 Stomorska luka from W |
The village and harbour of Stomorska lie on the NE coast of the island of Solta in Croatia, just under three miles SE of Rogac. The harbour consists of a V-shaped inlet open N but partially protected on its NE side by a short rocky spit. The E side of the inlet and the narrow head are quayed and yacht berths provided along the deeper part of the quay.
Visiting yachts moor stern or bows-to, using the laid moorings provided. There are water and electricity points on the quay. The inlet is protected in winds from most directions but is open N and berthing here is inadvisable in strong winds from this direction. During busy periods, there is often little room for visiting yachts arriving late in the day and it may be necessary to go on to the anchorages of U. Necujam two miles NW or U. Gornja Krusica just over a mile SSE.

There are no dangers in the approach to Stomorska. The inlet can be difficult to spot, but a red light structure on the headland on the E side of the entrance amongst the trees is a good guide. Once due N of the inlet, the village and harbour are clearly identifiable. Depths in the approach are 12-15 metres and at the quay 3.0 - 4.0 metres.
Entrance
Split is the nearest all-year round port of entry. During the summer, Hvar and, if arriving from N, Primošten on the mainland are also ports of entry.
Berthing
Stomorska luka
Mooring lines have been laid along the quay on the E side of the inlet, providing berths stern or bows-to for 30-35 yachts of up to 20 metres.
Depths along the quay range from 2.5 metres at the S end to 3.0 metres at the N end (slightly reduced along much of its length by a short shelf, which should only cause problems for yachts with deep, transom-hung rudders). Depths where your keel will be lying are, however, 4.0 metres all along the quay except for the section of quay in front of the restaurant Volat (the one with the red umbrellas), which has depths of only 1.5 – 2.0 metres and is therefore only suitable for shallow-draught vessels.
There are three widely-spaced water and electricity points on the quay. Toilets and showers available in the harbour offices (up the steps next to the post office). Shelter here is good in all conditions except with strong N winds, when a heavy swell enters and the harbour becomes untenable.Anchorages
The nearest anchorages are U. Necujam two miles NW or U. Gornja Krusica just over a mile SSE. See Solta for details.
