Trašte Bay and Bigova Cove Anchorage Guide

MARINA ENTRANCE: 42°23’00”N 18°40’00”E

Overview

This big bay is oriented in a south-east – north-west direction, stretching out for 3 miles. It offers multiple anchorage options depending on the wind conditions.

Important Warnings

WARNING: There is a shallow strip in front of Cape Trašte in the eastern part of the Bay (there is a lighthouse at the cove). The Kalafat rocks are marked 1.8 miles to the south-east of Trašte cove. In the north-western arm of the Bay, you will find good protection from maestral winds, but the sea is shallow next to the shore of this arm. The Pržna arm is completely exposed to southern and south-western winds. In the summer, there is a protective floating fence.

WARNING: Bigova Cove is protected from bura and southern and south-western winds. The end of the bay is shallow. The Cove is protected from all northern winds, and even from north-western winds. The end of the Bay is very shallow.

Anchorage Options

The safest shelter is deep towards the south-east, in the Bigova arm, which penetrates deep inland.

Depending on the wind, you can anchor in front of the north-western shore of the bay, in front of the Međeđa and Oblatna coves, or in front of the south-eastern arm of the bay (Bigova Cove).

Bigova Cove

Bigova is a nice cove in the far south-eastern part of Trašte cove. Its shallow end deeply penetrates the land and ends in fertile cultivated land. You can find medicinal mud at the end of the Bay. Bigova used to be the most famous fishing town in the area, and some of this ambience is still there, but the appearance of the Cove changed quite dramatically with the development of numerous holiday houses. This Cove is the best-protected part of Trašte Bay.

Berthing at Bigova Cove

You can berth on the old stone breakwater dock, with a double concrete addition on the north-western side, so the berth is separated by a breakwater wall. (There is a harbour light in the old part of the docks.) You can anchor anywhere in the Cove.
