This is a port popular with Italian yachts and charter fleets, so early arrival is advised to obtain a berth.
Town Quay:
Berth stern-to on the SW side of the harbor. There are water and electricity on the quay. There are several bars and restaurants here. This quay fills up by early afternoon.
Moorings:
There are mooring buoys to the east of the harbor.
Other Options:
The bay to the NW of town, with a small boatyard at the end, has some moorings that are used by flotillas during the season. It can get noisy here as the charter fleets use both the moorings and anchor on the north side of the bay with lines ashore.
If a quieter berth is preferred, moor to the quay at the village of Kut where the shelter is better in a southwesterly.
There are several anchorages in the outer bay but ensure your anchor penetrates the weed. Anchoring is not permitted in the inner bay.

Vis is now an established port of call for the Charter Fleets. The advice to arrive early holds true. There are mooring buoys to the east of the harbour and the Town Quay fills up in the afternoon.
The bay to the north west side of town, with a small boatyard at the end, has a series of maybe 20 buoys on its south shore. Beware. It is where flotilla of Charter Boats moor. You might end up partying the night away. Anchoring on lines ashore on the north side will have the same result as they infest that shore too.
Vis is a nice, fairly quiet town, despite the charter fleets, plenty of restaurants, worth an overnight stop if you have time to kill.
First time back to Vis in 11 years. You cannot reserve a spot on the wall, but generally if you are in by 2 you should be ok. There are now lots of moorings around as well.
