Pasman Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]] seven miles SSE of the port of [[Zadar]] and five miles N of the [[Kornati Islands]]. The island is separated from the  mainland on its E side by the mile-wide channel of the Pasmanski Kanal and connected at its northernmost tip to the neighbouring island of [[Ugljan]] by a lifting road bridge navigable by small to moderate sized yachts.  Like its close neighbour Ugljan, Pasman Island is orientated SE/NW and the majority of its harbours are on the mainland-facing, NE side of the island and its anchorages mostly on the open sea-facing, SW side.  All the harbours are relatively shallow and a yacht using them will find depths at the quays of 2.0 - 2.5 metres only.  Larger or deeper draft yachts need to use the anchorages, where greater depths can be found, or one of the nearby mainland harbours, such as [[Zadar]], [[Sukosan]] or [[Biograd]], especially in heavy weather.  The main settlement of the island, [[Pasman Town]], is situated about halfway down the NW side, just W of the islet of Babac.

==Weather==
+
==Navigation==
-
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.
+
The island is separated from the mainland on its E side by the mile-wide channel of the Pasmanski Kanal and connected at its northernmost tip to the neighbouring island of [[Ugljan]] by a [[#Mali Zdrelac|bridge]] navigable by small to moderate sized yachts.   
-
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.
+
Like its close neighbour Ugljan, Pasman Island is orientated SE/NW and the majority of its harbours are on the mainland-facing, NE side of the island and its anchorages mostly on the open sea-facing, SW side.
-
''For sources of weather forecasting, see [[Croatia#Sources of weather forecast info|Croatia]]''.
+
All the harbours are relatively shallow and a yacht using them will find depths at the quays of 2.0 - 2.5 metres only.  Larger or deeper draft yachts need to use the anchorages, where greater depths can be found, or one of the nearby mainland harbours, such as [[Zadar]], [[Sukošan]] or [[Biograd na Moru|Biograd]], especially in heavy weather.  The main settlement of the island, [[Pašman (town)]], is situated about halfway down the NW side, just W of the islet of Babac.

Prolaz Mali Zdrelac is the channel situated at the northern tip of the island, between it and [[Ugljan]] Island.  The channel is crossed by a lifting road bridge with a maximum clearance of 16.5 metres.  The anchorage lies on the NE side of the bridge and therefore should not be approached from the SW side unless your mast (and aerials!) give you an air draft of less than that.  Either pick up one of the mooring buoys in the bay on the N side of the channel in depths of 3.0 - 4.0 metres, or anchor in similar depths on the S side, clear of the wrecks lining the shore.  Holding is good in mud and shelter is very good in all conditions.  Note that ferries regularly charge through the channel here and have right of way over yachts.  Strong currents also flow through the channel at certain states of tide.

The anchorage of U. Sv.

U. Soline is located on the SW coast of Pasman Island, immediately SE of the anchorage of U. Sv. Ante on the other side of a short headland.  The bay is more or less T-shaped and offers two excellent anchorages in the two ‘arms’ of the T.  Anchor either in the N or S arm in 5.0 - 6.0 metres.  The holding in both cases is good in sand and weed.  Alternatively pick up one of the moorings buoys provided.  Shelter is both arms is very good, and the choice for a visiting yacht will depend on the wind direction, the N arm being more comfortable in N winds and vice versa.  U. Soline is a very popular anchorage and a mooring charge is made. There are three restaurants at the southern end of the bay.

Navigation

The island is separated from the mainland on its E side by the mile-wide channel of the Pasmanski Kanal and connected at its northernmost tip to the neighbouring island of Ugljan by a bridge navigable by small to moderate sized yachts.

Like its close neighbour Ugljan, Pasman Island is orientated SE/NW and the majority of its harbours are on the mainland-facing, NE side of the island and its anchorages mostly on the open sea-facing, SW side.

All the harbours are relatively shallow and a yacht using them will find depths at the quays of 2.0 - 2.5 metres only. Larger or deeper draft yachts need to use the anchorages, where greater depths can be found, or one of the nearby mainland harbours, such as Zadar, Sukošan or Biograd, especially in heavy weather. The main settlement of the island, Pašman (town), is situated about halfway down the NW side, just W of the islet of Babac.

Danger: Mali Ždrelac/wiki/Pa%C5%A1man#Mali_.C5.BDdrelacDanger icon Mali Ždrelac [[Pašman#Mali Ždrelac|Mali Ždrelac]] (Prolaz Mali Ždrelac) 44°00.852'N, 015°15.081'E is a small strait between the islands of Ugljan and Pašman. The bridge over it has a clearance of only 16.5 metres. Also beware of currents running through it due to either tides or weather conditions.

