seas, offers a glorious view of Split and its center – Diocletian’s Palace. It is at ACI Marina Split that the Split Lungomare begins; the longest and most certainly one of the most beautiful promenades in the Adriatic.
ACI marina Split was awarded the prize “Tourist Flower – Quality for Croatia” for third place in 2017 in the category of the best medium marina on the Adriatic, while in 2017 received the award for second place. ACI marina split is also the winner of the prestigious Blue Flag Award.
Reaching Split Marina
The city port of Split is a large ferry port, requiring extra caution when approaching. Ships leaving the port have the right of way in maneuvering, which it is advisable not to disrupt. It is also forbidden to anchor in any part of the port, except in emergencies. The port is entered through a wide passage marked by lights and daytime markings. When approaching the port, the following landmarks can be used: the prominent bell tower of the Cathedral of St. Domnius; Cape Sustipan; and a stone monument to seafarers in the shape of a lighthouse, which is in fact a lighted stone obelisk (Fl(2) W 20s 54m 10M).
On the port (left-hand) side of the stony Cape Sustipan, there is a red tower with a red light (Fl R 6s 9m 5M), while on the starboard (right-hand) side of the entrance to the port, on the head of the main breakwater, there is a prominent green lighthouse (Fl G 6s 11m 10M), equipped with a fog signal and 30-second horn. When approaching ACI’s marina, white rocks can be seen on the wooded peninsula of Sustipan, as can the inside breakwater at the eastern entrance to the marina, marked by a red tower with a column, gallery, and light (Fl R 2s 6m 3M). The reception building, restaurants, and workshops in the marina are also visible. When approaching the marina and the small ports to the west of it, steer closer to the head of the inside breakwater. As the area of the newly-built western waterfront has not been surveyed hydrographically, berthing there is forbidden, except when approaching the fuel station.
