Zadar is three miles across the channel from Ugljan

The island of Ugljan lies just under three miles W of the city of Zadar on the mainland coast of Croatia, separated by the channel of the Zadarski Kanal. The island is around 12 miles long and barely two miles wide at its widest point. On its western side are the islands of Iz and Dugi Otok and to the SE is the island of Pašman, to which Ugljan is joined by a road bridge with a clearance of only 16.5 metres. The island’s proximity to Zadar makes it a popular destination on summer weekends and its hourly ferry service enables a sizeable number of residents to commute to work in the big city. Most of the island’s harbours and anchorages are spaced along the NE side of the island, including two marinas at the island’s capital, Preko roughly in the centre of the NE coast and at Olive Island Marina in U. Sutomiscica two miles NW.

U. Zdrelašćica

U. Zdrelašćica/wiki/Ugljan#U._Zdrela.C5.A1.C4.87ica
Buoy icon U. Zdrelašćica [[Ugljan#U. Zdrelašćica|U. Zdrelašćica]] (Prolaz Mali Zdrelac) 44°01.123'N, 015°15.191'E

Prolaz Mali Zdrelac is the narrow channel separating Ugljan from its close neighbour, Pašman Island. The anchorage is on the NE, mainland side of the channel.

Note: the road bridge over the channel has a clearance of 16.5 metres only, so the anchorage should only be approached from the SW side if your mast (and aerials!) give you an air draft of less than that. Pick up one of the mooring buoys here in depths of 3.0 - 4.0 metres or use your anchor. Holding is good in mud. Shelter here is very good in all conditions.

Places to Visit

Ugljan Island’s proximity to Zadar on the mainland makes it a popular weekend and holiday destination for local tourists and its main harbours of Preko and Sutomiscica are invariably busy with vessels of all kinds during the summer. Several of the settlements on the island boast historic palaces from wealthy 15th or 16th century Zadar families as well as even older churches. Just off the town of Preko is the island of Galevac, which has a 15th-century Franciscan monastery, and the hill above it boasts a Venetian castle.
