There is room here for 6-8 yachts, although the quay is also used by tripper boats during the season, reducing the available space. Depths alongside here are little over 2.0 metres, increasing to 6.0 - 7.0 metres further out. Shelter here is good from all winds except N/NE, when it becomes uncomfortable and, if strong, untenable. | ||

Veli Lošinj
| |
|
The tiny port of Veli Lošinj lies on the E coast of the island of Lošinj, two miles SE of the island’s capital, Mali Lošinj and 14 miles S of the Osor canal. Like Mali Losinj, the village prospered in the 19th century days of sail and the harbour is ringed with the houses of former sea captains. The baroque church of St Anthony of Egypt on the harbour is one of the finest on the island. The harbour itself is quite cramped and is only suitable for a brief visit by yacht (more than 6-7 and it is practically full). Shelter is reasonable but the harbour becomes untenable with strong N winds.
