Hvar Town
Hvar Town is one of the busiest and most popular harbours in the Adriatic. It attracts yachts of all sizes and it is not unusual to find one or more (usually motor) yachts of over 100 feet moored against the wall. Actual wall moorings are limited as much of the space is reserved for the passenger ferry and the cruising gullets - the large wooden motor cruisers that ply the Dalmatian coast.
Moorings against the wall are with lazy-lines and have power and water. There is a smaller dock at the back of the harbour for international arrivals and departures. Several orange t-shirted dock-hands/deputy harbour masters are usually on hand to help with mooring.
There is space in the harbour for as many boats again (as can lie at the wall) to anchor. This again is usually assisted by the dock-hands/deputy harbour masters who patrol the harbour in a small dingy and may well indicate where they wish you to drop your hook. It is not unusual to find 30 or more yachts at anchor within the harbour. The bottom is reported as mud with good holding and the Hvar Harbour is sheltered in all but westerly and south-easterly weather when it can be affected by swells.

Comments and Reviews
IV (Hvar) - This is how it looked in Hvar harbour after storm from west. Crew was out eating dinner when it hit. I suggest not to anchor there if there is a warning issued for possible sudden storms, its sandy bottom so anchor doesn’t hold. Also, in August is almost impossible to find a place in town harbour, even in ACI marina Palmizana if you come in the late afternoon
CIYC Note - This reflects advice in the pilot guides that Hvar Harbour can be uncomfortable in parts during westerly and south-westerly winds.
It is perhaps worth noting that, though most of these guides list the the holding in Hvar Town Harbour rode as generally ‘good’, the likelihood is that the bottom gets ‘cut-up’ through the season by such frequent anchoring. Care should be taken when considering anchoring there in some weather conditions, particularly Sirocco storms and stronger winds from the south and south-west.
