The small island of Vir Island in [[Croatia]] lies just off the SW end of the larger island [[Pag]], separated from it by a channel less than a mile wide, the Kanal Nove Povljane. At its SE end the island is joined to the mainland by a road bridge, the channel beneath which is navigable only by small vessels. The island has just one village on the S coast, Vir Town, with a population of around 1500, and an even smaller settlement on its N coast, Lozice. Although a small island, it is a popular destination for tourists from the mainland during the summer. Vir is less visited by yachtsmen than its neighbouring islands, however, in view of its limited facilities, which consist of an anchorage in the wide bay off Vir Town open to S winds and another off Lozice open N.<br />

| imagetext= The tiny harbour of Lozice with Pag island in background<br />
| imagewidth= <br />
| text= The bay of Zaljev Vir is nearly two miles wide from W to E. Its eastern extremity terminates at the bridge joining the island to the mainland. The settlement of Vir Town sprawls along most of the N shore of the bay. If approaching from W, note that there is an unmarked shoal area around 500 metres NE of the headland at the W end of the bay. Once into the bay, anchor wherever convenient off the town in 6.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed. Shelter is good here in the prevailing NW winds, but the bay is completely open S and SE and untenable in strong winds from this directions. In the event of fresh to strong easterlies, the cove at the NE end of the bay {{mark |44|17.4|N|15|07.02|E| type= anchorage |name= Uvala Prezida| zoom= 15}} offers better shelter, with lines ashore if necessary. There are several jetties along the shore in front of the town. Normally they are occupied by small local craft and fishing boats, but it may be possible for a moderate draft yacht to lie alongside or bows/stern-to using the anchor at one of these if there is room. }}<br />

The harbour here is too shallow for most yachts, but there is a good anchorage off the harbour in 6.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed. The anchorage offers good shelter in S winds and is the place to head if there is a scirocco forecast, but is completely open N and should not be used in any but light winds from that direction.}}<br />

====Places to Visit====<br />
Vir is a busy island during the summer, although somewhat less frequented by yachts than some of its neighbouring islands. There is little to do ashore but explore the village or trek the numerous pathways. There are plans for further development on the island, to include a hotel complex and marina, but these appear to have stalled for the time being.<br />

The small harbour of Uvala Lucina is the main ferry port of the island of [[Molat]] in [[Croatia]] and lies on the SE side of the Brgulski Zaljev, the large gulf that bisects the southern end of Molat. It is situated just over a mile NW from the SE extremity of the island and two miles SE of the large buoy field at the settlement of Brgulje. The harbour provides berths for around 20 yachts in total, mostly with laid moorings (plus two alongside for larger yachts) in depths of between 2.0 and 5.0 metres. The inner harbour at the top of the inlet is shallow and suitable for small craft only. Shelter is excellent in all but SW winds, which send a swell directly into the harbour and render it untenable if they are very strong. The small settlement of Lucina is around 500 metres uphill from the harbour.<br />

<br />
==Navigation==<br />
There are no dangers in the immediate approach to U. Lucina. The spire of the village church on the hill at the head of the inlet is conspicuous, as is the red port marker on the end of the ferry jetty on closer approach.<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
There are four main berthing options in U.Lucina.<br />
<br />
'''A. Outside of ferry quay''' <br/ ><br />
<br />
On the outside of the jetty where the ferry berths there are five laid moorings in depths of 3.5 – 4.0 metres at the N end. The S end of this section is reserved for tripper and hotel boats. The N part of the quay is clearly marked in blue lettering 'Yachts Only'.<br />
<br />
'''B Indented quay section'''<br/ ><br />
<br />
Immediately N of the ferry quay is an indented section of quay with laid moorings for 10 yachts in depths of 2.5 – 3.5 metres. Depths at the quay are variable in parts and yachts with deep rudder draft may prefer to go bows-to. The whole harbour is relatively shallow here and the mooring lines extend out from the quay at a very shallow angle, so care is needed when berthing to avoid tangling with the lines of moored yachts.<br />
<br />
'''C. Concrete catwalk'''<br/ ><br />
<br />
At the N end of the harbour on the outside of the breakwater of the inner harbour is a concrete catwalk that has six moorings in shallow depths of only 1.5 – 2.0 metres. These moorings are at 90 degrees to the moorings on the indented quay section and are only really suitable for smaller yachts and day boats going bows-to.<br />
<br />
'''D. Inside of ferry berth'''<br/ ><br />
<br />
There is room for 2-3 yachts only to moor alongside on the inside of the ferry jetty in depths of 4.5 – 5.0 metres. These positions are normally reserved for larger yachts. It can be noisy in this position when the ferry is in and running its generator.<br />
<br />
==Yacht Repairs and Services==<br />
====Marine Stores====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
====Repairs/Yards====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
====Fuel, Water, & Electricity====<br />
No fuel dock. Electricity points on the quay. Water available in small quantities only and at an extra charge.<br />

The settlement of Lucina is around 500 metres uphill from the harbour and is quiet and completely untouristy – some might say locked in time. From here it is possible to explore the unspoilt and peaceful island of Molat on several walking trails. <br />

Silba Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], 10 miles SSE of the island of [[Losinj]] and two miles W of the island of [[Olib]]. Six miles SE lies the tiny island of Skarda and, beyond it, [[Ist]] and [[Molat]]. An attractive and wooded island with a population of only 265, Silba has a long history dating back beyond the Roman era and, like many of the Croatian islands, has a strong seafaring tradition. Today the island survives on fishing and tourism, largely yachting tourism, and its interior is largely traffic-free except for agricultural vehicles. Visiting yachts have the option of mooring in the busy harbour on the E side of the island or one of two anchorages on the W side which offer good shelter in all but S winds.<br />

| imagewidth=<br />
| text= The harbour of Silba is situated on the E coast of the island, where it is narrowest. It is a popular port of call during the season, and it pays to arrive early during July and August if you want to moor here. There are laid moorings for around 30 yachts in the harbour, distributed between the breakwater and the E side of the pier opposite. Depths in the harbour entrance are 4.0 metres and at the breakwater and the pier from 2.5 to 3.0 metres. If mooring at the breakwater, it is best to go bows-to as there is ballasting in places. Shelter in the harbour is good, although strong NE winds would probably make it very uncomfortable. }}<br />

| text= Luka Sv. Ante lies on the SW coast of the island, a mile NW of the headland of Rt. Juzni Arat at its S extremity. The inlet has two arms, both of which offer good anchorages, although the N one offers better shelter in the prevailing winds. A white-painted chapel is a good landmark on the ‘bulge’ of coastline between the two arms. There are no dangers in the immediate approach to Luka Sv. Ante, although there is a reef off the headland at the entrance to the N arm, the end of which is marked with a bollard.<br />
<br />
There are mooring buoys for visitors in both arms which can be picked up. Alternatively, anchor in 5.0 - 7.0 metres and take a line ashore to the stone jetty in the N arm or the stone bollards along the E side of this arm. Finally, it is also possible to free anchor in either arm. Depths in the S arm are greater, at 8.0 - 10.0 metres. Holding in both arms is good in sand and mud and shelter is good in all but winds from W round to S. }}<br />

Silba is an attractive island, largely traffic-free and deservedly popular during the season in view of its safe harbour. Ashore there is little to do but appreciate the quiet charm of the village on the island or stroll its numerous pathways. The village contains an impressive octagonal lookout tower, the Toreta, built by a wealthy 19th century sea captain and with an intriguing love story attached.<br />
<br />
Popular beaches in Silba include Sotorisce, a sandy beach on the southern end and Pocukmarak, a picturesque pebble stone beach.<br />

'''Taha'a''', the sister island of the larger [[Raiatea]] is encomassed within the same lagoon as Raiatea. The enclosed lagoon with its wide channels, calm waters, and steady winds make for a good sailing ground. The island grows a large amount of vanilla and also grows fine cultured pearls which are its main exports.<br />
<br />
Taha'a is one of the most under-rated islands of the Pacific, in my opinion. It offers many sheltered bays with good anchorages, as spectacular scenery as you'd see anywhere in the Pacific, excellent snorkelling and diving opportunities, and on-shore attractions such as the vanilla farms. Cycling or riding a scooter around the island offers some great scenery including aquaculture, fruit trees and orchards, as well as the vanilla plantations. Island life is simple and laid back here and the people are friendly.<br />

The bay and harbour of Sveti Martin (Saint Martin) lies on the E coast of the island of [[Losinj]], one mile NW of the harbour of [[Veli Losinj]] and 11 miles S of the Osor canal. It is a convenient alternative port of call in suitable conditions for a visit to the main island town of [[Mali Losinj]], just over half a mile NW across a narrow spit of land, when transiting the Osor canal. Like Veli Losinj and [[Rovenska]], the other ports along the E coast, the harbour becomes untenable with strong N winds.<br />

==Navigation==<br />
There are no dangers in the approach to Sveti Martin. However, take care in the approach from N to give the headland immediately N of the harbour a good clearance as there are rocks off it. Shelter in the harbour is good from all directions except NE and E, when it becomes uncomfortable and, if strong, untenable.<br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
The nearest port of entry is [[Mali Losinj]].<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
{{Image right|SvetiMartinHarbour.JPG |The tiny inner harbour of Sveti Martin}}<br />
The inner harbour is shallow and usually filled with local boats. The best option for a visiting yacht is to berth stern or bows-to on the short breakwater that encloses the harbour on the N side. Depths here are 4.0 metres. You will probably need to use your anchor here, being careful to avoid the permanent moorings. Alternatively anchor off in the bay to the W of the harbour in 7.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and mud.<br />

The picturesque, small harbour of Savar is situated on the SE coast of the island of [[Dugi Otok]] off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], two miles W of the N tip of the neighbouring island of Iz. The hamlet and its short jetty lie at the S end of a U-shaped inlet open N and protected from E by a short spit of land with a conspicuous church on the end. The harbour, though charming, makes little concession to yachts, which must tie up on the outside of the miniature harbour, the inside being taken up with small craft moorings. Shelter here is good in all conditions but strong northerly winds.<br />

Rab Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], 10 miles E of the long island of [[Cres]] and six miles S of Croatia’s largest island, [[Krk]]. The three-mile wide Paski Kanal separates Rab from the island of [[Pag]] to the south. Between the island and the mainland lies the infamous Velebitski Kanal, where winds in excess of 60 knots have been recorded during the fierce northerly winds known as the bora. The bora has stripped most of the vegetation from the E side of the island, but its western side is by contrast green and fertile, with pine forests, olive groves and vineyards. While less frequented than Krk or Cres islands, both of which are easily reached from the international airport of [[Rijeka]], Rab has its fair share of tourism, attracted by its pine forests and sheltered beaches. Most of the island’s main attractions are found in the mediaeval street plan of Rab Town, famous for its churches and bell towers dating back as far as the 12th century. The Lopar Peninsula at the northern end of the island has over 20 beautiful beaches fringed with pine forests. For the visiting cruiser, the main settlement of [[Rab Town]] and its 142-berth marina are to be found on this sheltered western side, whereas eight miles NNW by sea is the larger 247-berth marina of [[Marina Supetarska Draga]]. In addition, there are several small harbours and anchorages, mostly along the sheltered west-facing coasts, but with very limited facilities for yachts.<br />

==Berthing==<br />
The principal berthing options for yachts visiting the island are the ACI-operated marinas at [[Rab Town]] and [[Marina Supetarska Draga]] or the anchorages in the various bays on the NW and SW sides of the island. There are no sheltered harbours or anchorages facing the Velebitski Kanal on the E side.

The inlet offers good shelter in all but strong SE winds. A shoal marked with a light pillar, Plicina Frkanj, lies around 400 metres SE of the headland 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. Anchor wherever the depths are convenient. Depths in the inlet range from 3.0 metres at the head to 15 metres off the town. Holding is excellent in sand and mud. }}<br />

| text= There is a series of useful inlets extending for a mile W of the settlement of Suha Punta, which lies two miles W of Rab Town. Three of the inlets offer suitable anchorages for a cruising yacht in depths ranging from 5.0 - 10.0 metres. The holding is generally good in sand and weed. The most popular of the inlets is U. Sv. Kristofor (see co-ordinates above), the most westerly of the three. Shelter in the inlets is good in all conditions except S winds. }}<br />

| image= | imagetext= | imagewidth=<br />
| text= U. Sv. Mara is a two-pronged inlet situated one mile SE of the headland of Rt. Kalifront at the extreme NW corner of the island. The more northerly arm offers the better shelter, although shelter in both arms is good in all except S and SW winds. Depths are 3.0 - 7.0 metres. Holding is good in sand and weed. }}<br />

| image= | imagetext= | imagewidth=<br />
| text= Kamporska Draga is the westernmost of the three large inlets on the NW coast of the island. Almost two miles long, the inlet narrows towards its head, where there is a good anchorage off the village of Kampor. The approach is safe, although there are some isolated above-water rocks on the E side of the inlet. Shelter is good in all conditions except strong NW or N winds. Anchor in 5.0 - 8.0 metres off the village. Holding is good in sand. }}<br />

| image= | imagetext= | imagewidth=<br />
| text= Supetarska Draga is the middle and largest of the three inlets on the NW coast of Rab Island. In addition to the large marina of [[Marina Supetarska Draga]] at the head of the inlet, there are several attractive anchorages along its W side. The best anchorages are amongst the small islets at the NW corner of the inlet, where there are depths of 5.0 - 12.0 metres and excellent holding in sand. A detailed chart is a help in view of the various shoals and isolated rocks. Shelter is good here from most directions, although strong NW winds would be problematic and strong E winds would make the anchorages uncomfortable. Alternatively, anchor at the head of the inlet, immediately SW of the marina, where depths are 5.0 - 6.0 metres and the holding good in sand and mud. }}<br />

| image= | imagetext= | imagewidth=<br />
| text= The anchorage of U. Lopar is the easternmost of the three inlets on the NW coast. Shelter here is not as good as in the other two inlets and it would not be a good place to be in strong N/NW or S winds. However, in settled weather it is a useful anchorage on passage around the N end of Rab Island. Anchor at the head of the inlet off the village of Lopar on the E side. Depths here are 4.0 - 8.0 metres and holding is good in sand and weed. A car ferry uses the small pier at the village and it may be possible to moor bows or stern-to the inner side of the pier (although anchoring is more peaceful). }}<br />

