Overview
This harbor is a gateway to the Adriatic's best-protected waters, offering 35 berths with mooring lines, electricity, and water. The inner courtyard houses sanitary facilities, and the entrance is to the left of the harbor office. With a max boat length of 30m and depths ranging from 2.5 to 5m, it caters to a variety of vessels. Nearby, you'll find marinas, beaches, and restaurants within walking distance.
Approach and navigation
Approach the harbor with care, entering to the left of the harbor office. In strong Tramuntana winds, moor alongside with the bow to the wind, using a stern line to secure the bow. This technique ensures maneuverability even in challenging conditions. Watch for marked shallows near Veli Brak and around Vela and Mala Smokvica islands.
Shelter, winds and sea
Rogoznica Harbour is one of the Adriatic's best-protected bays, offering shelter from most swells. However, Tramuntana winds (blowing over the marina) require specific mooring techniques. No significant dangerous winds are reported, but sailors should remain vigilant in strong conditions.
