There are a couple of inlets just downhill from the small settlement of Dragove. Dragove lies approx. two miles SSE of the harbour of Božava on the NE coast of the island of Dugi Otok in Croatia, and 14 miles due W from Zadar.
In the N inlet there is a quay which can be used by a visiting yacht and offers good shelter in all but strong N winds.
Some 500 metres to the W there is another inlet with an abandoned submarine pen -- a former naval dock -- which can be visited on foot or by tender. To the SE of the village in another inlet there is another one.

There are no dangers in the immediate approach to U. Dumboka. The settlement and its quay are on the E side of the inlet.
Entrance
None. Božava is the closest seasonal port of entry. The nearest year-round port of entry is Zadar.
Berthing
U. Dumboka
Visiting yachts moor alongside the quay on the SW side of this arm. Depths here are 6.0 - 8.0 metres. Shelter here is good in all but strong N or NW winds, when Božava offers better shelter. There are no facilities there.
There are some houses and quay at the U. Dumboka.Alternatively it is possible to moor at the quays right at the entrances at both of the submarine pens.
Note: Generally each of them could accommodate a couple of yachts, but beware if you find some sunken boats there. Also there are reports of rats there.
