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 yacht charter in Dubrovnik is a south Dalmatian week: the Elaphiti Islands, Mljet and a river start at ACI Komolac. The Old Town is why people fly here. The sailing happens outside it.
This page is the booking layer. For winds, islands and mooring notes, use our Dubrovnik sailing guide. For central Dalmatia, see Yacht Charter Split. For the wider coast, start on Yacht Charter Croatia.
Bareboat works if you already Mediterranean-moor and can handle more open water than the Split channels. If the group is here for the wall and swimming, a skipper for the week is the honest product. We will not sell a first bareboat into a bura forecast on this coast.
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 bases want an ICC, RYA Day Skipper Practical or an equivalent, plus a CV. Croatian bases also want the vignette in order. We confirm the pair before you pay a deposit.
ACI Marina Dubrovnik at Komolac, up the river. The Old Harbour is not the bareboat start for the usual fleet. Provision upriver, then sail out.
Plan on about EUR 2,300 in spring and autumn, EUR 3,400 in June and September, and EUR 4,800 in July and August for a mid-size monohull, before extras. We quote more than one fleet on the same Saturday.
As a one-way, yes, if both bases agree and you pay the fee. A return Elaphiti and Mljet loop is the cleaner first Dubrovnik week.
Split or Trogir is usually kinder. Dubrovnik suits skippers who already Mediterranean-moor, or groups on a skippered week who want the Old Town and the Elaphiti.
