It is a 2nd time that Marina Punat won the Golden Anchor, Croatian national award for the best marina of the year in 2019. Renata B. Marević, the General Manager of Marina Punat, was happy to receive the award during the winner declaration ceremony at the Grand Hotel Park in Rovinj, on Monday, September 23.
The election of best marina of Adriatic is organized by leading daily media, Jutarnji list 3rd time in a row, in cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism and sponsored by Croatian National Tourist Board.
A nautical patrol consisting of six journalists and two researchers sailed Adriatic from Umag to Dubrovnik, visiting 34 marinas and conducting over 1000 polls among present boaters.
Marina Punat takes pride in being the winner of this award for the second time, as it confirms its leading position in quality and service, according to boaters experience and vote.
The largest marina of Northern Adriatic, Marina Punat hosts over 1300 boats on annual berths. Key reasons for the trust of boat owners are the proximity to the major boating markets of Germany, Austria and Slovenia paired with the highest standards in the boat security.
Safety of vessels is the main focus of development in Marina Punat, and it is firmly established as the leading marina when it comes to security measures management. Modern technology of boat sensors Sense4Boat is integrated with the marina management system MarinaCloud. This, combined with daily checking and video surveillance, makes for a world unique risk surveillance and security system, providing boat owners with an increased sense of safety and improving the overall safety of the marina. Marina Punat has been awarded several times for the innovations in safety measures and security systems and is successfully transferring this know-how to other marinas within the Mediterranean.
More than 1300 of boaters chose Marina Punat for their 2nd home and tend to spend here every day off, weeks, sometimes even months. Because of this, all of our services are available in full capacity throughout the year. Surely this was one of the reasons why in this same election Marina Punat was awarded the title "My favourite marina” in 2018.
A particular characteristic of Marina Punat is high loyalty of customers. Most of the resident boaters are recurring clients for a long time, mostly for its reliable quality and high environmental standards.
Marina Punat is the first bearer of the Blue Flag in Croatia and is proud to raise it 21 years in a row. It is also the first Croatian marina to own ISO 14001 certificate for environment maintenance and ISO 9001 for quality management. The international jury confirmed the overall quality and adherence to the highest standards, so Marina Punat was the first Croatian marina proud to bear Five anchors (THYA) and Five rudders (ADAC).
In 2019 Marina Punat is celebrating the 55th anniversary. Founded in 1964 it was the first marina in Croatia (then Yugoslavia) and ever since it is leading the innovations and setting standards in yachting. Awards, like this Golden Anchor, are a welcome confirmation of its success in an increasingly competitive market. They are also an encouragement to maintain sustainable development that is the foundation of a long-term success in yachting.

Via Crucis underwater museum is a private project owned by Blue Nautica company from Trogir and as such is the only "Stations of the Cross Under the Sea". The location of our underwater museum and private beach with aqua park is in the beautiful quiet bay of Jelinak in Municipality of Marina, only 2 nautical miles from Trogir.
In a wide range of our offer, with motorboat charter and diving in our diving center, Blue Nautica in Trogir operates as a renowned diving school. In order to offer our clients, charter guests, but also everyone else something new and unique, a refreshing tourist offer, a new tourist attraction, we came to the idea to create our own museum under the sea, which includes a private beach with aqua park. As a theme of the underwater museum, we chose Stations of the Cross with all the 14 Stations, because it does not exist anywhere in the world. The permanent exhibition of the museum consists of 14 stations with a total of 52 life-size statues and a large 8-meter tall statue of Jesus Christ in the form of 15th station – ‘’Resurrection of Jesus Christ’’.
All the statues are handmade, unique, made of concrete with ferrocement technique and as such are completely eco-friendly. The whole underwater story is set at a small depth of only 4 to 5 meters and the large 8-meter tall statue at a depth of 10 meters so that we can enable sightseeing to everyone - children and adults, experienced divers, complete scuba beginners, as well as to the ordinary swimmers. Behind us is a successful first year, and according to all indicators and overall reactions, we believe the future will be even more successful. Due to the overall experience provided by the site's attractions, the name "No Stress Zone" came
naturally. Anchorage is provided for boaters while scuba divers, scuba beginners, swimmers, families with children or groups of friends can board our motorboats on the Trogir waterfront.

Slovenia continued to deliver on day two of the RC44 Portorož Cup. With another light forecast, crew and race committee were relieved to arrive in Marina Portorož this morning to find a solid northeasterly breeze. Anticipating that this welcome situation might not last, PRO Peter Reggio coaxed crews off the dock early and managed to get the first race underway 20 minutes ahead of schedule.
In 12 knot winds and lumpy sea, Nico Poons and Charisma claimed the first race, showing a repeat of their form from the RC44 Calero Marinas Cup which the Monaco-based Dutchman’s team had won in March.
After race one there was a short pause afterwards to allow Team Nika and Aleph Racing time to effect repairs - the French boat had holed Team Nika’s transom with her bow just prior to the start but both continued racing.
The most impressive win of the day came from Chris Bake’s Team Aqua in race two. Winning the pin, they benefitted supremely out on the left side of the course. Coming in on the port layline, Team Aqua rounded the top mark more than 50m ahead – one of the biggest leads at this stage of a race recently seen in the RC44 class. Team Aqua extended around the rest of the race course to become the first boat to claim two bullets here in Slovenia.
A giant rain cloud over the land was playing havoc with the breeze which was disappearing by the end of race two, causing the fleet to be sent ashore. However they didn’t stay there long as an easterly breeze filled in enabling a third race to held in lighter flat water conditions. In this Team CEEREF led around the top mark, but a significant right shift enabled Torbjorn Tornqvist’s Artemis Racing to reach the leeward gate ahead. With conditions turning lake-like on the second upwind, the race was shortened at the top mark by which time Team CEEREF had regained the lead.
At this half way stage of the RC44 Portorož Cup the local favourites hold a three point lead overall.
