Split : Profile
This lively city is the second largest in Croatia. It has a wealth of museums and Roman ruins and sits under a dramatic mountain backdrop.
Position 43°30.3'N, 16°26.4'E.
Port of Entry in winter only.
The latest cruising report we have from the Summer of 2011 is that Split is only a Port of Entry in the winter. If arriving from another country in the summer, expect fines in the region of 120 Euros.
Viz is the summer Port of Entry.
The Harbour office is in the building with the green cupola in the NE corner of the harbour.
Customs are based in the big building at the international ferry terminal on the SE side of the harbour.

This is a busy harbour, but easy to enter in all conditions.
There are several berthing options, however it is now forbidden to anchor anywhere in this harbour.
For marina berths the large, sheltered ACI marina is a popular choice but that means arriving early afternoon and avoiding Friday and Saturdays during the summer to ensure getting a berth.
Various clubs also have berths here although prior arrangements might be advisable.
A quieter marina mooring is at the PSD Zenta marina.
There are two, more public, berthing spots in Split Harbour. One is at the quay just SE of the harbour office, and the other is the quay south of Diocletian's Palace. This one is free but very noisy.
The harbour is exposed to the S and SW and the constant movements of vessels causes surge, although the marina is protected from most of this.
Anchoring
Anchoring is now forbidden in this harbour, and yachts that do so face substantial fines and their boat papers being confiscated until payment is made.
