Latest revision as of 20:09, 14 January 2020
The deep and sheltered inlet of Slano lies 13 nM NW of the entrance to the harbour of Dubrovnik on the Adriatic coast of Croatia and 2 nM NE of the island of Šipan. The inlet is a useful overnight anchorage for yachts on passage to and from Dubrovnik or seeking shelter in northerly winds. Visiting yachts have the choice of anchoring at the top of the bay off the hamlet of Slano or, if there is space, berthing stern/bows-to the quay of the village. Shelter in the inlet is good, although strong SW winds send in an unpleasant swell and can make the quay at Slano untenable.

There are no hazards in the approach to the inlet of Slano. A light structure on the NW headland at the entrance to the inlet is visible from some distance. There are shoal patches extending off the headlands on both sides and a yacht should not pass too close on entry.
Berthing
Town quay
The best place to moor (except in southerly winds) is stern/bows-to the quay of the settlement of Slano at the NE head of the inlet. The quay can be identified by the green light structure on its S end. The S end of the quay is reserved for fishing boats mooring alongside, but the N end (the part extending for 50 metres S from the small fast food cafe) has been equipped with eight laid moorings (not there in July 2015, but maybe being relaid) and —better still —this section has now been dredged to 3.5 - 4 metres all along its length. Water and electricity are available on request. The mooring charge is not cheap, however. In June 2014 it was 273 kuna for 13 metres plus 70 for electricity and 30 for water. Shelter here is good in all but strong SW winds, which send in a heavy swell and make the quay untenable.
There is also a spanking new section of quay S of the green light structure which looks very tempting BUT at present (June 2014) depths are barely 2.0 metres alongside and there are numerous small craft moorings to snag one's prop. If they dredged it, removed the mooring buoys and installed laid lines it could add a further 10-15 stern-to berths here, but in the meantime it is only suitable for shallow draft vessels and dinghies.
