Sukošan is a small town in the Central Dalmatia, located in a bay 10 km southeast of Zadar.

 

The city is located very close to the Kornati National Park (not far from Sibenik). We recommend you try local cuisine, water sports and visit the beaches, seven national parks. 

 

The streets of Sukosan have an amazing architecture that is reminiscent of Ancient Rome. There are numerous beaches for families with children: Jechi Rai, Zlatna Luka, Makarska, D-Marin Dalmacija. 

 

The port “Dalmatia” for 1,200 water places was built just here because the local Zlatna Luka Bay is reliably protected from the storms and the jugo wind.

 

As for the large regattas, a preparatory stage often occurs in Sukosan, including the yacht charter, registration, receiving flags, side numbers, and banners. After that, the participants move to the neighboring ports to start.

 

It is the perfect combination of nature with sports and recreational program. The long coast is full of numerous bays, pebbly beaches, and the water in the sea is crystal clear.

 

Sukošan is famous for its traditional narrow streets and promenades, as well as vineyards, olive groves, rich vegetation and hospitable locals. Have yourself a nice family vacation while discovering a new yachting experience.

Full recommendation. Great service & support. We chartered a Beneteau 45 in Athens for our trip around Peloponnes. Great service and perfect customer support from beginning to the end. Due to corona we had to postpone our trip - Sailica managed all the communication with the charter agency and negotiated a great new deal for us. This was already the 2nd time we charted with Sailica and it won't be the last time. Full recommendation

I took Dufour Grand Large 560 at Croatia using online yacht rental service sailica.com It's easy to use their mobile app with fair prices and enough quantity of boats which suits to my parameters. Their managers assisted me through whole communication with charter company. It was pleasant to receive a small gift – free of charge transfer from airport to marina. We didn't request it and appreciate their overexpected level of service.

Amazing 1 week in Turkey! I sailed with Sailica on a tour in the gulf of Fethiye in Turkey. Overall it was a great experience and a great crew, even if I did not know them before. The area is amazingly beautiful and if you go in April you can avoid the crowds. The skipper was very proficient and knew what he was doing. Highly recommended!

Great company! The guys answered all our questions which were very important since it was our first sailing experience. Moreover, they advised us not only on a charter but also on the tour itself. This was not the responsibility of the company, but we needed help and the company managers helped us for free. I highly recommend the team. The guys are really reliable, proactive and customer-oriented.
