In order to define the main characteristics and determinants of the maritime tourism, a model of growth has been used. The evaluation and analysis of the relevant variables and the resulting growth rates have been aimed at a scientific formulation of the results of the sustainable development analysis of the maritime tourism in the Republic of Croatia. Combinations of a number of scientific methods have been used, among which the most relevant are statistical and mathematical methods, method of model drawing, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction. The basic hypothesis has been confirmed through the direct growth rates of the chosen model variables. It has been confirmed that, based on scientific insights into the sustainable development of the maritime tourism, it is possible to suggest a new model of its sustainable development in Croatia for the period 2007-2015.
