Skradin, Croatia is a captivating riverside town nestled at the head of the Krka River estuary, serving as the principal gateway to Krka National Park and its world-famous waterfalls. One of the smallest towns in Croatia, Skradin punches far above its weight with a history stretching back to the Illyrian tribe of the Liburnians and a Roman past as the fortified settlement of Scardona. Today, this enchanting harbour town draws yacht travellers who navigate the winding, canyon-lined estuary to reach Skradin marina — one of the most atmospheric berthing experiences on the entire Croatian coast. From here, the thundering cascades of Skradinski Buk waterfall are just a short boat ride away, making Skradin the essential base for anyone wishing to explore the Krka waterfalls from the water. For those planning a crewed yacht charter in Croatia, Skradin offers a unique freshwater berthing experience combined with access to one of the country’s most spectacular natural wonders.