Rab Town, like most of the Croatian island capitals, is an attractive mediaeval town, with narrow streets and red-tiled rooftops punctuated by soaring church bell towers, and is well worth visiting for its churches dating back to the 12th century and 15th century Dominis Palace. Elsewhere around the island, the area around Lopar has the best beaches, surrounded by groves of pine trees, and the forests around the resort of Suha Punta have some good hiking trails.<br />

The islands of Ravni Žakan and Kameni Žakan are lying off the SE tip of the island of [[Kornat]] in the [[Kornati Islands]] group of [[Croatia]]. The two islands are separated from Kornat by the mile-wide channel of the Kornatski Kanal. Two miles to the E is the island of [[Vela Smokvica]] with a further anchorage. Ravni Žakan offers two anchorages, offering good shelter in N and S winds respectively, whereas Kameni Žakan has just one settled weather anchorage off its W coast. As part of the Kornati National Park, a daily permit is required to visit the islands. Ashore, there is a visitor centre of the Kornati National Park and two restaurants on Ravni Žakan but no facilities on Kameni Žakan. Both islands are largely uninhabited except for the restaurant and national park staff during the season.<br />

[[Zadar]] and [[Sibenik]] are the nearest all-year ports of entry. In summer only, [[Bozava]] and [[Sali]] on [[Dugi Otok]] are also ports of entry.<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
There are three berthing options on Ravni Žakan Island, on the N and S sides of the island, plus a third option just W of the island of Kameni Zanak, in the channel between it and the islet of Jančar.

Shelter in the bay is good in all conditions except strong S winds.<br />
<br />
There are no dangers in the approach, although in the approach from S '''beware of the reefs''' half a mile SW of Kameni Žakan.<br />
<br />
Depths in the outer part of the anchorage are 12 metres, shoaling gradually towards the head to around 4.0 metres.<br />
<br />
At the head of the bay is the Restaurant Ravni Žakan, which has a jetty with laid moorings and recently installed water and electricity on the jetty. The jetty is very busy in summer. <br />
<br />
There are also some (free) mooring buoys in the bay which can be picked up if you do not wish to eat in the restaurant. Finally, it is possible to free anchor in 9.0 - 10.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed. <br />
<br />
Also ashore here is a visitors centre for the Kornati National Park where daily permits can be purchased if you have not already done so prior to arrival. <br />

Raiatea is the first of the '''Leeward Islands''' part of the [[Society Islands]] in a north/westerly direction, sailing from [[Tahiti]] or [[Moorea]]. It is the second largest island in [[French Polynesia]] after [[Tahiti]] and [[Uturoa]] on the north of the island is the second largest city, but much smaller than [[Papeete]].<br />
<br />
In some respects it is better to have repairs and provisioning done here rather than in [[Tahiti]]. A few major yacht charter companies make their base here, and there is a large repair yard called '''Chantier Naval des Îles''' which reportedly does good work, as well as several industries that service the charter boat industry. However it is an extra hop by plane or boat from [[Papeete]] and so any parts that need to be flown in will take that extra bit longer to arrive.<br />
<br />
Almost the entire lagoon of Raiatea is sailable, making it a pleasant place for a sailing cruise as well as a provisioning stop. It has many bays and other interesting places to explore.<br />

<br />
==Weather==<br />
See [[French_Polynesia#Weather|French Polynesia Weather]]<br />
<br />
==Passages==<br />
Typically it would be an overnight or day cruise from [[Moorea]] to [[Raiatea]]. This would be entirely downwind in the cruising season (May to November).<br />
<br />
<br />
==Islands==<br />
* Raiatea and the smaller island of [[Tahaa]] to the north share a lagoon, and it's a daytime hop between the two (with views of [[Bora Bora]] to the north west).<br />
* Both Raiatea and Tahaa have many small motus which can be used as anchoring stops but most are private (although the beaches of the motus are open access).<br />
<br />
==Communication==<br />
There are no radio nets specific to Raiatea.<br />
<br />
==Navigation==<br />
There are 3 navigable passes on the eastern (leeward) side of Raiatea. They are, from south to north, at {{Coord|16|49.8082|S|151|20.6756|W}}, {{Coord|16|47.2001|S|151|22.8127|W}} and {{Coord|16|47.2001|S|151|25.1476|W}}. All three offer reasonable shelter in the prevailing winds, are well marked (green buoy to starboard as you enter), and are sufficiently deep.<br />
<br />
Once through one of the passes and inside the lagoon calm sailing conditions can be expected with light to moderate winds and sheltered seas. The channel is well marked, with the markings that are standard in [[French Polynesia]] being red on the landward (island) side of the channel and green on the reef side of the channel.<br />
<br />
Assuming you're approaching from the South East (in the direction of [[Tahiti]], it may be preferable to aim to enter the southern most pass and enjoy the sailing inside the lagoon as you work northwards up the channel.<br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
There is a gendarmerie on [[Raiatea]] in the town of [[Uturoa]] and so it can be used as a port of entry. For other details see the page on [[French Polynesia]].<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
<br />
===Ports===<br />
* [[Uturoa]] (Port of Entry)<br />
<br />
===Marinas & Yacht Clubs===<br />

==Anchorages==<br />
Raiatea has a number of anchorages, an anchorage guide such as ''South Pacific Anchorages'' or ''Charlies Charts'' should be consulted for a comprehensive list. Here are a few of the most useful ones:<br />
* Anchorage space is available just north of the northern marina at [[Uturoa]] (the one used by Dream Yacht Charters) and there are also 2 or 3 mooring buoys there that can be used with the agreement of the charter company.<br />
* West and South of [[Marina Apooiti]] there is free anchoring space.<br />
* Anchoring in any of the bays off either coast (west coast preferred during trade winds) is suitable, many bays have fish traps and/or pearl farms around them so take care.<br />

Pag Island is a long and narrow island, the country’s fifth largest, lying off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]] opposite the Velebit mountain range. Nearby islands include [[Rab]], [[Olib]] and [[Vir]]. Although nearly 40 miles long, the width of the island varies from just two to ten miles. The island is connected to the mainland via a road bridge at its extreme SE end, with an air clearance of 35 metres and therefore navigable by all but the largest yachts . On its eastern side lies the Velebit Channel, infamous for the violence of its winds during a strong bora. The island is largely bare of trees, unlike some of its neighbours, and subsists largely on fishing, tourism and the production of wine and cheese. The tangy, salty Pag cheese, soaked in olive oil, is widely considered one of the best in Croatia. Visiting yachts mostly make for the main harbour of Pag Town on the E coast or the marina at Simuni on the W coast, though there are also several good anchorages around the island, depending on wind conditions.<br />

==Berthing==<br />
The principal berthing options on Pag Island are the rather exposed harbour of [[Pag Town]] on the E side of the island or the government-owned ACI marina of [[Simuni Marina]] on the W coast, although there are additional good anchorages at the villages of Zubovici and Caska in the inlet of Pag Town and (S to N) Povljana, Kosljun, Novalja, Jakisnica and Tovarnele on the W coast.

<br />
====Places to Visit====<br />
The island is quite bare and rocky and, apart from its proximity to the awe-inspiring range of the Velebit mountains, has little to recommend it in the landscape. Most of the tourism interest centres on Pag Town, which largely dates from the 15 century and contains many old buildings. The town lies at the head of a large inlet facing the Velebit mountains and is surrounded by salt pans (the manufacture of the famous Pag cheese being the other major industry). The 16th century church of St Mary’s has an intriguing sculpture over its door, showing the Virgin surrounded by Pag women in local headdresses. The nearby Ducal Palace has a similarly ornate doorway. Pag Town also boasts a small lace museum, celebrating the other craft (in addition to cheesemaking) for which the island is celebrated.<br />

The harbour of Pag Town lies at the S end of a large, six mile long inlet entered from the Velebit Channel on the E side of the island of [[Pag]] in [[Croatia]]. The inlet provides reasonable shelter in most conditions, although with a fetch of six miles from the NW, winds from that direction can make Pag Town a very uncomfortable place to be. Largely constructed under the Venetians in the 15th century, the town’s prosperity derived from the extensive salt pans that surround the S end of the inlet. Much of the mediaeval centre of the town still survives, although today its income derives more from the production of lace and the famous Pag cheeses. Visiting yachts have the option of berthing on the town quay, either alongside or stern/bows to the section with laid moorings, or anchoring off the town in 4.0 - 5.0 metres.<br />

==Navigation==<br />
Approach is via the entrance to the inlet from the Velebit Channel at {{Coord legacy|44|28.2|N|15|04.5|E|}}, then after a mile on a NW course rounding the headland of Rt. Sv. Nikola and heading SSE. There can often be a tidal current of up to 3-4 in the channel here. The harbour of Pag Town lies just over two miles SSE of Rt. Sv. Nikola. On the final approach, note that there are shallows to the W of the town quay marked by buoys and then posts. <br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
None, [[Mali Losinj]] is the nearest port of entry. <br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
<br />
{{Image right|PagQuay.jpg |Pag quay can be choppy in NW winds }}<br />
<br />
Visiting yachts either berth alongside at the S end of the town quay, just S of the small basin (which is usually filled by local boats) or stern/bows-to the section N of the basin, where there are some laid moorings. Depths at the S end are 3.0 - 3.5 metres and on the N section 2.5 - 3.0 metres. Shelter here is reasonably good in most conditions, although the prevailing NW winds can make it a bit choppy in the afternoons. A strong NW wind would probably make it untenable here. There are no facilities on the town quay, but it is handy for provisions and restaurants.<br />

====Tourism====<br />
The area around Pag Town is quite bare and rocky and, apart from its proximity to the awe-inspiring range of the Velebit mountains, has little to recommend it in the landscape. Most of the tourism interest centres on the settlement of Pag Town itself, which largely dates from the 15th century and contains many old buildings. The town lies at the head of a large inlet facing the Velebit mountains and is surrounded by salt pans (the manufacture of the famous Pag cheese being the other major industry). The 16th century church of St Mary’s has an intriguing sculpture over its door, showing the Virgin surrounded by Pag women in local headdresses. The nearby Ducal Palace has a similarly ornate doorway. Pag Town also boasts a small lace museum, celebrating the other craft (in addition to cheesemaking) for which the island is celebrated.<br />

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olib Olib] Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], two miles E of the island of [[Silba]] and five miles NE of the island of [[Molat]]. An attractive and traffic-free island with a population of only 147, Olib has a long history dating back beyond the Roman era. It has no natural water sources, so most of the water used was captured in domestic cisterns until the construction of an underwater pipeline, which now brings precious supplies to Olib. Today the island survives on fishing and tourism, supplemented by the production of products such as olive oil, wine and cheese. Yachting tourism, as with many of the smaller Croatian islands, makes a not insignificant contribution to tourist income. Visiting yachts have the option of mooring on the ferry jetty in the main harbour of Luka Olib on the W side of the island or anchoring off either here or the bay of Luka Sv. Nikola on the SW coast. <br />

==Entrance==<br />
[[Mali Losinj]] is the nearest port of entry. In summer only, Bozava on [[Dugi Otok]] is also a port of entry. <br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
There are three berthing options on Olib Island: <br />
===Ports===<br />

| text= The port of Luka Olib is situated on the W coast of the island, at the head of a nearly two mile wide bay. If approaching from N, note that the islet of Hrid Kujack has dangerous rocks off it and shallows extending all the way NNE across to the island. The port consists of a tiny, shallow small craft harbour unsuitable for yachts and a long ferry pier with laid moorings on either side for visiting yachts. Water and electricity on the quay. On the S side, starting at the yellow marker, there is place for 10 yachts. Depth at the quay 2.3 meters. This part is relatively shallow so beware of the mooring lines. The inner end of the S quay is taken up by small local boats. On the E side Depths are 4.0 metres but this part is more exposed. There is place for 10 Yachts. The W side is reserved for ferries and tripper boats up to the yellow marker. Shelter here is moderate to good, depending on wind strength and direction, but it is not a good place to be with very strong winds from N through W to SW. }}<br />

The moorings are mostly in depths of 6.0 - 8.0 metres and offer reasonable shelter in settled conditions but are rather exposed in any winds from N round to SW. If all the buoys are taken, anchor in 6.0 - 7.0 metres wherever there is space. Holding is good in sand. }}<br />

====Places to Visit====<br />
Olib is a peaceful spot, virtually traffic-free and its main harbour is popular during the season with visiting yacht crews. Ashore there is little to do but appreciate the quiet charm of the village on the island or stroll its numerous pathways. The village contains an impressive defensive tower built for protection from pirates in the 17th century. The church of the Assumption of Mary holds a number of codices in the ancient Glagolitic language.<br />

