| summary= '''Kaprije''' (Italian: ''Capri di Dalmazia'') is an island which lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], seven miles W of the port of [[Šibenik]]. The islands of [[Kakan]] and [[Zmajan]] lie immediate W and E respectively.  With a total area of only 2.7 square miles, the island supports a population of around 140, mostly centred on its single settlement – village of Kaprije. The economy of the island is based on olive and grape production and, presumably, capers, from which the island takes its name. Today, of course, tourism is also an important contributor. The island is also known by film buffs as it served as a setting for the Oscar-winning film, ''Mediterraneo''. Kaprije is commonly visited by sailors [https://www.zizoo.com/en/yacht-charter-sailing-routes/sibenik-to-kornati-and-krka-park on route from Šibenik]. Like many of the smaller Croatian islands, Kaprije is car-free. The island's main harbour is located at the head of a deep inlet on its W coast.

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.  In the winter the sudden, violent N wind off the mountains, the ''bora'', is much to be feared, especially along the coast from Rijeka down to Zadar, although its effects can be felt as far south as Split.

-
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 Kaprije (Kaprije harbour) from NW

Kaprije (Italian: Capri di Dalmazia) is an island which lies off the mainland coast of Croatia, seven miles W of the port of Šibenik. The islands of Kakan and Zmajan lie immediate W and E respectively. With a total area of only 2.7 square miles, the island supports a population of around 140, mostly centred on its single settlement – village of Kaprije. The economy of the island is based on olive and grape production and, presumably, capers, from which the island takes its name. Today, of course, tourism is also an important contributor. The island is also known by film buffs as it served as a setting for the Oscar-winning film, Mediterraneo. Kaprije is commonly visited by sailors on route from Šibenik. Like many of the smaller Croatian islands, Kaprije is car-free. The island's main harbour is located at the head of a deep inlet on its W coast.

Berthing

There are two berthing options on the island, Luka Kaprije the harbour of Kaprije Town and several anchorages.

Ports

Yachts berthed at the jetty in the village of Kaprije

Luka Kaprije

Luka Kaprije/wiki/Kaprije#Luka_Kaprije
Harbour icon Luka Kaprije [[Kaprije#Luka Kaprije|Luka Kaprije]] (village harbour) 43°41.240'N, 015°42.453'E

The harbour is situated at the head of a half mile long inlet open NW. At the head of the bay on the E side next to the town is a concrete jetty, the outer side of which is used by the ferries.

The inside is equipped with laid moorings for 10-12 yachts to berth bows or stern-to. Depths at the jetty are 5.0 - 6.0 metres. Shelter in the harbour is good in all except with moderate to strong NW winds. There are water and electricity posts on the jetty; water is available 0800-1200, ask for assistance otherwise.

For provisions in the village, a boat can moor temporarily alongside on the outside of the jetty. This is also a landing place for ferries, so it's worth asking the harbourmaster's permission before securing your lines.

Anchorages

There are some good anchorages around the island. Just to name a few:

Luka Kaprije anchorage

Buoy icon Luka Kaprije anchorage [[Kaprije#Luka Kaprije anchorage|Luka Kaprije anchorage]] (Kaprije Bay) 43°41.189'N, 015°42.519'E

There are around 20 buoys laid in the bay in 3.0 - 5.0 meters. The per-night charge is HRK20/metre. The buoys experience some chop in the prevailing NW sea breeze, but it dies down by evening.

Alternatively, it is possible to anchor in the bay opposite the village of Kaprije, ensuring that you are well clear of the ferry turning circle. Anchor in 6.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed.

Warning: The anchorage is untenable with strong NW winds.
Anchorage of Mala Nozdra

The anchorage of U. Mala Nozdra lies at the S end of Kiprije, facing two small islets, Misjak Veli/wiki/Kaprije#Misjak_VeliIsland icon Misjak Veli [[Kaprije#Misjak Veli|Misjak Veli]] 43°40.279'N, 015°44.372'E and Misjak Mali/wiki/Kaprije#Misjak_MaliIsland icon Misjak Mali [[Kaprije#Misjak Mali|Misjak Mali]] 43°40.175'N, 015°45.526'E , to the SE.

Note: In the approach that there are shoals to the NW of the tiny islet on the NW side of Misjak Veli. The anchorage offers good shelter in all but with SE winds.

Both sides of the inlet are now subject to a concession, with mooring buoys for which a charge is made.

Alternatively, there are also a few buoys provided by the two restaurants ashore, which are free if you eat there.

Otherwise anchor towards the head of the inlet in 5.0 - 6.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed.
