Omis Harbour in Omis, Central Dalmatia, Croatia

Omis is a charming coastal village with a small jetty east of the river mouth, ideal for short stays. The quay features boulders that make line handling easy. Yachts can berth alongside or stern-to, with a depth of 4m. The area is popular with local boats, but sailors should be mindful of the Bora wind and strong, shifting currents.

Approach Omis Harbour best from the south to avoid the western sandbank (1m depth). Sail on the southern side of the buoys, keeping to the eastern side of the river mouth to avoid sudden river level rises. When navigating upriver, stay in the center of the channel for safe passage.

Omis experiences extreme wind conditions during the Bora, which can be sudden and intense. Strong, shifting currents are common, requiring careful navigation. The area is not recommended for shelter during Bora events due to exposed positioning.

The main jetty has a depth of 4m. A sandbank west of the jetty has a depth of 1m and should be avoided during approach. A wreck is marked with a sign near the jetty; mariners should exercise caution.

Local boats primarily moor on the north-western side of the jetty. A nearby restaurant, Konoba Milo (0.2 NM), offers dining options. Nearby marinas include Marina Lav (Podstrana), ACI Marina Split, and Marina Baška Voda, all within 13-13 NM.
