Where do yachts depart from in Dubrovnik?

Most charters depart from ACI Marina Dubrovnik, located just 3 km south of the Old Town, offering direct access to the Adriatic and nearby islands. This marina provides secure moorings, fuel, water, electricity, and on-site amenities for a smooth start to your journey. Some private charters may also use the Port of Dubrovnik quays near the city center, especially for day trips or crewed excursions.

What islands and anchorages can I reach on a day trip from Dubrovnik?

A day trip from Dubrovnik easily covers the Elaphiti Islands—Koločep, Šipan, and Lopud—known for their quiet beaches, pine forests, and charming villages. You can also anchor in the sheltered coves of Dubrovnik Riviera, such as Sušac Bay or Mljet Bay, where the water is calm and ideal for swimming. The nearby Lokrum Island offers a nature reserve with a historic monastery and peacocks roaming freely.

When is the best sailing season in Dubrovnik?

The sailing season in Dubrovnik runs from April to October, with peak conditions in July and August when the weather is warm and the seas are calm. For quieter beaches and fewer tourists, consider sailing in April-May or September-October, when temperatures remain pleasant and the Adriatic is still inviting. Winter months are generally not recommended for sailing due to cooler temperatures and unpredictable winds.

What licence or skipper rules apply for chartering in Croatia?

In Croatia, bareboat charters require a valid sailing licence recognized by the Croatian authorities, such as an ICC, RYA, or equivalent national certificate. If you lack a licence, you must hire a professional skipper, which is readily available through most charter companies in Dubrovnik. All vessels must also carry a VHF radio and display the Croatian flag while in national waters.

How do I get to Dubrovnik for my yacht charter?

The nearest airport is Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), located about 20 km from ACI Marina Dubrovnik, with a transfer time of roughly 30 minutes by car or shuttle. Most international flights connect via Zagreb, Split, or major European hubs, and charter companies often offer pre-arranged transfers for convenience. Once in Dubrovnik, the marina is easily accessible from the city center and airport via short road trips.
