description
The harbour is lovely but the access is NOT easy. The entrance has a very narrow passage of about 5m wide and 1.9m deep that is not really marked.
The passage is not strait, it follow a light curve. The fairway is indicated on the chart and must be followed with an accuracy of less than a meter.
Once in, it's easy, you moor with a stern anchor to pontoon. There is space for 3/4 boats maximum.
The toilets and showers are up the road 100m on the left (from the pontoon) and requires 5 SKK coins.
There is a restaurant/café and a museum.
Don't even think to try entering here if you do not master tight in-rocks navigation following a line on your plotter.
Once in, the shelter is perfect. You can U turn near the pontoon enabling to "easily" exit in forward mode.
We went in (and out) without any problem with a 13M*4m sailing dual rudder boat. I had lift the keel to 1.5m but 1.9m would have been easier during manoeuvrer, 2m should still pass but not more.
The width (4.5m remains a max) and draft will not be the main issue for most boats. 1m more in length should still pass but not with dual rudders. The challenge is to follow a light curve without having your rudders to hit the rocks. Larger boats could use their bow thruster to better control the aft drift. In windy day, I would not play as it's really very very tight.
