The inlet of Slano from N

The deep and sheltered inlet of Slano lies 13 nM NW of the entrance to the harbour of Dubrovnik on the Adriatic coast of Croatia and 2 nM NE of the island of Šipan. The inlet is a useful overnight anchorage for yachts on passage to and from Dubrovnik or seeking shelter in northerly winds. Visiting yachts have the choice of anchoring at the top of the bay off the hamlet of Slano or, if there is space, berthing stern/bows-to the quay of the village. Shelter in the inlet is good, although strong SW winds send in an unpleasant swell and can make the quay at Slano untenable.

Navigation

There are no hazards in the approach to the inlet of Slano. A light structure on the NW headland at the entrance to the inlet is visible from some distance. There are shoal patches extending off the headlands on both sides and a yacht should not pass too close on entry.

Berthing

There is room for 6-8 yachts on the quay

Town quay

The best place to moor (except in southerly winds) is stern/bows-to the quay of the settlement of Slano at the NE head of the inlet. The quay can be identified by the green light structure on its S end. The S end of the quay is reserved for fishing boats mooring alongside, but the N end (the part extending for 50 metres S from the small fast food cafe) has been equipped with eight laid moorings (not there in July 2015, but maybe being relaid) and —better still —this section has now been dredged to 3.5 - 4 metres all along its length. Water and electricity are available on request. The mooring charge is not cheap, however. In June 2014 it was 273 kuna for 13 metres plus 70 for electricity and 30 for water. Shelter here is good in all but strong SW winds, which send in a heavy swell and make the quay untenable.

There is also a spanking new section of quay S of the green light structure which looks very tempting BUT at present (June 2014) depths are barely 2.0 metres alongside and there are numerous small craft moorings to snag one's prop. If they dredged it, removed the mooring buoys and installed laid lines it could add a further 10-15 stern-to berths here, but in the meantime it is only suitable for shallow draft vessels and dinghies.
Sums it up really…
The new quay is only suitable for shallow draft vessels

Anchorages

Anchorage at Banja in Slano inlet

Banja Bay

Banja Bay/wiki/Slano#Banja_Bay
Anchorage icon Banja Bay [[Slano#Banja Bay|Banja Bay]] 42°46.545'N, 017°52.922'E
Alternatively, anchor off the village of Slano in 8.0 - 10.0 metres clear of the moorings and the buoyed-off swimming area of the Admiral Hotel. The holding is excellent in mud and shelter good in all but strong SW winds. Another anchorage is the bay of Banja at the SE end of the inlet, where depths are around 10.0 - 12.0 metres and the holding is good in mud. Shelter here is less good in northerly winds, but better than Slano in southerlies. The bay to the W of the entrance with the large hotel has very poor holding and is unsuitable for anchoring.

Grgurici

Anchorage icon Grgurici [[Slano#Grgurici|Grgurici]] 42°46.938'N, 017°52.649'E

The bay on the west called Grgurici has two restaurants. One has its own quay with electricity and water. The owner comes out on his jet ski as one motors into the bay of Slano. He assures you that the depth is "OK" for a 15 metres yacht with 2.1 m draft but in fact, it is barely 2 metres. --Zebahdy of London

The bay to the W of the entrance with the large hotel has very poor holding and is unsuitable for anchoring.

Tourism

Slano still bears a few scars from the war of independence

The village of Slano sits in pleasant surroundings, although it is still to an extent recovering from the destructive effects of the Croatian War of Independence when it was heavily shelled. The village’s Franciscan church has some early Christian sarcophagi on display in front of the church.
