Difficulty, wind and costs on the route

third-party prices, 2026 season · checked Nov 2, 2026

Difficulty: moderate

The longest day is 16.8 NM. Lojena bay on Levrnaka is open to the south; manageable with a category B licence and basic experience, or with a skipper.

Wind

In summer the maestral (NW) blows 10–20 kn in the afternoon, so we sail in the morning. In a bora (NE), take shelter in Telašćica or at Žut; in a jugo (SE), avoid Levrnaka.
