Dubrovnik Yacht Charter & Boat Hire Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik, known for its extraordinary beauty, is often called the 'Pearl of the Adriatic'. Its impressive old town, surrounded by walls, is one of the most beautiful medieval architectural ensembles in the world. Dubrovnik is surrounded by beautiful beaches and islands, creating a unique natural backdrop.  

What makes Dubrovnik consistently one of the world's top destinations?  

History: Dubrovnik has a rich history that extends deep into the past, all the way back to the Roman era. It was a significant maritime power in the Middle Ages and one of the most important trading cities in the Mediterranean.  

Old Town: The main attraction of Dubrovnik is its beautiful old town, which is under the protection of UNESCO. It is characterized by medieval architecture, stone streets, monumental walls, and numerous churches, palaces, and museums.  

Walls : Dubrovnik's walls are one of the best-preserved fortifications in the world. They offer a spectacular view of the city and the sea and are popular among visitors.  

Filming Location: Dubrovnik has become a popular tourist destination also because it served as a filming location for the popular TV series "Game of Thrones".  

Natural Beauty: In addition to its rich history and cultural heritage, Dubrovnik is abundant in incredible natural beauty, including crystal-clear sea, picturesque coves, and lush Mediterranean vegetation surrounding the city, providing visitors with a unique experience of beauty and harmony with nature.  

Top 5 sailing destinations near Dubrovnik   

• The Elaphiti Islands: These islands, including Lopud, Šipan, and Koločep , offer excellent conditions for sailing due to their picturesque beaches, hidden coves, and crystal-clear sea. The main ports are located on the northwest side of the islands, while less developed nautical destinations are on their northeastern sides. They are all lushly green, with the rich centuries-old architecture of the Dubrovnik nobility harmoniously blending into the abundant vegetation.  
• Mljet Island: The island of Mljet, located southwest of Dubrovnik, is part of the eponymous national park. Here, you can sail around beautiful lakes, explore untouched natural beauty, and enjoy peace and tranquility. The main attractions of the park are two saltwater lakes, Veliko and Malo jezero, located within the island, and the island of St. Mary, situated in Veliko jezero. You can moor in Polace Bay.  
• Korčula Island: The island of Korčula, known for its lush vineyards and beautiful beaches, is also a fantastic sailing destination. Korčula has a rich history dating back thousands of years. The town of Korčula, located on the eastern coast of the island, is famous for its medieval architecture and culture. The town is considered the birthplace of the famous explorer Marco Polo. Some of the most famous beaches include Vela Pržina and Pupnatska Luka. ACI Marina Korčula has 159 berths, each equipped with water and electricity connections, and can accommodate boats up to 50 meters in length with a maximum draft of 5 meters. The marina is well-protected from all winds and is open year-round.  
• Pelješac Peninsula: Located about 20 nautical miles from Dubrovnik, the Pelješac Peninsula is known for its long tradition of grape cultivation and the production of high-quality wines, particularly the indigenous red wine Plavac Mali. Pelješac's vineyards are situated on sunny slopes, offering spectacular views of the Adriatic Sea. Additionally, it boasts beautiful beaches with crystal-clear waters and picturesque surroundings. Some of the most famous beaches include Prapratno, Jezero, and Divna. The peninsula is also a popular destination for windsurfing enthusiasts, cycling, quad safari, and other outdoor activities.  
• Lastovo Island: The population of Lastovo is less than 1000, so the island's nature remains untouched and exceptionally beautiful, preserving its authenticity while slowly opening up to tourists. Moreover, Lastovo is a nature park, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking a peaceful and relaxing vacation in nature. The largest settlement is Lastovo, surrounded by hills and adorned with distinctive houses featuring decorated chimneys from the 15th and 16th centuries. The Lastovo carnival (Lastovo Poklad), also known as the "Lastovo Poklad of Songs and Games," is a traditional cultural event held annually in February. The Lastovo Poklad was declared an intangible cultural heritage of the Republic of Croatia in 2008, and it is currently nominated for inclusion on UNESCO's list of good practices. Lastovo has several marinas and ports that provide safe anchorage and services for sailors, such as Skrivena Luka and Zaklopatica Bay .  

Optimal sailing conditions: Weather and winds in Dubrovnik  

Sailing conditions in Dubrovnik are generally favorable, making it a popular destination for sailors throughout the year. The region experiences a Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. During the summer months, from June to August, sailors can expect warm temperatures averaging around 25-30°C (77-86°F) and plenty of sunshine, ideal for leisurely cruising and exploring the nearby islands.  

