Phone, e-mail and opening hours
We do not reprint them here. They change without notice, and a number that is wrong but looks checked is worse than no number at all. The ministry maintains this office's own page — take the current details from there.

How to apply here
The ministry gives three routes, and they are the same for every office:
- Contact the office directly by phone or e-mail, using the current details on its ministry page.
- Go through the ministry, which handles category A and B exam enquiries centrally at voditelj.brodice@pomorstvo.hr.
- Use the e-Pomorac maritime administration portal. Availability of online exam booking through it can vary.
Whichever route you take, you apply first and the office or the ministry then confirms a date, time and place. You attend in person: the category B exam is oral, in front of a panel, and there is no remote or online option.
What to bring
The same everywhere in the country, and not specific to this office:
- The completed application form
- Two photographs, 3 × 3.5 cm
- A copy of your ID card or passport
- Proof of first-aid knowledge — a driving licence is accepted, otherwise a first-aid certificate
- Proof that the state fee has been paid
The whole path from studying to certificate is set out in how to get the Croatian boat licence, and the money side in what the licence costs.

The exam is the same at every office
Category B is one national Croatian qualification. The syllabus, the fee, the documents and the certificate are identical wherever you sit it, so choosing this office over another changes only your travel, not your exam. Most people pick the office nearest where they will be staying.

Common questions
Where is the Šibenik harbour master's office?
At Obala Franje Tuđmana 8, 22000 Šibenik. The current phone number, e-mail address and opening hours are on that office's ministry page; we deliberately do not reprint them here, because they change without notice.
Can I sit the category B exam here?
Yes. All eight harbour master's offices run the category B exam. It is one national qualification, with the same fee and the same documents everywhere, so the office you choose changes your journey, not your exam.
How do I apply for the exam?
The ministry gives three routes: the office directly by phone or e-mail, the ministry centrally at voditelj.brodice@pomorstvo.hr, or the e-Pomorac portal. You apply first and a date is then confirmed to you.
How far ahead should I apply?
As far ahead as you can. Exam sittings are scheduled periodically and take a limited number of candidates, so at the height of the season the next free slot can be weeks away. If this office is full, it is worth asking a neighbouring office or the ministry.
How many branch offices does this office have?
4: Murter, Tisno, Vodice, Rogoznica. Exam sittings are often held at branch offices too, on dates the main office sets, so ask the main office where and when the next one is.
