The Milna town quay is a class I.C county port: €4.50 a metre a day for a boat of 10.01 to 15 m, so €54 for a 12 m boat, all year. (Official source, 26 Sep 2026) Metres count whole, so a 12.3 m boat pays for 13 m. A catamaran pays twice the rate per metre. You pay the port authority's attendant in the port, in cash or by card, and get an invoice. (Official source, 26 Sep 2026) ACI says the marina runs with fewer berths this year while it is rebuilt.

About 6.5 NM from Milna by sea, round the west end of Brač, though the two bays are only 1.5 km apart over the hill. (Measured by us, 7 Oct 2026) The Milna Tourist Board lists buoy fields in Smrčeva, Lučice East and Osibova, but the county's records show those concessions ended between 2022 and 2024, so who runs the buoys in 2026 is unclear.

(Official source, 26 Sep 2026) There is no buoy field: the study found only a few concrete blocks laid without a concession, and advised leaving Zlatni Rat out of the county's anchorages. (Official source, 26 Sep 2026) In season boats anchor on both sides of the spit: east in a maestral and west in a jugo. (Official source, 30 Sep 2026) - The rules: No anchoring within 150 m of a natural beach, under the 2025 ordinance. (Official source, 25 Sep 2026) Within 300 m of the shore, in narrow channels and near harbours and anchorages, go no faster than 8 knots (Article 50). (Official source, 26 Sep 2026) - Busy: A boat line runs from the centre of Bol to a pontoon at the start of the beach in Potočine bay, about every 15 minutes with up to 40 people, and half as often after 4 pm. (Official source, 26 Sep 2026) - Rules it out: Open to the bura, and above all to southerly and south-westerly winds, which raise a rough sea. The spit juts into the narrowest part of the Hvar channel, so north-westerly, westerly and south-westerly winds blow harder round it. In a maestral boats anchor off the east side of the spit, and in a jugo off the west side. (Official source, 28 Sep 2026) ### Blaca bay A long bay under the cliffs, and the landing for the hermitage. 9.5 NM from Milna (Measured by us, 7 Oct 2026). - How to stop: A very good anchorage on sand. (Official source, 26 Sep 2026) The county's 2024 anchorage plan puts a buoy field along the east shore of Blaca bay, in up to 20 m. The bottom is sand and seagrass, shelving from the beach to 8 m, and the path to the hermitage starts at the old jetty on the east side. (Official source, 5 Oct 2026) - Fee: Only a company with a concession for that anchorage, or the port authority inside a public port, may charge you for anchoring. Anywhere else, nobody may. (Official source, 25 Sep 2026) [Who may charge you](https://olasail.com/moorings/anchoring-rules-and-fees/#fees) - Rules it out: Our cautious answer: Leave if any wind from the east round to the south-west is forecast. The county's texts disagree: the 2019 study calls Blaca safe from the north round to the east and open to the south and south-west; the 2024 plan calls it open to the south-east and south and sheltered from the south-west by Blacina glava. Either way the jugo and southerlies make the sea rough, and the maestral bouncing off the steep shores makes a chop. (Sources disagree, 6 Oct 2026) Treat Blaca, on Brač's south coast, as open to every wind from the east round to the south-west, and leave if any of them is forecast. It is sheltered from the bura, and a maestral bouncing off the steep shore makes a chop. (Sources disagree, 6 Oct 2026) ### [Lučice](https://olasail.com/places/brac/#lucice) Coves near Milna for a lunch swim, 6.5 NM by sea from the marinas (Measured by us, 7 Oct 2026). - How to stop: The Milna Tourist Board lists buoy fields in Smrčeva, Lučice East and Osibova, but the county's records show those concessions ended between 2022 and 2024, so who runs the buoys in 2026 is unclear. (Third-party source, 26 Sep 2026) - Fee: The buoys have their own price whether or not you eat: €100 a night for a boat of 14 to 44 ft, from 16:00 to 05:00, VAT included. Dinner guests keep the buoy until 10:00. Book dinner by 17:00. (From the operator, 5 Oct 2026) - Rules it out: Our measure from the chart: the bay's mouth is open to the south-west and west, with more than 10 NM of open water, and partly to the south and south-east. (Measured by us, 5 Oct 2026) ## Don't miss on Brač Photo: “J35 836 Kloster Blaca” by [Falk2](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:J35_836_Kloster_Blaca.jpg), [CC BY-SA 3.0 DE](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/deed.en), resized ### The Blaca hermitage Anchor in Blaca bay, then walk up.
