| summary= [[Šipan]] Island is the largest of a chain of small islands lying barely two miles off the coast of [[Croatia]]. Known as the '''Elafiti Islands''' (from the Greek word ''elaphos'', meaning deer, which with the islands were presumably formerly populated), the chain is mostly heavily forested and unspoilt. Several of the islands are popular day trip destinations for holidaymakers staying in Dubrovnik, but visiting yachts using the various anchorages around the islands can usually escape the worst of the crowds (especially outside the peak months of July and August) and even the busier anchorages quieten down at night when the tripper boats go home. Šipan Island is around nine miles NW of the port of [[Dubrovnik]], and is a popular summer beach destination for day trippers. Wine and olive oil were formerly the backbone of the local economy, but increasingly tourism is the island’s prime source of income. Although a relatively large island, Šipan only offers suitable berths for yachts in two small harbours, [[#Luka Sipanska|Luka Sipanska]] and [[#Sudurad|Sudurad]], plus a settled weather anchorage at the small islet of [[#O. Misnjak|Misnjak]] at its N end.

Diurnal winds among the islands are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5, although gusting is common in narrow channels between islands and on the lee side of headlands. At night, katabatic winds off the mountains affect some of the islands close to the mainland 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.

''See [[Croatia#Weather|Croatia]]''.

+
-
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.

Luka Sipanska is the largest of several villages on the island and the main passenger ferry port.  The bay is approached from S through the narrow channel of Prolaz Harpoti between Sipan and Jakljan islands or from N along the NE side of a chain of islets fringing the NE side of Jakljan Island.  The harbour and anchorage lie at the head of a mile-long NW-facing inlet.  Anchor S of the ferry jetty on the NE side of the harbour (which carries a red light structure) in 5.0 - 6.0 metres.  The holding is good in mud.  There are also around eight laid moorings on the town quay SE of the ferry jetty which can be used by visiting yachts.  Depths here are 3+ metres (if one does touch, the bottom is thick mud). You can anchor north of the ferry jetty, but you must leave room for the ferry to come in and back out.  The holding is good in the mud.  The restaurant ''Kod Marko'' has four mooring bouys that can be booked in advance.  You must eat at the restaurant if you use one. Shelter is good here in all but strong NW winds, which send in a heavy swell.  Provisions store, restaurants and café/bars ashore.

The village of Sudurad is situated at the SE end of the island, opposite the small islet of Ruda. If approaching from S, note that shoals extend for nearly 400 metres SSE of the headland at the S end of the bay. There are also a number of above-water rocks which lie 200-300 metres E of the village and its tiny harbour. Anchor outside the harbour in depths of 4.0 - 5.0 metres, between the ferry jetty on the S side of the harbour (used by a car ferry from Dubrovnik) and the rocks to the E or, in S winds, in the wooded cove 500 metres S of the harbour. Holding is good in sand. Alternatively there may be space on the quay immediately NE of the ferry jetty, where there are 8-10 laid moorings in depths of 4.0 - 5.0 metres. These are often filled with local fishing boats, however. Shelter in the anchorage is good except with anything E in the wind. Provisions shops and restaurants ashore.

Anchorage of Luka Sipanska from N

Šipan Island is the largest of a chain of small islands lying barely two miles off the coast of Croatia. Known as the Elafiti Islands (from the Greek word elaphos, meaning deer, which with the islands were presumably formerly populated), the chain is mostly heavily forested and unspoilt. Several of the islands are popular day trip destinations for holidaymakers staying in Dubrovnik, but visiting yachts using the various anchorages around the islands can usually escape the worst of the crowds (especially outside the peak months of July and August) and even the busier anchorages quieten down at night when the tripper boats go home. Šipan Island is around nine miles NW of the port of Dubrovnik, and is a popular summer beach destination for day trippers. Wine and olive oil were formerly the backbone of the local economy, but increasingly tourism is the island’s prime source of income. Although a relatively large island, Šipan only offers suitable berths for yachts in two small harbours, Luka Sipanska and Sudurad, plus a settled weather anchorage at the small islet of Misnjak at its N end.

Navigation

Add any navigation notes such approaches, dangers etc here. If this section does not apply, remove it.

Entrance

Dubrovnik is the nearest year-round port of entry.

Berthing

There are two principal berthing options on the island, the ports of Luka Sipanska at the NW end of the island and Sudurad at the SE end.

Luka Sipanska has laid moorings suitable for shallow to moderate draft yachts

Luka Sipanska is the largest of several villages on the island and the main passenger ferry port. The bay is approached from S through the narrow channel of Prolaz Harpoti between Šipan and Jakljan islands or from N along the NE side of a chain of islets fringing the NE side of Jakljan Island. The harbour and anchorage lie at the head of a mile-long NW-facing inlet. Anchor S of the ferry jetty on the NE side of the harbour (which carries a red light structure) in 5.0 - 6.0 metres. The holding is good in mud. There are also around eight laid moorings on the town quay SE of the ferry jetty which can be used by visiting yachts. Depths here are 3+ metres (if one does touch, the bottom is thick mud). You can anchor north of the ferry jetty, but you must leave room for the ferry to come in and back out. The holding is good in the mud. The restaurant Kod Marko has four mooring bouys that can be booked in advance. You must eat at the restaurant if you use one. Shelter is good here in all but strong NW winds, which send in a heavy swell. Provisions store, restaurants and café/bars ashore.

If approaching from the S, note that shoals extend for nearly 400 metres SSE of the headland at the S end of the bay. There are also a number of above-water rocks/wiki/%C5%A0ipan#above-water_rocksDanger icon above-water rocks [[Šipan#above-water rocks|above-water rocks]] 42°42.656'N, 017°54.886'E which lie 200-300 metres E of the village and its tiny harbour. Anchor outside the harbour in depths of 4.0 - 5.0 metres, between the ferry jetty on the S side of the harbour (used by a car ferry from Dubrovnik) and the rocks to the E or, in S winds, in the wooded cove 500 metres S of the harbour.
