Kornati & Telašćica Private Boat Tour from Zadar — Full-Day Yacht Excursion
Select participants and date
The motor settles into a steady hum and the old stone quay of Uvala Maestral slips away behind you. Salt air fills the cockpit, and the Jeanneau Cap Camarat 6.5 WA cuts through glassy Adriatic water as islands start to stitch themselves across the horizon: low, karst-strewn shapes lifting out of a turquoise sea. With space for six and a local skipper at the helm, the day opens as a private passage through two of Croatia’s least ordinary maritime reserves — Kornati National Park and Telašćica Nature Park.

Adventure Tips
Bring reusable water
The sun and salt dry you out fast—carry at least 2 liters per person and refill a daypack bottle before boarding.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses protect during long exposed transits.
Prepare for light walking
Telašćica has short lookout trails with rocky surfaces—sturdy sandals or trainers provide traction.
Pack seasickness remedies
Even on calm days, choppy patches can hit—ginger, wrist bands or medication help you enjoy snorkeling stops.
Local Insights
Wildlife

History
The Kornati and surrounding islands have been used intermittently by fishermen and seasonal shepherds for centuries; their sparse vegetation reflects a long history of grazing and salt-weathered limestone.
Conservation
Both parks are protected areas—follow your skipper’s guidance on moorings, avoid disturbing seagrass beds and take all rubbish back to Zadar for disposal.
