Posted by Captain Jim on the main Croatia page:
We have sailed the Adriatic for the last four years. This year, July 2017, we sailed into Umag from Italy to clear in. The police guy who checked our passports was in a foul mood and yelled at me several times, threatened me with fines and was clearly trying to get me to go on the counteroffensive. I spent 20 yrs in law enforcement and know the technique. As a Captain with a 100-ton license, I acted professionally and calmly. After 15 minutes of berating me and the US, he stamped our passports. This is not the guy you want representing Croatia and I filed several formal complaints.
Two meters away at another window, I had to clear with the harbormaster, a middle-aged woman who refused to issue us a sailing permit because I did not have my original USCG license (it hangs on a wall in my office). She said she was afraid of her boss and did not want to lose her job. I told her I understood and politely left for 8 days in Slovenia where we had no problems.
Goodbye Croatia and especially Umag.
Wi Fi is not available throughout the marina.On some piers it is fairly reliable, but the best place is in the Reception Office.
The marina restaurant is excellent.
