Harbour of U. Stiniva from the N

The cove of U. Stiniva lies four miles E of the extreme Western tip of the island of Hvar in Croatia and two miles W of the entrance to the Starogradski Zaljev, the gulf leading to the harbour of Stari Grad. There is a small harbour at the head of the cove, formed by a breakwater extending from the W side which is quayed on its inner side. There is little in the cove except for a few houses and holiday homes at the head of the bay, but it is a pleasant and peaceful stop as long as there is nothing N in the wind.

The best mooring position is on the inside of the jetty extending from the W side of the cove. There is space for three or four yachts to go bows or stern-to using their anchors or—if the bay is quiet—or one to go alongside (as long as you are prepared to raft up if someone else arrives). Depths on the jetty are 4.0 - 6.0 metres. The jetty is quite high and getting lines ashore involves a bit of a scramble. The holding is good in sand. Shelter here is good in all but N winds, which makes the harbour untenable if they are very strong.

Otherwise, anchor in the bay in 6.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in sand with weed patches.
