Furna (Brava) - Docking

Dec 06, 2017

It is not recommended to enter the harbour at night.

The holding is good in the sandy bottom. Yachts normally anchor to the west of the slipway with two anchors out to the southwest, plus a stern line ashore (with anti-chafe protection) to the sea wall.

Due to the effect of the mountains on the wind, the harbour usually remains sheltered.

A possible dinghy landing is at the steps on the quay in the north part of the bay, but it is subject to some swell at high tide. There does not appear to be a problem with security here.

It is not permitted for yachts to use the ferry dock.
