| summary=The town and harbour of [[Vrboska]] are situated on the N coast of [[Hvar]] Island in [[Croatia]], a mile NW of the port of [[Jelsa]]. The harbour lies at the W end of a long, winding inlet quayed along most of its length and canalized at its top. The setting is extremely attractive, with an almost Venetian feel to it, and the town contains numerous old Gothic and Renaissance townhouses and fine churches, including a remarkable 16th century fortified church of St Mary of Grace.

===Charts===
+
The harbour offers excellent berthing options for visiting yachts, with a 125 berth ACI-operated marina as well as extensive town quays. The shelter is excellent in all conditions except strong SE gales, which create a dangerous surge in the harbour. The harbour can also be subject to a phenomenon called ‘plima’ in Croatian, a seiche which causes rapid fall and rise of water levels by as much as 2.0 metres. Fortunately, this is a relatively rare occurrence (last event in April 2010).

 +
 
 +
There are no dangers in the immediate approach to [[Vrboska]]. It can be hard to spot the inlet, especially if approaching from E, but a white light structure on the N side of the entrance is usually conspicuous from some distance. Depths in the entrance are 6.0 metres, gradually shelving to a depth of 2.0 metres by the small islet just under a mile up the channel. Depths on the quays are mostly 3.0 - 4.0 metres and in the marina 3.0 - 6.0 metres.

Nearby, at the head of the inlet, in an area inevitably described as ‘Little Venice’, is an area of old stone houses clustered picturesquely around an old stone bridge and a tiny islet bearing a lone palm tree and a war memorial.  Finally, there are some excellent walks both through the woods into the mountains and along the coast to [[Jelsa]].

Vrboska inlet showing ACI marina at the bottom

The town and harbour of Vrboska are situated on the N coast of Hvar Island in Croatia, a mile NW of the port of Jelsa. The harbour lies at the W end of a long, winding inlet quayed along most of its length and canalized at its top. The setting is extremely attractive, with an almost Venetian feel to it, and the town contains numerous old Gothic and Renaissance townhouses and fine churches, including a remarkable 16th century fortified church of St Mary of Grace.

The harbour offers excellent berthing options for visiting yachts, with a 125 berth ACI-operated marina as well as extensive town quays. The shelter is excellent in all conditions except strong SE gales, which create a dangerous surge in the harbour. The harbour can also be subject to a phenomenon called ‘plima’ in Croatian, a seiche which causes rapid fall and rise of water levels by as much as 2.0 metres. Fortunately, this is a relatively rare occurrence (last event in April 2010).

Navigation

The entrance to Vrboska inlet showing the white light structure

There are no dangers in the immediate approach to Vrboska. It can be hard to spot the inlet, especially if approaching from E, but a white light structure on the N side of the entrance is usually conspicuous from some distance. Depths in the entrance are 6.0 metres, gradually shelving to a depth of 2.0 metres by the small islet just under a mile up the channel. Depths on the quays are mostly 3.0 - 4.0 metres and in the marina 3.0 - 6.0 metres.

Entrance

Stari Grad is the nearest summer port of entry. At other times of the year, Split and Korčula are the nearest year-round ports of entry.

Berthing

There are three main berthing options:

The quay has 20 laid moorings

Town quay

Vrboska town quay is to port, about 200 metres past the ACI Marina, and starts at a red port marker.The 100 metre section of quay from the marker to the W end has around 20 laid moorings for yachts along the first 50 metres; the second 50 metres has no moorings and is used by tripper and fishing boats to go alongside. Depths are from 4.5 metres at the E end (at the red marker) to 3.5 metres at the W end. Shelter on the quay is good in all but strong SE winds (25 knots and above), which send in an uncomfortable swell. Water and electricity are available on the quay.

Prices: Charges (as of July 2014) 200 kuna per metre (including water and electricity) plus 100 kuna port fees.
The north quay has some private moorings

N quay

Harbour icon N quay [[Vrboska#N quay|N quay]] 43°10.761'N, 016°40.810'E

There is a quay on the N side of the inlet, 200 metres NE of Marina Vrboska, where a yacht may be able to lie bows/stern-to or alongside. Much of it is occupied with local boats on moorings tailed to buoys, but it seems that yachts are tolerated here for short periods if there is space. You will probably have to use your anchor if mooring here.
