More notes about the Marina

Marina Rab lies in the old harbour of the town of Rab Town on the SW side of the island of Rab in Croatia. The marina offers a total of 142 berths for yachts up to 20 metres in depths up to 5.0 metres. The marina is safe in most conditions, although strong S winds cause an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous surge. For this reason, the marina opens only from 15 April to 1 November.

Marina radio contact

Call Marina Rab on VHF channel 17. Alternatively, call or e-mail for advance reservations.

Navigation/Approach

The approach is through a mile-wide gap between the long island of O. Dolin to the S and the headland of Rt. Frkanj to the N. A shoal marked with a light pillar, Plicina Frkanj, lies around 400 metres SE of Rt Frkanj and a second shoal, Plicina Vela Sika, a further 500 metres SE. The best approach is on a course half way between Rt Frkanj and Plicina Frkanj, giving the former a good clearance as there is shoal water around it. The marina itself is entered round the S end of the peninsula on which the town sits. An islet 500 metres SE is joined to the mainland by a long breakwater, giving the marina some protection from S winds.

Berthing

Berthing assistance available on request. Visiting yachts berth stern/bows-to on one of four pontoons at the S end of the marina. Depths from 3.0 - 5.0 metres. Laid moorings at all pontoons.
