Kornati is a sailing destination in Croatia, comprising an archipelago of over 140 islands and islets scattered across the Adriatic Sea. The area has emerged as one of Europe's premier cruising grounds, offering sheltered anchorages, clear waters, and a mix of inhabited settlements and uninhabited coves. The region supports a mature charter fleet of nearly 2,1938 yachts and 28 marinas, making it accessible for both bareboat and crewed sailing across a range of vessel types and experience levels.

The Kornati islands themselves are largely protected within a national park, creating a distinctive sailing environment where exploration centers on natural beauty and maritime heritage rather than developed tourism infrastructure. The landscape is characterized by limestone formations, sparse vegetation, and a network of passages that reward careful navigation and local knowledge. This geography has shaped a sailing culture focused on seamanship, anchoring technique, and self-sufficiency.

Beyond the water, the destination offers around 70 day-charter and activity options, allowing sailors to extend their experience beyond passages and anchorages. These range from guided excursions to cultural and culinary encounters in nearby coastal towns. The combination of a substantial charter fleet, distributed marina network, and curated experiences reflects Kornati's position as an established sailing destination with infrastructure built to support extended cruising rather than quick visits.
