Approach

Vrboska is a town and harbour on the northern side of the island of Hvar situated at the end of the long and narrow inlet. When approaching from north the island of Zečevo can be used as a landmark. On Zečevo there is a lighthouse (Fl 5s 11m 5M), the latitude and longitude of which are 43°11,5 N 16°42,1’ E. After rounding Glavica Peninsula, ACI marina Vrboska comes in sight. At night one should steer towards the red lighthouse (Fl R 3s 6m 5M) which marks the entrance of the harbor of Jelsa. When the lighthouse on Cape Križ (Fl 2s 5m 5M) comes in sight, the town lights of Vrboska will be visible so we turn in that direction. Those who approach from the south, south-east or east will reach the marina by following the north coast of the island of Hvar from east to west. At night they will see all three above mentioned lighthouses. The ACI piers are lighted as well. The marina is well protected from all winds.
