The town of Vodice lies on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], six miles NW of [[Sibenik]] and just over a mile E of  [[Tribunj]].  Originally a small fishing village, the town has expanded with the construction of several large hotels and an ACI yacht marina and is now one of the busiest resorts along the central Adriatic coast.  Yachts have the option either of the berthing in the town’s small harbour, where there are few facilities, or in the 290-berth Marina Vodice immediately NE of the town harbour.

Diurnal winds along the coast are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5.  At night, katabatic winds off the mountains are a feature of some of the harbours along the NE Adriatic coast.  During early spring and (especially) autumn conditions can be more unsettled, occasionally accompanied by violent thunderstorms - luckily of short duration - with winds of 30-35 knots or more and vicious, steep seas.  In the winter the sudden, violent N wind off the mountains, the ''bora'', is much to be feared, especially along the Velebitski channel.  It tends to blow less strongly S of Zadar.

Equally prevalent in winter - although not uncommon in summer - is the ''scirocco'', a S/SE wind that blows up from North Africa, usually in advance of a depression moving E across the Mediterranean.  Unlike the ''bora'', the ''scirocco'' only occasionally exceeds gale force, but is still a phenomenon to be wary of, especially if on a lee coast.

The town of Vodice lies on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, six miles NW of Sibenik and just over a mile E of Tribunj. Originally a small fishing village, the town has expanded with the construction of several large hotels and an ACI yacht marina and is now one of the busiest resorts along the central Adriatic coast. Yachts have the option either of the berthing in the town’s small harbour, where there are few facilities, or in the 290-berth Marina Vodice immediately NE of the town harbour.

Local Weather

Diurnal winds along the coast are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5. At night, katabatic winds off the mountains are a feature of some of the harbours along the NE Adriatic coast. During early spring and (especially) autumn conditions can be more unsettled, occasionally accompanied by violent thunderstorms - luckily of short duration - with winds of 30-35 knots or more and vicious, steep seas. In the winter the sudden, violent N wind off the mountains, the bora, is much to be feared, especially along the Velebitski channel. It tends to blow less strongly S of Zadar.

Equally prevalent in winter - although not uncommon in summer - is the scirocco, a S/SE wind that blows up from North Africa, usually in advance of a depression moving E across the Mediterranean. Unlike the bora, the scirocco only occasionally exceeds gale force, but is still a phenomenon to be wary of, especially if on a lee coast.

Approach and Navigation

Approach from N and W should be made between the islands of Logorun and Tijat immediately S of Tribunj. There are no dangers in the approach from S. However, note that there is a rocky shoal patch 200 metres SE of the entrance to the marina. The shoal is marked with an unlit starboard hand beacon. Once close in, the town is easily identified by a large hotel on the peninsula to the S and a conspicuous white war memorial at the root of the town harbour breakwater. The harbour is entered from SSE. Turn to port for the small town harbour, which is round a short breakwater at the SW end of the town, or to starboard for the ACI marina, which is located inside the long eastern breakwater.

Berthing options

The berths at the town quay are equipped with laid moorings but little else. Go stern/bows-to the quay where directed. Depths are 4.0 metres. Alternatively, request a berth in Marina Vodice, where there is a full range of services. See marina entry for details. Depths in the marina are 2.5 - 4.0 metres. Shelter is good in the town harbour and excellent in the marina.
