Marina Spinut, Split

Marina Spinut sits just outside Split's historic centre, giving you easy access to Diocletian's Palace and the old town without the chaos of anchoring in the thick of it. With over 1,100 berths split between two sailing clubs (PŠD Špinut and JK Split), it's one of the larger marinas on the Dalmatian coast and handles everything from wet slips to dry storage. It's a working, lived-in kind of place — less polished resort marina, more real local sailing hub — which honestly makes it more interesting.
