Tehnomont Marina Veruda as been awarded the "Blue Flag", the international eco-label for the environmental protection. Even the Napoleon's engineers with Beautemp-Beaupresom at the head, found out by drawing the coast and by measuring the water depth how favourable the position Marina Veruda has.
The islands, Veliki and Mali Fraškeri (Fraškeri?) and Veruda (Fratarski otok) adornments the entrance into the port, where on the left we enjoy the view of Punta Verudela with its beaches, exclusive hotel Histria and sports- recreational facilities.
Looking from our moorings, we can see Bunarina and Ribarska Koliba, the favourite meeting locations of the locals and their guests.. and the hills , Zelin, Volaria and Rastovica, at our backs, fend us from all winds.
We find ourselves, namely, at the place that in ancient times used to be a shield to ships. It is here, near the newly build Church of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of marines and sailors, where the anchors are dropped and weighed.
From this favourable place they sail along the western Istrian coast towards Triest and Venice. As soon as we pass by Cape Kamenjak, by greeting the 31meter high lighthouse Porer, we feel the breath of the Kvarner gulf and of its islands, a breath which will lead our way to the Croatian Adriatic towards northern, middle and southern Dalmatia.
Marina Veruda is the navigation home, the landmark and the sign-post. Marina Veruda has 610 berths in the sea and 150 places on the land; vessel length between 6 and 15 m.