Winds in Dubrovnik are typically light to moderate, with prevailing winds coming from the northwest (Maestral) and northeast (Bura) during the summer season. The Maestral is a refreshing breeze that usually picks up in the afternoon, providing pleasant sailing conditions along the coast. The Bura, a strong northeasterly wind, can occasionally occur, especially in the winter months, but it typically brings clear skies and good visibility.  

In addition to the Maestral and Bura, sailors may also encounter Jugo, a warm, humid wind originating from the southeast. Jugo can bring higher temperatures and occasional storms, so it's important for sailors to monitor weather forecasts and plan their routes accordingly.

Unwind & Reconnect: Your Dubrovnik Luxury Yacht Escape

Its natural beauty and rich history with the seductive charm of a balmy Mediterranean climate and coastal scenery of incomparable beauty make this UNESCO World Heritage Site one of the most beloved and visited Mediterranean destinations

Dubrovnik seems to be born from the palette of a painter who wanted to use warmer color gradients for creating a landscape that enchants the visitor at the first sight. For many centuries, this Adriatic Pearl was an independent Republic, a proud cultural center, and essential Mediterranean trading power.

From its sun-kissed terracotta rooftops to its emerald green hills, Dubrovnik’s palette is a feast for the eyes. The city’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a labyrinth of narrow, cobblestone streets lined with pastel-hued houses and adorned with ornate stonework. As you stroll along the city’s promenade, let the warm Adriatic breeze and breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and islands wash over you.

Rare are the cities that can boast a comparable location or equally well-preserved medieval walls. The enchantment starts with the panoramic view of the Old Town of Dubrovnik, from the winding road that brings you to town from the airport.

Dubrovnik is a living museum , a treasure of Baroque, Renaissance, and medieval churches and palaces. Minčeta, Bokar, Lovrijenac are just some of the beautiful forts and towers that surround the city, but for visitors, the City Port with the statue of St. Vlaho, city patron, is the best entry point into this treasure, this former city-state and symbol of freedom.

You will also soon learn really fast that the steps and stairs are part of Dubrovnik’s charm, and we love them, or at least we don’t mind them that much. Believe it or not, Dubrovnik is the city with the most stairs on the Mediterranean. There are 4.343 steps within the perimeter of the city wall and 1.080 steps on the wall itself, making the grand total of 5.423.

For locals, these stairs are a place to unwind with friends on a late summer night, a place to wait before meeting someone. Don’t be surprised if you see them chilling by shop windows, talking and laughing loudly, for this all represents the carefree city spirit.

In the morning, you’ll see the locals visit open markets, not just for food, but also in hope accidentally happen upon a familiar face and have an excuse to sit down for coffee and gossip.

The most luxurious Croatian destination – Dubrovnik: Just for a walk

Another local tradition is going to Stradun – just for a walk, but every evening, starting at Pile, then to Orlando, and then back the Onofrio water fountain… and then repeat for two or three times. Make sure you’re wearing your best clothes, for there’ll be many fashion-savvy eyes on you, judging from the nearby restaurants and cafes.

If catwalk isn’t your thing, there are plenty of backstreets downtown. The alternative is Gundulić square, dominated by a statue of one of the city’s most famous poets. The square is always busy, transforming itself like a chameleon many times throughout the day. The ‘green market’, as the locals call it, offers freshly picked produce and jars of homemade jams, pickles, and spices. Dubrovnik’s famous delicacies are: kotonjata (quince jelly), arancini (sugar-coated orange peel), bruštulani mjenduli (sugar-coated almonds), dried figs.

And as the final bell echoes across the city, endless flocks of seagulls glided down onto the market that was busy just until a few minutes earlier. The reason for this invasion: feeding time. The birds are fed from buckets full of corn whose contents are dispersed all over the square. The feeding frenzy lasts for just a few short minutes, and normality is restored. Every day, come rain or shine, the city’s pigeons are fed in Gundulić Square, always at the same time, paid for by the city council.

As the last feathers fly away, the square enters its afternoon phase, and the clink of coffee cups and the popping of wine corks can be heard as Dubrovnik’s alfresco lunchtime begins. The coolest drink around is the fresh water from the Onofrio water fountains, built in 1440 and designed by Onofrio della Cava.

Italian builders della Cava and Andreucio have two years earlier erected an unbelievable 11-km long aqueduct, bringing water to the city from the nearby Šumet and other forest springs outside the city walls. The two fountains remained the only source of potable water in the city for the following four centuries, and were considered so crucial to the functioning of the city that the punishment for contaminating water was cutting off of a hand.

