Docking

Korcula Town
The ususal berths here are in the marina, which lies in a small cove, east of the town. It is protected by a breakwater on the northern side.

When it is full (it may be worth reserving a berth in advance), yachts are directed to the outside of the breakwater. This is exposed and it may be worth moving elsewhere.

The quay near the Harbour Master's office, or on the west side of the town is an alternative.
