Diurnal winds along the coast are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5.  At night, katabatic winds off the mountains are a feature of some of the harbours along the NE Adriatic coast.  During early spring and (especially) autumn conditions can be more unsettled, occasionally accompanied by violent thunderstorms - luckily of short duration - with winds of 30-35 knots or more and vicious, steep seas.  In the winter the sudden, violent N wind off the mountains, the ''bora'', is much to be feared, especially along the Velebitski channel.  It tends to blow less strongly S of Zadar.

Equally prevalent in winter - although not uncommon in summer - is the ''scirocco'', a S/SE wind that blows up from North Africa, usually in advance of a depression moving E across the Mediterranean.  Unlike the ''bora'', the ''scirocco'' only occasionally exceeds gale force, but is still a phenomenon to be wary of, especially if on a lee coast.

The old town of Šibenik is full of narrow streets climbing up past the cathedral to the fortress of St Ana on a bluff at the NW end of the town. There are superb views from here of the Kornati Islands and the Šibenik channel. Šibenik’s crowning glory, however, is the 15th century Cathedral of St Jakob, built entirely in stone (including the barrel-vaulted roof), whose most impressive feature is a series of 71 heads carved by an anonymous 15th century sculptor all round the north and east walls, all apparently modeled by the 15th century citizens of the town.  From the town, one can also motor up the winding channel of the Krka river, hemmed in by limestone cliffs and lined with mussel farms, to the ACI marina at Skradin and the wonderful Falls, a few hundred metres upstream.

Šibenik from SW

Šibenik lies on the Adriatic coast of Croatia on the E side of a five-mile long inlet entered through a narrow strait, the Kanal Sv. Ante. The entrance is situated five miles SE of Vodice and 11 miles NNW of Primošten.

A historic city with an old centre dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, Šibenik has a remarkable 15th-century barrel-vaulted cathedral of St Jakob, in itself justifying a visit.

Šibenik is also a good base for a trip to the Krka National Park and its magnificent waterfalls at Skradin.

On the E side of the entrance is a rocky shoal, Hrid Rocni, which is marked with a light beacon and should be left to starboard. The narrow channel leads ENE for a mile before opening out into the bay of Šibenik.

Note: There is a further shoal patch on the E side where the channel opens out. It is marked with a light structure. The city and its waterfront lie half a mile NE across the bay.

Entrance

Šibenik is a port of entry/exit for Croatia. For details see Entrance: Croatia.

Berthing

Yachts have the option of berthing on the waterfront quay, where there are few facilities and shelter is poor with any winds from NW round to SE. Another option is a new, luxury, 350-berth Mandalina Marina a mile SSE of the quay.

Šibenik town quay

Harbour icon Šibenik town quay [[Šibenik#Šibenik town quay|Šibenik town quay]] 43°44.062'N, 015°53.403'E
Port of Entry

Pick up one of the laid moorings where directed by the harbourmaster or wherever available. Depths range from 4.0 metres at the NW end to around 2.0 metres at the SE end of the quay.

There are a few water taps along the quay, a longer hose could be required in places. There is only one accessible electricity post with just a few connections available for 3-5 yachts.

For current fees check Šibenik Port Authority site. The fees listed there are valid for other ports in Šibenik-Knin county. It appears that temporary mooring (up to 2 hours) is free of charge.

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

  • D-Marin Mandalina — on the S side of the small peninsula a mile to the S, where there is a full range of services. See Mandalina Marina entry for details. Depths in the marina are 15.0 metres or more. Shelter on the waterfront quay is only moderate and poor in any winds from NW round to SE. In summer the sea breeze makes mooring difficult in the afternoon. The marina has excellent shelter.
  • Marina Solaris — outside of Šibenski zaljev, SE of the entrance of the Kanal Sv. Ante

While not specifically marked as an anchorage, it is possible to anchor on the W side of the cove opposite marina Mandalina in depths of 10-15 meters, with good holding in mud. This location offers good protection from S and W winds, but should be avoided if a northerly is expected.

There are some other options outside of the port of Šibenik and on the Kanal Sv Ante, but the wind funneling along the channel needs to be taken into account.

Tourism

The old town of Šibenik is full of narrow streets climbing up past the cathedral to the fortress of St Ana on a bluff at the NW end of the town. There are superb views from here of the Kornati Islands and the Šibenik channel. Šibenik’s crowning glory, however, is the 15th century Cathedral of St Jakob, built entirely in stone (including the barrel-vaulted roof), whose most impressive feature is a series of 71 heads carved by an anonymous 15th century sculptor all round the north and east walls, all apparently modeled by the 15th century citizens of the town. From the town, one can also motor up the winding channel of the Krka river, hemmed in by limestone cliffs and lined with mussel farms, to the ACI marina at Skradin and the wonderful Falls, a few hundred metres upstream.