We assume there weren’t that many attempts. The fountains today are among the most important symbols of the city, especially the Small fountain, right next to the Summer games stage. This event takes place every year from July 10 and August 25, and during those seven weeks of high summer, Dubrovnik gives its heart and soul to the Arts.

Cobbled streets, Baroque palaces and Renaissance piazzas set the magical setting for concerts and live theater performances. The locals have always been savvy merchants and had smart rulers made giving back to the city part of the city charter, which now reflects in the city’s architecture and cultural heritage.

What better way to get to know the culture and history of the country, city , or village you are visiting than exploring the artifacts, arts, and stories shown and told in their museums. The House of Marin Držić is undoubtedly one of the must-visit museums in Dubrovnik. Držić was a world-famous 16th-century playwright, poet, and one of the key authors of the European Renaissance comedy.

His works abound in clashes of the traditional and the modern, fiction and reality, the comic and the tragic, and are an important legacy to the whole European and world comedy scene. They were also somewhat controversial at the time, as he portrayed current events and political situations through comedy and railed against the authorities. In Držić’s honor and memory, his birth house – downtown in the Old Town, in Široka Street adjacent to the Domino Church- is now a museum dedicated to his life and works.

He was a man ahead of his time, and his literary works remain fresh and interesting today, so make sure you visit the museum and the museum shop, where you can find unique souvenirs like English translations of Držić’s books. At the same time smaller than Držić and equally as big is another art or trade honed to perfection by the locals: filigree. The tradition of spinning gold wire into minute jewelry still thrives, and locally made ‘rečini’ (earrings) or ‘puce’ (decorative buttons) you purchase in Dubrovnik will forever remind you of your time there.

Gold, silver and coral jewelry is fascinating for its timeless beauty and artistry, and the local design matches all fashion styles, traditional or modern. At their Old Town workshops, goldsmiths Vierda, Kraljević and Jurišić still manufacture the world-famous pieces using age-old methods. Another local artisan tradition still kept alive are barbershops. In this golden age of the barbershop revival, find old-fashioned atmosphere waiting for you at Placa 15 near Stradun.

As soon as you walk into the shop, you will find yourself fully absorbed in the fragrance of traditional soap, aftershave, various hair and face tonics, oils, neck powders, in this small, cozy, almost familiar atmosphere where friends share all the latest gossip. City beaches are always popular during the hot summer months, and the two with the best view of the Old Town are Banje i Sv. Jakov.

Kolorina lagoon is located between the fortress Lovrijenac and Gradac Park, local people call it Šulić according to the family whose house sits at the beach entrance. Mostly locals enjoy this beach, rare foreigners stray there, which is not a surprise since the entrance to the beach is not easy to find as it looks like a doorway of a private home.

The beach offers amazing vista towards the fortress Lovrijenac rising on the left side of the lagoon and the right side views amazing cliffs of the Gradac Park with intriguing stone houses of the artist Jagoda Buić at the foot of the cliffs.

If you want to cool down with the locals, you’ll have to go all the way to the isle of Lokrum , or to the Šunj beach at Lopud, where you can their summer water polo league, be it as a player, or one of the obsessed spectators. Or you can sail around Dubrovnik and discover beautiful Elaphiti islands .  When choosing a yacht in charter , you first need to decide whether you want to feel the meditative power of silence on board sailing boat and catamaran , or whether you appreciate speed and comfort, with interest to rent a motorboat or luxury yacht . After that, leave all the ‘details’ to us. We will pay special attention to all your needs, to select the boat up to your wishes, to feel safe and comfortable with the crew that will make your time special, organize provisioning and prepare the route that will leave you breathless!

If you find yourself in Dubrovnik mid-August, you should definitely go take a look at this unique demonstration of competitive spirit and adventurous approach to sports. The Wild League, as the call this recreational water polo league, is a summer league that gathers teams representing different Dubrovnik beaches. It has been an essential part of Dubrovnik’s summer tradition since 1949. It is more than a hobby, more than a pastime, more than a sport. It’s something that Dubrovnik men grew up with and something they gladly pass on to their kids.

Thoughtfully selected music, a rustic interior, fine indigenous food and a spacious terrace complimented with natural shade have all secured Sesame restaurant a high spot on the scale of top, Dubrovnik, fine dining establishments. Even though this gastro-paradise is located in the city centre, near Lovrijenac fortress and Danče beach, it is still relieved of the pulsating, tourist turmoil. Sesame used to be a gathering spot for bohemian souls of Dubrovnik, holding jazz parties at the weekends.

