The Zadarska Koka Regatta:
The Zadarska Koka regatta is a celebration of the city’s long-standing relationship with the sea.
Organized by the renowned Uskok Sailing Club, the event reflects a maritime culture that dates back decades, a tradition that has been carefully cultivated in Zadar.
The Uskok club itself began as the Pomorsko brodarsko društvo in 1948, so members have been building and sailing boats for over 70 years, with a commitment to passing on these skills to younger generations. Today, Uskok remains a cornerstone of Zadar’s nautical identity.
The 2024 edition of the Zadarska Koka promises to be particularly engaging. Events kick off with activities aimed at introducing children to the art of sailing and the importance of preserving the Adriatic Sea.
Over the course of the three-day event, participants and spectators alike will experience everything from eco-workshops to demonstrations of traditional wooden boats, a taste of authentic Zadar cuisine, and lively entertainment that will keep the energy high throughout the weekend.
Even if you’re not competing, the regatta offers an unforgettable experience for anyone in Zadar during these autumn days, particularly the communal atmosphere, complete with local food, music, and celebration.
Zadar Archipelago: Expanding the Experience
As exciting as the Zadarska Koka regatta is, it is just one of the many experiences that Zadar offers.
At Zadar Archipelago speedboat tours, we work tirelessly to ensure that visitors to the region can enjoy the stunning natural beauty and hidden gems of the Zadar archipelago.
Our tours are designed to provide an adrenaline-pumping adventure, whisking visitors away from the mainland to explore the pristine islands scattered across the Adriatic Sea and our close connection to the sea and local culture makes us an integral part of Zadar’s tourism fabric.
During regatta weekends, there is often an increased interest in the broader Zadar area – from small, picturesque islands like Ošljak to the larger, more rugged beauty of Dugi Otok, we take pride in showcasing the region’s hidden treasures. We offer tours that cater to those who want to combine the thrill of speed with serene island hopping.
Beyond Summer: Zadar’s Year-Round Appeal
One of the key messages that the Zadarska Koka 2024 sends is that Zadar’s tourism season doesn’t end with the summer. This regatta is an example of how much Zadar has to offer throughout the year.
With its mild Mediterranean climate, Zadar remains pleasant even in the cooler months, making it an ideal destination for those looking to escape the harsh winters of northern Europe.
Zadar Archipelago’s speedboat tours are available year-round, and we adapt our tours to match the season.
Winter brings with it a unique serenity, where the islands feel untouched by time, and spring offers the perfect backdrop of blooming wildflowers and lush landscapes, ideal for those looking to reconnect with nature.
Our tours are particularly well-suited for those visiting Zadar outside the high summer season. The quieter months allow for a more intimate and relaxed experience, as the crowds have thinned and the islands return to their tranquil, natural state. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of Zadar’s archipelago without the hustle and bustle of peak season tourism.

The connection between the Zadarska Koka regatta and our tours at Zadar Archipelago is simple: we both celebrate the beauty of Zadar’s maritime culture and natural surroundings.
The regatta draws attention to Zadar’s seafaring traditions, and our tours expand that experience by allowing visitors to explore the islands firsthand.
Many of the visitors who come for the regatta discover that there is so much more to Zadar than just the competition—they fall in love with the landscape, the sea, and the adventure that lies just beyond the city.
Through our tours, we offer visitors the chance to see another side of Zadar. We give them the freedom to explore, the thrill of speed, and the peace of untouched islands. These elements combine to create a year-round attraction that is not dependent on the high summer season, and that complements Zadar’s rich cultural offerings.
