Chart of Zmanscica harbour

The small harbour of Žman lies at the head of U. Žmanšćica on the SE coast of the island of Dugi Otok off the mainland coast of Croatia, four miles NW of the settlement of Sali. Primarily a fishing port, its inner harbour is crammed with local small craft. However, the breakwater that protects the harbour from SE winds has been quayed and moorings laid for visiting yachts, together with electricity and water points. Shelter in the harbour is good from the prevailing winds but it is completely open E and strong NE or E winds would probably make it untenable.

Navigation

There are no dangers in the immediate approach to Zmanscica. Once closer in, the harbour breakwater is easily identifiable by the legend ‘ZMAN’ painted on it. The harbour is entered from the ENE. Depths in the entrance are 5.0 - 6.0 metres and on the quay 3.0 - 5.0 metres.

Visiting yachts berth stern or bows-to on the inside of the breakwater, where there are around 20 laid mooring lines in depths of 3.0 - 5.0 metres. Shelter is good in winds from all directions except NE and E.

There are water and electricity points along the quay.

Note: the inner harbour is shallow and unsuitable for yachts.

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

None.

Anchorages

If all the moorings are taken, it is also possible to anchor off N of the harbour in 4.0 - 5.0 metres. Holding here is good in sand and weed but the shelter is less good than in the harbour.
