Crucero en la Marina Frapa (RO)

JesúsOur port base (Marina Frapa) was located 35 min. away from the Split Aiport. It is close to Rogoznica (10 min. on food). Nice coastal village with many local restaurants (check 'Restaurant Antonijo') and pubs. The check-in was quite fast (30 min. aprox, including the paperwork). The boat was in perfect conditions, two weak points only: left-rear cabin had bad smells (fuel, toilet) and fuel indicator doesn't display the status of the tank until it was consumed around 40% of the fuel (instead, we calculated 5L per hour). Max. speed at 2500 rpm is around 7.3 knots. Sailing-wise, we could reach 7.5 knots with 15-18 knots of wind (close-hauled 30º-50º). Batteries worked pretty OK (considering fridge was quite big). Boat had even a tap of saltwater, quite useful for washing. During the 2 weeks of sailing, we visited Primosten, Otok Kaprije, ACI Marina Zut, Veli Rat (including snorkel of the shipwreck close to Otok Veli Lagan), Otok Kakan, Uvala Ostrica, Sevid Bay, Otok Tijat, ACI Marina Vodice, Sibenik, ACI Marina Skradin, Uvala Statival, Telascica Bay and Otok Vela Smokvica. Everyplace was amazing!!!! I recommend all of them. The only weak point is the lack of fuel stations in that area, please watch out the fuel level and fill the tank whenever possible just in case. My experience with both Globe Sailor and the charter company was quite good. I also recommend them: friendly, constant support, professional, etc. This was our 6th summer in Croatia and I'll repeat for sure!!!!!! Nice bays, friendly people, amazing cuisine, good weather, wild... a mediterranean paradise!!!!!!!
