 The harbour of Sveti Martin |
The bay and harbour of Sveti Martin (Saint Martin) lies on the E coast of the island of Losinj, one mile NW of the harbour of Veli Losinj and 11 miles S of the Osor canal. It is a convenient alternative port of call in suitable conditions for a visit to the main island town of Mali Losinj, just over half a mile NW across a narrow spit of land, when transiting the Osor canal. Like Veli Losinj and Rovenska, the other ports along the E coast, the harbour becomes untenable with strong N winds.

Islands
There are no dangers in the approach to Sveti Martin. However, take care in the approach from N to give the headland immediately N of the harbour a good clearance as there are rocks off it. Shelter in the harbour is good from all directions except NE and E, when it becomes uncomfortable and, if strong, untenable.
Entrance
The nearest port of entry is Mali Losinj.
Berthing
The inner harbour is shallow and usually filled with local boats. The best option for a visiting yacht is to berth stern or bows-to on the short breakwater that encloses the harbour on the N side. Depths here are 4.0 metres. You will probably need to use your anchor here, being careful to avoid the permanent moorings. Alternatively anchor off in the bay to the W of the harbour in 7.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and mud.
