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.
This stop is part of our crewed yacht charter in Croatia, from our base in Šibenik.
