- | + | | summary= [[wikipedia:Olib|'''Olib''']] Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], two miles E of the island of [[Silba]] and five miles NE of the island of [[Molat]]. An attractive and traffic-free island with a population of only 147, Olib has a long history dating back beyond the Roman era. It has no natural water sources, so most of the water used was captured in domestic cisterns until the construction of an underwater pipeline, which now brings precious supplies to Olib. Today the island survives on fishing and tourism, supplemented by the production of products such as olive oil, wine and cheese. Yachting tourism, as with many of the smaller Croatian islands, makes a not insignificant contribution to tourist income. Visiting yachts have the option of mooring on the ferry jetty in the main harbour of Luka Olib on the W side of the island or anchoring off either here or the bay of [[#Luka Sv. Nikola|Luka Sv. Nikola]] on the SW coast. | |

If approaching from N, note that the islet of Hrid Kujack has dangerous rocks off it and shallows extending all the way NNE across to the island. The port consists of a tiny, shallow small craft harbour unsuitable for yachts and a long ferry pier with laid moorings on either side for visiting yachts. Water and electricity on the quay. On the S side, starting at the yellow marker, there is place for 10 yachts. Depth at the quay 2.3 meters. This part is relatively shallow so beware of the mooring lines. The inner end of the S quay is taken up by small local boats. On the E side, Depths are 4.0 metres but this part is more exposed. There is place for 10 Yachts. The W side is reserved for ferries and tripper boats up to the yellow marker. Shelter here is moderate to good, depending on wind strength and direction, but it is not a good place to be with very strong winds from N through W to SW. }} | ||

Olib Island lies off the mainland coast of Croatia, two miles E of the island of Silba and five miles NE of the island of Molat. An attractive and traffic-free island with a population of only 147, Olib has a long history dating back beyond the Roman era. It has no natural water sources, so most of the water used was captured in domestic cisterns until the construction of an underwater pipeline, which now brings precious supplies to Olib. Today the island survives on fishing and tourism, supplemented by the production of products such as olive oil, wine and cheese. Yachting tourism, as with many of the smaller Croatian islands, makes a not insignificant contribution to tourist income. Visiting yachts have the option of mooring on the ferry jetty in the main harbour of Luka Olib on the W side of the island or anchoring off either here or the bay of Luka Sv. Nikola on the SW coast.