Today, it represents a cherished destination for domestic and foreign enthusiasts of good music, food and drink. Furthermore, the restaurant’s interior design boasts an elegant, museum-like ambience. Heirlooms, artefacts, antiquities, framed newspaper articles of yesteryear and photos of the Dubrovnik olden days adorn this lovely place.

Another hot spot enjoys the world’s bella vista – cliff-location, right above the sea surface with a clear view stretching across the Adriatic. At the end of the city’s alley-loop, behind the Dubrovnik cathedral, a miniature gateway in the city walls leads to the bar and the beach at the bottom.

If water polo isn’t your thing, take a stroll to the small soccer and basketball court smack in the heart of the city, crowned as the most beautiful court in the world by Architectural Digest. In Dubrovnik, savoring a cup of coffee can be a form of meditation – part of a relaxed Dalmatian way of being known as ‘fjaka’. Coffee is more than caffeine – it’s a traditional way of life. When meeting Dubrovnik locals, you will often hear ‘ajmo na kavu’ (let’s have a cup of coffee) – even though you may end up drinking something else – an invitation that involves chatting for hours and dressing nicely. So take a seat, enjoy your coffee and enjoy Dubrovnik .

Ride up to the top of the Mount of Srđ and enjoy the Old Town, the Adriatic Sea, nearby islands , and a coffee or cocktail. If you are a sunset lover, the golden hour would be your time to visit. Famous and free. Allegedly cursed. The place of stories, mysteries, and legends. Mother Nature has always reigned supreme here.

Untouched for centuries, Lokrum is a Nature Reserve and a Special Forest Vegetation Reserve, inhabited only by rabbits and peacocks introduced to the island in the 19th century by the Austrian archduke Maximilian. He also started an exotic botanical garden. Once home to Benedictine monks, this island was also a legendary haven for Richard the Lion Heart. Today Lokrum remains a sanctuary – a perfect, crowd-free summer getaway for the people of Dubrovnik.

Rocky beaches lead the way towards the virgin clear waters. A touch of history will leave you breathless with fortress Fort Royal, abandoned Benedictine monastery or a small botanical garden. Lokrum hosts Maximilian’s summer villa, built by the Habsburgs at the end of the 19.ct, becoming popular after serving as a scenario spot in the top serial The Game of Thrones.

Lokrum is an ideal spot for those who seek tourist-free zones providing an undisturbed private nest inside the bare rocks, naturists’ favourable destination. A genuine experience is also floating in the salty lake connected to the sea.

Answers to Your Queries

Dubrovnik is a living museum, a treasure of Baroque, Renaissance, and medieval churches and palaces. Coffeehouses on Stradun, a stroll along the city walls, a visit to the Rector’s Palace or performances during Dubrovnik Summer Games are must-do activities when visiting beautiful Dubrovnik.

We would say that spending 3 days in the Dubrovnik is the absolute minimum. You’ll spend at least 2 days just sight-seeing, 1 extra for museums, beaches and restaurants. If you want to stay longer, charter a yacht and sail to the Elaphiti islands.

High season in Croatia runs from June through August and is the most popular time to visit Dubrovnik. If you want to escape the crowd, April to mid-June and mid-September to mid-October are the best choices.

Welcome to a place where your toughest decision will be whether to start your day with a coffee or with a refreshing cocktail. The second hardest thing for us was checking out on Saturday. Thank you Ardura crew :)

Nicholas G.

Last summer we went on a family sailing trip on Ardura, which was the best experience and we have the best memories of each detail of the trip starting from the complete crew. They were all great and gave us all the best service 24 hours a day. They were always happy and willing to give us the best experience. I hope one day soon we shall be able to repeat this trip again.

Victoria I.

Our plan was to charter a motor yacht from Dubrovnik, but it wasn't available for our dates. Pjero helped us find an alternative, and we chartered the Acapella sailing yacht from Dubrovnik to Split. The yacht was brand new, and the trip and the service were outstanding. It was such a wonderful experience.

Thank you for the wonderful experience and smooth communication. Sara made the process painless, and I can not wait to visit Croatia again. Great experience with these guys!

We were two families and rented Nautitech 56 for a day in Dubrovnik. It was one of the greatest holidays. The captain was super friendly and attentive. We visited Elaphiti islands, went cave-diving, and had a great lunch on one of the islands. I give my best recommendations to Dubrovnik Charter and Pjero, the owner.

