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.


 

Small boats and yachts bearing flags of Schengen area countries no longer need to stop for border and customs control when sailing in. This also applies to third country vessels. Crews of these vessels coming into Croatia from ports in the Schengen area or heading to such ports will no longer be subject to any form of border control, even when sailing through international waters. An exception will be made for cases where border control is deemed necessary due to risk analysis.

When entering in Croatian waters, e.g. from Italy or Slovenia, the navigation safety fee has to be paid. Crew list is no longer required.

Unfortunately, the navigation safety fee has to be paid directly at the harbor master's office or branch office.
 

Only marina residents were able to use these charging stations until now. All our guests will be able to access them from now on at a surcharge.

You can use the e-charging station via the "NEXTCHARGE" mobile application. The charging price per kW/h is 0,60 €.
The application is free and does not require registration or creation of a user account.  
You can create a user account to add funds to your account/wallet in advance.

Below are brief instructions on how to activate the "NEXTCHARGE" application:

• Download your "NEXTCARGE" application via Google Play / Apple APP Store. The home page of the application is also a map with all e-charging stations in your immediate vicinity.
• Choose desired charging station manually or by scanning the QR code located above each socket. The option to scan the QR code is located in the upper right corner of your "NEXTCHARGE" application homepage. By scanning the QR code, you directly access the desired outlet.  When choosing outlet manually you should pay attention to the designated ID number of the outlet located below the QR code (eg: IT*GES*EJNX) to make sure that you have chosen the correct outlet.
• After selecting the desired outlet, the application prompts you to choose a payment method. You have to enter your credit card number so that the payment can be made. To confirm and start charging, the application will charge a one-time amount of € 15 to ensure payment, which will be returned to your account within 24 hours from the end of charging. The payment will be made after the charging has been completed and concluded.
• If you wish to avoid entering data from the card at each top-up, you may create a user account. Funds can be added to your account in advance. After the first top-up of your account/wallet, a "NEXTCHARGE" RFID card will be delivered to your home address for easier use of the charging station.
• After charging, the application will send you a push notification informing you that the charging has been completed successfully.
• Upon charging, it is necessary to check out the further use of the charging station and remove the car from the parking spot.
• To ensure prompt release of the station for other users, the application charges an amount of € 0.10 per minute spent at the charging station after charging has been completed.

You will find the repair station at the road leading to the Yacht Service, and you can purchase the tokens for the vacuum cleaner at the marina reception at 7 kn a piece.

For inflating boat tenders and fenders, you can still use the air compressor at the entrance of our maintenance service workshop.

Certain areas are still limited for pets, so we have strategically placed several poles and links near bathrooms, reception and grocery stores, so you can park your dog while you enter to do your business. 

All of our restaurants are pet friendly, as long as you ensure your dog does not disturb other guests.

Look for a sign like this and tie your dog before entering marina office, bathrooms or stores.

However, at the season's peak, we come short of parking spaces, no matter how many parking lots we build. Therefore we have exceptionally allowed the clients of Dry Dock, Dry Berth and Dry Marina services to park their vehicle at the place of their dry berth while their vessel is in the sea.

Our daily visitors, clients in transit and charter guests are invited to park their vehicles in front of the Hotel Kanajt and take advantage of the daily parking fee, which is more convenient than the hourly rate charged in the marina. That parking fee can be paid at parking machines in the marina and at the exit toll gate.

Every year we try to increase the number of parking spaces, because we are aware that in the peak season, when we have the largest number of visitors, more parking space is required. In order to better organize this much-needed service, we have enabled the users of the DRY DOCK service to park their vehicles at the contract place of the boat, while the vessel is in the sea.
Vehicle access to the marina is still possible as before, with the note that you can use a free hour of parking, and then return the vehicle to the contract position in a dry marina.

We would like to remind you that the marina is not registered as a camping site. Caravans cannot be received at the area of the marina. Campers used as personal vehicles have a designated parking lot above the garages. Caravans may never be connected to a power outlet, and accommodation in these vehicles is not allowed.
