The marina states three hundred berths in the water and two hundred on the hard.

It sits under the Zadar port authority and describes itself as a departure point for the archipelago, which is the practical case for basing here rather than further down the coast. The islands in front of the city are reachable within an easy day's sail, and the Old Town, the market and the restaurants are on foot from the berth.
