Dry Dock at Marina Punat: Less Hassle, More Time for Pleasure

Thanks to its direct bridge connection to the highway and its own nearby airport, the island of Krk and Marina Punat represent one of the most accessible nautical destinations for guests from Central Europe.

This nautical resort, often called a 'second home' by its patrons, offers an ideal solution for owners who wish to preserve the value of their vessel but lack the time to sail more than a few times a year.

Key benefits of the dry dock

• Preservation of vessel value
• Lower mooring costs
• Reduced maintenance expenses
• No hull fouling or corrosion
• Protected propulsion and Z-drive / S-drive systems
• Direct access from the dry dock
• Electricity and water available at the dry berth
• Option to stay overnight on the yacht
• Rapid launching and hauling
• On-demand launching and hauling

Security in all weather conditions

Marina Punat is a modern facility and the oldest marina on the eastern Adriatic coast. It is the choice of yachtsmen seeking trust, security, and premium service. When the yacht is in the water, guests with a Dry Dock berth enjoy a 50% discount on transit mooring and a permanent 50% discount on crane services.

A yacht kept in dry storage retains higher value, and the owner has fewer worries. The Proactive Boat Care monitoring system, featuring live cameras at the yacht’s position and regular weekly personal inspection reports, ensures complete peace of mind. 

Owners may also stay overnight on their yacht while it is in dry storage. The Dry Dock system offers direct access just as it would in the water, along with dedicated power and water pedestals. Guests at Marina Punat also have access to modern, well-maintained, and smartly designed bathroom and toilet facilities.

Preservation of propulsion systems

'Some guests do not even apply anti-fouling coatings to their vessels. After sailing, they leave the cleaning and polishing to our service teams, and the boat is then conserved,' note the team at Marina Punat, adding: 'At classic wet slips, a yacht is constantly exposed to water, humidity, and condensation. In dry storage, critical systems such as the engine drive, Z-drive, and S-drive are protected, and the service life of components like water intake and discharge fittings is significantly extended.'

Within the group, numerous partner companies operate to provide all supporting services required for yacht care. This includes the option for a partner company to handle launching and hauling, ensuring the yacht is ready in the water upon the owner’s arrival and safely returned to the Dry Dock afterward.
