Marina Polesana

Marina Polesana is one of the newest marinas in Croatia, located in Pula Bay on the southern tip of Istria. Opened in 2019, it has quickly become an important hub for yacht charter thanks to its modern design, excellent infrastructure, and strategic location. For charter guests booking with CroatiaYachts.com, Marina Polesana offers a perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and access to both cultural and nautical treasures.

The marina is situated on the eastern side of Pula Bay, across from the city center. This location provides natural protection from winds and waves, ensuring safety for all moored yachts. Marina Polesana is designed to accommodate 400 berths for vessels up to 40 meters in length, each equipped with electricity, water, and WiFi. The layout is modern and spacious, with floating pontoons that make docking and maneuvering easier. Security is guaranteed through 24-hour surveillance and access control, providing peace of mind for charter clients.

One of Marina Polesana’s strongest assets is its modern technical infrastructure. A full-service boatyard with a travel lift of 500 tons allows even large yachts to be hauled for maintenance. Workshops provide repairs for engines, hulls, and electronics, making the marina an ideal choice for charter bases that require reliable service. For guests, this means that their yacht will be in top condition before departure, ensuring smooth sailing throughout their trip.

Provisioning is easy thanks to the marina’s proximity to Pula. Supermarkets, open-air markets, bakeries, and gourmet shops are all nearby. Guests often take the opportunity to stock up on local specialties such as Istrian truffles, olive oil, Malvazija (white wine), and Teran (red wine). Restaurants within the marina complex and in the city of Pula offer everything from casual dining to fine gastronomy, allowing guests to start their holiday with an authentic culinary experience.

From a nautical perspective, Marina Polesana is strategically positioned. Sailing north, crews can visit Rovinj, Vrsar, Poreč, and Novigrad, while heading south opens routes to Cres, Lošinj, Rab, and other Kvarner islands. For week-long charters, itineraries often include both Istrian towns and island-hopping in Kvarner, while longer journeys can extend into Dalmatia. The sheltered waters of northern Adriatic make this area particularly suitable for relaxed sailing with family or friends.

Accessibility is another advantage. Pula Airport is only 7 kilometers away, offering direct flights to numerous European cities. The marina is also connected by road to Slovenia, Austria, and Italy, making it easily accessible for guests arriving by car. This logistical convenience, combined with modern facilities, makes Marina Polesana a rising star among Adriatic marinas.

Marina Polesana is more than just a modern harbor—it represents the future of nautical tourism in Istria. With its state-of-the-art infrastructure, excellent services, and proximity to both Pula’s cultural landmarks and Adriatic sailing routes, it is an ideal embarkation point for charters booked through CroatiaYachts.com.
