Luka Velji Lago (42° 45'N; 16° 49'E)

Velji Lago is a large bay on the south-western side of Lastovo. There are various suitable places for anchoring and mooring here.

The bay is best entered between the two islets of 'Vlašnik' en 'Bratin Otok'.

- At the southern side, you find the village of Ubli

- At the northern side, you’ll find Hotel Solitudo (and that’s how it feels there…)

- At the north-western side there is Jurjeva Luka

- At the western side, there is Kremena bay

We anchored in Kremena. An interesting, but somewhat spooky bay. The spookiness is caused by the entrance of an old Yugoslav naval base station.

In Ubli and at the hotel you can moor along a quay, with electricity and water available. Various pilot guides say that mooring and anchoring is not allowed in Jurjeva Luka. However, my HHI Adriatic Sea Pilot (edition 2004) says that it is allowed, and we saw various yachts enter there.

Kremena is well protected against most winds, although Bura winds can cause a serious swell. This comes in through the small channel near the hotel.

Skrivena Luka

Along the southern coast of Lastovo, eastward from Luka Velji Lago, you will find 'Skrivena Luka' (‘Hidden Harbour) bay. Long ago, it was a favourite hide-out for pirates, being chased by the Venetians. The entrance to this bay is almost invisible from the sea. It is a beautiful mooring site.
