The marina at Orebic has room to berth stern or bows to on the mole and is near to Trstenica beach and offers a spectacular view of Korčula Island.

Brna, on the south coast of Korčula, served as an overnight base for fisherman in the 19^th Century. It is a small, relaxed village with a quiet harbour.

A bustling harbour on the west coast of Korčula, there are many coves to explore in this large bay (the name translates as “big harbour”). Surrounded by greenery and olive trees, Vela Luka is set on the western side of Korčula. In the last century, it has emerged from a fishermen’s village to an attractive, cultivated and picturesque small town.

South of the old town on the island of Korčula, Lumbarda is a beautiful, sheltered bay which offers a less busy alternative to the main town. The marina here has 90 berths and good facilities.

The main marina on Korčula is well equipped but does get very busy in the height of summer. Yachts may be asked to moor on the outside of the breakwater or on the nearby quay when the marina is full.

With water and electricity on the quay this is a very popular harbour in the summer however there are places to anchor in the bay or a quay at nearby Kut which is usually quieter. The town of Vis is historically important and the whole island an unspoilt gem.

Located on the western side of Vis, Komiža is know for its pretty pebble beaches. This beautiful Mediterranean village has narrow back streets lined with 17th and 18th century stone town houses that peacefully surround the harbour. Komiza is the idyllic Mediterranean fishing village you have always imagined. 

Hidden in the depth of the bay and connected by narrow stone bridges, Vrboska is the smallest town on the beautiful island of Hvar, and also referred to as ‘Little Venice’. Away from the bustling resort on the west of the island, Vrboska, tucked into a cove on north shore of Hvar provides a great base from which to explore some of the quieter bays and coves.

The most famous Hvar town. The bay of Vinogradišće on the southern side of the island is encircled with a dense pine tree forest, altogether with plants such as rosemary and heather, among other exotic plants. 

Renowned for the absence of traffic and with extensive footpaths and trails, kids can run around safely, parents can relax with no worries, and you can explore hidden bays and crystal-clear sea. A water taxi will take you over from Palmizana Island if you want to visit nearby Hvar town. 

This popular  resort has a harbour with 20 moorings but it is one of the busiest and most chaotic in the area so the marina at nearby Palmizana may be a better option from which to visit Hvar town.