Timeless beauty, boundless exploring opportunities, and breathtaking architecture are the key embellishments of this island. Learn more

Dubrovnik, the “Pearl of the Adriatic” is one of Croatia’s most beautiful ancient coastal cities. Used as one of the primary filming locations for Game of Thrones, this city’s historic architecture and picturesque views make it one of Europe’s most popular vacation destinations. 12 Knots recommends this slice of the Adriatic for sailors of all experience levels. With its picturesque seas and tourist accommodations, you’ll have everything you need during your Dubrovnik yacht or catamaran charter.

In addition to bareboat rentals, 12 Knots also offers crewed excursions and an exclusive sailing school to ensure that each of our sailors is prepared for the open water. If you’d rather kick back and relax, choose one of our crewed charters and enjoy the sea without the hassle.

With over 600 sailing charters from which you choose, you are guaranteed to find the right fit with 12 Knots.

Sailing Conditions in Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is an idyllic place for beginner sailors to plan a charter vacation. The Adriatic Sea experiences year-round sunshine; warm waters; and strong, persistent northeast trade winds. During the summer season, the seas can reach temperatures of 20°C, or 68°F, which is perfect for afternoon swimming and water excursions. Warm seas can also affect wind patterns favorably for sailors.

Sailors near Dubrovnik can expect winds to fly from the south-west, in the direction of the lands. Forces typically range between Force 3 and Force 6, which provide great conditions for beginners. However, as you venture out into the Adriatic, you may experience more sudden changes in wind speed and force. This can pose a great challenge for experienced skippers.

Best Time to Vacation in Dubrovnik

One of the primary reasons that sailors love to visit Dubrovnik is for its beautiful scenery and historical richness. This city is one of the last of its kind standing in the Mediterranean from medieval times, and still holds relics from the past in its architectural style and natural beauty. While Dubrovnik offers stunning landscapes and modern entertainment year-round, the best time specifically for sailors to visit falls between April to September.

The summer months provide warm and mild temperatures for vacationing in Dubrovnik. While the temperatures from June to August are ideal, the coastal cities in Croatia are especially crowded. 12 Knots recommends booking your charter in late spring or early fall to ensure that you receive both the warm weather and less crowded streets. However, summer can be prime times for advanced sailors who don’t mind the busy waterways and want to enjoy the warmest seas.

Sailing Difficulty Level

The Adriatic Sea is a fantastic place for beginner sailors to experience the joy of sailing. The ideal winds and mild climate offer many pleasurable hours on the water. However, more advanced skippers may venture out of the coastal region to experience stronger Mistral winds. If you’d like to improve your sailing skills before venturing out into the Adriatic, you may wish to attend the 12 Knots sailing school. There are plenty of course options for absolute beginners, as well as intermediate and advanced sailors looking to strengthen their skillset.

Main Charter Bases

12 Knots offers a variety of yacht and catamaran charters in Dubrovnik and throughout the coastal area of Croatia. We offer rentals out of ACI Marina Dubrovnik, ACI Marina Slano and marinas in nearby Komolac and Gruž. Based on your budget and sailing experience, we can match you with a charter to best serve you during your vacation.

Boat Types for Charters

12 Knots offers over 616 crewed and bareboat yacht charters in Dubrovnik, Croatia. We recommend crewed charters for less experienced sailors to help them better navigate the waters and enjoy their experience. However, those who have attended the 12 Knots sailing school or have significant experience on the water may enjoy a bareboat charter to test their skills and enjoy more autonomy during their vacation. Some of our options include:

• Sailing yacht

Please visit our Dubrovnik booking page to find the right boat type and charter options for you.

Other Information

Dubrovnik is a popular European travel destination, not only for sailing but for the summer holiday. Dubrovnik is a safe and relatively affordable place to travel, especially if you choose a sailing charter with 12 Knots. While traveling to Croatia is easy for most international travelers, there are certain things you should know before planning your vacation:

• Official currency: Croatian Kuna (HRK)
• Entry Requirements: Citizens of European countries typically only require a passport valid during their trip to travel to Croatia. Non-European citizens will need a passport valid for three months after the planned date of departure and in some cases a visa.
• Best months to visit: April, May, September
• Average daily cost to visit Dubrovnik: 210KN - 384KN; $30-$60 USD
• Medical information: No vaccinations are required to visit Croatia, but those traveling should have a list of hospitals close by and check with the embassy to ensure that any prescription medications needed can be taken into the country.

Yacht charter in dubrovnik.

