Practical
Position is the OSM building for Lučka kapetanija Split (way 125506959). Tel/fax +385 21 302 400; VHF 10 and 16 (per ACI). Croatia tightened its rules in April 2025: no anchoring within 150 m of natural beaches; boats 15-30 m long must keep at least 150 m off the coast, and boats under 15 m at least 50 m while underway; nothing (boat plus anchor, chain or lines) may reach more than 50 m from the shore when moored; a tender may only work within 500 m of its mother ship except when running to the nearest mooring; SUPs and similar craft only between sunrise and sunset, within 300 m of shore and outside swim zones. Harbour masters can add local bans at any time. In 2017 this office removed 138 unlicensed buoys from 17 bays, so only use buoys from a licensed concession.
