Dubrovnik Yacht Charter

Exploring Croatia from Dubrovnik immerses travelers in a rich tapestry of history and coastal splendor, where the city's medieval walls open up to reveal picturesque islands, azure waters, and breathtaking landscapes along the Adriatic coastline.

Dubrovnik Yacht Charter Guide

The Crown Jewel of the Adriatic

A yacht charter from Dubrovnik offers a peerless blend of medieval majesty and Mediterranean tranquility. Known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic," this UNESCO World Heritage city serves as the gateway to the lush Elaphiti Islands, the salt lakes of Mljet National Park, and the vineyard-rich shores of Korčula. Whether you are embarking on a luxury crewed motor yacht or a spacious catamaran, Dubrovnik provides the most dramatic start—or finish—to a Croatian sailing odyssey.

High Tide Tip: For the ultimate experience, we recommend a one-way charter from Split to Dubrovnik, allowing you to cover the best of the Dalmatian coast without ever backtracking.

The Elaphiti Islands: The Local Secret

Just a few miles from the city walls lies the Elaphiti Archipelago. Most tourists visit on day-trip ferries, but on a yacht, you can anchor in the secluded bays of Lopud and Šipan long after the crowds have departed. These islands offer a "no-car" lifestyle and some of the most tranquil swimming spots in the South.

Mljet National Park: The Green Paradise

Mljet is arguably Croatia’s most beautiful island. Anchor in the deep bay of Pomena and take a short walk to the salt lakes. Nautical Tip: We recommend spending the night in Polače, where you can dine at a local konoba that provides a private mooring right in front of the table.

Lastovo: For the Serious Sailor

For those who value seclusion over social scenes, Lastovo is the furthest inhabited island. Part of a Nature Park, it offers pristine waters and a "starry sky" with zero light pollution. It is the perfect stop for guests looking for the "Old Mediterranean" vibe.

Montenegro: The International Option

Dubrovnik is the perfect jumping-off point for a multi-country charter. In just a few hours, you can cross into Montenegro to explore the dramatic Bay of Kotor and the super-yacht hub of Porto Montenegro.

FAQ:

Most Dubrovnik yacht charters depart from ACI Marina Dubrovnik in Komolac. It is located about 6km from the Old Town at the end of a sheltered river inlet, providing excellent protection for the fleet.
Yes. Dubrovnik is the perfect starting point for an international charter to Montenegro. Note that you must "clear out" of Croatia at Cavtat and "clear in" at a Montenegrin port of entry like Zelenika or Tivat.
The Elaphiti archipelago is very close. The first island, Koločep, is just 3-4 nautical miles from the mouth of the ACI Marina inlet, making it an ideal first-afternoon destination.
Yes. We specialize in one-way itineraries between Dubrovnik and Split. This allows you to visit Mljet, Korčula, and Hvar without having to backtrack to your starting port.
Dubrovnik is one of the more expensive marinas in Croatia. Expect to pay between €150 and €300 per night for a mid-sized catamaran in high season. Buoys in the nearby islands are a more cost-effective alternative.

Yes. As you sail past the Old Town, you have a spectacular view of the walls and Fort Lovrijenac (The Red Keep). For a closer look, we recommend anchoring at Lokrum Island, which housed many of the filming sets.
September is widely considered the best month for the southern Adriatic. The water is at its peak temperature, the summer crowds in the Old Town have dissipated, and the winds are generally calm.
Absolutely. Mljet is roughly 25-30 nautical miles from Dubrovnik, making it a perfect Day 2 or Day 3 destination for your charter itinerary.
The Jugo is a warm southeasterly wind common in the southern Adriatic. While it can bring some waves, your skipper will adjust the itinerary to ensure you remain in protected bays like those found in the Elaphiti archipelago.

Plan your Dubrovnik Yacht Charter Trip

A yacht charter from Dubrovnik is a journey into the soul of the Mediterranean. As the most sophisticated port in the Adriatic, Dubrovnik offers a seamless transition from the marble streets of a UNESCO fortress to the absolute silence of protected nature parks.

The Southern Gateway: ACI Marina Dubrovnik

Your journey begins at the ACI Marina Dubrovnik (Komolac), located at the head of the Ombla River.

  • Seamless Arrival: Upon landing at Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), a private 30-minute transfer brings you to a marina famed for its deep-water protection and 16th-century Sorkočević Summer Villa, which serves as the marina's centerpiece.
  • The Adriatic's Finest: Starting in the South allows you to visit the Elaphiti Islands within your first hour of sailing, making it the most relaxed embarkation point in Croatia.

Navigating the Southern Archipelago

While Split offers a bustling island circuit, Dubrovnik is the gateway to Croatia’s "Greenest" islands:

  • The Elaphiti Islands: A cluster of 13 islands (only three inhabited) that serve as a car-free sanctuary for those seeking a "slow-travel" pace.
  • Mljet National Park: A "boat-only" paradise where you can anchor in the deep Roman bays of Polače and cycle through pine forests to reach ancient saltwater lakes.
  • Lastovo Nature Park: For the intrepid sailor, Lastovo offers a rare glimpse of the Mediterranean as it was decades ago—raw, quiet, and incredibly clear.
