Ports and islands around Komiža

Komiža Town Harbour

Komiža Town Harbour lies on the western side of Vis Island, in a wide and deep bay that offers excellent natural protection from northern and eastern winds. The harbour provides a total of 30 berths for yachts up to 20 metres in length, with depths reaching 6 metres, making it suitable even for larger vessels. During strong southern Jugo winds, expect increased swell and more challenging manoeuvring near the entrance, so it’s best to choose inner berths or arrive later. Fuel, fresh water and provisioning options are available nearby, and waterfront restaurants make it a convenient stop for charter crews. In high season, book your berth in advance and check wind direction before anchoring, paying attention to local buoys and harbour regulations. Komiža sailing. Rent a boat in Komiža and let the island’s hidden coves and crystal clear waters enchant you – without stress, at your own pace.

Marina Vis

Marina Vis is the main port of the island, offering around 70 berths for yachts up to 20 metres, making it a perfect base for exploring the waters around Vis. The seabed depth ranges from 2.5 to 4.5 metres, so if your vessel has a deeper draught, carefully follow buoy markers and the advice of the harbour authority when mooring. The strong Bora and Jugo winds can complicate berthing, so in such weather choose more sheltered quays and use additional mooring lines. Fuel, water and electricity are available at the marina, and nearby shops, restaurants and basic repair services ensure easy provisioning for charter yachts. If you plan a longer stay, make reservations ahead of time and check the latest service information. sailing in Vis, rent a boat Vis

Marina Vela Luka (Korčula)

Marina Vela Luka is located on the western part of Korčula Island and offers 45 berths for yachts up to 17 metres, with water depth between 3 and 4 metres, making it suitable for medium-sized vessels. A fuel station is conveniently located right next to the pier, which is ideal when preparing for a longer passage. The marina is generally well protected, but always follow local weather updates and harbour staff instructions during unstable conditions. Water, electricity and essential services are available, and shops and restaurants nearby make provisioning easy. During peak season, berth reservations are highly recommended for charter sailors.

Marina Sveti Klement (Hvar)

ACI Marina Palmižana, also known as Marina Sveti Klement, lies on the northeast coast of Sveti Klement Island, part of the Pakleni archipelago, and offers excellent shelter — one of the safest harbours in the Adriatic. It features 180 berths for yachts up to 30 metres long, with depths ranging from 3 to 8 metres, so larger yachts can enter without concern. The marina operates seasonally from April 1st to October 31st, offering showers, Wi-Fi, water and electricity, as well as cafés, restaurants and a grocery shop. As the Pakleni Islands are extremely popular among charter sailors, booking ahead is strongly recommended, especially during weekends. With strong southerly winds, choose berths in the inner basin for better shelter.

Hvar Port

Hvar Port is located in the heart of Hvar Town — one of the most vibrant and popular mooring spots in the region, thanks to its lively old town and nightlife. The harbour is well protected from northern winds, but southern and northwesterly winds can create significant swell, so manoeuvre carefully or choose a more sheltered position in such conditions. Berthing along the main town quay is more expensive, but more affordable options can be found on the opposite side of the harbour. Fuel, water and electricity are available, and all major services — restaurants, shops, repairs — are within walking distance, making it ideal for charter crews. Reservation is essential during high season or large events. Hvar island sailing,Hvar boat rental.

Marina Stari Grad (Hvar)

Marina Stari Grad is situated in the oldest town of Hvar Island and can accommodate about 150 vessels, making it a calmer alternative to busy Hvar Town. Water depth is up to 13 metres at the entrance and around 4–5 metres along the quays, so both larger and smaller yachts can approach safely. Cafés, restaurants and an information point are available in the marina, making provisioning and planning easy. The peaceful setting is ideal for overnight stays if you prefer to avoid crowded marinas, and it is also a great starting point for exploring the nearby waters. Book your berth in advance during the high season and check buoy markers before anchoring. Stari Grad sailing

Marina Bol (Brač)

Marina Bol lies on the southern coast of Brač Island, close to the iconic Zlatni Rat beach, which makes it a highly popular destination among sailors. The marina is small, so securing a free berth can be difficult in peak season — arriving early or reserving ahead is strongly recommended. Depths range from 6–7 metres at the entrance to about 2 metres along the quay, so be aware of your draught when manoeuvring. Drinking water, electricity and laundry services are available, and several cafés and restaurants nearby offer a great opportunity to relax ashore. If you plan to visit Zlatni Rat, expect more boat traffic near the shoreline.
