The small harbour of Bobovisca  is located on the W coast of the island of [[Brac]] in [[Croatia]], at the head of a narrow inlet which forks into two at its head. In the northern arm is a quiet anchorage with mooring buoys for visiting yachts. In the southern arm is the village proper, with quays around the shore of the inlet and a few laid moorings suitable for visiting yachts. Shelter in the harbour is good in virtually all conditions, although a swell develops in strong W or SW winds. The harbour is a popular destination for cruising yachts and flotillas during the summer months.

==Local Weather==

==Weather==
-
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.
+
''See [[Croatia#Weather|Croatia]]''.
-
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 approach to Bobovisca has no dangers, other than a fish farm around a mile offshore to the W.  The inlet branches into two at its head; the village and harbour are in the S arm, the anchorage in the N arm.  Depths in the entrance are over 20.0 metres and along the quay in the S arm 2.0 - 3.0 metres.

Visiting yachts berth on the quay on the N side of the S arm, where there are laid moorings for around six yachts in depths of 2.0 - 3.0 metres.  These fill up quickly during the season and a yacht must then seek a mooring in the N arm.  Shelter in the harbour is good in virtually all conditions, although a swell develops in strong W or SW winds.  There are water and electricity points on the quay.

If the harbour quay is full, a visiting yacht can moor in the N arm, where around 30 mooring buoys have been laid in depths of 3.0 - 5.0 metres. The buoys are very close together and there is little room to swing, so it may be necessary to put out fenders if all the buoys are in use.  Alternatively, anchor wherever you can find space and take a line ashore.

Bobovisca inlet from W

Bobovišća or Bobovišća na more is a small harbour located on the W coast of the island of Brač in Croatia, at the head of a narrow inlet which forks into two at its head. In the N arm is a quiet anchorage with around 20 mooring buoys for visiting yachts. In the S arm is the village proper, with quays around the shore of the inlet, another 20 mooring buoys and 10 laid moorings on the N shore suitable for visiting yachts. Shelter in the harbour is good in virtually all conditions, although a swell develops in strong W or SW winds. The harbour is a popular destination for cruising yachts and flotillas during the summer months.

Navigation

The approach to Bobovisca has no dangers, other than a fish farm around a mile offshore to the W. The inlet branches into two at its head; the village and harbour are in the S arm, an additional buoyed anchorage in the N arm. Note that there is a buoyed-off swimming area to port on entering the S arm. Depths in the entrance to the inlet are over 20.0 metres and along the quay in the S arm around 4.0 metres.

Entrance

Split is the nearest all-year round port of entry. During the summer, Hvar, Vis and, if arriving from N, Primošten on the mainland are also ports of entry.

Berthing

The berths at the quay and two buoy fields in Bobovisca are managed by the Nautičko sidrište Bobovišća.

Around ten visiting yachts can berth on the quay on the N side of the S arm, where there are laid moorings in depths of about 4.0 metres in front of the two restaurants. Maximum size that can be accommodated is around 13-14 metres, owing to the length of the mooring lines. These places fill up quickly during the season and a yacht must then use one of the mooring buoys in the S inlet or in the N arm. Shelter in the harbour is good on the quay in virtually all conditions, although a swell develops in strong W or SW winds. There are water and electricity points on the quay.

Charges are as follows (2014): up to 10m: HRK 15 per metre; 10m-15m: HRK 20 per metre; 15m-20m: HRK 25 per metre; 20m-30m: HRK 30 per metre; over 30m: HRK 40 per metre.

Again, these buoys are quite close together and it can be difficult to moor here if there is a strong crosswind.
