Makarska : Profile

Location

A busy ferry port and bustling tourist town opposite the eastern end of the island of Brac.

Position 43°17.6'N, 17°01.4'E.

Docking

Berth on the quay, avoiding the ferry berth, or it may be possible to obtain a berth at the yacht club in the NW part of the harbour.

There is an anchorage in the SE part of the harbour, but take a line ashore if a bora threatens. The holding is good in the mud.

Apart from a swell in W and SW winds, the harbour provides good shelter.

Last updated February 2010.
