Full Description & Details
Lovisce Yacht Harbour sits in a bay on the southern coast of Hvar Island, near the village of Zavala. The harbour is sheltered from most winds, though it remains open to the north. The bay's middle offers anchorage for larger yachts in about 26 metres of water, while smaller craft can moor closer to shore. The setting is simple and functional, with the village of Zavala providing basic services.
How to get there
Approach the harbour from the south or southeast, using the red iron tower with a red light as the leading landmark. The tower marks the eastern side of the entrance.
There are no reported hazards in the approach, but mariners should keep a careful watch for local fishing boats. The harbour is not a full-service marina, so plan to anchor or moor using your own ground tackle.
