ACI
-
ACI’s network consists of a total of 22 marinas, strategically positioned across the Adriatic Sea – from Umag in the north to Dubrovnik in the south. Year after year, ACI marinas keep winning awards in different categories – both at national and international levels. As many as two ACI marinas (Rovinj and Cres) have been given the rare and elite categorisation of five anchors. This means that clients are guaranteed top quality in terms of special terms, high-standard equipment, facilities and ways in which the service is delivered, amenities offered by the marina and application of environment-friendly principles in its day-to-day operations. Almost every marina has been awarded the Blue Flag, which guarantees, under strictly defined criteria, sustainable marine zone and land strip management of the marina.
Each marina, in addition to berth leasing and in cooperation with business partners leasing ACI’s commercial premises, offers a variety of different complementary service activities.