Molat Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], two miles NE of the island of [[Dugi Otok]] and 17 miles NW of the port of [[Zadar]]. Shaped rather like an arrowhead, the island has an area of just under 23 square kilometers, supporting just three small settlements, Molat, Zapuntel and Brgulje, all of which were established some distance inland for protection from pirates. In consequence, the shoreline of the island supports only small harbours or jetties with little habitation around them. Inhabitants of Molat support themselves by agriculture, sheep rearing, fishing and, increasingly, tourism, including yachting tourism. There are just two (more or less) organized berthing facilities: the quay and laid moorings of Uvala Lucina, the small harbour which serves the settlement of Molat Town, and the mooring buoys of Uvala Vrulje, which is the sea outlet of the village of Brgulje.<br />

==Berthing==<br />
There are several berthing options on Molat Island. The deep inlet of Brguljski Zaljev which runs nearly three miles into the S side of the island contains the small harbour of [[#U. Lucina|Uvala Lucina]]; the even tinier harbour and mooring buoy field of Brguljeki and two sheltered anchorages at Uvala Podgarbe and Uvala Luka. On the N-facing coast of the island are two further anchorages, the bay of Luka Jazi half a mile N of Molat Town and the inlet of Uvala Zapuntel, off the hamlet of the same name in the channel between Molat and Ist islands, which has mooring buoys.

| text= The small harbour of U. Lucina is the main harbour of the island and is situated on the E side of the inlet of Brguljski Zaljev at the head of a natural cleft. It offers around 20 berths for yachts, most with laid moorings. Shelter is excellent in all but strong SW winds. See separate Wiki page [[Uvala Lucina]] for details. }}<br />

| text= {{Image right|BrguljeAnchorage.jpg |Yacht moorings at Brgulje }}<br />
Brgulje lies around two miles NW of Molat Town and half a mile inland from a tiny harbour and mooring buoy field sheltered from W by the small island of Bruglje Otok. The harbour is too shallow for yachts, but the municipality has laid 17 mooring lines on the outside of the N breakwater for visiting yachts. Depths here are barely 2.0 metres, so it is best to go bows-to if using these. There is water and electricity on the breakwater and toilets and showers are available. Alternatively, pick up one of the 92 mooring buoys that have been installed between the harbour and the island of Brgulje Otok in depths of 4.0 - 6.0 metres. There no facilities on the buoys although refuse is collected. Charges on the mooring lines (November 2012) are Euros 2.2 per metre including water, electricity, toilets and showers and on the buoys Euros 1.91 per metre including refuse collection. Shelter here is good in all but S winds. }}<br />

The bay of U. Zapuntel lies off the hamlet of the same name, in the Prolaz Zapuntel, the channel between Molat and Ist islands. The harbour at the head of the bay is protected by a dogleg breakwater with depths alongside of 3.0 - 4.0 metres, where it is possible for 2-3 yachts to lies alongside on the E side if there is space. The W side is used by ferries. Alternatively, pick up one of the mooring buoys laid in the bay in 7.0 - 8.0 metres. A charge is made. Finally, it is possible to anchor clear of the mooring buoys in 6.0 - 8.0 metres if desired (although it is possible you may still be charged). Shelter in the bay is excellent in all conditions, although a strong NE wind sends in an uncomfortable swell.}}<br />

| text= The inlet of Luka Jazi lies on the NE coast of the island, half a mile N of Molat Town and a mile S of the islet of Otok Tovernjak. It is the best anchorage for a visit to Molat Town when there are strong southerlies prevailing. There is a small rocky islet at the NW end of the bay which should be left to starboard if approaching from W as there are shoals between it and the shore. Anchor near the head of the inlet in 4.0 - 5.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and mud. The small harbour at the head is too shallow for yachts. Shelter here is good in winds from W through S round to E, but the anchorage is unsuitable if there is anything N in the wind. Molat Town is 10 minutes walk up the hill from the harbour. }}<br />

====Places to Visit====<br />
Molat is unspoilt and peaceful and an excellent spot for walking, which will be enough for most visitors. Although the villages are not unattractive, there is little of real historic interest (if one discounts the fact that King Edward VIII of England visited here in 1939 with Wallis Simpson).<br />

'''The Republic of Nauru''' is an island country in Micronesia in the South Pacific. Nauru is the world's smallest republic, covering 21 square kilometres (8.1 sq mi). With 9,378 residents, it is the second least-populated country after Vatican City.<br />
<br />
Do not visit Nauru. See below.<br />
<br />
Do not get Nauru confused with [[Niue]], which is a perfectly nice place to visit.<br />
<br />
To keep this section and this page really short: '''Do not visit Nauru'''. There are several reasons for this:<br />
<br />
* There is no fringing reef, lagoon or useable anchorage. There are a few large ship moorings just off the port of Aiwo, however they are too large to be useful for a crusing yacht.<br />
* The (Australian) customs agent in charge of clearance into and out of the port is extremely heavy-handed, and will suggest that any ship owner arriving without prior notice, permits (which don't appear to be obtainable by anyone arriving by yacht), and visas in advance has broken the law, and will ask vessels to leave regardless of the conditions, or face prosecution.<br />
<br />
Recent changes to Australian immigration and asylum detention policy once again (as of late 2012) sees refugees being housed on the island. This is a fairly sensitive subject in Australia, and the officials in charge of implementing that policy are likely to become even more strict in deterring visitors to the island. Past attempts to run humanitarian convoys to the island have met with naval blockades and other government interference, and any visiting cruising vessel is likely to be treated in much the same manner.<br />
<br />
Although one vessel has in the past (2010) reported that they were able to heave to in the lee of the island and have fuel brought out to them, the recent changes in detention policy are likely to see even this refused.<br />
<br />
Simply: Do not go there.<br />

The harbour of Mali Losinj lies on the W coast of the island of [[Losinj]], at the head of a three mile long natural inlet. Entered from its NW end, the inlet provides good protection in winds from any direction, although with a three mile fetch the harbour at its head can be choppy in strong NW winds. The town itself is most attractive, its waterfront lined with the imposing former residences of 19th century sea captains. It was a popular resort during the days of the Austro-Hungarian empire and the bay of Cikat a mile W of the town is overrun with smart villas and exclusive hotels. Yachts are well catered for, with no less than three small marinas in the inlet plus the option in settled weather of the E town quay or the W harbourmaster's quay. No anchoring is permitted in the inlet, although the bay of U. Artaturi two miles NW offers good shelter in all but S winds.<br />

==Navigation==<br />
{{thumb|Entrance to Mali Losinj from Veli Lošinj - panoramio.jpg|Yachts passing the Privlaka bridge channel}}<br />
<br />
The approach to Mali Losinj is through a 500 metre wide channel between the island of O. Koludarc to the S and the headland of Rt. Torunza to the N. Both should be given a good clearance as there are shallows extending for some 50 metres off them. <br />
<br />
An alternative approach is through a narrow canal, the Prolaz Privlaka, dug through the spit of land that encloses the E side of the inlet a mile NNW of the harbour. Depth in the canal is approx. 2.4 metres with the width is 8 metres the passage is therefore only suitable for monohulls of moderate draft. <br />
<br />

| text=is just at the north of Mali Lošinj at the locality of Privlaka. The bridge which carries the road over the canal opens morning and evening (currently 0900 and 1800) to allow passage by yachts. Vessels coming from the South (harbour) have priority. In case of strong wind bridge may be closed due to dangerous current and waves.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Shelter in Mali Losinj is good in most conditions, although in strong NW winds the harbour at the head of the inlet gets quite choppy. Conditions are unlikely however to be dangerous unless a yacht is alongside the quay on the E side of the harbour.<br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
Mali Losinj is a port of entry. The customs office is immediately S of the canal of Provaz Privlaki. The harbourmaster's office is on the W side of the harbour, 100 metres N of the Yacht Club marina pontoons.<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
{{Image right|MaliLosinjYC.JPG |Yacht Club Marina, Mali Losinj }}<br />
{{Image right|MaliLosinjNQuay.JPG |The newly refurbished E quay }}<br />
{{Image right|MaliLosinjWQuay.JPG |The W quay opposite the harbourmaster's office }}<br />
There are five main options for yachts berthing in Mali Losinj, working from N to S: <br/ ><br />
<br />
'''Marina Losinj'''<br/ > lies on the NE side of the inlet, a mile NW of the town and just N of the canal of Provaz Privlaki. It offers 84 berths for yachts up to 18 metres and maximum draft of 8.0 metres. Click on the link [[Marina Losinj]] for separate Wiki page.<br />
<br />
'''Mali Losinj Marina'''<br/ > lies on the NE side of the inlet, just under a mile NW of the town and just S of the canal of Provaz Privlaki. It offers 80 berths for yachts up to 18 metres and maximum draft of 8.0 metres. Click on the link [[Mali Losinj Marina]] for separate Wiki page.<br />
<br />
'''Yacht Club Marina'''<br/ > lies inside the old harbour at the head of the inlet and consists of five pontoons with 110 berths for yachts of up to 30 metres and maximum draft of 8.0 metres. Click on the link [[Yacht Club Marina]] for separate Wiki page.<br />
<br />
'''W Quay'''<br/ ><br />
There is a newly refurbished length of quay just outside the harbourmaster's office immediately N of the pontoons of Yacht Club Marina. Yachts can lie alongside here in depths of 5.0 – 6.0 metres while completing formalities in the harbourmaster's office (or even overnight at less busy periods). Shelter here is adequate in settled weather, but subject to swell from passing vessels and probably untenable in a ''bora''.<br />
<br />
'''E Quay'''<br/ ><br />
The town quay on the E side of the harbour, which used to be too low for use by yachts, has been raised by around a metre and mooring rings have been installed at the N end of it, just S of the stub jetty. There is room here for 3-4 yachts to lie alongside in depths of 3.0 - 4.0 metres with reasonable shelter from most directions, albeit with regular wash from the tripper boats<br />

====Tourism====<br />
Mali Losinj is a typical Croatian island town, with narrow mediaeval streets and red-tiled rooftops punctuated by soaring church bell towers. Its quays are mostly lined with the imposing former mansions of 19th century sea captains. The 17th century Church of the Nativity 100 metres SE of the harbour is worth a visit for the impressive artworks contained within. A walk along the sea promenade to St Martin’s Bay half a mile E of the harbour brings you to the Church of St. Martin, with a fine cemetery containing tombs of Italian nobility and local sea captains. The walk along the E side of Losinj island continues to [[Veli Losinj]], the original island settlement, which is dominated by the impressive Baroque church of St. Antun on the harbour. Dozens of sea captains lie buried under the church floor here, their other memorial being the numerous fine villas ringing the harbour. Another half hour’s walk SE around the peninsula is the neighbouring and even smaller harbour of Rovenska. A rather longer walk or cycle ride in the other direction from the harbour takes you to the bay of Čikat along a narrow sea promenade fringed with pine trees. Čikat is a relatively upmarket resort, with several villas formerly owned by Austrian and Italian aristocrats, although the route there is lined with ugly campsites and camper van parks. <br />
<br />
====Grocery & Supply Stores====<br />
* Several supermarkets and other provisions shops in the town.<br />
* Several butchers and bakeries.<br />
* Fish market.<br />
<br />
====Eateries====<br />
* Numerous cafes and restaurants around the harbour and in the town.<br />
* ''Baracuda'' restaurant on W side of harbour was good in 2004 (and excellent in 2015). --[[User:Atheneoflymington|Athene of Lymington]] <br />

Krk Island lies in the bay of Rijeka in [[Croatia]], between the mainland to the east and the long island of [[Cres]] to the west, from which it is separated by a three mile wide strait. Its northern extremity is connected to the mainland by a road bridge with a clearance of 45 metres, which carries busy traffic between the city of Rijeka and its international airport at the NE end of the island. Croatia’s largest island, it is also one of the most popular with tourists, especially from Austria, Germany and Slovenia, attracted by its good transport connections. The N and NW coasts of the island are mostly steep-to and rocky with few settlements, but the S and SW parts experience a milder climate, with more forestry and agriculture and the main settlements of [[Krk Town]], [[Punat]] and [[Baska]]. The island’s main harbour of Krk Town has moorings for visiting yachts and good shelter in all but strong southerlies, while the inlet of Punat two miles E contains an 800-berth marina, [[Marina Punat]], which is very popular with over-wintering yachts. Several smaller harbours and anchorages around the coasts of the island can be visited in suitable conditions, but few have any facilities for yachts. The island’s main attractions include the 13th - 16th century Krk Cathedral and Venetian castle, both in[[ Krk Town]], and the lovely mediaeval village of Vrbnik on the E coast, famous for its delicious ''zlahtina'' white wine. The resort of Baska on the S coast is popular with hikers, attracted by its mountain trails, while the inlet of Punat contains a picturesque 16th century Franciscan monastery on a small island in the centre of the inlet.<br />

| text= U. Mala Luka is a sheltered, L-shaped inlet at the SE extremity of Krk Island, opposite the town of [[Senj]] on the mainland. A small islet, O. Zecevo, lies 1.5 miles due E of the inlet.

