Primošten was once a fishing village, settled on a small island, for better protection against raiders. After many centuries, the people of Primošten bridged the gap between their island and the mainland with stone dykes. Today, Primošten is a yachting hot spot that still retains the vibe of an Adriatic fishing settlement. Sailing is part of living for the locals in Primošten and because of that, they care in providing the best charter experience, either for one day boat trips, or weekly yachting excursions.
