Marina Lošinj

From CruisersWiki

Marina Lošinj lies on the E side of the inlet of Mali Lošinj on the island of Lošinj in Croatia. The marina offers a total of 84 berths for yachts up to 18 metres in depths up to 8.0 metres. The marina is safe in all wind conditions, although strong N winds can cause an uncomfortable chop. The marina is just over a mile from the facilities of the town of Mali Losinj.

Communication

Call Marina Losinj on VHF channel 17. Alternatively, telephone or e-mail for advance reservations.

Navigation

The approach to Mali Lošinj is through a 500-metre wide channel between the island of O. Koludarc to the S and the headland of Rt. Torunza to the N. Both should be given a good clearance as there are shallows extending for some 50 metres off them. Marina Losinj lies along the E shoreline of the inlet, around two miles from the NW entrance to Mali Losinj and immediately N of the Prolaz Privlaka, a narrow canal dug through the narrow spit of land that encloses the E side of the inlet.

An alternative approach is from the E of Lošinj island, through the canal itself. Depths in the canal are around 3.0 metres but the width is little over 6.0 metres and passage is therefore only suitable for monohulls of a moderate draft. The bridge which carries the road over the canal opens morning and evening (currently 0900 and 1800) to allow passage by yachts. Shelter in Marina Losinj is good in most conditions, although in strong NW winds conditions can get a little choppy.