====Places to Visit====<br />
[[Krk Town]] is a picturesque mediaeval town, with narrow streets winding around its old quarter, of which the highlight is the cathedral, built between the 13th and 16th centuries, and the Venetian castle five minutes’ walk to the east. The castle is the venue for concerts and theatrical events during the Krk Festival in July and August. From Krk Town it is a long six-mile hike or shorter bus ride NE to the delightful mediaeval village of Vrbnik, famous for its ''zlahtina'' white wine (try it at the Konoba Nada with smoked ham and cheese). Barely two miles E of Krk Town is the large inlet of Punat with the 16th century Franciscan monastery of Kosljun on an island in the centre. The resort and small harbour of Baska at the SE end of island is impressively sited, nestling between two high mountain ranges, and is popular with trekkers.<br />

{{Port of Entry}}<br />
<br />
Losinj Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], immediately W of the island of [[Cres]], to which it was once joined and from which it is now separated by the narrow canal at the town of [[Osor]] in Cres. Five miles to the W are the small islands of [[Unije]] and [[Susak]] and just over a mile SSE is the equally small island of [[Ilovik]]. Losinj is a popular tourist destination, especially in July and August, when hordes of Italian holidaymakers flock to the island using the regular ferry service from [[Venice]]. The island’s principal town, [[Mali Losinj]], is also the main port of entry in this part of Croatia and is thus a much-frequented port of call by yachts crossing from the Italian coast between [[Ancona]] and Venice. The island’s main attractions are to be found in the two settlements of Mali Losinj and [[Veli Losinj]] and tripper boats to the offshore islands of Unije, Susak and Ilovik are also busy during the summer. Most visiting yachts head for the main harbour of Mali Losinj (Veli Losinj has little space for a visiting yacht) although there are smaller harbours at [[Nerezine]] (where there is also a small boatyard and marina), [[Sveti Martin]] and [[Rovenska]] as well as several attractive anchorages along the SW coast of the island.<br />

==Navigation==<br />
The island is separated from the island of Cres by a narrow channel with a moveable bridge. See [[Osor]] for further details.<br />
<br />
Also see [[Mali Lošinj#Navigation|Mali Lošinj]] for approaches to the main port on the island.<br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
[[Mali Losinj]] is a port of entry. The customs and police are based at [[Mali Losinj Marina]] (the second on the left on the approach to the town, just E of the narrow canal), where there is a customs quay. <br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />

{{Image right|Rovenska.JPG |Rovenska harbour is filled with small craft}}<br />
{{Image right|SvetiMartinHarbour.JPG |The tiny harbour of Sveti Martin}}<br />
The principal berthing options for yachts visiting the island are the three marinas established in the inlet of Mali Losinj, [[Marina Losinj]] and [[Mali Losinj Marina]] on the NE side of the inlet in the approaches to the old harbour and [[Yacht Club Marina]] at the head of the inlet in the old harbour itself. The first two marinas are around a mile from the town centre. Smaller harbours are to be found at [[Nerezine]], [[Veli Losinj]], [[Sveti Martin]] and [[Rovenska]] on the E coast. Most of the anchorages are on the W coast of the island, both N and S from [[Mali Losinj]].

<br />
{{Poi | type= anchorage| name= U. Artaturi | lat= 44.573167| lon= 14.41| zoom= 15<br />
| text= The inlet of U. Artaturi is situated one mile NW of the entrance to the inlet of Mali Losinj and extends for nearly a mile N from the open sea. It offers good shelter in all winds except strong southerlies. Anchor at the head of the inlet on either side of the central rocky spit. Depths are between 4.0 and 10.0 metres and the holding is good in sand. The bay is popular with both cruising yachts and holidaymakers and parts of it are taken up with moorings.}}<br />
<br />
{{Poi | type= anchorage| name= U. Liski | lat= 44.590447| lon= 14.382374| zoom= 15<br />
| text= U. Liski lies on the NW coast of the island around five sea miles from the entrance to Mali Losinj. Note that a small islet, with dangerous shoals between it and Losinj Island, lies just under a mile SW of the inlet. Shelter in U. Liski is good from S and W but poor in northerly winds. Depths are 4.0 - 8.0 metres, Holding is good in sand and weed. }}<br />
<br />
{{Poi | type= anchorage| name= U. Sv Jakov| lat= 44.64136066301829| lon= 14.399009980448227| zoom= 16|<br />
| text= The bay of Sv. Jakov lies on the NE coast of the island in the southern approaches to the Osor canal, about one mile S of the harbour of Nerezine. The bay is protected from N by an island joined to Losinj by a sandy spit. Shelter is good in winds from W and N but poor in southerlies and strong NE winds. The best anchorage is at the head of the bay just off the beach in depths of 5.0 - 7.0 metres. Holding is good in sand and weed. The surroundings are attractive and wooded, but the anchorage is surrounded by holiday villas.}}<br />
<br />
{{Poi | type= anchorage| name= Luka Balvanida | lat= 44.491402636928484| lon= 14.500764816484336| zoom= 17<br />
| text= The inlet of Luka Balvanida lies on the SW coast of the island and offers good shelter in all but strong W or SW winds. Anchoring depths are 5.0 - 8.0 metres and the holding is good in sand. The anchorage is good for swimming off the boat. }}<br />
<br />
{{Poi | type= anchorage| name= Luka Krivica | lat= 44.497881218238945| lon= 14.494162199146057| zoom= 16<br />
| text= Luka Krivica is a deep, dogleg inlet on the SW coast of Losinj, just half a mile NW of Luka Balvanida. The inlet is open SW, like Luka Balvanida, but it is possible for relatively shallow draft yachts to anchor at the head of the inlet to obtain better shelter if the winds turn W or S. Depths in the inlet are 5.0 - 8.0 metres but only 2.0 - 3.0 metres at its head. The anchorage is usually very busy during the season and it will probably be necessary to take a line ashore. Holding is good in sand and weed. }}<br />
<br />
{{Poi | type= anchorage| name= Luka Cikat | lat= 44.530167| lon= 14.4565| zoom= 15<br />
| text= The bay of Luka Cikat lies half a mile SE of the resort of the same name, on the W side of the peninsula that encloses Mali Losinj inlet. The bay offers good shelter from most directions but is completely open W. Depths range from 4.0 metres inshore to 18.0 - 20.0 metres in the centre. Holding is good in sand and weed. Note: anchoring here is forbidden during the holiday season of May - September.}}<br />

====Places to Visit====<br />
The main town of Mali Losinj is, like most of the Croatian island capitals, an attractive mediaeval town, nestling at the SE end of a deep natural inlet. Its busy waterfont is lined with the pretty, pastel-painted houses of former merchants and ships captains. Within easy walking distance along a ''lungomare'' which winds along the N coast of the island are the equally attractive and often quieter former fishing villages of Veli Losinj, with its impressive Baroque church of Sv. Antun, and Rovenska. The settlement of Cikat on the other side of the peninsula a mile W of Mali Losinj is a pleasant resort, with several villas formerly owned by Austrian and Italian aristocrats, although now fringed with ugly campsites.<br />

The history and background of Long Beach, California is best observed on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Beach,_California Wikipedia]<br />
<br />
In recent years, the City of Long Beach has undergone substantial urban redevelopment which started with the revitalization of the Long Beach waterfront including the building of Rainbow Harbor and Shoreline Marina. Today, visitors to Long Beach will find a colorful, vibrant and tourist friendly atmosphere with an endless array of sites, stores, restaurants and entertainment coupled with free public transportation on the water and off.<br />

Located within Long Beach Harbor are four man made islands built by the oil consortium THUMS. These islands were built to resemble resort islands to blend in with the surrounding coastal environment. THUMS is a model operation that demonstrates how technology can be used to mitigate the impact of oil operations on sensitive environments. THUMS derived its name from the original consortium of Texaco, Humble, Unocal, Mobil and Shell that operated the field.<br />
<br />
The four islands, Grissom, White, Chaffee and Freeman, were named after the first astronauts who died in the line of duty early in the U.S. space program. Located between a few hundred yards to 1.5 miles offshore in Long Beach Harbor, they provide a safe haven for vessel anchorage.<br />

The small island of Lavsa lies off the SW coast of the island of [[Kornat]] in the [[Kornati Islands]] group of [[Croatia]]. It is separated from Kornat by the mile-wide channel of the Kornatski Kanal. Immediately NW is the island of Piskera with its 118 berth marina of [[Marina Piskera]]. The island offers just one anchorage, offering excellent shelter in virtually all conditions except very strong NE winds. The anchorage also has mooring buoys and two restaurants open during the season. As part of the Kornati National Park, a daily permit is required to visit the island. Ashore, the island is largely barren and uninhabited except for the restaurant staff during the season.<br />

| text= U. Lavsa is a long inlet extending over half a mile and entered from the N side of the island. Depths in the outer part of the inlet are over 20 metres, but the inlet shoals gradually towards the head to only 3.0 metres. <br />
<br />
{{Danger}} At the top of the inlet, beyond the moorings, depths are less than a metre and there are rocks. <br />
<br />
Pick up one of the buoys laid towards the head of the inlet in 4.0 - 5.0 metres. Alternatively, anchor wherever you can find space in 4.0 - 6.0 metres; it will probably be necessary to take a line ashore if the anchorage is busy. Shelter here is excellent in all conditions, although very strong NE winds send in some swell.<br />
<br />
Two restaurants ashore during the season.<br />

Ist Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], five miles S of the islands of [[Silba]] and [[Olib]] and separated from the island of [[Molat]] to the SE by the narrow channel of Prolaz Zapuntel. The island is butterfly shaped and offers two anchorages on its SE and NW sides in the bays between the two ‘wings’, of which the bay on the SE side is the bigger and more popular of the two. The island’s main settlement of Ist Town straddles the narrow spit between the two bays. The island has a population of barely 200, which is largely dependent on tourism, much of it from the visiting yachts which berth on the jetties or mooring buoys in the bays or on the additional mooring buoys in the Prolaz Zapuntel between Ist and Molat islands. <br />

==Entrance==<br />
[[Mali Losinj]] is the nearest all-year port of entry. In summer only, Bozava on [[Dugi Otok]] is also a port of entry.<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
There are three berthing options on Ist Island:<br />
===Ports===<br />
{{Poi | type= harbour | lat= 44.270205041481745 | lon= 14.765915783808952 | zoom= 16 | name= U. Siroka<br />
| image= IstSiroka.jpg | imagetext= Yachts moored in U. Siroka | imagewidth=<br />
| text= {{Image right|IstJetty.jpg |Yachts moored on jetty, U. Siroka}}<br />
The bay of U. Siroka is situated on the SE side of the island, a mile W of the [[#Prolaz Zapuntel|Prolaz Zapuntel]] which separates the island of Ist from its neighbouring island, [[Molat]]. The main part of Ist Town lies at the head of the bay and its small harbour has been well converted to meet the needs of visiting yachtsmen, with alongside berths and laid moorings accommodating some 30 yachts on its two jetties and around 40 mooring buoys SE of the harbour. There are no dangers in the approach, but note that there is a shoal patch at the entrance to the bay, roughly equidistant from the two headlands enclosing it, which is marked with a pole. Shelter here is excellent in the prevailing NW winds, but the whole bay is open SE.<br />
<br />
Yachts berth as directed either alongside the N side of the larger jetty (ensuring they do not occupy the ferry berth) or stern or bows-to on the S side, using the laid moorings provided. Alternatively, berth stern or bows-to on the S side of the smaller jetty immediately N, where there are also laid moorings for up to 10 yachts. Depths on the ferry jetty are between 2.0 metres at the root and 4.0 metres at the end. Depths at the smaller jetty are 2.0 - 2.5 metres.<br />
<br />
Finally, if all berths are taken (which is not uncommon in the peak season), pick up one of the 40 or so mooring buoys laid SE of the harbour in depths of 3.0 - 4.0 metres. A charge is made for using the buoys (as is the case for the laid moorings). In the village there is a small grocery shop and several restaurants.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Poi | type= harbour | lat= 44.277992318827884 | lon= 14.760076734462174 | zoom= 16 | name= U. Kosiraca<br />
| image= | imagetext= | imagewidth=<br />
| text= The bay of U. Kosiraca on the NW side of the island is smaller and narrower than U. Siroka and less well equipped to receive visiting yachts. However, it is much better sheltered if there are strong S winds in the forecast. Anchor as far in to the head of the bay as your draft permits in depths of 3.0 - 10.0 metres and take line ashore if possible to one of the bollards along the shoreline. The holding is moderate to good in sand and weed. Shelter is good in all but N and NW winds. The numerous jetties further in to the inlet are occupied by local boats.<br />
<br />
Alernatively, berth alongside on the short ferry jetty on the W side of the anchorage if there is not a ferry due. Depths here are 5.0 - 6.0 metres. It is also possible to free anchor to the W of this jetty in 6.0 - 8.0 metres, but the holding is reportedly suspect.<br />

| text= Prolaz Zapuntel is the channel between Ist Island and its near neighbour just 250 metres to the SE at its narrowest point. Tides can run relatively strongly through the channel, but there is a good anchorage in the bay that cuts into the SE end of Ist Island, where depths are 4.0 - 8.0 metres. In the approach from W, note that there is a rocky shelf between the tiny islet of Skrivelica and the shore and therefore a yacht should not pass between them. The anchorage is supplied with mooring buoys (a charge is made) or, if they are all taken, it is possible to free anchor clear of the buoys at the head of the bay, draft permitting. The holding is good in sand and mud. Shelter in the anchorage is good in all but strong E winds, when it becomes uncomfortable but not untenable. }}<br />

The small harbour of Uvala Lucina is the main ferry port of the island of [[Molat]] in [[Croatia]] and lies on the SE side of the Brgulski Zaljev, the large gulf that bisects the southern end of Molat. It is situated just over a mile NW from the SE extremity of the island and two miles SE of the large buoy field at the settlement of Brgulje. The harbour provides berths for around 20 yachts in total, mostly with laid moorings (plus two alongside for larger yachts) in depths of between 2.0 and 5.0 metres. The inner harbour at the top of the inlet is shallow and suitable for small craft only. Shelter is excellent in all but SW winds, which send a swell directly into the harbour and render it untenable if they are very strong. The small settlement of Lucina is around 500 metres uphill from the harbour.<br />

