Provides shelter from all winds, especially those blowing from the NE and SE quadrants. Yachts of light and medium draught can anchor under the NE shore in depth of about 12 m.

The cove affords protection from all winds. The landing place in its W arm is reserved for the car-ferry. Anchorage ground (depth 15 m) in the middle of the cove.

Facilities: Limited food and water supplies at the restaurant beside the car-ferry landing place.

Sheltered from the bora. Only westerlies are apt to raise a disagreeable sea inside the harbour since the bay is open to the W. A violent sirocco may suddenly raise the sea level inside the harbour. Yachts can moor at the S shore in depth of about 3.5 m. Smaller yachts can berth at the E and N shores in depth of about 3 m, using the four-point moor. The waterfront is lined with bollards. A good anchorage ground is situated NE of Fortin point (depths 6-8 m). During the bora yachts can find shelter and anchor in Zavala and Tiha coves, whereas the coves Graciste, Sv Ante and Maslinica provide shelter from the sirocco. The depth alongside the car-ferry landing-place and the breakwater is about 4.5 m.

Facilities: Harbour master's office, post office, medical service, chemist's, wine cellar and grocery shops. Sarag Fishing Club. Provisions at local shops, water from the hydrant on the quay. In the harbour on the N waterfront, there is a slipway for smaller vessels. The local shipyard undertakes repairs to wooden and plastic hulls, while maintenance jobs and minor repairs to marine engines can be effected at two local workshops.

The bora and the sirocco are felt within the inlet but yachts at moorings are sheltered from them. South-easterlies raise a slight sea. A strong sirocco causes a rise of water (in exceptional cases up to 2 m), which enters the harbour with great velocity and may be dangerous to moored vessels. Smaller yachts can moor alongside the quay or use the four-point moor. The anchorage ground is situated in the outer part of the harbour under the N shore (depth 24-27 m). Poor holding ground. During the bora yachts are recommended to secure ashore as well.

Facilities: Post office. Food provisions and water.

The inner harbour affords shelter from all winds, only its S part does not provide sufficient shelter during a strong bora. The outer part of the harbour is completely exposed to northerlies and to the bora and a dangerous surge develops in it with such winds. Only small yachts can moor using the four-point moor, at the quay. The inner harbour is occupied by local craft. Passenger liners land at the S mole. An anchorage ground is situated 250 m NE of the breakwater (depth around 12 m), but it is not recommended to use it in the winter months during the bora.

Facilities: Harbour master's branch office, post office, medical service, and chemist's. Pic Fishing Club. Zecevo naturist hotel complex is situated N of the town, behind Glavica point. Provisions at local shops (self-service store). Water from hydrants on the waterfront. Fuel at the petrol station (about 300m from the waterfront). A small slipway is situated in the S part of the harbour.

The inlet is sheltered from all winds except norther- liess and the bora. Shelter from the bora, to some extent, can be found in its SE part. Smaller yachts can berth alongside the pier on the E coast of the cove. The best anchorage is in its SE part.

E and SE winds raise a heavy sea inside the harbour. Continuous northerly winds cause the depth in the harbour to decrease, which should be taken into account. Smaller yachts can berth at the ferry-pier using the four-point moor, or sidelong at the inner side of the breakwater. They can also lie sidelong and using the four-point moor at the quay in front of the harbour master's office .

Facilities: Harbour master's office, post office, medical service, fish-cannery. Pagar Fishing Club. Food provisions and water.

Protected from all winds except those blowing from the SE and SW quadrants, which are apt to raise a moderate sea in it. The anchorage ground is in the middle of the cove.

Facilities: In Sucuraj.

Sheltered from all winds except south-westerlies. Smaller yachts can lie along the inner side of the breakwater (depths 26 m). Anchorage with sandy bottom (depths 34 m).

Facilities: Provisions at a local shop; a restaurant; water from cisterns.

Good shelter from N winds to smaller yachts. Depth up to 2 m.

The Hvar harbour is exposed to north-westerlies. Southerlies, especially the sirocco, raise waves and an unpleasant swell inside the harbour. The S part of the wharf is used by vessels on regular services. Yachts drawing up to 2.5 m can lie at the waterfront W of the small harbour Mandrac using four-point moor. Larger yachts anchor N and NW of Galisnik islet (depths 20-25 m). Smaller yachts can anchor in the middle of the harbour (depths 8-10 m) securing their sterns to bollards on the W shore. Yachts can also sail into Palmizana Marina on the islet of Sv Klement (Pakleni otoci).

Facilities: Harbour master's office, post office, medical service, chemist's. Pelegrin Fishing Club. Zvir Yacht Club. Naturist beach on the islet of Jerolim S of the harbour.

Minor repairs can be arranged; slipway (width 5 m).

The small bay indented with several inlets affords good shelter, especially from winds blowing from the NE and SE quadrants. The sirocco blows violently but raises only a moderate sea. Yachts can moor at the small pier (depth up to 2 m) in the W part of the bay. Four-point moor with bows facing seaward recommended.

Facilities: In the town of Hvar.
