Sailing from Split towards east, along the north coast of the island of Brac, until you reach a small port of Splitska. With the Mistral, we recommend that you drop the anchor in the middle of the port, while with the Bora the best place for boats is at the quay.
Luka bay and Povlja bay provide a good shelter for all boats. With the strong Mistral, you should stay at Luka, which is better protected. Numerous small inlets around the bay provide many mooring possibilities.
Bol is the most frequently visited destination of the island of Brac. It’s a small port, protected from all winds, except from south-west winds. The pier west of the port is used mostly as an embarkation point for tour and excursion boats (3 meters deep). The central part of the promenade is equipped with bollards. You can anchor near the most famous beach Zlatni Rat, only if the weather is fine. However, pay attention to the area reserved for swimming. West of the beach, the anchor will not hold. For those who search for a quiet place, we recommend Vrboska, on the island of Hvar. Vrboska offers many mooring possibilities, with mooring buoys available at the ACI marina and at the town quay.
Stari Grad – the quay in front of the port authorities is equipped with mooring buoys, water and electricity. It’s a quiet and pleasant place. Secluded bays of Tiha peninsula offer some interesting mooring spots; Glavna and Vlaska, though exposed to the Mistral, provide a good shelter from Bora and Scirocco winds.
Cape Pelegrin – on the westernmost edge of the island. East of the cape Pelegrin, you will find some bays exposed to north winds. From there, you can continue towards Hvar, the main town of the island. The port of Hvar is exposed to south winds. Here it’s difficult to find a berth, because many boaters stop over to the port. You can anchor anywhere, just pay attention to the ferries. The anchor will hold good.
ACI marina Palmizana lies in a small archipelago of Pakleni Island, facing the town of Hvar. It’s very popular in summer, and from there you can take a taxi-boat services to Hvar.
Stomorska (Šolta islanhd) – a pleasant port equipped with many mooring buoys at the eastern quay. The Mistral and Bora can be strong, but not dangerous.
The island of Drvenik Veli provides two moorings: Krknjaš and Solinska. Solinska is not frequently visited; however pay attention to the rocks. Krknjaš is rather popular as a mooring. Pay attention only to the rocks on the north side.
