If the mistral or tramontane are blowing from the west or northwest, they\u2019ll carry you straight into the Hvar port.<\/p>\n<p>If the wind and waves are coming at your prow, you\u2019ll manoeuvre from one shore to the other, slowly approaching the small island of Klement on one side, and the Vela Bay and Mala Gar\u0161ka on the other. Next you\u2019ll see \u017ddrilca, Marinkovac and, finally, the Hvar port. Only seen from the sea does Hvar reveal itself in all its beauty. You\u2019ll see amazing landmarks such as the Cathedral, the Arsenal with its theatre, the Fortress, the Franciscan Monastery, and the seafront under the Factory, once the anchorage spot for the Venetian fleet and hundreds of moored boats.<\/p>\n<p>The port is open to the south and west, with an ever-rolling sea, and you can find refuge in the Pakleni islands.<\/p>\n<p>The Pakleni islands is a must-sail. If you watch out for the shallows, the experience is amazing. You\u2019ll need to sail upwind and downwind, follow the currents, sail through \u017ddrilca, squeeze past Jerolim, and all that in a short period of time. However, the <em>lebi\u0107 <\/em>(wind from the sea) can cause rough seas, so you should be cautious even though the islands and their coves are safe heavens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1262\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1262\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">To \u0160\u0107edro <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1262\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1262\"><p>The most beautiful time to sail from Pakleni Islands to bays Milna and Dubovica is when the mistral is blowing. Raise your spinnaker, prepare your crew and, as you cut through the waves, the only question on your mind will be whether to make a stop in one of the two bays. The mistral can make it challenging to sail into Milna Bay, except into the western part, Small Milna. If you have the time, make a stop in Dubovica as well.<\/p>\n<p>The sailing continues along a steep and unapproachable coast, and a small cove open to the south and the mistral, but your next destination will be \u0160\u0107edro Islet.<\/p>\n<p>The islet is mostly uninhabited during the Winter, but the first rays of the spring sun bring back life to this mysterious islet<\/p>\n<p>There are a few houses in the Lovi\u0161\u0107e port and Vinogradi\u0161\u0107e bay, with more and more sailors in the sheltered coves.<br \/>Since ancient times, \u0160\u0107edro has been an important port, the only shelter for sailors during strong <em>jugo <\/em>(south wind) on their way from Korkyra to Pharos. In 49 BC, important historic battles took place here between the Pompeii and Caesar, during which Caesar&#8217;s commandant Vatinius, with a smaller fleet but greater skills, overcame Marcus Octavius in the port of Taurus.<\/p>\n<p>In the Middle Ages, Dominican priests resided in the monastery in Mostir cove, after whom the cove got its name.<\/p>\n<p>The best place to anchor in the entire island is its western part, in the port of Lovi\u0161\u0107e. Although there are even more yachtsmen visiting every year, this port still exudes a peace and quiet, like it did in the past. Like in its neighbouring cove, Mostir, you should only watch out for the strong bora wind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1263\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1263\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Along the South Side of Hvar<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1263\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1263\"><p>If\u2019re you\u2019re sailing along the southern coast of Hvar Island, it will be difficult to stop before Su\u0107uraj, except in the time of the summer <em>bonaca <\/em>(calm sea).

The coast descends steeply into the sea, creating only smaller coves and strands the most interesting of which is the Pokrivenik cove which holds a beautiful strand along with several houses. You can anchor and have a swim here as long as bora isn\u2019t blowing, since the cove is open to it.<\/p>\n<p>Further along, towards Jelsa, you\u2019ll find the coves Vela stiniva and Mala stiniva, followed by the coves of Jelsa: Crkvica, Zen\u010di\u0161te, Grebi\u0161\u010de and Mina, suitable for swimming, but definitely not an overnight stay.<\/p>\n<p>For that, you\u2019ll need to sail on to Jelsa, the former Pitava port. In the time of sailing ships, many of them moored at the Jelsa waterfront, while their owners, the captains, lived in noble houses which adorn the Jelsa waterfront to this day. The sailing ships, along with the Jelsa nobility, disappeared with the arrival of steamboats.<\/p>\n<p>The port is protected by three breakwaters, and is safe and pleasant except when the bora blows from Biokovo. Sailing into the port is not recommended if a strong bora already started to blow.<\/p>\n<p>A mile and a half north of Jelsa, you\u2019ll find the village of Vrboska, anchored more than a mile inland. A small, quiet place, if we don\u2019t count the yachtsmen. To sail in and out of the bay surrounded by a pine forest, which at first broadens and then narrows, is a really beautiful experience.<\/p>\n<p>This former Vrbanj port bends along the both shores of the bay which are connected by several small bridges. Wherever you moor in Vrboska you can rest at ease; the bora in the bay feels good but doesn\u2019t create waves or disturb the moored boats. The southeast wind creates waves, and it is only dangerous in times of the stormy southeast wind when the sea level rises suddenly so berths should be monitored.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1265\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1265\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">On the Rout of the Strong Mistral<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1265\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1265\"><p>The sailing route to Stari Grad is 15 nautical miles long, without sailing into any of the 40 big and small coves along the way.
