| summary= [[Hvar]] is an island which lies off the mainland coast of [[Split]] on the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], at its easternmost point only three miles off the coast. Sandwiched between the islands of [[Brač]] to the N and [[Korčula]] to the S, Hvar is blessed with an unusually benign climate and is thus one of the most popular holiday islands in Croatia. The island has a mountainous spine rising to 628 metres at its highest point south of the town of [[Stari Grad]] and much of its coastline, especially on the S and W sides, is indented with numerous small coves providing anchorages suitable for use in a wide range of wind conditions.  Apart from the usual crops of grapes, figs and olive oil, Hvar is particularly noted for the cultivation of lavender, the scent of which pervades the nostrils even several miles offshore at certain times of the year.

Hvar has plenty to offer the cruising yachtsman, with eight harbours, two marinas and nearly 40 anchorages, of which 18 are listed here.  At the western end of Hvar Island is a string of small islands known as the [[Pakleni archipelago]], which constitute a mini cruising ground in their own right.

Milna is a popular beach resort spread across two sandy bays, with the main part of the village in the E bay. It is difficult to get sufficiently close in to anchor as the beaches are buoyed off and the best option is to pick up one of the restaurant buoys in the bay. Shelter is good except with anything S in the wind.

The harbour of the town of Hvar and the Pakleni Islands

Hvar is an island which lies off the mainland coast of Split on the mainland coast of Croatia, at its easternmost point only three miles off the coast. Sandwiched between the islands of Brač to the N and Korčula to the S, Hvar is blessed with an unusually benign climate and is thus one of the most popular holiday islands in Croatia. The island has a mountainous spine rising to 628 metres at its highest point south of the town of Stari Grad and much of its coastline, especially on the S and W sides, is indented with numerous small coves providing anchorages suitable for use in a wide range of wind conditions. Apart from the usual crops of grapes, figs and olive oil, Hvar is particularly noted for the cultivation of lavender, the scent of which pervades the nostrils even several miles offshore at certain times of the year.

Hvar has plenty to offer the cruising yachtsman, with eight harbours, two marinas and nearly 40 anchorages, of which 18 are listed here. At the western end of Hvar Island is a string of small islands known as the Pakleni archipelago, which constitute a mini cruising ground in their own right.

Anchorages

There are numerous anchorages both on Hvar Island itself and in the nearby Pakleni Islands, of which 18 are detailed here and eight on the Pakleni archipelago page.

The main anchorages along the S coast of the island from the town of Hvar to Sucuraj are as follows

U. Borča

U. Borča/wiki/Hvar#U._Bor.C4.8Da
Buoy icon U. Borča [[Hvar#U. Borča|U. Borča]] (Barke) 43°09.737'N, 016°28.861'E
A beautiful cove, but presumably a buoys concession is there and you have to pay for your mooring.

U. Milna

U. Milna/wiki/Hvar#U._Milna
Anchorage icon U. Milna [[Hvar#U. Milna|U. Milna]] 43°09.656'N, 016°29.100'E
Milna is a popular beach resort spread across two sandy bays, with the main part of the village in the E bay. It is difficult to get sufficiently close in to anchor as the beaches are buoyed off and the best option is to pick up one of the restaurant buoys in the bay. The shelter is good except with anything S in the wind.

U. Zub od Zaraća

U. Zub od Zaraća/wiki/Hvar#U._Zub_od_Zara.C4.87a
Anchorage icon U. Zub od Zaraća [[Hvar#U. Zub od Zaraća|U. Zub od Zaraća]] 43°08.983'N, 016°30.870'E
The anchorage of U. Zub od Zaraca is a small cove protected from W and SW by a natural rock breakwater. Depths here are too great to anchor, but there are several restaurant buoys which can be picked up by visiting yachts. The shelter is good except in S or SE winds.

U. Dubovica

U. Dubovica/wiki/Hvar#U._Dubovica
Anchorage icon U. Dubovica [[Hvar#U. Dubovica|U. Dubovica]] 43°08.679'N, 016°32.029'E
The bay of U. Dobovica is a pleasant cove with a sandy beach at its head. Anchor off the beach in 6.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is moderate in sand and shingle. Alternatively moor bows or stern-top using your anchor on the quay on the W side of the bay (if there is space). Depths at the quay are 3.0 - 4.0 metres. Shelter in the bay is good except with anything S in the wind.

U. Duboka

U. Duboka/wiki/Hvar#U._Duboka
Anchorage icon U. Duboka [[Hvar#U. Duboka|U. Duboka]] 43°07.040'N, 017°02.509'E
U. Duboka is a totally undeveloped anchorage offering good shelter in all but S winds. Anchor towards the head of the inlet in depths of 4.0 - 6.0 metres, taking a line ashore in view of the narrowness of the inlet. The holding is good in sand and weed. No facilities ashore.

U. Kozja

U. Kozja/wiki/Hvar#U._Kozja
Anchorage icon U. Kozja [[Hvar#U. Kozja|U. Kozja]] 43°07.015'N, 017°02.917'E
U. Kozja, the next inlet E of U. Doboka, offers good shelter in all but S winds. Anchor at the top of the inlet in 8.0 - 10 metres. Holding is good in sand and mud. There are no facilities ashore.
The main anchorages along the N coast of the island from Sucuraj to Stari Grad are as follows

U. Pokrivenik

U. Pokrivenik/wiki/Hvar#U._Pokrivenik

U. Vela Stiniva

U. Vela Stiniva/wiki/Hvar#U._Vela_Stiniva
Anchorage icon U. Vela Stiniva [[Hvar#U. Vela Stiniva|U. Vela Stiniva]] 43°09.425'N, 016°48.784'E
U. Vela Stiniva is a U-shaped cove hemmed in by steep cliffs and affording good shelter in all conditions except northerly winds. Its small harbour is invariably filled with local boats, so anchor off in 5.0 - 6.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed. There is a stone bollard on the W side of the bay to which it is possible to take a line. Basic café/bar ashore.

Otok Zečevo

Otok Zečevo/wiki/Hvar#Otok_Ze.C4.8Devo
Anchorage icon Otok Zečevo [[Hvar#Otok Zečevo|Otok Zečevo]] 43°11.363'N, 016°41.546'E
The small islet of O. Zecevo offers a good anchorage on its S side in settled weather only. Anchor in 4.0 - 5.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed. The bay is excellent for swimming but a yacht should not risk an overnight stay unless the forecast is very settled. No facilities ashore.

Luka Tiha/wiki/Hvar#Luka_Tiha
Anchorage icon Luka Tiha [[Hvar#Luka Tiha|Luka Tiha]] 43°12.912'N, 016°33.274'E
Luka Tiha is a large and popular anchorage on the N side of the entrance to Starogradski Zaljev, the gulf at the head of which lies the harbour of Stari Grad. The shelter is good in all but SW and S winds. Note that there is dangerous rock about 200 metres off the headland on the W side of the entrance. Anchor in one of the numerous branches, depending on wind direction. Depths for anchoring are mostly 8.0 - 12.0 metres unless you go close in and take a line ashore. Holding is good in sand and weed.

U. Parja lies just over a mile E of Rt Pelegrin, the headland at the extreme W tip of Hvar Island. It offers good shelter in all but N and NE winds. Note that there is a dangerous reef extending for around 200 metres off the headland on the W side of the entrance. The two heads of the inlet are occupied by local boats and moorings, but it is possible to anchor in 6.0 - 8.0 metres outside the moorings and take a line ashore.
