Plan of Marina Piskera - Click for larger view

Marina Piskera lies in the narrow channel between the island of Piskera in the Kornati Islands of Croatia and a small islet, Vela Panitula, off its S coast. The marina, which opens from 1 April to 31 October only, offers a total of 118 berths for yachts up to 30 metres in depths of up to 3.5 metres. The marina is safe in most wind conditions, but becomes very uncomfortable with strong S winds. Because of its isolated position, water and electricity are rationed by only being available at restricted hours (and a substantial charge is made).

Marina radio contact

Call Marina Piskera on VHF channel 17. Alternatively, telephone or e-mail for advance reservations.

Navigation/Approach

The approach to Marina Piskera is largely free of dangers, although there are numerous islets and reefs and a large scale chart is needed. From N, a yacht passes through the narrow channel between Piskera and Mala Lavsa islands before turning to starboard to enter the marina from SE, leaving the islet of Mala Panitula to port. From S, a yacht can either leave Mala Panitula to port on entering or pass between Vela Panitula islet and the reef of Skanji Veli about 150 metres off its SE tip. This channel is very narrow, but depths are 7.0 metres. Shelter inside the marina is good in most conditions, but strong S winds make it very uncomfortable. Note that the N channel between Piskera and Vela Panitula at the top end of the marina is shallow and rocky and impassable by a yacht.

Berthing

Berthing assistance available on request. Visiting yachts berth stern/bows-to at one of six pontoons extending N from the islet of Vela Panitula. Depths on the pontoons range from 2.5 to 3.5 metres. Deeper draft yachts berth on the end of the central pontoons. Laid moorings at all berths. Yachts over 25 metres berth on the reception pontoon.