December 14, 2021

30 minute read

The beautiful city of Dubrovnik, also known as “The pearl of the Mediterranean”, is one of the most popular yacht charter destinations in the world. This charming Croatian city will make you fall in love with its history, culture and walls that speak of centuries-old stories. Moreover, when you start your yacht charter in Dubrovnik, you will benefit from a local crew who will be happy to tell you about interesting experiences in this city.

Dubrovnik is located in southern Croatia, divided from the rest of the country by Bosnia, so you will be able to visit two countries in just one day. Amazing, right? Near Dubrovnik, you can also visit the Elaphiti islands – a small archipelago with untouched nature, sandy beaches and crystal clear sea; the islands are mostly uninhabited and ideal for a yacht charter vacation.

During your yacht charter in Dubrovnik, you can enjoy various stunning beaches where you can swim, snorkel or sunbathe on the most beautiful European beach – Pasjača beach, according to the famous travel website European best destinations.

If you want to charter a yacht and the city of Dubrovnik is on your wishlist, keep reading…

WHY CHARTER IN DUBROVNIK

Dubrovnik is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it should be on everyone’s wish list. With its astonishing history and unsurpassed beauty, you will feel like a king in a castle, walking on high walls and through centuries-old streets. From your yacht charter, you can enjoy a stunning view of amazing fortresses; berth in the Old Town port and chit-chat with locals or anchor next to the mysterious island of Lokrum – located just a few minutes from the city.

I already mentioned the island of Lokrum, but during your yacht charter in Dubrovnik , you can easily visit 13 more beautiful islands that surround it. They are mostly uninhabited with immaculate nature, lovely lighthouses, old monasteries, botanical gardens, sandy beaches and much more .

For movie fanatics, a yacht charter in Dubrovnik is a real treat. Taking photos where Games of Thrones , Star Wars , Robin Hood and many more movies were filmed is amazing – you can play the role of a movie star for a day. Moreover, Dubrovnik is only 30 minutes from Montenegro and Bosnia so you will be able to visit these two countries with ease.

WHEN TO CHARTER IN DUBROVNIK

Whenever you want! Dubrovnik is a city with a typical Mediterranean climate, mild winters and warm and dry summers. Winters in Dubrovnik are pleasant, and the average daily temperature is around 10°C (50℉), but for a truly beautiful yacht charter in Dubrovnik, we recommend the months between April and November.

This period we can divide into three parts: The “Heart” of the season – July and August, the middle season – May, June and September and the low season – April and November.

The heart of the season is ideal for those who like to enjoy hot summers and busy cities. What is great is that you can always find a secluded bay with your yacht charter in Dubrovnik and enjoy 100% privacy, even on the busiest day of the year. Furthermore, during this period you will have the opportunity to attend the Dubrovnik Summer Festival – one of the most important cultural festivals in Croatia.

During the mid-season, beaches are not too crowded and the temperature is ideal for both kids and adults. The days are sunny and the sea temperature is perfect. For guests who do not like mingling too much, this is the perfect time for a yacht charter in Dubrovnik.

And the low season is when the temperatures are around 18 to 21°C (65 to 70 degrees °F) which are ideal for charter guests who do not prefer over-the-top weather conditions. Winds in Dubrovnik are mild and the sea is peaceful. This time of the year is amazing if you want to explore the real Dubrovnik and witness every street, cathedral and island in all their glory.

The best way to arrive to your yacht charter in Dubrovnik is by plane or a private jet. The well-connected Dubrovnik airport has a direct line from the USA, as well as from a lot of European cities. Furthermore, your yacht can wait for you in the small city of Cavtat which is just a few minutes away from the airport and a few minutes of cruising from Dubrovnik.

If you decide to come by car, you should ask your local broker – SuperYachts Croatia , to reserve a parking slot for you, since Dubrovnik is swamped by road traffic in the heart of the season. In addition, if you do not want to think about transport, SuperYachts Croatia will arrange everything for you – your plane, car and yacht will be waiting for you whenever you want.

Lokrum is the closest island to Dubrovnik, but some do not even consider it part of the Elafiti, while the island of Šipan is the largest island of the Elafiti, and also the furthest from Dubrovnik. You should visit Lopud and Koločep – two beautiful islands where you can spend the whole day with your yacht charter party. Palm trees and beautiful vegetation will delight both adults and kids.

Dubrovnik is full of dolphins so do not be surprised if you see one. Take advantage of your yacht charter’s water toys and try to spot a dolphin.

