 Makarska harbour looking E |
The town and harbour of Makarska lie on the so-called Makarska Riviera on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, seven miles SE of the harbour of Baska Voda and four miles NW of the small harbour of Tucepi. The island of Brac lies six miles to the W and the steep Biokovo mountain range two miles inland. A popular beach resort, the natural harbour on which Makarska sits has been quayed to create several hundred metres of berthing space, albeit only the eastern part of the harbour has suitable depths for a yacht.
Visiting yachts berth either alongside or stern/bows-to the quays using their anchors. Alternatively it is possible to anchor in the SE corner of the harbour in depths of 5.0 - 8.0 metres.

The bay of Makarska sits inside the eastern arm of a long, cigar-shaped peninsula, probably at one time an island but now joined to the mainland by a shallow, sandy spit. The peninsula is conspicuous from distance. The W side of it is low and sandy, while the E side, behind which the harbour lies, is bounded by steep cliffs, as is the coastline on the E side of the bay. The bay opens up once round the peninsula and the quays are clearly visible.
Berthing
There are laid moorings for a small number of visiting yachts in the northeast corner of the harbor, 50 meters north of the large jetty. Depths at the quays are 3.0 metres on the E side of the bay but shoal to under a metre on the W side.
The short pier at the SE end of the harbour has depths of 4.0 - 5.0 metres but is in constant use by tripper boats during the day. It may be possible to find space here overnight.
Anchorages
Alternatively to the moorings, anchor off just S of the pier in depths of 5.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in mud and sand. Shelter in the harbour is good with winds from all directions except W and SW, when a significant swell rolls into the bay.
