The enormous natural harbour has been used since early Antiquity, and it served as the main naval harbour of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. In the very heart of this historic harbour, only metres away from the Arena, lies the 194- boat berth (moorings) ACI marina. Pula International Airport is only 5 km away. ACI marina Pula is a true city marina, located at the very heart of Pula. Also, it is the only marina on the Mediterranean that offers a unique view of the Roman amphitheater. Approach The harbour is located in a natural bay between the peninsula and the breakwater, which provides excellent protection. The safe entrance to the harbour is between the breakwater head (an extension of Cape Kumpar) which is marked by a green lighthouse (Fl G 3s 9m 6M) and Cape Proština which has a red lighthouse (Fl R 3s 9m 5M). The exact position of the Kumpar lighthouse is 44°53.2’ N 13°47.7’ E. Then steer towards the southern cape of Andrija Islet, where there is a green lighthouse (Fl G 2s 7m 1M). The islet can be rounded from both the southern and northern sides, and the passage between it and Katarina Island is well marked for a night approach (sail between two pairs of red and green lighthouses). After the passage another lighthouse, on Uljanik Island (Fl G 5s 7m 3M), shows the way to ACI Marina Pula. On rounding that lighthouse the marina comes into view. Attention should be paid to several iron buoys anchored intermittently along the approach course to the marina. The speed limit in the harbour is 8 knots. Note: It is recommended to use official navigational charts published by HHI Split: 100-16, 50-3 and MK-3.

ACI Marina Pomer is situated in the deepest part of Medulin Bay, and it offers 294 wet berths and 30 dry berths. It underwent a comprehensive capital undertaking in 2016, which involved removing the old buildings and constructing a completely new land part. The Marina is open year-round and is surrounded by beautiful beaches, islands, and nature, making it an excellent starting point for cruising to the south. Today, ACI Pomer is a modern and beautiful marina with a Mediterranean feel. It features a new reception and exchange office, as well as an ATM, toilet facilities, and a separate section with accessible toilet facilities. Other amenities include a laundry, a grocery store that operates during the boating season, a charter agency, technical service, crane for boats up to 10 tons, premises for the crew, automated and guarded driveways, car parking, new electrical cabinets on dry berthing, a pumping station for pumping waste water from the vessels, and the latest WLAN internet access. The marina also has a new restaurant with a lovely terrace and a swimming pool with a pool bar. Additionally, ACI Pomer has a special storeroom where boaters can store their equipment, such as bicycles, scooters, surfboards, and outboard motors. The marina is equipped with electric power connections of 16 to 63 A, and it has "green islands" for selective waste collection. To approach the marina, it is recommended to sail through the main channel, east of the islet of Fenera (exact position 44°46.2’ N 13°57.2’ E), and then pass between the islands of Ceja and Bodulaš. As the sea is much shallower around Bodulaš Island, it is safer to sail closer to Ceja Island. Once inside the bay, steer toward the middle of the passage between Cape Munat and Cape Kašteja, and then toward the island of Pomerski Školjić, which should be rounded from the east. ACI Marina Pomer is sighted next, and in daylight, it is recognizable by a distinctive white crane. For any further information, you can contact the Harbour Master's Office in Pula at tel/fax: +385 (0) 52 222 037 or use VHF channels 10 and 16.

The principal dangers in the approach to Marina Cervar-Porat are the shoals and islets of Mali Skolj and Veli Skolj, which extend nearly a mile off the headland at the S extremity of the bay of Cervar-Porat and are marked with buoys. The approach should be made from NW, leaving the S headland at least one mile to starboard if approaching from S. The short breakwater of the marina will be evident at the SE corner of the bay when close in. Shelter is reasonably good, although strong NW winds would probably make the outer berths at least very uncomfortable.
