The island is separated from the mainland on its E side by a narrow channel at the town of [[Tisno]], which is spanned by a lifting road bridge and is navigable by shallow to moderate draft yachts. In spite of being one of the smaller islands, Murter caters exceptionally well for the cruising community, with no less than three marinas, a well-equipped boatyard and several anchorages around its shores.

The island is popular during the summer as a holiday base for visiting the Kornati Islands and many Murter residents own plots on the islands.

Murter

|
Murter island lies off the mainland coast of Croatia 11 miles NW of the port of Šibenik and 10 miles E of the Kornati archipelago. The island is separated from the mainland on its E side by a narrow channel at the town of Tisno, which is spanned by a lifting road bridge and is navigable by shallow to moderate draft yachts. In spite of being one of the smaller islands, Murter caters exceptionally well for the cruising community, with no less than three marinas, a well-equipped boatyard and several anchorages around its shores. However, the approach to the island from the N or the W is tricky and can be challenging in poor weather. The island is popular during the summer as a holiday base for visiting the Kornati Islands and many Murter residents own plots on the islands. The island’s main town of Murter Town is located in a wide bay on the N side of the island, sheltered from N by a chain of small islands.
