Dubrovnik Yacht Charter

• ACI Marina Dubrovnik, located on the Rijeka Dubrovačka inlet just north of the old town, is the main charter base for Dubrovnik. It offers full berthing services, fuel, water and easy access to the airport and city centre.

• Gruž Harbour, in central Dubrovnik, is sometimes used as a secondary departure point for crewed yachts and gulets. Its in-town location is convenient for guests staying in the city before boarding.

• Cavtat Harbour, south of Dubrovnik and very close to the airport, is a strong alternative for guests planning a calmer, lower-key start to their charter holiday.

The route below is designed as a sample plan for a yacht charter holiday departing from Dubrovnik. The actual itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, yacht type, availability and guest expectations.

Day 1: ACI Marina Dubrovnik — Šipan (Elaphiti Islands) | Approx. 12 NM

A short cruise from the marina brings you to Šipan, the largest of the Elaphiti Islands, ideal for a peaceful first night.

Day 2: Šipan — Mljet (Pomena / Polače) | Approx. 18 NM

Mljet National Park offers protected forests, salt lakes and beautiful sheltered bays — one of the highlights of South Dalmatia.

Day 3: Mljet — Korčula | Approx. 22 NM

Korčula’s medieval old town, often called "little Dubrovnik", is a strong stop for an evening ashore.

Day 4: Korčula — Lastovo | Approx. 20 NM

Lastovo is one of the most remote and pristine islands in Croatia, offering nature-focused anchorages and crystal-clear water.

Day 5: Lastovo — Vela Luka / Pelješac | Approx. 18 NM

A return swing along the Pelješac peninsula offers wineries, traditional villages and quiet swimming stops.

Day 6: Pelješac — Šipanska Luka / Lopud | Approx. 18 NM

Lopud and Šipanska Luka offer relaxed final-night anchorages with sandy beaches and traditional tavernas.

Day 7: Lopud — ACI Marina Dubrovnik | Approx. 12 NM

On the final day, the route returns to Dubrovnik. Depending on weather and timing, a short swim stop can be planned on the way back.
