Yacht Charter Dubrovnik Highlights
ACI Komolac
The river base, provisioning and a calm first night before you exit to the open coast.
Lopud and the Elaphiti
The short-hop islands that make a Dubrovnik week. Town quays and swimming bays.
Mljet National Park
Pines, salt lakes and rules. Buy the ticket and treat Polace or Pomena as planned nights.
Sipan for a quieter night
The larger Elaphiti island when Lopud is full and you still want a short hop.
Korcula when settled
In reach on a kind week. A booked wall, not a walk-up plan in August.
Old Town as a visit
The reason for the flight. Not a bareboat start harbour for the usual fleet.
Dubrovnik Sailing Itinerary
A 7-day Lopud to Dubrovnik loop
Lopud, the Elaphiti and Komolac make a south Dalmatian week: short island hops, park nights on Mljet when booked, and a return to the river base.
View Day-by-DayA Dubrovnik yacht charter puts you in South Dalmatia: Old Town approaches, Elaphiti hops and the route toward Mljet and Korcula. Most fleets base at ACI Dubrovnik, Komolac or Cavtat. Compare start harbours in our Dubrovnik charter bases guide.
Summer is warm and busy. Old Town walls and popular island harbours fill early, and border formalities matter if you tip toward Montenegro. Shoulder months often feel easier for first South Dalmatia weeks.
From bareboats to skippered catamarans and crewed yachts, we match you to the right platform for Dubrovnik and the southern Croatian islands.

Dubrovnik Yacht Charter Types
In Dubrovnik you can hire a monohull sailing yacht, a catamaran, or a motor yacht. Bareboat and skippered weeks are the usual products; crewed and by-the-cabin options appear on the busier coasts. Pick the boat type that matches the group, then we shortlist fleets that actually sit in that base.
Bareboat
- You skipper, we shortlist the right size and base
- ICC or Day Skipper checked before you pay a deposit
- Lower weekly cost than skippered or crewed
- Your route, your timetable
Skippered
- Local skipper for the river exit and the Elaphiti walls
- No licence required
- Stern-to and harbour work handled
- Learn the week without owning the risk
Catamaran
- Shade, space and a level platform
- Shallower draft for skinny calas and banks
- The usual family and group choice
- Two hulls, more cabin privacy
Crewed Luxury
- Captain, and usually a host or chef
- You choose the noise level and the nights in
- Meals, toys and formalities handled
- The week is a stay, not a campaign

Yacht Charter Dubrovnik FAQs
Bareboat in Croatia usually needs an ICC or equivalent plus VHF (SRC) and recent experience. Skippered and crewed weeks do not require you to skipper. We confirm the operator's paperwork before booking.
May to October is the main season. June and September often balance warm water with slightly easier berthing than peak July and August.
A mid-size monohull week often sits in the low-to-mid thousands of euros in shoulder season; peak weeks and catamarans cost more. Fuel, tourist tax, marina fees and optional skipper sit on top.
Yacht use for the week, standard inventory and contractual insurance. Fuel, tourist tax, overnight fees, food and optional crew are usually extras.
Most weeks start at ACI Dubrovnik, Komolac or Cavtat. See the Dubrovnik charter bases page for harbour-by-harbour notes.
Bareboat suits crews comfortable with Adriatic harbour approaches and busy peak weeks. Skippered is ideal for first Croatia weeks or mixed-experience groups.
Old Town is a highlight stop more than a Saturday base. If you sail toward Montenegro, plan clearance formalities before you leave Croatia.
Yes. A classic week covers the Elaphiti, Mljet and a Korcula approach without racing every landmark. Keep distances realistic and book popular harbours early.
