Although being a part of the Kornati Archipelago, the Island of Žut is not included in the Kornati National Park and may, therefore, be visited without a permit. There are no restrictions on walking ashore but bear in mind that most of the land is private property. The island can only be reached by boat. The nearest inhabited island is Pašman Island, which is connected to the mainland by ferry from Biograd na Moru, and Dugi Otok Island, which is connected by ferry from Zadar.

Since the island is uninhabited, there are only few restaurants nearby and a grocery store. For more facilities, such as ambulance, post office, police, more shops and restaurants, fish market, bakery, seasonal border crossing or harbourmaster’s office, head over to Sali on Dugi Otok Island. The nearest gas station is in Zaglav on Dugi Otok Island, 8nm away from ACI Marina Žut. The nearest general hospital is in Biograd na Moru, and the nearest airport is Zadar Airport in Zemunik Donji.

The approach to Žut Island is mostly free of dangers, although there are numerous islets and reefs nearby so caution is needed. There is a small islet, Maslinjak, in the entrance to Luka Žut, which can be passed on either side. When approaching by night from the west, it is recommended to sail through the passage of Proversa Mala, which is well marked by lighthouses. When approaching from the direction of Zadar, the route passes through the small strait of Mali Ždrelac, between the islands of Ugljan and Pašman. The bridge over the strait is only 16.5 m high. The north entrance is a little over 200 m wide, and 6.2 m deep, the entrance near Ugljan is only one metre deep. Also, beware of currents running through it due to either tide or weather conditions.
