Komizza is located on the island of Vis (Vis in Croatian) in the Central Dalmatian archipelago and is a small fishing town and popular tourist destination.
The port of Komiza has docks capable of mooring approximately 30 boats up to 25 meters in length. The Komiza area is exposed to the Libeccio and Ponente winds, which create significant swell. For this reason, mooring at buoys is not available, as it is considered unsafe. The harbor is very busy due to the numerous local fishing boats.
The berths are equipped with water and electricity at the dock.
The end of the pier is reserved for ferries, while pleasure craft and yachts can moor further along at mooring buoys. A small shipyard equipped for technical work on boats is available. For nighttime entry, use the green light flashing every three seconds at the head of the pier as a guide.
Beyond Cape Krizni, there is an anchorage well sheltered from the first quadrants, and further north, just before Cape Banacj, there is a small pier where you can moor your boat.
The island of Vis is considered one of the most unspoiled islands in the Adriatic because it is far from the mainland, sparsely populated, and for many decades served as a Yugoslav military outpost and was therefore inaccessible. In fact, visitors will notice bunkers, tunnels, underground passages, and other structures throughout the island that were once used for military purposes. The flora and fauna are pristine, and this small island is an ideal destination for nature-loving boaters and those who want to discover new and enchanting beaches. The most charming beaches are all located in the south; interestingly, many of them are easily accessible only by sea and are very uncrowded. Please note that these bays all have rocky seabeds. We recommend Pritiscina Cove, which features a unique topography and reddish-brown stones rarely found elsewhere in Dalmatia. You can also take long walks or go mountain biking along the numerous trails. The island’s inhabitants are concentrated in two towns: Komiza, described above, and Vis to the east, where there is no shortage of restaurants serving fresh seafood and wine cellars.
Finally, it’s worth noting the Blue Cave, also located to the south—a fascinating spot that you can visit by anchoring about twenty meters southwest of the cave and then continuing by small boat (for a fee that includes the entrance ticket), which costs about 30 kune per person. It’s best to visit in the morning when the water’s colors are at their most vibrant.
