The town and small harbour of Sumartin are situated at the SE end of the island of [[Brac]] in [[Croatia]], six miles W of the mainland port of [[Makarska]], with which it is linked by daily ferries.  Sumartin is a relatively quiet spot in comparison with the bustle of its neighbour 10 miles to the W, [[Bol]].  Predominantly a fishing and ferry harbour, it is now slightly more yacht-friendly with the completion of a new quay on the N side of the fishing harbour.  Shelter in the harbour is good except in strong S winds, from which there is little protection.

==Weather==
==Weather==
-
Diurnal winds among the islands are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5, although gusting is common in narrow channels between islands and on the lee side of headlands.  At night, katabatic winds off the mountains affect some of the islands close to the mainland coast.  During early spring and (especially) autumn conditions can be more unsettled, occasionally accompanied by violent thunderstorms - luckily of short duration - with winds of 30-35 knots or more and vicious, steep seas.  In the winter the sudden, violent N wind off the mountains, the ''bora'', is much to be feared, especially along the coast from Rijeka down to Zadar, although its effects can be felt as far south as Split.
+
''See [[Croatia#Weather|Croatia]]''.
-
Equally prevalent in winter - although not uncommon in summer - is the ''scirocco'', a S/SE wind that blows up from North Africa, usually in advance of a depression moving E across the Mediterranean.  Unlike the ''bora'', the ''scirocco'' only occasionally exceeds gale force, but is still a phenomenon to be wary of, especially if on a lee coast.

The immediate approach to Sumartin has no dangers, although the headland to the E of the bay, Rt. Sumartin (the one with the conspicuous white light structure on it) should not be approached too close as there is a rocky reef extending some 75 metres off it. On entering the bay, it divides into E and W inlets. The harbour and the town are in the E inlet; the W inlet contains the fuel jetty and an anchorage. Depths in the harbour entrance are 15-18 metres and on the quay 3.0 metres.

Sumartin harbour from S

The town and small harbour of Sumartin are situated at the SE end of the island of Brač in Croatia, six miles W of the mainland port of Makarska, with which it is linked by daily ferries. Sumartin is a relatively quiet spot in comparison with the bustle of its neighbour 10 miles to the W, Bol.

Predominantly a fishing and ferry harbour, it is now slightly more yacht-friendly with the completion of a new quay on the N side of the fishing harbour. Shelter in the harbour is good except in strong S winds, from which there is little protection.

Charts

See Central Dalmatia.

Weather

See Croatia.

Passages

See Croatia.

Communication

Add here VHF channel for the coastguard, harbor masters. etc.

Also see World Cruiser's Nets.

Navigation

The immediate approach to Sumartin has no dangers, although the headland to the E of the bay, Rt. Sumartin (the one with the conspicuous white light structure on it) should not be approached too close as there is a rocky reef extending some 75 metres off it. On entering the bay, it divides into E and W inlets. The harbour and the town are in the E inlet; the W inlet contains the fuel jetty and an anchorage. Depths in the harbour entrance are 15-18 metres and on the quay 3.0 metres.

Entrance

Split is the nearest all-year round port of entry. During the summer, Hvar, Vis and, if arriving from N, Primošten on the mainland are also ports of entry.

Berthing

The harbour has an outer, fishing boat harbour and an inner harbour which is occupied by small craft moorings. The quayed pier dividing the two has mooring bollards installed (although rather widely spaced).

The S side of the pier is usually given to bigger yachts and tourist boats where they moor alongside here in depths of 3.0 metres. Presumably at busy periods, one can anchor moor bows or stern-to towards the end.

Note: The quay on the outer breakwater to the S is used by the ferries and fishing boats.

Warning: In bad weather, the harbour is usually full of fishing boats, so Sumartin is not a guaranteed port of refuge unless you fancy riding out a gale alongside a fishing boat. Shelter in the harbour is good in all but strong S winds, which send in a dangerous swell.

Visiting yachts berth where directed.