<br />
==Navigation==<br />
There are no dangers in the immediate approach to U. Lucina. The spire of the village church on the hill at the head of the inlet is conspicuous, as is the red port marker on the end of the ferry jetty on closer approach.<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
There are four main berthing options in U.Lucina.<br />
<br />
'''A. Outside of ferry quay''' <br/ ><br />
<br />
On the outside of the jetty where the ferry berths there are five laid moorings in depths of 3.5 – 4.0 metres at the N end. The S end of this section is reserved for tripper and hotel boats. The N part of the quay is clearly marked in blue lettering 'Yachts Only'.<br />
<br />
'''B Indented quay section'''<br/ ><br />
<br />
Immediately N of the ferry quay is an indented section of quay with laid moorings for 10 yachts in depths of 2.5 – 3.5 metres. Depths at the quay are variable in parts and yachts with deep rudder draft may prefer to go bows-to. The whole harbour is relatively shallow here and the mooring lines extend out from the quay at a very shallow angle, so care is needed when berthing to avoid tangling with the lines of moored yachts.<br />
<br />
'''C. Concrete catwalk'''<br/ ><br />
<br />
At the N end of the harbour on the outside of the breakwater of the inner harbour is a concrete catwalk that has six moorings in shallow depths of only 1.5 – 2.0 metres. These moorings are at 90 degrees to the moorings on the indented quay section and are only really suitable for smaller yachts and day boats going bows-to.<br />
<br />
'''D. Inside of ferry berth'''<br/ ><br />
<br />
There is room for 2-3 yachts only to moor alongside on the inside of the ferry jetty in depths of 4.5 – 5.0 metres. These positions are normally reserved for larger yachts. It can be noisy in this position when the ferry is in and running its generator.<br />
<br />

Simuni Marina is situated in the N arm of a narrow inlet on the W coast of the island of [[Pag]] in [[Croatia]], roughly equidistant from the N and S ends of the island. The marina offers a total of 221 berths for yachts up to 25 metres in depths up to 5.0 metres and 55 places ashore for overwintering. Shelter in the marina is excellent in all conditions, although strong SW winds send in a slight swell. <br />
<br />
==Communication==<br />
Call Simuni Marina on VHF channel 17. Alternatively, call or e-mail for advance reservations. <br />
<br />
==Navigation==<br />
The narrow entrance to the inlet lies at [[image:World_icon.png]] {{Coord|44|28|N|14|57.8|E|}} three miles E of the northern end of the island of O. Maun. The entrance is best approached on a course of 045 degrees, keeping to the centre of the channel. This is to avoid a shoal patch half a mile ESE of Rt. Simuni, the headland on the E side of the entrance, and inshore rocks on the W side of the channel just inside the entrance. After 500 metres the channel narrow and turns to port, where the marina berths lie. Be careful not to cut the corner, as there is a shoal patch off the W side just where you start the turn. Depths in the channel reduce from 15 metres at the entrance to between 2.0 and 5.0 metres at the quays.<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
Berthing assistance available on request. Yachts berth stern/bows-to along the quays on both sides of the inlet. Laid moorings at all berths. <br />

The harbour of Pag Town lies at the S end of a large, six mile long inlet entered from the Velebit Channel on the E side of the island of [[Pag]] in [[Croatia]]. The inlet provides reasonable shelter in most conditions, although with a fetch of six miles from the NW, winds from that direction can make Pag Town a very uncomfortable place to be. Largely constructed under the Venetians in the 15th century, the town’s prosperity derived from the extensive salt pans that surround the S end of the inlet. Much of the mediaeval centre of the town still survives, although today its income derives more from the production of lace and the famous Pag cheeses. Visiting yachts have the option of berthing on the town quay, either alongside or stern/bows to the section with laid moorings, or anchoring off the town in 4.0 - 5.0 metres.<br />

==Navigation==<br />
Approach is via the entrance to the inlet from the Velebit Channel at {{Coord legacy|44|28.2|N|15|04.5|E|}}, then after a mile on a NW course rounding the headland of Rt. Sv. Nikola and heading SSE. There can often be a tidal current of up to 3-4 in the channel here. The harbour of Pag Town lies just over two miles SSE of Rt. Sv. Nikola. On the final approach, note that there are shallows to the W of the town quay marked by buoys and then posts. <br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
None, [[Mali Losinj]] is the nearest port of entry. <br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
<br />
{{Image right|PagQuay.jpg |Pag quay can be choppy in NW winds }}<br />
<br />
Visiting yachts either berth alongside at the S end of the town quay, just S of the small basin (which is usually filled by local boats) or stern/bows-to the section N of the basin, where there are some laid moorings. Depths at the S end are 3.0 - 3.5 metres and on the N section 2.5 - 3.0 metres. Shelter here is reasonably good in most conditions, although the prevailing NW winds can make it a bit choppy in the afternoons. A strong NW wind would probably make it untenable here. There are no facilities on the town quay, but it is handy for provisions and restaurants.<br />

====Tourism====<br />
The area around Pag Town is quite bare and rocky and, apart from its proximity to the awe-inspiring range of the Velebit mountains, has little to recommend it in the landscape. Most of the tourism interest centres on the settlement of Pag Town itself, which largely dates from the 15th century and contains many old buildings. The town lies at the head of a large inlet facing the Velebit mountains and is surrounded by salt pans (the manufacture of the famous Pag cheese being the other major industry). The 16th century church of St Mary’s has an intriguing sculpture over its door, showing the Virgin surrounded by Pag women in local headdresses. The nearby Ducal Palace has a similarly ornate doorway. Pag Town also boasts a small lace museum, celebrating the other craft (in addition to cheesemaking) for which the island is celebrated.<br />

The harbour of Rab Town lies on the SW coast of Rab Island in an inlet protected from the S by the long island of O. Dolin and from the N by the headland of Rt. Frkanj. A historic and attractive town, with numerous ancient churches and mediaeval bell towers, it benefits from a beautiful setting on the more verdant, south-westerly coast of the island and is thus a popular tourist destination. Its large harbour is occupied by a 147-berth marina [[Marina Rab]] operated by the government owned ACI group. Off the west side of the town is the sheltered anchorage of Uv. Sv. Fumija, one of the loveliest along the Dalmatian Coast<br />

==Navigation==<br />
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 harbour 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 harbour some protection from S winds. The harbour is safe in most conditions, although strong S winds cause an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous surge. For this reason, the marina in the harbour opens only from 15 April to 1 November.<br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
Rab Town is not a port of entry. The nearest port of entry is [[Mali Losinj]] on the island of [[Losinj]].<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
<br />
Convenient berthing is available at the [[Marina Rab|ACI marina]] the the right as you enter the harbor. After 1730, yachts may also raft overnight to the excursion boats along the town quay - power and water are available and a fee is collected by the Port Authority. An alternative is the anchorage of Uv. Sv. Fumija just W of the town.<br />

==Anchorages==<br />
The inlet of U Sv. Fumija extends for nearly a mile NW between the headland of Rt Frkanj and the town of Rab. The inlet offers good shelter in all but strong SE winds. Anchor wherever the depths are convenient. Depths in the inlet range from 3.0 metres at the head to 15 metres off the town. Holding is excellent in sand and mud.<br />

====Tourism====<br />
Rab Town, like most of the Croatian island capitals, is an attractive mediaeval town, with narrow streets and red-tiled rooftops punctuated by soaring church bell towers, and is well worth visiting for its churches dating back to the 12th century and 15th century Dominis Palace. The views from the 13th century bell tower of the cathedral of St Mary the Great next to the ruined 7th century church of St John are superb. The Komrčar Park at the NW end of the old town is an excellent place for a picnic in the summer, with stone picnic tables under pines bent low by the winter bora.<br />

Yacht Club Marina is situated in the old harbour of the town of [[Mali Losinj]] on the island of [[Losinj]] in [[Croatia]], at the head of a three mile deep inlet. The marina offers a total of 110 berths for yachts up to 30 metres in depths of 6.0 - 7.0 metres. The marina is safe in all wind conditions, although strong N winds can cause an uncomfortable chop. The marina is in the heart of the old town and close to all facilities. It is consequently very busy during the season.<br />
<br />
==Communication==<br />
In theory, call Yacht Club Marina on VHF channel 17 (reception open 0700 - 2100 in season). Alternatively, telephone or e-mail for advance reservations. <br />
<br />
In May 2013, the marina was open for business but did not answer either the phone or the VHF. The marina staff simply keep a watch for approaching yachts and then wave to you.<br />
<br />
==Navigation==<br />
The approach to Mali Losinj is through a 500 metre wide channel between the island of O. Koludarc to the S and the headland of Rt. Torunza to the N. Both should be given a good clearance as there are shallows extending for some 50 metres off them. Yacht Club Marina lies at the head of the inlet, some three miles SE from the entrance. <br />
<br />
An alternative approach is from the E of Losinj island, through the canal itself. Depths in the canal are around 3.0 metres but the width is little over 6.0 metres and passage is therefore only suitable for monohulls of moderate draft. The bridge which carries the road over the canal opens morning and evening (currently 0900 and 1800) to allow passage by yachts. Shelter in the marina is good in most conditions, although in strong NW winds conditions can get a little choppy. <br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
Berthing assistance is available. As you arrive, marina staff will wave to you and help with lines. Visiting yachts berth stern/bows-to on a series of five pontoons. Depths around 6.0 - 7.0 metres. Laid moorings at all berths.<br />
<br />
==Facilities==<br />
* Toilets and showers are up an alley next to the Barracuda Restaurant. There is a sign for laundry, but you may have to give your washing to the dock man.<br />
<br />
==Repairs==<br />
None.<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
Poor.<br />
<br />
==Location==<br />
The marina is in the centre of the old town and close to all facilities.<br />
<br />
==Transportation==<br />
* Buses to Cres and Rijeka on mainland and, in season, Zagreb.<br />
* Seasonal ferries to [[Zadar]] and [[Pula]].<br />
<br />
==Price==<br />
Current daily berthing price for typical 15 metre yacht is HRK 505 (June 2013). For 13 metre yacht: HRK 385 (June 2015)<br />

The tiny port of Veli Losinj lies on the E coast of the island of [[Losinj]], two miles SE of the island’s capital, Mali Losinj and 14 miles S of the Osor canal. Like Mali Losinj, the village prospered in the 19th century days of sail and the harbour is ringed with the houses of former sea captains. The baroque church of St Anthony of Egypt on the harbour is one of the finest on the island. The harbour itself is quite cramped and is only suitable for a brief visit by yacht (more than 6-7 and it is practically full). Shelter is reasonable but the harbour becomes untenable with strong N winds.<br />

==Navigation==<br />
There are no dangers in the approach to Veli Losinj. However, an approach in fresh to strong N winds is inadvisable and in any case the harbour would probably be untenable in such conditions. Depths in the harbour entrance are around 6.0 metres and alongside the outer quay a little over 2.0 metres.<br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
The nearest port of entry is [[Mali Losinj]].<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
The inner harbour is crammed with local boats and is in any case shallow. Visiting yachts go alongside or in busy periods anchor moor bows or stern-to the E quay just outside the inner harbour (next to the conspicuous church of St Anthony). There is room here for 6-8 yachts, although the quay is also used by tripper boats during the season, reducing the available space. Depths alongside here are little over 2.0 metres, increasing to 6.0 - 7.0 metres further out. Shelter here is good from all winds except N/NE, when it becomes uncomfortable and, if strong, untenable.<br />

====Tourism====<br />
The village is extremely picturesque, with pastel-coloured houses clustered around narrow streets winding up the steep slopes around the harbour. The harbour is dominated by the impressive Baroque church of Sv. Antun (St Anthony), which contains several fine paintings of the Italian school. Dozens of sea captains were buried under the church floor, their other memorial being the numerous fine villas in the village. Behind the town is a 15th century tower built by the Venetians to protect the harbour from Dalmatian pirates.<br />

The bay and harbour of Sveti Martin (Saint Martin) lies on the E coast of the island of [[Losinj]], one mile NW of the harbour of [[Veli Losinj]] and 11 miles S of the Osor canal. It is a convenient alternative port of call in suitable conditions for a visit to the main island town of [[Mali Losinj]], just over half a mile NW across a narrow spit of land, when transiting the Osor canal. Like Veli Losinj and [[Rovenska]], the other ports along the E coast, the harbour becomes untenable with strong N winds.<br />

There are no dangers in the approach to Sveti Martin. However, take care in the approach from N to give the headland immediately N of the harbour a good clearance as there are rocks off it. Shelter in the harbour is good from all directions except NE and E, when it becomes uncomfortable and, if strong, untenable.<br />

{{Image right|SvetiMartinHarbour.JPG |The tiny inner harbour of Sveti Martin}}<br />
The inner harbour is shallow and usually filled with local boats. The best option for a visiting yacht is to berth stern or bows-to on the short breakwater that encloses the harbour on the N side. Depths here are 4.0 metres. You will probably need to use your anchor here, being careful to avoid the permanent moorings. Alternatively anchor off in the bay to the W of the harbour in 7.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and mud.<br />

The small port of Rovenska lies on the E coast of the island of [[Losinj]], immediately SE of the harbour of [[Veli Losinj]] and 15 miles S of the Osor canal. It is a useful port of call in settled conditions when the harbour of Veli Losinj is full. Like Veli Losinj, the harbour becomes untenable with strong N winds.<br />

There are no dangers in the approach to Rovenska, although note that the end of the long breakwater that encloses the harbour from E should be given a good clearance. Depths in the harbour range from 5.0 metres in the inner harbour to 10 metres in the middle of the harbour. Shelter is good in all conditions except strong N winds, when it becomes untenable. The breakwater gives partial protection in strong E winds, but the harbour still becomes uncomfortable.<br />
<br />

