Luka Solišćica at the NW end of Dugi Otok, while less popular and offering poorer shelter than Luka Telašćica in the prevailing NW winds, is nevertheless an attractive cruising ground with a greater variety of anchorages and the marina of Marina Veli Rat.

Anchorages

The whole area consists of two bays. The W bay contains the anchorage of Zaljev Pantera, the marina of Marina Veli Rat and the shallow anchorage of U. Cuna. In the E bay is the hamlet of Soline and the inlet of Lucica.

U. Soline

Anchorage icon U. Soline [[Luka Solišćica#U. Soline|U. Soline]] 44°08.470'N, 014°52.645'E
The hamlet and anchorage of Soline lies at the SE end of the E bay of Luka Soliscica. Anchor off the village in 6.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed. Shelter here is good in all conditions except strong NW winds, when U. Lucica offers better shelter. No facilities ashore.

U. Lucica

Anchorage icon U. Lucica [[Luka Solišćica#U. Lucica|U. Lucica]] 44°08.514'N, 014°52.058'E
U. Lucica lies about half a mile WNW of Soline in an inlet protected from all except strong E winds. Anchor 6.0 - 8.0 metres, being careful to avoid the sunken wreck in the centre of the inlet. The holding is moderate to good in mud and weed.

Zaljev Pantera

Anchorage icon Zaljev Pantera [[Luka Solišćica#Zaljev Pantera|Zaljev Pantera]] 44°08.968'N, 014°50.236'E
The anchorage of Zaljev Pantera is entered by rounding a starboard buoy at the end of a low rocky spit extending for half a mile SE from the headland on the W side of the entrance to Luka Soliscica. After rounding the buoy, head NW for a mile into the anchorage. Anchor in depths of 5.0 metres or, alternatively, pick up one of the mooring buoys provided for visitors (a charge is made). Holding is good in sand. Shelter here is good in all conditions, although strong N winds blow straight over the low lying land on the N wide of the anchorage.

U. Cuna

Anchorage icon U. Cuna [[Luka Solišćica#U. Cuna|U. Cuna]] 44°08.270'N, 014°51.524'E
U. Cuna is a totally enclosed cove - virtually a ‘hurricane hole’ entered via a narrow channel that continues SE past the marina and village of Veli Rat. The entrance is only suitable for shallow to moderate draft yachts as depths in the marked channel are less than 3.0 metres. Once inside the cove, either anchor in 2.5 - 3.0 metres or pick up one of the numerous mooring buoys laid along the W and NE shores. Holding is excellent in mud, as is the shelter. Restaurants ashore. Note: Water circulation is quite poor in this cove, so in certain conditions a smell develops.