Entrance

Zadar is the nearest all-year round port of entry, or Šibenik if arriving from S. During the summer, Sali on Dugi Otok and Primošten on the mainland are also ports of entry.

Berthing

There are a total of nine principal berthing options on Pašman Island, the harbours of Pašman (town), Banj, Zdrelac and Tkon and an anchorage, U. Gnal, on the NE side of the island, and four other anchorages, Prolaz Mali Zdrelac, U. Sv. Ante, U. Soline and U. Landin on the N and SW sides of the island.

Prolaz Mali Zdrelac

Prolaz Mali Zdrelac/wiki/Pa%C5%A1man#Prolaz_Mali_Zdrelac
Anchorage icon Prolaz Mali Zdrelac [[Pašman#Prolaz Mali Zdrelac|Prolaz Mali Zdrelac]] 44°00.917'N, 015°15.576'E
Prolaz Mali Zdrelac is the channel situated at the northern tip of the island, between it and Ugljan Island. The channel is crossed by a lifting road bridge with a maximum clearance of 16.5 metres. The anchorage lies on the NE side of the bridge and therefore should not be approached from the SW side unless your mast (and aerials!) give you an air draft of less than that. Either pick up one of the mooring buoys in the bay on the N side of the channel in depths of 3.0 - 4.0 metres, or anchor in similar depths on the S side, clear of the wrecks lining the shore. Holding is good in mud and shelter is very good in all conditions. Note that ferries regularly charge through the channel here and have right of way over yachts. Strong currents also flow through the channel at certain states of tide.

U. Sv. Ante

Anchorage icon U. Sv. Ante [[Pašman#U. Sv. Ante|U. Sv. Ante]] 43°56.042'N, 015°20.837'E
The anchorage of U. Sv. Ante lies on the SW coast of the island, just over a mile due E of the small islet of Sit. It offers good shelter in all but W and S winds. The bay takes its name from the small pre-Romanesque church of Sv. Ante on the E side of the inlet. Pick up one of the mooring buoys laid here or anchor towards the head of the inlet in depths of 5.0 - 6.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed. A mooring charge is made.

U. Soline

U. Soline/wiki/Pa%C5%A1man#U._Soline
Anchorage icon U. Soline [[Pašman#U. Soline|U. Soline]] 43°55.444'N, 015°21.712'E
U. Soline is located on the SW coast of Pasman Island, immediately SE of the anchorage of U. Sv. Ante on the other side of a short headland. The bay is more or less T-shaped and offers two excellent anchorages in the two ‘arms’ of the T. Anchor either in the N or S arm in 5.0 - 6.0 metres. The holding in both cases is good in sand and weed. Alternatively pick up one of the moorings buoys provided. Shelter is both arms is very good, and the choice for a visiting yacht will depend on the wind direction, the N arm being more comfortable in N winds and vice versa. U. Soline is a very popular anchorage and a mooring charge is made. There are three restaurants at the southern end of the bay.

U. Landin

U. Landin/wiki/Pa%C5%A1man#U._Landin
Anchorage icon U. Landin [[Pašman#U. Landin|U. Landin]] 43°54.670'N, 015°23.135'E
The anchorage of U. Landin is the easternmost of two deep adjoining inlets at the SW end of the island, a mile N of the small islet of Kosara. At its W entrance is a small islet, O. Landinic, joined to the headland by a shallow spit with 4.0 metres over it. There are mooring buoys laid at the head of the inlet in 3.0 - 5.0 metres. Either pick one up or anchor clear of the buoys in 6.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed. Shelter here is good in all conditions except strong S winds. Restaurant ashore. If the anchorage is full, it is also possible to anchor in the westernmost of the two inlets, although depths are much greater and it is advisable to take lines ashore.

U. Gnal

U. Gnal/wiki/Pa%C5%A1man#U._Gnal
Anchorage icon U. Gnal [[Pašman#U. Gnal|U. Gnal]] 43°53.642'N, 015°27.252'E
U. Gnal is a quiet cove situated on the SE coast of the island, barely half a mile from its extreme SE tip and two miles due W of the mainland harbour and anchorage of Pakostane. The cove is sheltered from all except NE and E winds. Anchor in 4.0 - 5.0 metres in the NW part of the cove (the SE part has a partially sunken wreck), with a line ashore if preferred. Holding is good in sand and weed. A restaurant opens here during the season.

Tourism

History

Give a short history of the island.

Places to Visit

Traditionally a fishing and agricultural community, with emphasis on olive oil, grape and vegetable production, Pasman has developed a thriving tourism industry in recent years in view of its proximity to the Kornati Islands as well as its own unspoiled scenery and sandy beaches. In view of the island’s lack of marinas or deep water harbours, it is less frequented by the cruising community than many of the other islands and thus marginally more peaceful during the busy summer season. See individual port pages for further details.