The nearest port of entry is [[Mali Losinj]].<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
<br />
The inner harbour is filled with local boats and it is unlikely a visiting yacht will find a berth there. The best position is on the outside of the short breakwater that protects the inner harbour from N, where there are several buoys laid with mooring lines tailed to the quay. Depths here are around 8.0 metres. Alternatively anchor and take a line ashore to the long E breakwater, where depths are 4.0 - 5.0 metres, or anchor in the middle of the harbour in 10-12 metres. The holding is good in sand and mud. Shelter is poor with anything N in the wind.<br />

The small harbour of Nerezine lies on the E coast of the island of [[Losinj]], two miles S of the entrance to the Osorski Kanal, the narrow canal at the town of Osor which separates Losinj from the island of Cres. A former fishing village, the town has a modest tourism industry and several attractive old buildings. The harbour provides moorings for moderate draft yachts and an inlet half a mile S contains a boatyard and small marina with additional berths. Shelter here is good in all conditions except strong NE winds, in which both the harbour and marina would be potentially dangerous. There are plans to develop the boatyard inlet into a fully-fledged marina, but work has yet to start.<br />

{{Image right|NerezineHarbour.jpg | Nerezine harbour }}<br />
<br />
There are four main options for yachts berthing in Nerezine:<br />
<br />
# '''Harbour breakwater''' Berth bows or stern-to the S breakwater, where there is room for 8-10 yachts in depths of around 3.0 metres, decreasing towards the root. Laid moorings. Water is available from a tap at the root.<br />
# '''Pontoons''' Berth bows or stern-to one of the two pontoons extending from the S side of the harbour. There is space for some 40-50 yachts here, although many of the moorings are occupied by local boats. Depths range from 3.0 metres at the end to less than 2.0 metres at the root. Laid moorings, water and electricity.<br />
# '''Inner harbour''' It is possible for a shallow draft yacht to lie alongside on the S side of the inner harbour, where there are depths of 2.0 - 2.5 metres, shoaling towards the head of the harbour. There are no facilities here.<br />
# '''Boatyard inlet''' The boatyard in the inlet half a mile S of the harbour can accommodate several yachts alongside in the entrance, where depths are around 3.0 metres. There are numerous moorings at the head of the inlet, but these are shallow and only suitable for small craft.<br />

Marina Losinj lies on the E side of the inlet of [[Mali Losinj]] on the island of [[Losinj]] in [[Croatia]]. The marina offers a total of 84 berths for yachts up to 18 metres in depths up to 8.0 metres. The marina is safe in all wind conditions, although strong N winds can cause an uncomfortable chop. The marina is just over a mile from the facilities of the town of Mali Losinj.<br />
<br />
==Communication==<br />
Call Marina Losinj on VHF channel 17. Alternatively, telephone or e-mail for advance reservations. <br />
<br />
==Navigation==<br />
The approach to Mali Losinj is through a 500 metre wide channel between the island of O. Koludarc to the S and the headland of Rt. Torunza to the N. Both should be given a good clearance as there are shallows extending for some 50 metres off them. Marina Losinj lies along the E shoreline of the inlet, around two miles from the NW entrance to Mali Losinj and immediately N of the Prolaz Privlaka, a narrow canal dug through the narrow spit of land that encloses the E side of the inlet.<br />
<br />
An alternative approach is from the E of Losinj island, through the canal itself. Depths in the canal are around 3.0 metres but the width is little over 6.0 metres and passage is therefore only suitable for monohulls of moderate draft. The bridge which carries the road over the canal opens morning and evening (currently 0900 and 1800) to allow passage by yachts. Shelter in Marina Losinj is good in most conditions, although in strong NW winds conditions can get a little choppy.<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
Berthing assistance available on request. Visiting yachts berth stern/bows-to along the quay or the concrete catwalks. Depths around 8.0 metres. Laid moorings at all berths.<br />
{{Image right|MarinaLosinjPlan.jpg |Plan of Marina Losinj }}<br />
<br />
==Facilities==<br />
* Bar<br />
* Restaurant<br />
* Minimarket<br />
<br />
==Repairs==<br />
Yard with 50T travel lift. Most service, maintenance and repairs possible.<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
Good (video surveillance).<br />
<br />
==Location==<br />
The marina is just over a mile from the old town and harbour of Mali Losinj. <br />
<br />
==Transportation==<br />
* Buses to Cres and Rijeka on mainland and, in season, Zagreb.<br />
* Seasonal ferries to Zadar and Pula.<br />
<br />
==Price==<br />
Current daily berthing price for typical 13 metre yacht (2013): Euros 67 in high season (July & August); Euros 52 in low season. <br />

The harbour of Mali Losinj lies on the W coast of the island of [[Losinj]], at the head of a three mile long natural inlet. Entered from its NW end, the inlet provides good protection in winds from any direction, although with a three mile fetch the harbour at its head can be choppy in strong NW winds. The town itself is most attractive, its waterfront lined with the imposing former residences of 19th century sea captains. It was a popular resort during the days of the Austro-Hungarian empire and the bay of Cikat a mile W of the town is overrun with smart villas and exclusive hotels. Yachts are well catered for, with no less than three small marinas in the inlet plus the option in settled weather of the E town quay or the W harbourmaster's quay. No anchoring is permitted in the inlet, although the bay of U. Artaturi two miles NW offers good shelter in all but S winds.<br />

An alternative approach is through a narrow canal, the Prolaz Privlaka, dug through the spit of land that encloses the E side of the inlet a mile NNW of the harbour. Depth in the canal is approx. 2.4 metres with the width is 8 metres the passage is therefore only suitable for monohulls of moderate draft. <br />

In case of strong wind bridge may be closed due to dangerous current and waves.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Shelter in Mali Losinj is good in most conditions, although in strong NW winds the harbour at the head of the inlet gets quite choppy. Conditions are unlikely however to be dangerous unless a yacht is alongside the quay on the E side of the harbour.<br />

Mali Losinj is a port of entry. The customs office is immediately S of the canal of Provaz Privlaki. The harbourmaster's office is on the W side of the harbour, 100 metres N of the Yacht Club marina pontoons.<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
There are five main options for yachts berthing in Mali Losinj, working from N to S: <br/ ><br />
<br />
'''Marina Losinj'''<br/ > lies on the NE side of the inlet, a mile NW of the town and just N of the canal of Provaz Privlaki. It offers 84 berths for yachts up to 18 metres and maximum draft of 8.0 metres. Click on the link [[Marina Losinj]] for separate Wiki page.<br />
<br />
'''Mali Losinj Marina'''<br/ > lies on the NE side of the inlet, just under a mile NW of the town and just S of the canal of Provaz Privlaki. It offers 80 berths for yachts up to 18 metres and maximum draft of 8.0 metres. Click on the link [[Mali Losinj Marina]] for separate Wiki page.<br />
<br />
'''Yacht Club Marina'''<br/ > lies inside the old harbour at the head of the inlet and consists of five pontoons with 110 berths for yachts of up to 30 metres and maximum draft of 8.0 metres. Click on the link [[Yacht Club Marina]] for separate Wiki page.<br />
<br />
'''W Quay'''<br/ ><br />
There is a newly refurbished length of quay just outside the harbourmaster's office immediately N of the pontoons of Yacht Club Marina. Yachts can lie alongside here in depths of 5.0 – 6.0 metres while completing formalities in the harbourmaster's office (or even overnight at less busy periods). Shelter here is adequate in settled weather, but subject to swell from passing vessels and probably untenable in a ''bora''.<br />
<br />
'''E Quay'''<br/ ><br />
The town quay on the E side of the harbour, which used to be too low for use by yachts, has been raised by around a metre and mooring rings have been installed at the N end of it, just S of the stub jetty. There is room here for 3-4 yachts to lie alongside in depths of 3.0 - 4.0 metres with reasonable shelter from most directions, albeit with regular wash from the tripper boats<br />

====Tourism====<br />
Mali Losinj is a typical Croatian island town, with narrow mediaeval streets and red-tiled rooftops punctuated by soaring church bell towers. Its quays are mostly lined with the imposing former mansions of 19th century sea captains. The 17th century Church of the Nativity 100 metres SE of the harbour is worth a visit for the impressive artworks contained within. A walk along the sea promenade to St Martin’s Bay half a mile E of the harbour brings you to the Church of St. Martin, with a fine cemetery containing tombs of Italian nobility and local sea captains. The walk along the E side of Losinj island continues to [[Veli Losinj]], the original island settlement, which is dominated by the impressive Baroque church of St. Antun on the harbour. Dozens of sea captains lie buried under the church floor here, their other memorial being the numerous fine villas ringing the harbour. Another half hour’s walk SE around the peninsula is the neighbouring and even smaller harbour of Rovenska. A rather longer walk or cycle ride in the other direction from the harbour takes you to the bay of Čikat along a narrow sea promenade fringed with pine trees. Čikat is a relatively upmarket resort, with several villas formerly owned by Austrian and Italian aristocrats, although the route there is lined with ugly campsites and camper van parks. <br />
<br />
====Grocery & Supply Stores====<br />
* Several supermarkets and other provisions shops in the town.<br />
* Several butchers and bakeries.<br />

Mali Losinj Marina lies on the E side of the inlet of [[Mali Losinj]] on the island of [[Losinj]] in [[Croatia]], immediately S of the confusingly similarly named marina of [[Marina Losinj]] on the other side of the canal. The marina offers a total of 80 berths for yachts up to 18 metres in depths up to 7.0 - 8.0 metres. It also has hard standing for over 100 yachts and covered storage. The marina is safe in all wind conditions, although strong N winds can cause an uncomfortable chop. The marina is just under a mile from the facilities of the town of Mali Losinj.<br />
<br />
==Communication==<br />
Call Mali Losinj Marina on VHF channel 17. Alternatively, telephone or e-mail for advance reservations. <br />
<br />
==Navigation==<br />
The approach to Mali Losinj is through a 500 metre wide channel between the island of O. Koludarc to the S and the headland of Rt. Torunza to the N. Both should be given a good clearance as there are shallows extending for some 50 metres off them. Mali Losinj Marina lies along the N shoreline of the inlet, around two miles from the NW entrance to Mali Losinj and immediately S of the Prolaz Privlaka, a narrow canal dug through the narrow spit of land that encloses the E side of the inlet.<br />
<br />
An alternative approach is from the E of Losinj island, through the canal itself. Depths in the canal are around 3.0 metres but the width is little over 6.0 metres and passage is therefore only suitable for monohulls of moderate draft. The bridge which carries the road over the canal opens morning and evening (currently 0900 and 1800) to allow passage by yachts. Shelter in Mali Losinj Marina is good in most conditions, although in strong NW winds conditions can get a little choppy. <br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
assistance available on request. Visiting yachts berth stern/bows-to along the quay or on a T-shaped concrete catwalk. Depths around 7.0 - 8.0 metres. Laid moorings at all berths.<br />
<br />
==Facilities==<br />
* Bar<br />
* Restaurant<br />
* Minimarket<br />
* Chandlery<br />
<br />
==Repairs==<br />
Yard with 50T travel lift. Hard standing for 110 yachts. Indoor storage of 1500 square metres. Most service, maintenance and repairs possible.<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
Good.<br />
<br />
==Location==<br />
The marina is just under a mile from the old town and harbour of Mali Losinj. <br />
<br />
==Transportation==<br />
* Buses to Cres and Rijeka on mainland and, in season, Zagreb.<br />
* Seasonal ferries to Zadar and Pula.<br />
<br />
==Price==<br />
Current daily berthing price for typical 13 metre yacht (2013): Euros 57 in high season (July & August); Euros 52 in low season.<br />

}} <br />
The small harbour of Valun lies on the W side of the gulf of the same name, which is situated on the NW coast of the island of [[Cres]] in [[Croatia]]. The E coast of the Istra peninsula on the mainland is only 10 miles to the W and the harbour and marina of [[Cres Town]] four miles NNE. The hamlet and its harbour lie at the foot of steep cliffs and, apart from a few restaurants along the waterfront, is largely unspoilt. The quay has laid moorings for around a dozen yachts. Shelter is good with S and W winds but the quay is completely open N and E.<br />

==Navigation==<br />
[[Valun]] lies at the SW corner of the Gulf of Valun, five miles SSE of the headland of Rt. Pernat. There are no dangers in the approach, although with moderate to strong winds from NW round to E an unpleasant swell develops in the gulf and the quay here is nearly untenable. The quay is protected by a short breakwater. <br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
[[Valun]] is not a port of entry. The nearest port of entry is [[Mali Losinj]] on the island of [[Losinj]].<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
===Ports===<br />
Immediately S of the short breakwater is a quay with depths of 2.0 - 3.0 metres. There are laid moorings here for around a dozen yachts. There are no facilities on the quay. Shelter here is poor in any winds from NW round to E and the berths are probably untenable in strong winds from these directions. In such conditions, Cres Town is a safer option.<br />

Around the harbour are some good cafes and restaurants where one can sit and watch the infrequent comings and goings on the town quay. The small parish church of Valun displays an 11th tombstone inscribed in Glagolitic as well as Latin, one of the earliest examples in Croatia. On either side of the hamlet are some idyllic beaches, fringed with pines.<br />

}} <br />
The village of Osor lies on the SW coast of the island of [[Cres]] in [[Croatia]], on the E side of a narrow channel separating Cres from the island of [[Losinj]] immediately W. Originally joined to Losinj, the channel was dug by the Romans, who also constructed the settlement of Osor nearby. The settlement fell into disuse with the increasing size of cargo vessels plying the trade routes along the coast and Osor remained something of a ghost village until the advent of tourism. The channel is spanned by a swing bridge and shallow draft yachts can pass through here, although depths on the S side of the channel shoal in parts to as little as 2.5 metres.<br />

