Approach
Korcula is a town and harbor on the northeastern coast of the island of Korcula. The harbor is divided into the eastern and western part, the ACI marina being in the eastern part. When approaching from Hvar, through the Peljeski Channel the red lighthouse at 42°57,8’ N / 17°08,4' E can be used as a way point. The marina comes in sight after rounding that lighthouse and the whole peninsula, which can be identified by the prominent town walls and the cathedral bell tower. The entrance to the marina is marked by a green lighthouse on the southern side of the breakwater. When approaching from the south, the safest way is to round the lighthouses Sestrice and Stupe Velike from the north. Then steer towards the green lighthouse in the eastern part of the town harbor. During summer storms it is not advisable to stay in the western part of the town harbor.
