We have just attempted to clear in via Komiza. We arrived at 5:00pm on a Thursday.
We tied up to the town quay as the customs dock was occupied. Cost 775 kuna for a 42ft catamaran.
The mooring staff called the Port Police in Vis to come and check us in, they should have taken half an hour, but over 5 hours later they turned up (it’s a 15 min drive from Vis)
They checked us in and accepted the covid vaccination certificate from Italy. We also got them to stamp our passports.
We tried to pay our fees but they did not want to take any money.
The harbour master for the island was on holiday until Monday, so we are hanging around until then to finalise check in and payments…
Would recommend trying to check is somewhere else if possible.
You must call the port police on arrival and get them to come to the port, otherwise they will fine you for delaying check in! There number is +385 99 3106695, any issues calling and the mooring guys will call them for you.
The harbour master only works Monday to Friday.
We used Komiza as an entry port and would encourage others to consider Vis Harbour or other ports of entry. When we arrived at 2300 hours, fishing boats were using the customs part of the pier (seaward end of the pier). As such, we went to anchor outside the bay in 25kt winds, good holding in approx. 10m. As soon as fishing boats left at 0300 we proceeded to tie up at the Customs Dock. Called Customs (Policier) who arrived and cleared us by 0400 and advised to see the Port Captain at 0800 hours as well as Customs and that we could remain on the dock until such time.
Proceeded to the Port Captain at 0800 as instructed then learned we did not need to see Customs. Upon leaving the Port Captain the Port Authority seized our yacht papers and charged us 515 KN for moorage charges. We pleaded our case regarding a need to clear customs and visit Port Captain. Port Authority was not flexible and said “Bad luck, too bad”. Hence, consider avoiding Komiza. Much much more pleasant experience clearing from Cavtat exiting Croatia.
Mooring buoys have too little space in between. Use plenty of fenders at your stern.
