Croatia - Security

Croatia Security for Yachts

Overall Crime and Safety

Crime levels in Croatia are low and violent crime is rare.

Specific areas of concern

Ports with cruise ship docks have enhanced security levels when cruise ships are in port due to terrorism concerns. Whilst on the whole most cruise ship docks are separate from yacht marinas/quays in Croatia, there are some ports where the 2 share the same quay. As the port authority secures the dock whilst the cruise ship is in port, with no prior warning, this can be very inconvenient for any yacht crew wishing to get off or on their boat. It is recommended to enquire, if berthing at a shared cruise ship dock, if/when the next cruise ship is expected so you can plan accordingly.

Maritime Issues

In common with many areas in Europe and elsewhere, dinghy theft can be a problem. Ensure that it is well secured to the boat with a chain and lock, lifted out of the water at night and that the outboard engine is as difficult to remove as possible.

See Security Reports Croatia for any incident reports.
