Flying into Split and heading to Marina Mandalina in Šibenik? Book your split airport taxi in advance and your Go Shuttle driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with your name sign the moment you land. A private transfer from Split Airport to Marina Mandalina with Go Shuttle delivers your crew and all their gear directly to one of Croatia's most prestigious nautical addresses in just 48 minutes — door-to-door, no connections, straight from arrivals to the berth.
Marina Mandalina is a premium superyacht marina located on the Mandalina peninsula just outside Šibenik — a facility of international standing with over 460 berths, superyacht capability up to 120 metres, full technical services, and direct waterfront access to the extraordinary Šibenik archipelago and the nearby Kornati National Park. Its position as the home marina of the Regatta Šibenik sailing event and as a key base for the central Dalmatian superyacht circuit makes it one of the most recognisable marina addresses on the Croatian coast. Your Go Shuttle driver navigates directly to the marina entrance — 48 minutes from Split Airport arrivals.
Split Airport to Marina Mandalina, Šibenik
The transfer from Split Airport to Marina Mandalina is a 48-minute drive north along the Dalmatian coastal highway — a route that takes you past Kaštela Bay, through the Trogir area, and into the broader Šibenik region before arriving at the Mandalina peninsula. It's one of the most direct airport-to-superyacht-marina transfers on the Adriatic coast.
Leaving the terminal, your driver heads north past the seven Kaštela fortress villages and through the Trogir hinterland before continuing into the Šibenik region. As the road approaches Šibenik, the extraordinary estuary landscape of the Šibenik channel opens up — a deep-water fjord-like inlet where the Krka river meets the Adriatic, flanked by the walls of the St Nicholas Fortress (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) guarding the channel entrance. Marina Mandalina sits on the Mandalina peninsula just outside this channel on the northern shore — a sheltered, strategically positioned marina with immediate access to both the Šibenik archipelago and the Kornati island chain beyond.
Marina Mandalina has established itself as the leading premium marina in the Šibenik area, with infrastructure that accommodates the largest superyachts on the Adriatic alongside standard sailing and motor yacht berths. The marina's on-site facilities include a full technical service centre, fuel dock, a hotel, restaurants, a beach club, and direct road access to Šibenik city centre — with the UNESCO Cathedral of St James and the old town just minutes away.
Your driver will deliver your crew and all equipment directly to the Marina Mandalina entrance — 48 minutes after leaving Split Airport arrivals.
⚓ Marina tip: Marina Mandalina's position at the entrance to the Šibenik channel gives crews immediate access to one of the most navigationally interesting approaches in the Adriatic — the narrow channel passage past St Nicholas Fortress, with the UNESCO Cathedral of St James visible above the old town as you enter. Heading north from Mandalina, the route into the Šibenik archipelago (Prvić, Zlarin, Žirje) opens quickly, and the Kornati National Park islands are approximately 2–3 hours under sail. Krka National Park waterfall complex is accessible by boat up the Krka river from Šibenik town.