The Walls of Dubrovnik used to be a powerful defence system, but today they are a unique cultural and historical heritage of Dubrovnik . They are the biggest tourist attraction and the most popular part of the city. It is an even better experience when you can explore them in peace, with an easy walk alongside two kilometres of groomed trails, while also watching your magical yacht charter next to them.

The Walls are one of the most monumental fortifications in Europe, and the construction of the first fortresses began in the 8th century. More intensive construction lasted from the middle of the 15th to the end of the 16th century, and although they were hit by an earthquake in 1667, the walls were not damaged too much.

Historic walls surround the city in the shape of an irregular polygon, and you will be able to experience 16 towers and bastions, as well as a total of five fortresses: Micčeta, St.John, Bokar, Lovrijenac and Revelin. The unique and stunning Walls of Dubrovnik were recognized by UNESCO , which included them on the World Heritage List .

Visit the first Croatian underwater winery

Just a few years ago, the first underwater winery opened less than an hour north of Dubrovnik. The town of Drače on the Pelješac peninsula holds a long and rich culture of winemaking. There are also amazing cultural sights and a lot of natural beauty. You can visit from land or dive right in and explore the whole winery.

Furthermore, you will come across various surprising things, and certainly the most interesting is the old sunken ship in the Mali Ston bay. Here, you can buy a bottle of unique wine straight from an underwater winery and enjoy it during your yacht charter in Dubrovnik; it can be one of the best presents you can gift your friends back home.

Watch the sun kissing the walls and the sea from your yacht

Sunsets are a constant source of inspiration for poets, writers, romantics, but also yacht charter guests. Everyone likes them, especially if you can share them with your loved ones during your yacht charter in Dubrovnik. Sunsets around Dubrovnik are truly magical since you can follow the sun as it starts to slowly touch the Walls of Dubrovnik, kissing the sea and making way for the moon.

It is important to state that the most beautiful sunset views are from your yacht or the Srđ mountain . In addition, your private chef can always serve your dinner right before sunset so you can enjoy the spectacular view while tasting the best food ever.

Restaurant Kopun – in this restaurant, old Croatian recipes were handed down through centuries so you could sample authentic Dubrovnik cuisine, like Jacob’s caps with truffle cream or an amazing seafood stew. This is a place where guests want to come back over and over again.

While in Dubrovnik, you need to try the local dessert – Dubrovačka rožata , which is part of the gastronomic heritage of medieval Dalmatia and survived despite many influences from the Venetian and Ottoman Empires. The first records of the Dubrovačka rožata date back to the time of the Venetians, and in 1300 it was recorded under the name “friar’s pudding”.

The Venetians are long gone, but this dessert is still here, with traces of influences from French cuisine. It is a caramelized shell in which rožata is cooked and the main ingredient is a rose liqueur. But at the end of the day, your private chef can also prepare all the wonderful delicacies and specialities you sampled during your yacht charter in Dubrovnik.

OUR SUGGESTED SEVEN-DAY YACHT CHARTER IN DUBROVNIK

A yacht charter in Dubrovnik is once in a lifetime experience, especially with a local yacht broker who will show you the best spots known only to the local experiences, and create unique yachting experiences for you and your charter guests.

Day 1: Dubrovnik – Lokrum island

On the first day of your yacht charter in Dubrovnik, we recommend spending some time near the city of Dubrovnik, where you can explore its surroundings by yacht or on foot. This Pearl of the Adriatic will leave you speechless, thanks to its magical old town.

Moreover, you can anchor your yacht near the island of Lokrum and enjoy a magical view of Dubrovnik`s old town. You will be able to experience a picnic on Lokrum island, which is the perfect getaway place for Dubrovnik`s locals and their guests.

The island of Lokrum is declared a special reserve under the protection of UNESCO, with a botanical garden containing an enviable collection of eucalyptus and cactus, as well as beautiful gardens and parks. Walk slowly through the vegetation and refresh yourself in the shade of black ash or rest under the swaying treetops of Aleppo pine.

Moreover, this island has a salty lake in its centre, in which you can jump from a 10m high rock. This is a perfect Instagramable spot, with rare animal species like protected turtles and peacocks.

Day 2: Lopud island- Šipan island

Lopud is the most developed among the Elaphite Islands , a small archipelago containing several isles located northwest of Dubrovnik. It is also the second-largest in terms of size, while a favourable climate allows for nearly 2600 hours of sunshine each year.

A mild climate has led to the development of lush and rich Mediterranean and subtropical vegetation with lemons, oranges, pines, cypresses and palm trees. Your local yacht captain will want to take you to Šunj – a sandy beach considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the Croatian Adriatic sea. The sandy shoal of this beach stretches a few hundred meters from the shore, which makes the bay ideal for a family yacht charter in Dubrovnik.

