Revision as of 15:08, 31 October 2018
An online cruising guide for yachts sailing to Molat Island in Croatia.
Molat Island lies off the mainland coast of Croatia, two miles NE of the island of Dugi Otok and 17 miles NW of the port of Zadar. Shaped rather like an arrowhead, the island has an area of just under 23 square kilometers, supporting just three small settlements, Molat, Zapuntel and Brgulje, all of which were established some distance inland for protection from pirates. In consequence, the shoreline of the island supports only small harbours or jetties with little habitation around them. Inhabitants of Molat support themselves by agriculture, sheep rearing, fishing and, increasingly, tourism, including yachting tourism. There are just two (more or less) organized berthing facilities: the quay and laid moorings of Uvala Lucina, the small harbour which serves the settlement of Molat Town, and the mooring buoys of Uvala Vrulje, which is the sea outlet of the village of Brgulje.

Berthing
There are several berthing options on Molat Island. The deep inlet of Brguljski Zaljev which runs nearly three miles into the S side of the island contains the small harbour of Uvala Lucina; the even tinier harbour and mooring buoy field of Brguljeki and two sheltered anchorages at Uvala Podgarbe and Uvala Luka. On the N-facing coast of the island are two further anchorages, the bay of Luka Jazi half a mile N of Molat Town and the inlet of Uvala Zapuntel, off the hamlet of the same name in the channel between Molat and Ist islands, which has mooring buoys.

Tourism
History
Give a short history of the island.
Places to Visit
Molat is unspoilt and peaceful and an excellent spot for walking, which will be enough for most visitors. Although the villages are not unattractive, there is little of real historic interest (if one discounts the fact that King Edward VIII of England visited here in 1939 with Wallis Simpson).
