Development of modern tourism, among other things, is characterized by development of special forms of tourist recreation. Nautical tourism, as a dedicated form of recreation, is a specific segment of tourist offer, and one of the most prominent and most represented forms of tourism in Croatia. Nautical tourism, as an activity, can be subdivided into nautical ports, charter, and cruising. Nautical ports and other objects that offer mooring and accommodation of vessels are defined in the Ordinance on Classification and Categorization of Nautical Tourism Ports and are classified as marinas, anchorage, mooring, and dry storage marinas. Ports for nautical tourism are becoming valuable actors of development and the most important infrastructural objects in the nautical tourism system. In this paper, I will analyse in more detail ports for nautical tourism in Split-Dalmatia County, give an overview of marinas and anchorages and tackle the problem of insufficient number of moorings, which is present all along Croatian coast, as well as in Split-Dalmatia County. The extension of capacity of existing establishments should be tackled with utmost care in order to preserve valuable natural resources, which are basic factors in development of nautical tourism.
