Pakoštane

| |
The town of Pakoštane lies on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, around four miles SE of Biograd and opposite the SE end of the island of Pašman. Barely a mile behind the town is the huge Vransko jezero (Lake Vrana), a nature reserve.
The town has a small harbour, which is unsuitable for yachts, but a couple of lovely anchorages between the three islets lying off the town. The anchorages are only suitable for use in settled weather and untenable in strong winds with anything west or south in them.

Communication

Pakostane is approached either from NW along the channel separating the mainland from the islands of Ugljan and Pasman or from S around the southern end of the island of Pasman. There are no dangers in the approach from NW other than the numerous islands in the Pasmanski Kanal.
In the approach from S there are numerous rocky islets, some with shoals off them, and careful pilotage is needed. On closer approach, the three islets just off the town are conspicuous. The largest, central one has a cross on the top.
Berthing
The small port is too shallow for most sailboats.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
None
Anchorages
The best anchorages are either side of the central island. Shelter here is only moderate in northerly winds and poor in winds from NW round to SE. With strong winds from the latter direction, the anchorage is untenable.
Anchor NNW of the island in 5.0 - 6.0 metres. Good holding in sand.
Alternatively, a shallow draft yacht can anchor east of the central island in 2.5 - 3.0 metres, also in sand.
Yacht Repairs and Services
None.
