Full Description & Details
Tkon harbour is a working ferry and marina port on the eastern shore of the island of Pasman, in Zadar County, Croatia. The harbour sits at the village of Tkon, directly across the Pasman Channel from the mainland town of Biograd na moru. It is a county-significant port, and the year-round Biograd-Tkon ferry line is one of the busiest in Croatia by passenger and vehicle numbers. The harbour was substantially rebuilt in a project completed in late 2021, with new breakwaters, quays and a sea-circulation culvert.
The marina offers berths with depths ranging from 0.2 to 5.9 metres. Mooring is typically stern-to with mooring lines, and overnight stays are permitted. Holding is not described in the sources, so skippers should assess the seabed on arrival. The harbour is protected by a southeastern and a northwestern breakwater, but winds from the first and second quadrants can blow along the ferry dock just southeast of the harbour, so some caution is needed in those conditions.
Facilities at the marina include shore power, water, showers, toilets, fuel, and Wi-Fi at the quay. A crane, travel lift and slipway are available for hauling and maintenance. The village of Tkon has a square and access to Pasman island beaches. The harbour office hours are not published in the sources.
Skippers should be aware that this is an active ferry port, so ferry traffic uses the harbour regularly. The 2021 reconstruction improved the infrastructure, but the marina is a working port rather than a dedicated leisure-only facility. The best season is the usual Adriatic summer, though the ferry line operates year-round. There are no published restrictions beyond normal harbour rules.
How to get there
Tkon harbour is on the east side of Pasman island, facing the mainland. The approach is from the Pasman Channel, with the harbour entrance protected by breakwaters on the southeastern and northwestern sides. The ferry dock lies just southeast of the harbour, and the safety note warns that winds from the first and second quadrants blow along that dock, so plan the approach with that in mind.
There is no published VHF channel for the harbour office in the sources. Land access is via the Biograd-Tkon ferry, which runs year-round. The nearest mainland town is Biograd na moru, a short ferry ride away.
The village of Tkon itself is walkable from the harbour, with a square and beaches nearby. No formalities are described in the sources beyond normal Croatian port procedures.
