Brač is the third-largest island on the Adriatic, and Vidova gora is its highest peak and the highest on any Adriatic island. White limestone has been quarried near Pučišća for centuries. On the south coast is Bol with Zlatni rat, a shingle spit that changes shape with the current and the wind.

Milna at the western end lies in a deep bay protected from all winds and has two marinas. The north coast, with Supetar, Splitska, Postira and Pučišća, faces the Brač Channel and the bura, and the south coast the Hvar Channel, where the maestral picks up noticeably in the afternoon. Bol harbour is small and unprotected, so you stay there only in calm weather.

For boaters

ACI marina Milna and marina Vlaška, the town harbours of Supetar, Pučišća, Sumartin and Bol, the anchorages of Bobovišća and Lučice.

Anchorages

  • Uvala Lučice

    Sheltered from Bura, Tramontana

    Open to Oštro, Lebić, Jugo

    A five-armed bay with two konoba buoy fields (bow to the buoy, stern to a mooring or a line ashore); the western arm is the best sheltered. Southerly and south-westerly winds make the open arms unusable. When anchoring, mind the many lines and chains on the seabed.

  • Uvala Bobovišća

    Sheltered from Bura, Tramontana, Levant, Jugo, Oštro

    Open to Maestral, Pulenat

    A fjord-like bay with a paid buoy field and a few berths in the small harbour. It is sheltered from bura and jugo and is a good refuge in summer squalls; only north-westerly and westerly winds bring in swell.

  • Uvala Luka (Pučišća)

    Sheltered from Tramontana, Jugo, Oštro, Lebić, Pulenat, Maestral

    Two konobas in the western part of the bay run the buoys and the pier moorings (yellow and red buoys); anchoring on your own anchor is possible about 150 m from the restaurants. Very strong bura and strong easterly wind raise a small chop in the bay. There is also a fish farm in the bay.

  • Uvala Osibova

    Sheltered from Tramontana, Bura, Pulenat, Maestral

    Open to Jugo, Oštro

    Buoy information is inconsistent: one source lists 5 concession buoys, another 20, and two visitors reported in 2023 that there are no longer any buoys in the bay, so check before you count on one. There is a hotel complex in the bay but no restaurant: the nearest konoba is in the neighbouring bay Lučice.

  • Uvala Slavinjina

    Sheltered from Tramontana, Bura, Levant, Pulenat, Maestral

    Open to Oštro

    An arm of Lučice bay. By a 2018 source there are no concession buoys and no charge here; in the far northern end (2-3 m) there are small local buoys, unsuitable for boats over 5 m. There are no facilities in the cove and the nearest konoba is in the neighbouring arm of Lučice. Shallows lie around the tips of the arms and Križ point.

  • Uvala Koromaslinova

    Sheltered from Tramontana, Bura, Levant, Jugo, Maestral

    Open to Lebić

    The eastern arm of Lučice bay. The bottom is sandy in the middle, where the anchor holds well, and rocky towards the shore, where it holds poorly. South-westerly wind can send a large swell into the eastern arms. By a 2018 source there are no concession buoys and no charge, and the nearest konoba is in Lučice.

Before you call, have ready the boat's position (coordinates or the nearest headland, island or bay), the number of people on board and a description of the problem. A call to 112 is put through to the maritime rescue centre.
