 Harbour of Prvić Luka from W |
The harbour of Prvić Luka, one of two harbours on Prvić Island in Croatia (the other being Šepurine), lies at the S end of the island opposite the small islet of Lupac and the larger island of Zlarin to the SE. Its main claim to fame is as the burial place of the renowned Croatian scholar and inventor Faust Vrancic, often described as the Croatian Leonardo da Vinci, whose 17th-century masterwork, Machinae Novae, described inventions as varied as tide mills, suspension bridges and the parachute.
The small harbour has laid moorings along the inside of its breakwater for around 10-12 yachts berthed stern or bows-to. Water and electricity connection points are available along the breakwater quay. Shelter in the harbour is good in all but strong S and SE winds.
