KOMIŽA VIZ PORT
In this video Nick visits the largest bay on the island of Vis and shares great must know information on Komiža, one of the most famous fishermen's town on the Adriatic.
Komiža is completely exposed to the western and south-western winds which can get a little messy. Good shelter is provided in the port behind the high breakwater.
===========================
Transcript segment ...
Hi everyone. It's Nick here at 45 Degree Sailing. Today I'm going to go over the port of Komiža on Viz with you. Because this is an amazing port to come into it's a beautiful little seaside town. A fishing village. Rich with history and it's just an amazing setting in and amongst the hills here. [Music]
Komiža's just nestled in behind these high mountains so you're going to expect a lot of wind to come off these mountains. Any north sector wind to really rip off the mountains it's not a bad thing it's just something to be aware of. now Komiža also is a notoriously rolly port. Now this is my call and I don't like rolly ports. So you can get a swell wrapping in here from so many different directions. So I only really come when I know it's going to be flat because I'm a very sensitive human being as far as swell goes. But it can really wrap around the port. Here you've got this massive break wall, which does a really good job. And then you've got two mooring fields. One out in the main, underneath the hill here and then recently they installed another mooring field to the seaward side of this main break wall fills into here, and they are good. But they're not super far away especially in this area so be aware if you're 50 plus feet and there's 50 plus feet yachts around you there could be on a light wind night or a no wind night this is where you get some movement together and if there's any swell you're going to be rocking around. So just be aware of that.
There is one lateral green lateral starboard lateral beacon right on the end of the pier. The depth right off the edge of the pier is very good. Three and a half to four meters. So you have good access coming in and around. Be aware there is a lot of fishing boats here. This is a fishing village. So all of the inside of the inner harbor is filled with fishing boats all year round. In the winter or in the off season like now the pier has also got a lot of fishing boats on it but as you can see here in the summer this is all yachts going stern to the pier. As you approach this pier of course you're going to have staff helping you out like normal. Though this pair is very high. Okay we're talking about 1.5 meters at most times. Sometimes a little bit more sometimes less depending on the surge and the pressure and everything in the atmosphere. So be aware that even on a 55-60 foot yacht you're probably going to plank straight off your um off off the stern of the boat not off a swim platform. Even some are going on to to their rear seats or anything like that so they can be a very steep plank. So be aware you'll probably want to be a little bit closer to the pier and aware of that plank. If you've got a dinghy on the davit or catamaran or whatever you'll probably need to drop this so that you can get close enough............ watch for more great tips and information

Najljepši grad u Hrvatskoj!
Hvala na uvodu, Nick!
Hvala vam puno 😊
This is where my mom immigrated from and her family went back as far as i can see. Id love to go some day as i know theres a lot of family there. Fadich and Bozanich family were my grandparents :) thank you for the video!
Komiza is on my list for my next trip. Was there just for a few hours last year and I knew then I wanted to spend more time in that beautiful place.
It really is a gorgeous port. We love visiting here too!
For all those who asked for more information on marinas, ports etc - see Nick's latest video just released ACI Marina Palmižana, Pakleni Islands. Enjoy! Remember to like, share and comment 😀😀
Very nice video, hope you do some more videos of this kind.
And i'm glad they fixed the old bathrooms ;) good to know
Yes! I am working on filming the content for more of these in the coming months. Then I just have to find the time to edit them...!
@@45DegreesSailing I'll sail for you, you edit the videos ;)
Thanks!
Thank you for your support
Very interesting as usual !
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.
Well done port review.
Sorry it took so long to respond to your comment Chris. So glad you had such an amazing time out on the Adriatic Sea! Let us know when you are organising to come back these ways and we can help you book your next yacht.
Hi Nick, do you have any suggestions where to Anker while visiting the blue cave?
I don't think there's a good place to anchor on that side of Biševo. There's a field of mooring buoys in Mezuporat where guides of the cave will pick you up directly from your boat. I would strongly advise on getting one of the outer buoys, as they're set really close together!
Looks like this one has already been answered! Yes the mooring field has bouys for this and they are very close to each other so be aware.
Beautiful
Indeed
Thanks - will be heading out next weekend for two weeks so will definitely give this place a visit - any other tips between Split and Dubrovnik?
Komiža is one of my favorite places for sure, Porat on Biševo is a beautiful bay for anchoring and has a natural sandy beach, there are numerous gems on Lastovo and Mljet is also worth a visit (Konoba Galija in Pomena comes highly recommended)!
@@furrom152 Thank you. Hoping to do Split to Dubrovnik and back in two weeks. Definitely have a few places on Lastovo in mind and will be going to Pomena so thanks for the recommendation
How was your fortnight out on the Adriatic?
@@45DegreesSailing Hey - yes good. Made it as far as Pomena. I recommend Sucuraj and Sumartin as small, friendly villages. Last two days on the town quay at Bol in 30+ gusts and only 60cm under the keel but we survived. 40+ knot gusts on way back to Split coming off the Brac mountains but nurtured the boat back and moored safely. Saw another charter yacht come back with its Genoa ripped to shreds. Sun Odyssey 349 with twin rudders is difficult to manoeuvre in tight spaces and the front is VERY light. Had a couple of close escapes when the wind suddenly gusted in the opposite direction!
