Berth

Tie up alongside the quay W of the bridge on the Otok Murter side, near the supermarket. The quay E The road bridge at Tijesno, viewed here from the E, opens mornings and evenings during the summer to allow the passage of yachts It is possible to moor alongside the quay to the W of the road bridge at Tijesno (on the Otok Murter side of the channel of the bridge has a ledge, and is also right next to the road. It may be possible to berth bow to the quay further S or bow to the pier with the light on the end. The alternative is to anchor. Anchor Either anchor off the pier (with the light) in depths of 4m to lOm, or anchor in Uvala Artie, a small cove NE of the village. Depths in Uvala Artie range from 2 to 4m in the centre. The bottom is mud and sand and the holding in both anchorages is good. If approaching Tijesno from the NW, there are two anchorages in bays to the W of the bridge where it is possible to anchor overnight. The nearer anchorage has a large campsite at the end and the shores are quayed for the use of campsite guests. The campsite -cabaret stops before midnight, and the speedboats are all safely tied up well before this, so the anchorage is better than you might think. The farther anchorage is quieter.

Shelter

Uvala Artie is sheltered from all directions except SE. Strong SE winds raise a large swell here. The quay is exposed to the bora.
