Full Description & Details
Ilovik is a small marina on the island of the same name in Croatia, located at Porat Ilovik 157. The harbour is sheltered and open year-round, with a working port area that includes an operational quay for scheduled passenger ferries. The marina itself is part of the wider harbour, which also has a small boat harbour and mooring facilities. In the village you will find restaurants and a supermarket, making it a practical stop for provisioning.
The marina offers 100 berths, with a maximum vessel length of 25 metres. Water depths range from 1 to 8 metres, so shallow-draft boats can find a spot, but deeper keels should check the chart carefully. The seabed is sandy, and there are about 50 mooring buoys laid out in the anchorage area, in addition to the berths. Mooring at the buoys is subject to a fee, and anchoring is not allowed. The harbour is sheltered, providing good protection from the weather.
Facilities at Ilovik include electricity at the berths, a slipway (navoz), and harbour lighting. There is a dock reachable by dinghy, with water available. The marina has a VHF channel 17 for contact, and the office can be reached by phone at +385 98 182 61 20 or by email at [email protected]. The nearest fuel station is about 8 nautical miles away at Mali Losinj, so plan your fuel needs accordingly.
Safety notes: the harbour is sheltered, but depths can be shallow in places, so approach with caution. The marina is open all year, and overnight stays are permitted. There is a guest buoy system, and fees are charged for mooring. The operational quay is used by passenger ferries, so keep clear of that area when ferries are manoeuvring. The village has restaurants and a supermarket, and the marina is within walking distance of the village streets.
