Nautics in this area has existed for generations. Recently, there has been a great growth of boaters and tourists of nautical tourism. There is great potential in Croatia for the deve-lopment of a high level of nautical tourism. Croatia is a country with over 1100 islands, full of natural beauty and a pleasant Mediterranean climate, and as such has all the necessary condi-tions for its development. The problems that are currently hampering progress are visible through the seasonality of work, inadequately developed infrastructure and unbalanced supply. The concentration of work is reduced to the peak of the season, while the other mon-ths are less filled. Nautical tourism ports are mostly sparse and do not have enough accom-panying content for sailors to spend time and money on. The potential solution is seen thro-ugh the merger of different actors into cluster associations that would connect various partici-pants in nautical tourism in a common process and thus with better conditions and sharing common experiences would create a better background for development. In this way, some less developed regions along the sea can be developed, new jobs can be created and the deve-lopment of the entire gravitational area can be helped.
