Marina Martinis Marchi in Maslinica – berths, services and arrival by boat
Marina Martinis Marchi is situated in the sheltered bay of Maslinica, directly in front of the historic Martinis Marchi castle. This small, well-maintained marina caters to sailing boats, motorboats, and larger yachts, and due to its location on the western side of Šolta, it is frequently used as a stopover for journeys between Split, Trogir, Vis, Hvar, and other central Dalmatian islands.
The marina is part of a complex that includes a heritage hotel, restaurant, and coastal area. Although the ambience is more refined than that of a typical island port, the marina is conveniently located in the heart of Maslinica, making shops, cafés, restaurants, and the waterfront promenade easily accessible on foot.
How many berths does Marina Martinis Marchi have?
The marina has 50 fully equipped berths. Each berth is equipped with an electrical connection and drinking water, and mooring is facilitated with mooring lines.
Within the protected area of the marina, vessels up to approximately 40 metres in length can be accommodated. Larger yachts can be moored on the outer side of the breakwater, where official information indicates the possibility of accommodating vessels up to 80 metres in length. The maximum stated draft is 12 metres, but the actual depth of each berth depends on its location within the marina, so arrangements for larger yachts should be made in advance.
For catamarans, wider vessels, and larger yachts, reservations are particularly important as not every berth is suitable for every width and length of vessel.
Facilities and services at the marina
The following are available at the berths:
- electricity
- drinking water connection
- sanitary facilities and showers
- Wi-Fi
- video surveillance
- reception and assistance with mooring
Electrical connections range from 16 to 125 A, making the marina suitable for larger motor yachts with higher energy demands. The marina operates year-round, while the restaurant, hotel, café, and some additional facilities primarily operate seasonally.
Adjacent to the marina is a stone coastline with a small amphitheatre where concerts, performances, and other events can be held during the season. Nearby are Restaurant Martinis Marchi and a café, with several other restaurants located a few minutes away in the centre of Maslinica.
Entering Maslinica and accessing the marina
Maslinica is located on the western coast of Šolta, opposite a group of seven islets. When approaching, it is essential to follow official nautical charts and be cautious of shallows and rocks between the shore and the islets.
Particular attention should be paid to the shallows between the islets Polebrnjak and Saskinja, as well as between Saskinja and the Šolta shore. Nautical sources also warn of the Kamičić rock and the shallow area extending west and southwest of the harbour.
The marina operates on VHF channel 17. It is advisable to contact the reception before entering, confirm your reservation, and await instructions from the staff regarding the exact mooring location.
During the peak season, it is not advisable to enter without prior notice and assume that a free berth will be available, especially in the late afternoon when a larger number of boats arrive in Maslinica.
Protection from wind and waves
Maslinica is a naturally sheltered bay, with the marina's breakwater providing additional protection. Inner berths are generally calmer than the outer side of the breakwater, which is more exposed to the sea and weather conditions.
Despite the good protection, it is advisable to check the forecast before arrival, particularly with stronger westerly and south-westerly winds. A berth on the outer side of the breakwater is not equivalent to one within the basin, so for larger vessels, safety and positioning should be discussed directly with the marina.
Does the marina have a fuel station?
The official list of services at Marina Martinis Marchi does not include a fuel station. The nearest island fuel station is located in Rogač, near the ferry port on the eastern side of Šolta.
It is therefore best to refuel before arrival or to include a trip to Rogač in your itinerary. Before departure, it is advisable to check the current operating hours of the station as these may vary depending on the season.
Berth prices and reservations
The price for a daily berth depends on the overall length of the vessel, the duration of stay, and the mooring location. The marina publishes a separate price list for daily berths and temporary stays, with prices varying by season. The current price list is available on the marina's official website:
https://www.martinis-marchi.com/marina
For an accurate quote, the following information is required:
- overall length of the vessel
- width and draft
- type of vessel
- date and expected time of arrival
- number of nights
- special requirements for electricity
Reservations are recommended throughout the summer, and for July and August, they are practically mandatory. Catamarans, motor yachts, and all vessels requiring a stronger electrical connection should be announced in advance.
Location in relation to Maslinica
One of the marina's greatest advantages is its proximity to the old town centre of Maslinica. It takes just a few minutes on foot from the berths to reach the waterfront promenade, restaurants, fast food outlets, cafés, and a small shop.
Punta Beach, also known as Maslinica Beach, is located west of the town centre and can be reached by a pleasant walk along the coast. The Šešula bay, featuring the restaurants Šišmiš and Konoba Šešula, lies south of Maslinica and can be visited on foot or by boat.
In front of Maslinica are seven islets, which are a distinctive part of the view from the harbour and a popular area for a short kayaking or small boat excursion.
Arrival by land
Maslinica can be reached by car from Rogač, the main ferry port on Šolta. The drive through Grohote and Donje Selo takes approximately 15 minutes. The ferry crossing from Split to Rogač takes about one hour.
The marina is located next to the Martinis Marchi castle, at Put sv. Nikole 51. The approach through Maslinica can be narrow in places, so it is advisable to drive slowly and watch for pedestrians, especially during the peak season.
Guests arriving by land should check parking availability in advance, as the area immediately adjacent to the castle and marina does not have a large public car park.
Who is Marina Martinis Marchi most suitable for?
Marina Martinis Marchi is a good choice for sailors who wish for:
- a safe and well-maintained berth in the western part of Šolta
- connections for water and electricity
- a berth for a larger sailing or motor yacht
- a restaurant and other facilities right by the berth
- a quieter location than large city marinas
- a starting point for Vis, Hvar, Split, and Trogir
It is less suitable for crews that require a fuel station or a large service centre for more complex repairs at every stop.
The marina's greatest advantage is the combination of a secure berth and its location within the town. After mooring, there is no need for a car or taxi – Maslinica, restaurants, the promenade, and the historic castle are all immediately by the waterfront.
