Kaprije - Luka Kaprije - Boat Hbr. - Marina near Kaprije

Description

Kaprije, the only village on the island at the end of Luka Kaprije is a nice place. Many of the old stone houses are still standing here, but the 150 inhabitants no longer live from fishing and agriculture, but from tourism. The harbor bay is long and very sheltered. The ferry to Sibenik is in front on the north side of the long fired pier, behind it is only 0.8 -1m water depth. On the southern side of the pier is 2.5m water depth and here ca.10-12 places. The small boat harbor is shallow, but the small old pier south of it has 2m water depth on the outside. The whole shore has small jetties for the local boats on this side and here you can moor your dinghy at one of the many restaurants. The moorings in the inner bay are operated by the restaurants and have water and electricity, water depth 1.4 -3m. You should be aware of the concrete blocks underwater - they are often large and just below the water surface. In Bora and Juno, even in this sheltered harbor, it is very rough. Anchoring is prohibited in the harbor bay, because of the ground harness of the moorings. But you can anchor in front of the ferry pier on 8-10m water depth. The village has a bakery as well as all utilities. The island was settled about 400 years ago, many old stone houses and the church are still preserved.
