Marina and charter base, Trogir
ACI Marina Trogir
ACI Marina Trogir is a marina with 161 sea berths on Čiovo, across a narrow channel from Trogir's old town, open all year. It is 6 km by road from Split Airport. A 12 m boat pays €150 a night in July and August and a 12 m catamaran €300. Sailing yachts come in from the west.
All 54 facts on this page name their source, the latest checked on : 32 from the operator, 9 from official sources, 9 measured by us and 3 from third-party sources, such as pilot books and magazines, so treat those 3 as a guide. The sources disagree on one: the bridges east of the marina.

Saturday changeover at ACI Marina Trogir
Trogir is the closest charter base to Split Airport, so crews can land in the morning and be aboard by the afternoon. Most charter weeks start and end on a Saturday. Trogir's list has no weekend rate: a Saturday night in July costs the same as a Tuesday. (From the operator, )

The approach to ACI Marina Trogir, the bridges and shelter
From the west. Boats that can't pass under the bridge come in from the west, between Čiovo and Čelica rock. The green light on Cape Čubrijan, Fl G 2s, at 43°30.7′N 16°14.6′E, is the landmark. From the east, red and green buoys mark the way. (From the operator, )
Our answer: Don't plan on a bridge opening. Come in from the west, past Cape Čubrijan, and from Kaštela bay go round Čiovo. (Sources disagree, )
A movable bridge crosses the narrowest part of the channel, with a 25 m opening. A second movable bridge, mainland to Čiovo, lies 0.6 NM east, 25 m wide and 4.8 m high. The bridges open on request: Hydrographic Institute of the Republic of Croatia: Notices to Mariners 4/2021, correction 27 (Official source, )
The bridge from the old town to Čiovo doesn't open, and takes boats up to 2.6 m high. ACI's approach notes give it 2.8 m clearance, with 4.5 m of water under it: ACI Marina Trogir: its page on aci-marinas.com (From the operator, )
The channel north of the old town is only 2 m deep, so don't sail there. (From the operator, )
The Trogir channel takes boats with up to 4 m draught. (Official source, )
Within 300 m of the shore, in narrow channels and near harbours and anchorages, go no faster than 8 knots (Article 50). (Official source, ) HHI nautical charts (Official source, )
Shelter by wind
The marina lies on the Čiovo shore of the channel, facing the old town, with the mainland to the north and Čiovo's hill to the south.
- Maestral and jugofrom the northwest and southeast
- Trogir is exposed to westerlies and the jugo. Our cautious answer: don't count on a calm berth in a strong maestral or a jugo. Our skipper reviewer hasn't checked this yet. (Third-party source, )
- Burafrom the northeast
- ACI Marina Trogir is exposed to the bura. Our cautious answer: double your lines and fenders when a bura is forecast. Our skipper reviewer hasn't checked this yet. (Third-party source, )
- The currentin the channel
- A strong westerly current often makes steering hard. Slow down after the bridge, so your wash doesn't damage the moored boats. (Official source, )

How to read this forecast
Each part of the day shows its strongest hourly wind and gust, and its highest wave, in Croatian time. The words follow the Beaufort scale, and the model can't tell a real bura from any other northeast wind. How to read a model forecast

If ACI Marina Trogir is full
The town quay along the Riva is a class I.B county port: €5 a metre a day for a boat of 10.01 to 15 m, so €60 for a 12 m boat, all year. (Official source, ) Right below the old town. A current of up to 3 knots runs west past the Trogir quay, and the town is exposed to westerlies. Our cautious answer: allow for the current when you come alongside, and expect movement in a strong maestral. Our skipper reviewer hasn't checked this yet. (Third-party source, )
