Anchoring in Croatia

Most Croatian bays have sand or sand-and-weed bottoms in 3 to 15 m, which hold well with adequate scope. Weed patches are the usual cause of a dragging anchor — set it, then back down hard and check the transit.

Anchoring is prohibited inside marina basins, in most national-park zones without a permit, and over marked cable and pipeline routes. Bova flags destinations where anchoring is forbidden on the destination page itself.

These northern Dalmatian stops, from the Kornati to the Šibenik channel, are recorded protected from the northwest.6 destinations
