Šolta is an island which lies 10 miles SW of the city of Split on the mainland coast of Croatia, immediately W of the much larger island of Brač, from which it is separated by a channel barely half a mile wide. Although a relatively small island, with an area of under 60 square kilometers, it has a population of around 1,700 and caters well for the visiting yachtsman, with three harbours all providing laid moorings, water and electricity and several sheltered anchorages around its coast.
Historically the island’s prosperity depended on fishing, wine and olive oil exports and shipping but today its economic engine is mainly fuelled by tourism, including yachting tourism.
