Autumn delights at our Marina restaurant

Immerse yourself in the earthiness of fresh mushrooms picked from nearby forests and expertly incorporated into our signature dishes. Let the first drops of the new cold pressed olive oil be your new culinary experience. Have a delicious taste of the true Mediterranean with every bite.

Open up your appetite with a cold appetizer, such as polenta with cod paté and black truffles or the Vejan platter that serves “Žužić” products from the island of Krk (prosciutto, sausage, pork greaves, dried pork loin (ombolo)).  Chase away the cold and damp with a creamy soup made from pumpkin or mushrooms and relish our orzotto with octopus and home-made bread that we prepare each day. Slow-cooked tuna with home-made gnocchi, shark stakes fried in rice flour with arugula salad and potato, and salted fish evoke warmer summer days, while our vanilla ice-cream with toasted pumpkin seeds is a perfect blend of summer and winter. You could finish off your autumn lunch or dinner with a sweet snack, an espresso and a glass of fig liqueur.

Wrap yourself in the warm embrace of autumnal fragrances as our chefs expertly add seasonal herbs and spices to each dish to create a symphony of taste and fragrance that embodies the autumn harvest. From savoury appetizers to fragrant main courses and exquisite desserts, our carefully prepared menu promises to be an unforgettable dining experience.

Join us at the Marina restaurant and embark on a culinary journey rich with autumn fruits and vegetables. Enjoy the seasonal delicacies and each moment spent in the pleasant ambience of our new restaurant.

Special recognition to Marina Punat for significant financing in nautical tourism

The first and largest marina in the northern Adriatic continues its dedication to innovation and investments, paving the way for nautical tourism.

Marina Punat Group is known for its strategic commitment to systematically renovating and innovating all infrastructure to ensure an impeccable experience for boaters. In the same year, two significant investments were realized within the heart of the marina, both in record time.

Last year, Punat Shipyard celebrated its 100th anniversary since its founding. On that occasion, a development strategy for the coming years was presented. A significant aspect of this strategy is a stronger focus on maintaining larger recreational and luxury vessels. With this goal in mind, preparations for a new travel lift with a capacity of up to 500 tons for vessels up to 16 meters wide began. This is the largest lift of its kind on our side of the Adriatic, enabling the lifting and maintenance of larger motor yachts and increasingly popular catamarans. In 2023, the lift was delivered and installed, with operations expected to commence by the end of this year.
Marina Punat will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2024, marking the establishment of nautical tourism on the Adriatic. To commemorate this milestone, the "Marina" restaurant underwent a complete transformation in less than 12 months. The old restaurant was demolished to its foundations, and a new, larger, and more modern structure was built in its place, featuring a two-story restaurant with multiple thematic areas. What's most significant, though not visible, is the exceptionally large and modern kitchen designed to prepare food according to the highest standards, hinting at ambition in the culinary world. With multiple open and closed terraces, a large lounge area, and stunning views from the intimate upper level, the restaurant offers boaters and other visitors a variety of experiences and ever-changing views of the boats.

Despite being the oldest in this part of the Adriatic, thanks to continuous investments, Marina Punat certainly keeps pace with the times and remains at the forefront of Croatia's nautical offerings.

At the awards ceremony in Rovinj, the Gold Sail was awarded to ACI Marina Rovinj, while the Silver went to ACI Marina Palmižana, and the third place was awarded to Marina Frapa in Rogoznica. The friendliest Croatian marina is Marina Korkyra in Vela Luka on Korčula, and the gastronomy award was given to ACI Marina in Dubrovnik. A special award for ecology went to Cres, once again to an ACI marina.

The Nautical Patrol Award of Jutarnji List is a recognition of quality in nautical tourism presented by one of Croatia's leading daily newspapers - Jutarnji List, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and the Croatian Chamber of Commerce. The nautical expedition, composed of journalists and a nautical jury, has been sailing continuously for seven years from Umag to Dubrovnik, visiting marinas and anchorages along the Adriatic coast and systematically evaluating their offerings. The awards and recognitions are primarily the result of assessments by hundreds of surveyed sailors and then the nautical jury.

Marina Punat has raised its Blue Flag again

A Symbol of Environmental Excellence: The Blue Flag is an internationally recognized eco-label awarded by FEE - Foundation for Environmental Education to beaches and marinas for sustainable tourism. Holders of this eco-label must meet stringent environmental standards. Marina Punat's remarkable achievement of receiving this esteemed accolade for the 26th time in a row is a testament to its unwavering commitment to preserving the surrounding marine ecosystem and maintaining high environmental standards.

Marina Punat has consistently demonstrated its dedication to sustainable practices and initiatives, which have played a pivotal role in its continuous success in earning the Blue Flag recognition since 1998. The marina has implemented various environmental measures, including efficient waste management systems, use of renewable energy sources and the promotion of sustainable transportation options.
Furthermore, Marina Punat has been actively involved in educational programs and awareness campaigns to foster a sense of environmental responsibility among its staff, guests, and the local community. These initiatives have not only contributed to the preservation of the marine ecosystem but have also created a culture of sustainability that extends beyond the marina's boundaries.

Marina Punat's achievement is a reminder of the crucial role that responsible tourism plays in protecting our precious seawaters. It serves as an invitation for visitors and boaters to not only experience the beauty of the Adriatic coastline but also to appreciate and contribute to its long-term preservation.

Providing substantial donations

FUNDING VARIOUS ASSOCIATIONS
Local associations had the opportunity to apply for funding with activities benefiting children, young people and senior citizens, including education/training and sports and recreation projects for people of all ages, environmental and marine protection content, traditional tourism offer preservation projects, cultural and artistic projects and agricultural development projects (for Mediterranean cultures).
Evaluation of the project proposals submitted was followed by the selection of projects meeting the competition criteria. Punat locals were given the chance to vote for the projects they found the most important via an anonymous survey.
The Marina Punat Group which comprises the Marina Punat and the Punat Shipyard thereby provided substantial donations to the best five island projects. Locals gave the most votes to the “Daddyhood Croatia” fathers’ association’s Dadathlon Festival 2023, the Sopile Players Association of the Island of Krk’s “Sopile Days” festival, the “Orebica” Krk hunting association’s “Hawk” hunting unit with their Punat hunting area development program, the “Hope – Rijeka” (“Nada – Rijeka”) Women’s Breast Surgery Patient Association’s breast cancer prevention and early detection project, and the Matica Hrvatska Krk Branch project for the publication of the “Štorije zi škafetina” (“Tales from the Drawer”) book.
Last year’s donations were awarded to four associations, two of which were related to sports projects – the Krk Island majorettes and the Krk Karate Club. The “Srcem za Punat” (“Heart for Punat”) Association received aid for their robotics and 3D modelling project for children from 7 to 15 years of age, while the Punat Elementary School received funding for a literary corner and a comic book section.
The Marina Punat and the Punat Shipyard plan to allocate funds to various associations and sports clubs in the years to come as well, especially those that include children, young people, and our county locals.

 

 
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT DONATIONS
The Group has been supporting local medical facilities via equipment donations as well. We have donated a mobile ultrasound device to the Krk Emergency Medical Services which will be used for the rapid diagnostics of a series of conditions when providing emergency care in the field. The Punat Infirmary has received a valuable aspirator – a device used to treat acute respiratory distress donated by the very same Marina Punat. Oxygen therapy devices have been procured as well, with six oxygen concentrators donated to the Krk Island Health Centre.
