Sutivan is a picturesque but small harbour on the N coast of the island of [[Brac]] in [[Croatia]], three miles W of the island’s main ferry port of [[Supetar]] and 10 miles S of the town of [[Split]] on the mainland. Formerly a busy fishing harbour, the village is now largely given over to tourism and its basin is today lined with small leisure craft bobbing on their moorings. Visiting yachts must squeeze in wherever they can as there is no specific provision for them, but the charm of the village is such that the effort is worth it. Shelter is good except with strong NW or N winds, which cause a potentially dangerous swell. | Sutivan is a picturesque but small harbour on the N coast of the island of [[Brac]] in [[Croatia]], three miles W of the island’s main ferry port of [[Supetar]] and 10 miles S of the town of [[Split]] on the mainland.

 Sutivan harbour from NNE - Click for larger view |
Sutivan is a picturesque but small harbour on the N coast of the island of Brac in Croatia, three miles W of the island’s main ferry port of Supetar and 10 miles S of the town of Split on the mainland. Formerly a busy fishing harbour, the village is now largely given over to tourism and its basin is today lined with small leisure craft bobbing on their moorings. Visiting yachts must squeeze in wherever they can as there is no specific provision for them, but the charm of the village is such that the effort is worth it. Shelter is good except with strong NW or N winds, which cause a potentially dangerous swell.
Local 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.
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.

Radio Nets

The approach to Sutivan has no hazards. The harbour is entered from NW. Depths in the entrance are 6.0 metres and along the quays 2.0 - 3.0 metres, the better depths being on the breakwater.
Check-in facilities (for Customs and Immigration)
Split is the nearest all-year round port of entry. During the summer, Hvar, Vis and, if arriving from N, Primosten on the mainland are also ports of entry.
Berthing Options
Berthing options are very limited in the harbour. Moorings for small leisure craft line most of the quays and a visiting yacht must squeeze in wherever it can. Go alongside the breakwater if you can find space; the depths here are 3.0 metres. There is usually room at the end unless other yachts have got there first. Alternatively drop anchor carefully clear of the moorings and go bows or stern-to the breakwater quay wherever there is space. Shelter in the harbour is good in most conditions except for strong N or NW winds, which, if they are very strong, would make the harbour untenable.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
None. See entry for Milna.
