| summary= The town and harbour of [[Veli Iz]] is situated about halfway down the NE side of the island of [[Iž]] in [[Croatia]]. The small islet of [[#Rútnjak|Rútnjak]] lies half a mile due E of the harbour.  A quiet and attractive settlement, it was for many years the centre of a renowned pottery industry, although the craft is now continued by just one family in the town. Every year in late July the town hosts a festival at which a ‘King of Iz’ is elected. The festival reputedly dates back several hundred years. The harbour of Veli Iz is given over almost entirely to yachting tourism, with its partial conversion into a small 50-berth marina with a wide range of support facilities, including a small repair yard.
 +
 +
Smaller yachts can also berth on the town quay, using their anchors, or anchor off in the harbour clear of the ferry approach.

==Navigation==

There are no dangers in the immediate approach to Veli Iz. The islet of [[#Rútnjak|Rútnjak]] can be left on either side. In the approach from the S, there is a {{mark|type=danger|name=shoal patch|lat=44.04574|lon=15.12865|zoom=16}} marked with a beacon around 500 metres NW of the islet of [[#Knezak|Knezak]]. Depths in the harbour entrance are 6.0 - 7.0 metres and there are depths on the quays ranging from 1.5 – 2.0 metres at the town quay up to 5.0 metres in the marina.
 +
 
 +
==Entrance==
 +
[[Zadar]] is the nearest all-year round port of entry, or [[Šibenik]] if arriving from S. During the summer, [[Sali]] on [[Dugi Otok]] and [[Primošten]] on the mainland are also ports of entry.
 +
 
 +
==Berthing==
 +
There are three mooring options for a visiting yacht in Veli Iz:

Veli Iz harbour from S

The town and harbour of Veli Iz is situated about halfway down the NE side of the island of Iž in Croatia. The small islet of Rútnjak lies half a mile due E of the harbour. A quiet and attractive settlement, it was for many years the centre of a renowned pottery industry, although the craft is now continued by just one family in the town. Every year in late July the town hosts a festival at which a ‘King of Iz’ is elected. The festival reputedly dates back several hundred years. The harbour of Veli Iz is given over almost entirely to yachting tourism, with its partial conversion into a small 50-berth marina with a wide range of support facilities, including a small repair yard.

Smaller yachts can also berth on the town quay, using their anchors, or anchor off in the harbour clear of the ferry approach.
