Where are we and our location


We are located between the two jewels of the Adriatic Sea - Kornati and Krka

Our sailing school is placed in ACI Marina Jezera on the island Murter, in the heart of Dalmatia. Jezera is a small town on the southeast side of the island, which is connected to the land with drawbridge over a narrow sea passage. The town is indent in bay shaped like horseshoe which is surrounded with gentle hills. Due to its natural position the town is not exposed to strong wind gusts so its bay is ideal for docking and ship habitation. Jezera, once exclusively a fisherman town, is still known as the most important starting point for fishing Adriatic tuna. Natural gift, beauty and indentedness of Adriatic Sea coast, something unusual and rare presents intrinsically encounter with sea. More >>>
