| summary= [[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.

Solta Island lies 10 miles SW of the city of [[Split]] on the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], immediately W of the much larger island of [[Brac]], from which it is separated by a channel barely half a mile wide.

==Weather==

==Islands==
-
Diurnal winds among the islands are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5, although gusting is common in narrow channels between islands and on the lee side of headlands.  At night, katabatic winds off the mountains affect some of the islands close to the mainland 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 coast from Rijeka down to Zadar, although its effects can be felt as far south as Split.

-
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.

U. Sesula is a long and narrow inlet immediately S of the harbour of [[Maslinica]]. It is a very popular anchorage in the summer and it will be necessary to anchor wherever you can find space and take a line ashore. Depths range from 3.0 metres to 8.0 metres and the holding is good in mud and sand. Shelter in the inlet is good in all winds, although strong SW winds send in a slight swell. Restaurants ashore.

The harbour of Maslinica on Šolta

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.

Anchorage icon U. Donja Krušica [[Šolta#U. Donja Krušica|U. Donja Krušica]] 43°24.590'N, 016°16.052'E
The shallow inlet of U. Donja Krušica lies on the N coast of the island, two miles WNW of Rogač. There is a short jetty on the E side of the inlet to which a yacht can moor bows or stern-to using the anchor among the local boats. Depths here are 3.0 - 4.0 metres. The shelter is good in sand.

U. Šešula is a long and narrow inlet immediately S of the harbour of Maslinica. It is a very popular anchorage in the summer and it will be necessary to anchor wherever you can find space and take a line ashore. Depths range from 3.0 metres to 8.0 metres and the holding is good in mud and sand. Shelter in the inlet is good in all winds, although strong SW winds send in a slight swell. Restaurants ashore.

Roman remains can still be seen today around Rogač, Nečujam and the inland village of Grohote.From the 15th to the 18th centuries the island was controlled by Venice and many of the finest buildings date from this period.
