Vis is an excellent starting-off point for exploring the other islands of Central-Dalmatia. Here are the best marinas nearby.

Marina Vis

The centre of the Island of Vis is the town of the same name, located in a large, protected bay. The marina can accommodate 70 boats, up to 20 metres in length.
