In the majority of ports, marinas, and bays with buoys, mooring fees depend on the boat’s length. Fees vary from one place to the next, but generally depend on the quality of the marina or the popularity of a particular coastal resort. In all public ports and on public quays there is a daily charge of about $1 per meter of boat length. The person who comes to take payment will show proof of identity and issue you with a receipt. In the ACI Marinas (at Korčula, Dubrovnik, and Palmižana near Hvar Town) it’s charged at about $65 per 40 to 50ft boat. This fee includes water, electricity, waste disposal, and toilet/shower facilities.

It’s worth bearing in mind that during the summer months, especially July and August, sea traffic is heavy and ports and marinas are very busy. Make sure you get to your chosen destination on time and always have a plan B in case things do not work out as intended.
