Full Description & Details
Bobovisca lies in the southern arm of a two-pronged bay on Brac’s western shore, forming a tiny resort harbour flanked by old stone houses and pine forest. The quay on the north shore provides about 10 berths, while the opposite side is occupied by local small boats. The village retains a tranquil, authentic character, far from mass tourism, and invites a slow pace of exploration.
The harbour is well sheltered from all wind directions, though NW winds can produce a noticeable swell. Alongside depths range from 2.4 m down to about 1.9 m at the quay wall, limiting maximum draft to roughly 1.9 m. Deeper water (around 3 m) lies a little farther out, and the broader bay supports anchoring – supplemented by a field of 32 mooring buoys rated for yachts up to 25 m, installed with a Manta Ray® anchor system. Entry depth into the Bobovisca Na Moru port is 8–12 m, making the approach straightforward under most conditions.
Water and electricity connections are available on the quay. Public toilets exist, but there are no shower facilities. A handful of restaurants and minimarkets in the village provide local cuisine and basic provisions; for a full supermarket, Supetar or Milna are the nearest larger towns. Fuel is not dispensed directly at the harbour but can be arranged nearby with some effort. Waste disposal is basic but usable.
Mariners should note two local hazards: an underwater wall at the end of the NE arm and shallows along the waterfront where moorings are laid. The port gets busiest from June through August, so arriving early in the day is wise to secure a spot. Despite its modest size, Bobovisca makes a safe, relaxing overnight stop that feels genuinely off the beaten track.
How to get there
The approach to Bobovisca Bay is clear with no significant navigational dangers, though skippers should always consult up‑to‑date charts. The entry to the Bobovisca Na Moru port shows a depth of 8–12 m, while depths in the outer bay and toward the mooring buoys vary. No VHF working channel is published; arriving vessels should contact the local harbour master on site.
Ashore, the village is connected by road and has small shops for daily needs. For major provisioning, Supetar and Milna are the nearest sizeable towns, both on Brac island. The island is accessible by ferry from Split, which also serves as the main international gateway for the region.
