Sumartin
| |
| |
The town and small harbour of Sumartin are situated at the SE end of the island of Brač in Croatia, six miles W of the mainland port of Makarska, with which it is linked by daily ferries. Sumartin is a relatively quiet spot in comparison with the bustle of its neighbour 10 miles to the W, Bol.
Predominantly a fishing and ferry harbour, it is now slightly more yacht-friendly with the completion of a new quay on the N side of the fishing harbour. Shelter in the harbour is good except in strong S winds, from which there is little protection.
Charts
See Central Dalmatia.
Weather
See Croatia.
Passages

Communication
Add here VHF channel for the coastguard, harbor masters. etc.
Also see World Cruiser's Nets.
The immediate approach to Sumartin has no dangers, although the headland to the E of the bay, Rt. Sumartin (the one with the conspicuous white light structure on it) should not be approached too close as there is a rocky reef extending some 75 metres off it. On entering the bay, it divides into E and W inlets. The harbour and the town are in the E inlet; the W inlet contains the fuel jetty and an anchorage. Depths in the harbour entrance are 15-18 metres and on the quay 3.0 metres.
Entrance
Split is the nearest all-year round port of entry. During the summer, Hvar, Vis and, if arriving from N, Primošten on the mainland are also ports of entry.
Berthing
The harbour has an outer, fishing boat harbour and an inner harbour which is occupied by small craft moorings. The quayed pier dividing the two has mooring bollards installed (although rather widely spaced).
The S side of the pier is usually given to bigger yachts and tourist boats where they moor alongside here in depths of 3.0 metres. Presumably at busy periods, one can anchor moor bows or stern-to towards the end.
Note: The quay on the outer breakwater to the S is used by the ferries and fishing boats.
Warning: In bad weather, the harbour is usually full of fishing boats, so Sumartin is not a guaranteed port of refuge unless you fancy riding out a gale alongside a fishing boat. Shelter in the harbour is good in all but strong S winds, which send in a dangerous swell.
Visiting yachts berth where directed.
NW quay
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
None.
Anchorages
Luka Sumartin
Better anchorages, except in S or SE winds, can be found at U. Studena 1.5 miles W or U. Rasotica two miles NNE.
