Murter

Murter, an island bridged to the mainland, is the gateway to the Kornati: three marinas, Betina's wooden boatbuilding tradition and a short hop to the national park.

Murter is linked to the mainland by an opening bridge at Tisno. There are four villages on the island: Tisno, Jezera, Betina and Murter. People from Murter own most of the land on the Kornati, and Betina keeps alive the craft of building wooden boats, to which a museum is also dedicated.

With so many marinas in a small area, Murter is one of the largest charter bases on the Adriatic. The first Kornati islands are about ten miles away. The bridge at Tisno opens at set times, so boats with a mast that want to pass through the Murter Channel should check the schedule.

For boaters

Marina Hramina in Murter, marina Betina and ACI marina Jezera, a quay in Tisno. Anchorages in the bays of Kosirina, Slanica and Čigrađa on the outer coast.

Anchorages

  • Uvala Kosirina

    Sheltered from Bura, Tramontana, Maestral

    Open to Oštro, Lebić, Jugo

    A roomy bay beside a campsite on the south-west side of Murter, open to the south, south-west and south-east. The seabed is sand, but the sources disagree on how well it holds, so set the anchor carefully. In season there are also paid buoys.

  • Zminjak

    Sheltered from Bura, Jugo

    Open to Pulenat

    The buoys and the jetty belong to Konoba Zminjak on the south-west shore of the islet and are free for its guests; sources give 11 to 13 buoys. Along the jetty, about 120 m long, there is 4 m at the head and about 2.5 m towards the shore. Fast motorboats run through the passage towards Murter for most of the day and night, so wash and noise are a nuisance.
