Full Description & Details
Luka Vrh Lima is a small marina situated at the extreme eastern end of Limski Kanal on the Istrian coast of Croatia. The facility is managed by Zupanijska lucka uprava Porec and classified as a port of local significance under Croatian maritime law. The marina provides 30 berths where vessels can moor alongside pontoons or tie up alongside the reinforced shoreline. Depths range from 2 to 6 metres throughout the harbour.
The marina offers protection from all wind directions except westerlies, which can affect the anchorage. During summer months, the harbour sees considerable tourist traffic, with numerous excursion vessels arriving from surrounding towns. Two restaurants operate on the waterfront, though these are seasonal and open only during the summer period. Outside the peak season, berths are consistently available and the harbour is quieter.
Facilities are basic, reflecting the marina's small scale and seasonal operation. The restaurants provide the main amenity for visiting sailors during the summer. The harbour operates year-round, with the official season running from 1 January to 31 December. For operational matters and berth availability, sailors can contact the port authority on VHF or by phone at 099 473 8000 or 052/427-224, or via email at [email protected].
Visitors should be aware that the marina's location at the head of Limski Kanal means it is exposed to westerly winds. The seasonal nature of shore facilities means that services are limited outside the summer months, though overnight berthing remains available throughout the year.
