The marina acts as a starting point for the nautical route to the UNESCO-listed city of Trogir, located just a few nautical miles to the west.
It maintains a 'Blue Flag' status, indicating strict adherence to environmental protection standards for water and land quality.
The shipyard area is capable of performing specialized fiberglass, engine, and stainless steel repairs for vessels up to 100 meters in length.
Marina Kastela is a large-scale, deep-water yacht marina located in the Gulf of Kastela between the historic cities of Split and Trogir. It features 420 berths for yachts up to 100 meters, supported by comprehensive maintenance facilities including a 60-ton travel lift and a 200-ton boat lift. The facility serves as a primary charter base in the Adriatic, hosting numerous international regattas and sailing events annually. Beyond its nautical infrastructure, the site contains restaurants, a fitness center, and professional marine services. Its sheltered location behind the Kozjak mountain range provides natural protection from prevailing winds. The marina grounds occupy the area formerly associated with the heritage site of Kaštel Gomilica. It remains fully operational as of July 2026, maintaining its status as a vital link in the Croatian nautical tourism network.