There are no dangers in the approach from N. In the approach from W, a yacht should keep at least half a mile off the headland of Rt. Osor to avoid rocky shallows marked with a N cardinal mark. In the approach from S, the depths shoal progressively until entering the narrow channel up to Osor, which is marked by a series of beacons on the W side. <br />
<br />
Depths in the channel are variable, with least depths of about 3.5 meters. Currents can be strong in the channel from either direction, depending on the tides, and have been reported to reach 6.0 knots at times. At Osor, the channel is 6.0 metres wide and has a depth of 2.5 metres. A swing bridge crosses the channel. <br />

A yacht can moor alongside the quay on the N side of the bridge, where there are depths of 3.0 - 3.5 metres, for a visit to the town. The berth here is only suitable in settled weather, however, as there is a dangerous swell with any strong winds from N. On the S side of the bridge there is a pontoon in depths of 2.0 - 2.5 metres where it may be possible for a shallow draft visiting yacht to moor temporarily stern/bows-to among the local boats. There are laid moorings on the pontoon. Shelter here is good in the prevailing winds but poor with southerlies.<br />

The village of Osor has been beautifully restored over the years and resembles nothing less than an open air museum today. It is a delight to explore on foot, its main square lined with 15th and 16th century stone houses and decorated with sculptures by several of Croatia’s leading artists. Parts of the original Roman walls still survive and the former town hall, with a beautiful Venetian loggia, is now a museum. The village also contains a restored bishop’s palace and impressive cathedral with a Venetian bell tower. A few hundred metres N along the coast is Bijar cove, a small bay with a ruined Franciscan monastery with Glagolitic inscriptions on its bell tower.<br />
<br />
====Grocery & Supply Stores====<br />

Marina Cres lies at the S end of the inlet of [[Cres Town]], the capital of the island of [[Cres]] in [[Croatia]]. Operated by the government-owned ACI group, the marina offers 473 berths for yachts up to 25 metres in depths up to 5.0 metres. Shelter in the marina is excellent in all conditions.<br />
<br />
==Communication==<br />
Call Marina Cres on VHF channel 17. Alternatively, call or e-mail for advance reservations. <br />
<br />
==Navigation==<br />
There are no dangers in the approach to Marina Cres. The narrow, 500 metre wide inlet leading to [[Cres Town]] and the marina is entered from NW and opens out into a wide bay at the N end of which the town sits. The sides of the inlet are shallow, with rocky obstructions, especially on the N side, and a yacht should enter down the centre of the channel. The town and its small, shallow harbour lie just under a mile from the entrance on the NE side. The inlet narrows again once past the harbour and continues SSE to the pontoons of Marina Cres. The marina is entered via a narrow channel between the long breakwater that protects it from N and a small islet to the W. The channel is marked by lit port and starboard markers.<br />

The harbour of Cres Town lies at the head of a narrow inlet on the E side of the large Gulf of Valun on the NW coast of the island of [[Cres]] in [[Croatia]]. The E coast of the Istra peninsula on the mainland is only 12 miles to the W. Like most of the island capitals, Cres Town owes its architectural legacy and therefore much of its charm to the Venetians, who ruled in this area for nearly four centuries from the 15th almost to the end of the 18th century. Today the town is popular with Italian and Austrian tourists as well as yachtsmen from all nations, attracted by the well sheltered harbour and 473 berth marina. <br />

There are no dangers in the approach to Cres Town. The narrow, 500 metre wide inlet leading to the town is entered from NW and opens out into a wide bay at the N end of which the town sits. The sides of the inlet are shallow, with rocky obstructions, especially on the N side, and a yacht should enter down the centre of the channel. The town and its small, shallow harbour lie just under a mile from the entrance on the NE side. The inlet narrows again after the harbour of Cres Town and continues SSE to the pontoons of [[Marina Cres]].<br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
Cres Town is not a port of entry. The nearest port of entry is [[Mali Losinj]] on the island of [Losinj]].<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
From N to S the options in Cres Town are as follows: <br />
<br />
====Harbour breakwater====<br />
{{Image right|CresBreakwater.jpg |Harbour breakwater }}<br />
<br />
Moderate draft yachts can moor on the outside of the long western breakwater of the harbour. Depths inside are too shallow for most yachts and there is in any case rarely any space. There are laid moorings for around 10 yachts along the breakwater. Depths here are around 3.0 metres. Water and electricity is available along the breakwater. Shelter here is good in most conditions, although an uncomfortable swell sets into the bay with anything W in the wind. Strong southerlies also make it uncomfortable here in view of the half mile fetch across the bay. <br />
<br />
====Harbour jetty====<br />
{{Image right|CresJetty.jpg |Harbour jetty }}<br />
<br />
Alternatively, a yacht can lie alongside the long jetty SE of the harbour entrance, clear of the ferry berth, if there is space. Depths here are 3.0 - 4.0 metres and water and electricity is available. The jetty is heavily used by hotel and day-tripper boats, so during the season you will more than likely be asked to move. Shelter here is better than on the breakwater and only strong NW winds would create a problem. <br />
<br />
====Boatyard====<br />
{{Image right|CresBoatyard.jpg |Boatyard }}<br />
<br />
The [http://www.brodogradiliste-cres.hr/ boatyard] (brodogradilište) of Cres immediately E of the jetty has around 20 berths, complete with laid moorings, water and electricity, toilets and showers, which can be used by visiting yachts if space is available. Depths are 4.0 - 5.0 metres. Shelter is good from all directions except W. Go to the quay just behind the harbour jetty. <br />
<br />
====ACI Marina Cres====<br />
The ACI-owned [[Marina Cres]] has 437 berths for yachts up to 25 metres and maximum draft of 5.0 metres. Shelter here is excellent and it is the best (if most expensive) place to be if bad weather is forecast. Click on the link below for full details. <br />
<br />
=== Marinas & Yacht Clubs ===<br />
* [[Marina Cres]]<br />
<br />
==Anchorages==<br />
It is possible to anchor in the bay off the town, just E of the small headland of Rt. Melin, where shelter is good from all directions except NW.<br />
<br />
{{Warning}} There is a reef extending 100 metres due S from Rt. Melin. Depths in the anchorage are 4.0 - 6.0 metres and the holding is good in mud and sand.<br />
<br />

====Marine Stores====<br />
<br />
====Repairs/Yards====<br />
* Boatyard of [http://www.brodogradiliste-cres.hr/ Brodogradilište Cres] near the town.<br />
* ACI Marina Cres also has a small boatyard. ''See [Marina Cres|marina] entry for details''.<br />
<br />
====Fuel, Water, & Electricity====<br />
Fuel station at the root of the long jetty. Water and electricity on the breakwater, jetty and in the marinas.<br />

{{Image right|BeliVillage.jpg |The village of Beli }}<br />
====Tourism====<br />
Cres Town is very picturesque and Italianate, with tall, pastel-coloured houses clustered round a small outer and tiny inner harbour. The narrow, tortuous lanes of the old town are full of arches and winding, dead end lanes. Like many similar towns in Croatia, the residents make up for their lack of gardens with balconies or front steps that are a riot of foliage. With transport (and if not planning a visit by yacht), the charming village of [[Valun]] four miles SW of Cres Town is worth a visit. It lies at the foot of steep cliffs and the very steep access road leads down to a small quay with around a dozen laid moorings and four or five restaurants round the harbour. There are also occasional buses to Beli, a hilltop settlement at the NE end of the island, where there is a famous griffon vulture sanctuary.<br />
<br />
====Grocery & Supply Stores====<br />
* Small supermarkets and good provisions shops in the town.<br />
* A bigger 'Konzum' supermarket is 700m SE of the boatyard (address: Put Brajdi 3-5, Cres). Open: 07:00-21:00 (Sun 07:00-14:00).<br />
<br />
====Eateries====<br />
* Several cafes and restaurants around the harbour and in Cres Town.<br />
* The ''Riva Restaurant'' next to the inner harbour does a good mixed grill. --[[User:Atheneoflymington|Athene of Lymington]] 15:53, 16 August 2011 (BST)<br />

Vrbnik is a charming mediaeval village with a small harbour, situated on the E coast of the island of Krk in Croatia, six miles S of the mainland harbour and town of Crikvenica. The harbour is relatively shallow, with maximum depths of little more than 3.0 metres, and has a narrow entrance open to the NE. With care, it is an attractive port of call for shallower draft yachts in settled weather. Entry should not be attempted, however, in strong winds with anything N or E in them. The village itself is a center of wine production and the local white wine, ''zlahtina'', is renowned throughout Croatia.<br />

==Navigation==<br />
A conspicuous church belfry in the village of Vrbnik on the hill above the harbour is a good landmark from seaward. Closer in, the curved breakwater that protects the harbour is easily identified. There are no dangers in the approach, although the entrance is narrow and should not be attempted in onshore winds. Depths in the entrance are only 3.5 - 4.0 metres, shallowing to under 2.0 metres at the head of the harbour. <br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
[[Vrbnik]] is not a port of entry. The nearest port of entry is [[Rijeka]].<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
There is a short pier and a long pontoon extending from the E side of the harbour, but these are normally filled with local craft. In any event, depths are under 2.0 metres in this part of the harbour. The best berth for a visiting yacht is bows or stern-to using an anchor (or, at quiet times, alongside) on the outer, curved breakwater at the entrance to the harbour. Depths here are 3.0 - 3.5 metres at the outer end, shelving to under 2.0 metres towards the root. The breakwater is equipped with mooring bollards along its length, although they are set back from the edge of the quay. Shelter here is good from most directions, although strong NE to E winds would probably make it untenable.<br />

{{Image right|VrbnikTown.jpg |The mediaeval village of Vrbnik }}<br />
Vrbnik is a delightful mediaeval village, set high above the sea and formerly ringed with defensive walls. It was once an important centre of the Glagolitic script (an ancient Slavic alphabet originating in the 9th century) and the parish church still holds a collection of ancient manuscripts. Apart from the charm of the village’s mediaeval streets, its other claim to fame is its delicious locally produced white wine, zlahtina.<br />

The village and small harbour of Silo is situated on the NE coast of the island of Krk in Croatia, two miles SE of the landlocked inlet of Zaton Soline and and a similar distance SW of the mainland town of Crikvenica. The harbour is at the head of a wide bay, Uvala Stipanja, which is protected on its E side by a long, narrow spit. There is a tiny and shallow marina at the root of the spit, which is invariably filled to capacity with local motor boats, and a small harbour E of the village itself which offers some protection from northerly winds behind a short breakwater.<br />

The best berth for a visiting yacht (if there is space) is alongside on the S side of the breakwater on the W side of the bay, close to the village of Silo itself. Depths at the breakwater are between 2.5 metres at the root and 4.0 metres at the end. There is underwater rock ballasting in parts. Shelter here is good from most directions, although strong N to NW winds would probably make it untenable.<br />

The large, commercial harbour of Omisalj is situated on the NW coast of the island of Krk in Croatia, around two miles S of the bridge connecting the island to the mainland and the city of [[Rijeka]]. The harbour lies at the end of a two-mile long inlet, the W side of which is lined with the conspicuous tanks of a large oil refinery. The yacht harbour and anchorage lies at the southern extremity of the inlet and offer good shelter in all but strong NW winds. The airport of Rijeka is close by.<br />

Berthing<br />
The best berth for a visiting yacht (if there is space) is alongside the short pier at the NW end of the yacht harbour. Depths here are relatively shallow, however, around 2.5 - 3.0 metres only and care is needed. Alternatively, a berth may be available on one of the two pontoons or the fore-and-aft mooring buoys of the yacht harbour. Depths here are 1.5 - 3.0 metres, the deeper water being at the end of the pontoons.<br />
Beware of the shallow rocky spit at the SW corner of the harbour. Shelter in the harbour is excellent in all conditions. <br />
<br />
===Marinas & Yacht Clubs===<br />
None.<br />
<br />
==Anchorages==<br />
The top of the inlet is a good anchorage in all but NW winds. Anchor in 5.0 - 8.0 metres 50 metres off the head of the inlet, which is buoyed off as a swimming area. The holding is excellent in sand and mud.<br />

The harbour of Njivice is situated on the NW coast of the island of Krk in Croatia, around 21 miles by sea N of the island’s main harbour of [[Krk Town]]. A former fishing village, the town has a small and relatively shallow harbour with a pier alongside which a yacht can usually find space. The harbour is exposed to winds from W and NW and would not be safe in strong winds from that direction.<br />

{{Image right|Njivice.jpg |Njivice harbour from NE }}<br />
The best berth for a visiting yacht (if there is space) is alongside the long commercial pier on the W side of the harbour. Depths here are from 2.5 metres towards the root to around 3.5 metres at the end. Most of the rest of the harbour, which is shallow, is occupied by small leisure and fishing craft. Shelter in the harbour is good in winds from S and E but poor in northerlies. A strong N or NW wind would probably render it untenable.<br />
<br />
==Marinas & Yacht Clubs==<br />
None.<br />
<br />
==Anchorages==<br />
It may be possible to drop anchor temporarily in the harbour approaches if going ashore for supplies, but Njivice does not offer a suitable overnight anchorage unless the weather is very settled. A better anchorage (but only in settled weather) is the bay about half a mile NE of the harbour, where depths are around 10 metres and the holding is good in mud.<br />

The harbour of Malinska (or, to give it its full name Malinska-Dubasnica) is situated on the NW coast of the island of Krk in Croatia, around 18 miles by sea NW of the island’s main harbour of [[Krk Town]]. The town has a small commercial harbour with a pier and quays where a yacht can usually find space and a long pontoon owned by a leisure development where a yacht may be able to moor. Malinksa lies at the E side of a large bay open to NW and W and would not be a suitable port of call in strong winds from this direction.<br />

