Very beautiful sailing area with lots of small islands and a few nice places. However, it was confirmed again that it is not for beginners. In a rapidly approaching thunderstorm at anchor, the wind direction changed again by 180° with up to 7 Bft (5 in gusts announced). We saw many lost anchors, torn sails and tears again (5th to 6th September '24). Anyone who cannot handle such situations should look for another sailing area and always ask the locals about the weather.
Sehr schönes Segelgebiet mit vielen kleinen Inselchen und ein paar netten Orten. Allerdings hat sich wieder bestätigt, dass es nichts für Anfänger ist. In einem schnell aufziehenden Gewitter vor Anker hat sich die Windrichtung mal wieder um 180° gedreht mit bis 7 Bft (5 in Böen angekündigt). Wir haben wieder viele verlorene Anker, zerfetzte Segel und Tränen gesehen (5. auf 6. September '24). Wer solche Situationen nicht beherrscht, sollte sich ein anderes Segelgebiet suchen und auf jeden Fall immer die Locals nach dem Wetter fragen.

Beautiful sailing area, however the Kornati islands were rather barren and dry.
Mooi vaargebied, echter de Kornati eilanden waren nogal dor en droog.

If you have an idea of what you would like to rent,  it is advisable to book early, preferably in autumn for the coming summer. If you are flexible with regard to dates and boat models, you will usually find smaller motor boats at short notice.
