From the sea one will immediately recognize Rab by its town walls and four bell towers. Approach is possible between Cape Frkanj, on which there is a red lighthouse ( Fl R 2s 5m 4M) and Frkanj Shoal, which is marked by a green lighthouse on a concrete base (Fl G 2s 6m 4M). The latitude and longitude of Frkanj Shoal are 44°44,9’ N 14°45,5’ E. The shoal can be rounded from southeast. The entrance to the harbor is marked with a red lighthouse on Cape St. Ante (Fl R 1,5s 7m 3M) and a green lighthouse on Tunera Islet (Fl G 2s 14m 4M). Due to shallow spots around Tunera Islet, one should keep to the red lighthouse. ACI marina Rab is situated within the Rab harbor bay that lies in southeast-northwest direction. The marina is protected by a breakwater, the head of which is marked by a green lighthouse (Fl G 1,5s 7m 4M). During a strong south wind it is not recommended to stay in the town harbor. Maximum speed in the approach channel is 3 knots for all vessels. The western ends of the piers in the marina are lighted. Note: Official navigational charts recommended (Official Navigational Charts - publisher HHI Split): 100-18, MK-7 and Plan 20.
