Why explore Pakoštane by boat?
Pakoštane sits in northern Dalmatia, the stretch of coast facing the densest scatter of islands and islets anywhere on the Adriatic, and it works well as a starting point for a day on the water. Channels between the mainland and the islands stay comparatively protected, and the Kornati and Telašćica areas are within reach of a longer day out. Pašman, Biograd na Moru and Murter are among the places within reach, so a rental here can be anything from a couple of hours in a nearby bay to a full day of exploring.

A little local history
Northern Dalmatia has been settled since antiquity, with Roman foundations beneath many towns, long centuries of Venetian rule visible in the fortifications and bell towers, and a maritime economy built on fishing, salt and coastal trade. Pakoštane shares that background, and traces of it are visible around the old harbour and the centre of town.
