Full Description & Details
Luka Sucuraj is a natural bay and anchorage at the eastern end of the island of Hvar, in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia. It is also a working ferry port, connecting Hvar to the mainland at Drvenik.
The anchorage sits close to the village of Sucuraj, with the ferry terminal and village amenities within easy reach. The bay is open to the sea but offers some shelter, and its character is that of a practical stopover rather than a resort marina.
How to get there
Approach Luka Sucuraj from the east, using the ferry port and village as a visual reference. The bay is open to the sea, so watch for ferry traffic and keep clear of the ferry berth.
There are no reported hazards in the approach, but strong jugo and bora winds can raise waves in the bay, so plan your entry for settled conditions. There is no VHF channel listed for the anchorage; contact the harbour master on arrival if needed.