Day 3: The Island of Šipan –  Pelješac peninsula

The biggest island of the Elaphite archipelago is Šipan, which is also listed in the Guinness Book of Records for the biggest ratio of olive trees to the population of its total area, is a must-see during your yacht charter in Dubrovnik.

A lot of people from Dubrovnik come to this magical island because of the astonishing restaurant Bowa, where you can berth your yacht and enjoy delicious food. This attractive restaurant is located right by the sea, with tables under the canopies set on charming oak and fir constructions which makes it an inviting place for a meal. Swim, sunbathe and have fun with your water toys while waiting for the food.

After lunch, we recommend a visit to the city of Ston on the Pelješac peninsula . The “City of Salt” will amaze you with its rich history and numerous attractions. As soon as you step into Ston, you will feel as if you have travelled back into the distant past; tradition is woven into every stone and building.

While spending time in Ston, visit the famous saltworks, one of the three saltworks in Croatia, and the oldest in Europe, dating back to the 14th century. It was formed after the Republic of Ragusa bought Ston in the year 1333. Ston was surrounded by defensive walls, which are a popular attraction and by length, second only to the Great Wall of China.

Moreover, if you opt for swimming, sunbathing or playing with water toys, we recommend you anchor in the famous Prapratno bay. This is one of the most beautiful bays in this part of Pelješac, with a long sandy beach in an area overgrown with pine forests.

Day 4 – Pelješac peninsula – Mljet National Park

The island of Mljet is the most forested of all the Croatian Adriatic islands, and unquestionably, one of the most attractive. It is perfect for enjoying the beauty of untouched nature that will enchant everyone who visits this enchanting isle. Mljet is an island of mystery, with rich forests, beautiful beaches and an incredibly blue sea, ideal for enjoying pristine nature.

You can ride an e-bike through the National Park or just enjoy an al-fresco dining experience on the Greenest Croatian island. Here, you can explore the Veliko lake, with an islet of St. Mary and a church and monastery founded in the 12th century by the Benedictines of Monte Gargano in Italy. Alternative targets for exploration also are the Malo lake and the Odysseus Cave .

Day 5 -Mljet National Park – Lastovo Island

A small and inhabited island, Lastovo is the perfect place for those looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday, in untouched and beautiful nature. Lastovo island has a mild Mediterranean climate and due to its good position, it has more than 2700 hours of sunshine a year.

Lastovo also has the starriest sky in Europe and if you embark on a yacht charter in Dubrovnik during the summer, you will be able to see one of the most beautiful astronomical phenomena – the Perseid meteor shower . Make a wish and enjoy this beautiful island.

For swimming and snorkelling, we recommend the Porto Rosso beach complemented with a nautical centre and a great restaurant, ideal for yacht charter guests. Lastovo also harbours one of the oldest lighthouses in the Croatian Adriatic.

Day 6: Island of Lastovo – Island of Korčula

You will feel as if you have stepped back in time when you arrive on the i sland of Korčula , which has been inhabited since prehistoric times. This is the sixth-largest island in Croatia and is truly worth visiting and exploring. The city of Korčula is surrounded by 13th-century walls and it is one of the best-preserved fortified medieval towns in Croatia.

Until the beginning of the 18th century, it was forbidden to build outside the city walls, and visitors entered via a wooden drawbridge. Another fun fact about Korčula is that Marco Polo , one of the world’s biggest historical travellers, was born on this island and spent his childhood in one of the houses that are still there.

Korčula is not only a historical place; it has a lot of stunning beaches and bays where you can spend your yacht charter vacation in Croatia peacefully. If you are ready for the perfect Instagram place – swing on a swing on Moro beach. If you prefer sandy beaches, seek out Vela Pržina and Bilin Žal. Finally, for one of the most beautiful islets in the world, according to the New York Times , visit Proizd – only a few minutes from Korčula.

If you are looking for a good restaurant on this amazing island, let your charter crew reserve a table in LD Terrace – a Michelin starred restaurant.

Day 7: Island of Korčula – City of Dubrovnik

On your last day,  cruise back from Korčula to Dubrovnik . You can always ask your yacht captain to stop on a stunning beach or an isolated bay for a swim or one last ride with some of the water toys. When you arrive back in Dubrovnik, your local broker at SuperYachts Croatia can arrange transportation to the airport for you or if you want to stay in Croatia – we can book another yacht to continue your perfect yacht charter vacation.
