The small harbour of Prizba Mali lies on the S coast of the island of [[Korcula]] in [[Croatia]], seven miles E of the SW tip of the island and just over two miles W of the harbour of [[Brna]].  The harbour lies on the W side of a narrow, wooded isthmus that protects it from E winds but is completely open to W and SW winds.  The tiny inner harbour is too shallow for yachts, but there is a jetty on the W side of the harbour where a visiting yacht can berth in suitable depths.

==Charts==
-
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 [[Southern Dalmatia#Charts|Southern Dalmatia]]''.
-
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 best berth for a visiting yacht is on the end of the jetty at the W end of the harbour. There are several small craft moorings on the inside of the jetty, but the end is usually clear. Depths at the end of the jetty are 4.0 - 5.0 metres. The holding is moderate only in sand and weed with rocky patches, so be sure your anchor is dug in if leaving the boat. Shelter on the jetty is good except with anything W or S in the wind, when there is a swell which would be dangerous in strong winds.

An alternative berthing option if the end of the jetty is occupied is to anchor in 3.0 metres and take a long line to the quay E of the jetty. Depths here are only 1.0 metre or less, so only shallow draft yachts will be able to get close enough to step ashore.
