 Martinscica harbour |
Martinscica lies on the SW coast of the island of Cres in Croatia, 10 miles N of the narrow channel at Osor which separates Cres from the island of Losinj immediately W. The village and its harbour are situated at the NW corner of a wide bay on the E side of a peninsula which shelters the bay from N and W winds. The bay is, however, completely open S. The harbour is shallow, with maximum depths of 2.5 metres, and usually filled with fishing boats. Most visiting yachts will need to anchor off in the bay.

There are no dangers in the approach to Martinscica. A large holiday development on the E side of the bay is conspicuous on the approach to the bay. Closer in, the shot breakwater of the harbour is visible on the W side of the bay.
Entrance
Martinscica is not a port of entry. The nearest port of entry is Mali Losinj on the island of [Losinj]].
Berthing
The harbour of Martinscica is shallow and usually filled with fishing and motor boats. It may be possible for a shallow draft yacht or catamaran to lie alongside or stern/bows-to the jetty on the NE side of the harbour, where depths are around 2.5 metres. However, the harbourmaster here often turns yachts away during the summer. Most visiting yachts anchor off in the bay in 5.0 - 6.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed. Shelter is good in winds from NE round to WSW but the anchorage is completely open S.