==Navigation==<br />
The town is easily identified in the approach from N the buildings of the town and the long, sandy spit that fronts a long breakwater providing the harbour with some protection from N. A red buoy marks the end of the breakwater. In the approach from W, be sure not to confuse Malinska harbour with the small harbour a mile SW, which is not suitable for a yacht. Once round the breakwater, if heading for the pier and quay at the SW end of the harbour, avoid the shallow patch 50 metres off the quay which is marked with a black pillar mark.<br />
==Entrance==<br />
[[Malinska]] is not a port of entry. The nearest port of entry is [[Mali Losinj]] on the island of [Losinj]].<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
{{Image right|MalinskaHarbour.jpg |Malinska harbour from W }}<br />
The best berth for a visiting yacht (if there is space) is alongside either of the two short piers at the NE and SW sides of the harbour. Depths here are unknown, but large commercial vessels moor here so are likely in excess of 8.0 metres. Alternatively, use your anchor to go bows or stern-to the quay at the SW end of the harbour. There is also a long pontoon running parallel with the shore at the N end of the harbour, which is owned by a hotel and leisure development, and it may be possible to negotiate a berth there. <br />
<br />

It may be possible to drop anchor temporarily off the long pontoon if going ashore for supplies, but Malinska does not offer a suitable overnight anchorage unless the weather is very settled.<br />

The harbour of Krk Town lies on the south coast of Krk Island three miles NE of the small islet of Plavnik and five miles NE of the large island of [[Cres]]. A picturesque mediaeval walled town, Krk Town has grown into a busy tourist resort, fuelled in large measure by the convenience of the island’s international airport only 20 minutes away at the north end of the island. Its large harbour, which gets very crowded during the summer, offers relatively shallow berths along its N quay and also visitors’ mooring buoys in the bay immediately E of the harbour. If full, the large marina and anchorage of [[Marina Punat]] two miles further E offers the nearest all-round shelter.<br />

==Navigation==<br />
The town is easily identified from seaward by the prominent cathedral tower see photo). There are no hazards in the approach to the harbour, which is protected by a long breakwater oriented E-W. The harbour is entered from ENE. Note that the depths shoal to 5.0 - 6.0 metres at the entrance and entry is difficult in strong southerly winds. The harbour would probably become untenable in a southerly gale, when Punat is a safer option.<br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
[[Cres Town]] is not a port of entry. The nearest port of entry is [[Mali Losinj]] on the island of [[Losinj]].<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
There are three berthing options in Krk Town as follows:<br />
<br />
====North Quay====<br />
Moderate draft yachts (max. 2.5 - 3.0 metres) can moor along the quay on the N side of the harbour, between the two short outer and inner piers. During the season, buoys are placed along the quay and visiting yachts moor to them taking lines back to the quay. Note that depths at the quay are as little as 1.0 metre in parts, although 3.0 - 4.0 metres further out. The buoys may not be in place early or late in the season.<br />
<br />
====South Quay====<br />
A pontoon has been installed parallel to the S breakwater, with pick-up buoys for yachts to moor bows or stern-to the pontoon. The pontoon is usually filled with local yachts but there may be space for a visiting yacht here. Depths are 4.0 - 5.0 metres.<br />
<br />
====East Bay====<br />
During the season, two lines of swinging mooring buoys are laid in the bay immediately E of the harbour in depths of around 5.0 metres. <br />
<br />
{{Note}} in very strong southerlies most of these berths would be very uncomfortable if not untenable.<br />
<br />
===Marinas & Yacht Clubs===<br />
* [[Marina Punat]]<br />
<br />
==Anchorages==<br />
It may be possible to anchor in the bay east of the town in 4.0 - 5.0 metres (especially out of season if the mooring buoys are not in place). However, during the season you are likely to be charged the same price as if you pick up a mooring buoy, so there is little to be gained. A better anchorage is in the inlet of Punat two mile further east.<br />
<br />
==Yacht Repairs and Services==<br />
====Marine Stores====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
====Repairs/Yards====<br />
None. Go to [[Marina Punat]].<br />
<br />
====Fuel, Water, & Electricity====<br />
Fuel station in the NW corner of the harbour (although depths are barely 2.0 metres). Water from a tap on the N quay or at the fuel berth. No electricity.<br />
<br />
==Things to do Ashore==<br />
====Tourism====<br />
Krk Town is a picturesque mediaeval town, with narrow streets winding around its old quarter, of which the highlight is the cathedral, built between the 13th and 16th centuries, and the Venetian castle five minutes’ walk to the east. The castle is the venue for concerts and theatrical events during the Krk Festival in July and August. From Krk Town it is a long six-mile hike or shorter bus ride NE to the delightful mediaeval village of Vrbnik, famous for its ''zlahtina'' white wine (try it at the Konoba Nada with smoked ham and cheese). Barely two miles E of Krk Town is the large inlet of Punat with the 16th century Franciscan monastery of Kosljun on an island in the centre. <br />

Baska is a popular holiday resort nestling in a bay between two mountain ranges at the SE end of the island of the island of Krk in Croatia. Originally a Roman settlement, the town was rebuilt closer to the sea in the 16th century and much of this later settlement remains today, although considerably altered. The town is very crowded with holidaymakers during the season and its harbour gets very busy. A visiting yacht will need to squeeze in wherever it can during the peak summer months, probably using its anchor, on the E breakwater. Baska is not a good place to make for if there is anything S in the forecast and would be untenable in a southerly gale.<br />

==Navigation==<br />
The town of Baska is easily identified at the head of the bay, ringed by high mountain ranges. Closer in, the long E breakwater will be clearly seen (usually with the masts of yachts clustered along it). Entry to the harbour is between this breakwater and a shorter pier to the W which is used by tripper and hotel boats. Depths in the entrance are around 6.0 - 8.0 metres.<br />
<br />
==Entrance==<br />
Baska is not a port of entry. The nearest port of entry is [[Rijeka]].<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
Baska harbour is normally crammed with tripper boats and leisure craft - especially during peak season - but there may be space for a visiting yacht to squeeze in towards the outer end of the E breakwater. Depths here are 3.0 - 4.0 metres and you will have to use your anchor to go bows or stern-to. Shelter here is good from most directions, although Baska is uncomfortable in S winds and a southerly gale would probably make the harbour untenable.<br />
<br />
===Marinas & Yacht Clubs===<br />
None.<br />
<br />
==Anchorages==<br />
In settled weather, it is possible to anchor W of the harbour clear of the swimming areas. The holding here is moderate to good in sand.<br />

The small island of Vir Island in [[Croatia]] lies just off the SW end of the larger island [[Pag]], separated from it by a channel less than a mile wide, the Kanal Nove Povljane. At its SE end the island is joined to the mainland by a road bridge, the channel beneath which is navigable only by small vessels. The island has just one village on the S coast, Vir Town, with a population of around 1500, and an even smaller settlement on its N coast, Lozice. Although a small island, it is a popular destination for tourists from the mainland during the summer. Vir is less visited by yachtsmen than its neighbouring islands, however, in view of its limited facilities, which consist of an anchorage in the wide bay off Vir Town open to S winds and another off Lozice open N.<br />

The settlement of Vir Town sprawls along most of the N shore of the bay. If approaching from W, note that there is an unmarked shoal area around 500 metres NE of the headland at the W end of the bay. Once into the bay, anchor wherever convenient off the town in 6.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed. Shelter is good here in the prevailing NW winds, but the bay is completely open S and SE and untenable in strong winds from this directions. In the event of fresh to strong easterlies, the cove at the NE end of the bay {{mark |44|17.4|N|15|07.02|E| type= anchorage |name= Uvala Prezida| zoom= 15}} offers better shelter, with lines ashore if necessary. There are several jetties along the shore in front of the town. Normally they are occupied by small local craft and fishing boats, but it may be possible for a moderate draft yacht to lie alongside or bows/stern-to using the anchor at one of these if there is room. }}<br />

Molat Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], two miles NE of the island of [[Dugi Otok]] and 17 miles NW of the port of [[Zadar]]. Shaped rather like an arrowhead, the island has an area of just under 23 square kilometers, supporting just three small settlements, Molat, Zapuntel and Brgulje, all of which were established some distance inland for protection from pirates. In consequence, the shoreline of the island supports only small harbours or jetties with little habitation around them. Inhabitants of Molat support themselves by agriculture, sheep rearing, fishing and, increasingly, tourism, including yachting tourism. There are just two (more or less) organized berthing facilities: the quay and laid moorings of Uvala Lucina, the small harbour which serves the settlement of Molat Town, and the mooring buoys of Uvala Vrulje, which is the sea outlet of the village of Brgulje.<br />

==Entrance==<br />
[[Mali Losinj]] is the nearest port of entry. In summer only, Bozava on [[Dugi Otok]] is also a port of entry.<br />
<br />
==Berthing==<br />
There are several berthing options on Molat Island. The deep inlet of Brguljski Zaljev which runs nearly three miles into the S side of the island contains the small harbour of [[#U. Lucina|Uvala Lucina]]; the even tinier harbour and mooring buoy field of Brguljeki and two sheltered anchorages at Uvala Podgarbe and Uvala Luka. On the N-facing coast of the island are two further anchorages, the bay of Luka Jazi half a mile N of Molat Town and the inlet of Uvala Zapuntel, off the hamlet of the same name in the channel between Molat and Ist islands, which has mooring buoys.

| text= The small harbour of U. Lucina is the main harbour of the island and is situated on the E side of the inlet of Brguljski Zaljev at the head of a natural cleft. It offers around 20 berths for yachts, most with laid moorings. Shelter is excellent in all but strong SW winds. See separate Wiki page [[Uvala Lucina]] for details. }}<br />

| image= BrguljeHarbour.jpg | imagetext= Brgulje has a tiny and shallow harbour | imagewidth=<br />
| text= {{Image right|BrguljeAnchorage.jpg |Yacht moorings at Brgulje }}<br />
Brgulje lies around two miles NW of Molat Town and half a mile inland from a tiny harbour and mooring buoy field sheltered from W by the small island of Bruglje Otok. The harbour is too shallow for yachts, but the municipality has laid 17 mooring lines on the outside of the N breakwater for visiting yachts. Depths here are barely 2.0 metres, so it is best to go bows-to if using these. There is water and electricity on the breakwater and toilets and showers are available. Alternatively, pick up one of the 92 mooring buoys that have been installed between the harbour and the island of Brgulje Otok in depths of 4.0 - 6.0 metres. There no facilities on the buoys although refuse is collected. Charges on the mooring lines (November 2012) are Euros 2.2 per metre including water, electricity, toilets and showers and on the buoys Euros 1.91 per metre including refuse collection. Shelter here is good in all but S winds. }}<br />

| image= ZapuntelAerial.jpg | imagetext= U. Zapuntel from NW | imagewidth=<br />
| text= {{Image right|ZapuntelHarbour.jpg |Alongside in Zapuntel harbour}}<br />
The bay of U. Zapuntel lies off the hamlet of the same name, in the Prolaz Zapuntel, the channel between Molat and Ist islands. The harbour at the head of the bay is protected by a dogleg breakwater with depths alongside of 3.0 - 4.0 metres, where it is possible for 2-3 yachts to lies alongside on the E side if there is space. The W side is used by ferries. Alternatively, pick up one of the mooring buoys laid in the bay in 7.0 - 8.0 metres. A charge is made. Finally, it is possible to anchor clear of the mooring buoys in 6.0 - 8.0 metres if desired (although it is possible you may still be charged). Shelter in the bay is excellent in all conditions, although a strong NE wind sends in an uncomfortable swell.}}<br />

| image= | imagetext= | imagewidth=<br />
| text= U. Podgarbe is a wide, U-shaped bay lying just half a mile NW of [[#U. Lucina|U. Lucina]]. Anchor in the NW corner in 5.0 - 6.0 metres where convenient. The holding in sand is good. Shelter is good from all directions except S and SW, when U. Lucina offers better shelter in all but strong SW winds. }}<br />
<br />
{{Poi | lat= 44.230396255748744 | lon= 14.821140048246978 | type= anchorage | name= U. Luka | zoom= 15<br />
| image= | imagetext= | imagewidth=<br />
| text= U. Luka is situated at the NW end of the inlet of Brguljski Zaljev, just over a mile NW of [[#Brgulje|Brgulje harbour]]. Anchor as far into the inlet as your draft permits in depths of 5.0 - 6.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and mud. Shelter here is excellent from all directions except S. In strong S winds it is untenable here. }}<br />
<br />
{{Poi | lat= 44.22201099200194 | lon= 14.879234615121314 | type= anchorage | name= Luka Jazi| zoom= 15<br />
| image= | imagetext= | imagewidth=<br />
| text= The inlet of Luka Jazi lies on the NE coast of the island, half a mile N of Molat Town and a mile S of the islet of Otok Tovernjak. It is the best anchorage for a visit to Molat Town when there are strong southerlies prevailing. There is a small rocky islet at the NW end of the bay which should be left to starboard if approaching from W as there are shoals between it and the shore. Anchor near the head of the inlet in 4.0 - 5.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and mud. The small harbour at the head is too shallow for yachts. Shelter here is good in winds from W through S round to E, but the anchorage is unsuitable if there is anything N in the wind. Molat Town is 10 minutes walk up the hill from the harbour. }}<br />

{{Green|Give a short history of the island.}}<br />
<br />
====Places to Visit====<br />
Molat is unspoilt and peaceful and an excellent spot for walking, which will be enough for most visitors. Although the villages are not unattractive, there is little of real historic interest (if one discounts the fact that King Edward VIII of England visited here in 1939 with Wallis Simpson).<br />
