Orebic Harbour in South Dalmatia, Croatia

Orebic Harbour is a year-round facility with 220 berths, accommodating vessels up to 12 meters. While it's shoal-free and open all year, sailors should be mindful of navigational hazards and seasonal weather patterns. The harbor is particularly popular for its proximity to two Adriatic national parks and its role as a gateway to the Pelješac Peninsula's lesser-known coves.

Approach with caution due to mooring lines laid very flat, which may cause entanglement risks. Use GPS coordinates (42.9739° N, 17.1754° E) for precise navigation. The harbor's entrance is marked by buoys, and pilots are recommended for first-time visitors.

The harbor provides good summer shelter but is not recommended for winter use due to strong S/SW winds creating waves up to 2 knots. Currents can reach 2 knots near the entrance during these conditions. Wind protection is limited outside the harbor's breakwaters.

Depth: 2 meters. Hazards include unmarked sunken wreck (0.1 NM) near Mokalo hamlet, reefs with lighthouse markers around Stupa and Sestrica islands, and shallow areas in Trstenica Bay NE of the harbor. Always verify depth charts before anchoring.

As an alternative to ACI Marina Korčula, Orebic is ideal for sailors seeking quieter berths. It serves as a base for exploring Mljet National Park (13 NM) and Lastovo Islands (19 NM). The harbor's location on the Pelješac Peninsula provides access to both the Adriatic Sea and the inland waters of the Pelješac Channel.

• Starting point for Mljet and Lastovo National Park excursions
• Shoal-free year-round harbor with 220 berths
• Proximity to 29 beaches and coves within 0.2 NM
