Žut

Žut is the second-largest island of the Kornati archipelago, outside the national park boundary, with a seasonal marina and bays full of konobas.

Area (km²)

Population
uninhabited
Highest peak (m)

Žut lies between Pašman and Kornat and, although its landscape looks the same, it is not part of the national park. It has no permanent residents, and in summer people from Murter bring the houses in the bays to life. The island is known for konobas that can be reached only by sea.

ACI marina Žut is open in season and is the only marina in this part of the archipelago, with provisions and a restaurant. The bays of Hiljača, Sabuni and Bizikovica have buoys or berths in front of the konobas. They are well sheltered from westerly winds, while bura and a strong jugo raise a swell in them.

For boaters

ACI marina Žut (seasonal), buoys and konoba berths in the bays of Hiljača, Sabuni, Bizikovica and Strunac.

Anchorages

  • Uvala Hiljača

    Sheltered from Pulenat

    Open to Bura, Jugo

    A wide bay with three arms (Pristanišće, Dragišina, Sabuni), each with a konoba and its buoys or jetty. You can anchor freely on sand in Dragišina or at least 150 m from the buoy fields. Westerly winds are no trouble, while bura and a strong jugo raise waves, most of all in Sabuni.

  • Uvala Pinizel donji

    Sheltered from Jugo, Oštro

    The passage between the islet Pinizelić and Žut is only about 1.3 m deep, coming from the north watch for shoals of 3.8 and 4.1 m, and there are reefs off the south shore at the head of the bay. An older listing gives 13 buoys in the north-west part, but skippers' reports from 2022 to 2025 say no buoys remain; the anchor holds well on sand, but not close to the shore, where the sand is a thin layer over slab. The bay is dangerous in summer squalls.

  • Uvala Podražanj

    Sheltered from Tramontana, Pulenat

    The buoy field of ACI marina Žut along the north shore of the cove; the shelter data refer to the marina in the same cove. In bura the buoys or the northern part of the pier are recommended because strong bura raises waves in the southern part of the marina, and in a strong jugo the southern part is safer. In June 2026 part of the concrete pier collapsed, so the piers and the marina restaurant are closed until further notice while the buoy field stayed in use: check the situation before arriving.

  • Uvala Strunac

    Sheltered from Levant, Jugo, Oštro, Lebić, Pulenat

    Open to Tramontana, Bura

    A concession field in front of konoba Bain: anchoring is not allowed within 150 m of the buoys. The buoys lie in 7-12 m and rather close together, and at the stone pier in front of the konoba in the southern part of the bay there is 2-3 m. According to some sources the buoy is not charged to guests who dine at the konoba.

  • Uvala Sabuni

    Sheltered from Tramontana, Pulenat

    Open to Bura, Jugo

    About ten buoys lie in front of the small floating dock of konoba Žmara (6-8 berths, up to 4 m at the dock); mooring is free for the konoba's guests, otherwise the overnight stay is charged. When there is anything south in the wind, Pristanišće half a mile to the south gives better shelter.
