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.

Cost of boat rental in dubrovnik.

The prices for yacht charters in Dubrovnik are closely tied to the weather and sailing conditions throughout the year. They tend to be at their lowest in March, corresponding to the low season, and reach their peak in July when demand is high and sailing conditions are optimal.

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 safe and relatively affordable place to travel, especially if you choose a sailing charter with 12 Knots.

Keep in mind for your Dubrovnik yacht rental trip

We have a few tips for you as you book your yacht rental Dubrovnik, Croatia from the best time of year to rent a boat to the closest airport to the best things to do in the city before you set sail on your adventure. As you plan your trip, try to book far enough in advance to be able to select your choice of rental, as many boats can get booked up as popular travel dates approach. 

We recommend to hire a boat Dubrovnik, Croatia in the spring and late summer and avoiding the peak season of July and August. Even though the weather is nice and warm during that time of year, tourism peaks in the middle of summer, so you may want to book a trip for April, May, June, September, or October, so you can experience the beautiful weather and calm waters without the hustle and bustle of crowded cruise ports and a high population of tourists. Dubrovnik has always been known to be a wonderful city to visit in Croatia, but it has grown in popularity in recent years with an influx of cruise ship stops and even more visitors who know the city as the filming location for HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” So keep in mind tourism patterns when deciding when to book. 

Before you embark on your one-week boat hire in Dubrovnik, take some time to explore the beauty and attractions of the city itself. Because you can fly directly into Dubrovnik, there are no limitations to what you can get up to before you board your yacht. Spend a day or two meandering the historic city streets, feasting on local fare , and embracing the beauty of the coast from just about anywhere. 

One-week Croatia itinerary from Dubrovnik

There are so many reasons to rent a boat from Dubrovnik when planning your Croatia sailing vacation, from the city’s reputation as a popular destination for celebrities around the world to its convenient location amid the beautiful and fun sites the rest of the Dalmatian coast has to offer. As you set course, be sure to stop in the nearby Green Cave and Blue Cave for kayaking and snorkeling before embarking on the rest of your trip. From Dubrovnik, sail to Sipan on the first day of your trip, and arrive early enough to have time for some swimming in the island’s gorgeous bays. Over the course of your weeklong adventure, set course for each of these beautiful destinations every day: Mljet National Park on the island of Polace, the Lastovo Archipelago for swimming and snorkeling around the reefs and sea caves, historic sites and delicious food in Korcula, the photo-worthy landscape of Pomena, and Peljesac for wine tasting with breathtaking views of Kobas Bay. After exploring the Dalmatian coast, stop to swim in the waters off the island of Lopuc before you make it back to Dubrovnik.

My family and I had a wonderful experience!! Paula was super helpful making sure my reservation was accurate and helped me with and issues I had after booking regarding changing the dates and times for the boat. She even arranged last minute pick up and drop off since our car couldn’t fit everyone!! Ante, our skipper, was an amazing guide. He listened to our requests, provided drinks, and was a pleasure to have on the boat as we island hopped. 10/10 would recommend and go again (we booked two more charters!)

We hired a private boat today for 2 adults and 1 toddler. We had such an amazing day. The skipper Nedo was so friendly and professional, we can’t recommend him enough. We hired the quicksilver boat and it was beautiful, it’s definitely worth paying a bit extra for it. We were nervous about taking our 2 year old on board but Nedo was very accommodating. Really pleased with the service. Thanks so much.

The city of Dubrovnik is a monument in itself as a whole. About 30 years ago, UNESCO recognized the value of Dubrovnik. The Dubrovnik Republic lasted until 1808 and was the most glorious period of the Dubrovnik history, which perfected the city and its life through its Statutes and other historical documents. Aci marina Komolac is located near the town of Dubrovnik and has about 300 berths.

What awaits you in Dubrovnik?

The villa of Petar Sorkočević from 1521, with its Renaissance arcades on the ground floor and Gothic monophores and triforas upstairs certainly dominates the lower part of the bay in Komolac where the ACI marina is located. No wonder the Sorkocevic family chose this location back in the 16th century for their summer residence because of all the benefits this place has to offer. The natural protection, the abundance of fresh water at the mouth of the Omble River make Komolac an ideal place for a new group of people - boaters.

Yacht charter in Dubrovnik is a good idea!

It is located ACI Marina Dubrovnik with its 425 berths in the sea and 140 places on land. What will surely delight you is the beautiful setting you will find yourself in. You are surrounded by picturesque hills that close the bay on all sides, you are surrounded by greenery all the time, and the facilities at your disposal make sure you do not hurry to leave the marina. However, you are close to Dubrovnik, one of the most beautiful cities in the world , so it would be a pity not to visit this jewel of the Mediterranean. As a boater who does not have his own transport here, there is a bus every 15 minutes that will take you downtown without the hassle of parking. Of course, there is a taxi, the choice is yours.

Of course, you do not have time to see all the wonders that this city has to offer, so this time you decide to take an easy stroll around Stradun, ice cream or coffee somewhere you like along the way. One of the nicer places to choose in these circumstances is the famous Buza, a place at the foot of the southern walls of the city, on the very cliffs. Coffee, beautiful views, a short swim from the rocks, waving cruisers in the aisle - a natural stress eliminator. After that, walk to the old port, Stradun and rest at Onofrio's fountain with the sounds of traditional Konavle rock instruments.

During these months, the northern wind Bora blows enough to chill your senses in the evening. Still, it remains calm enough to allow you to relax, swim and have a unique holiday. 

Our Team will propose the best route for the day and will instruct you with everything you need to know about rent a boat without a skipper in Dubrovnik. Our suggestions will keep you safe throughout the whole day while providing you with some great local tips and locations. We believe this is the best way to completely relax and indulge in a beautiful Adriatic with complete privacy.

Discover the Dubrovnik coast on your own

The tradition of tourism, as well as the climatic and geographical diversity, have marked the development and quality of Croatian gastronomy. Croatian wines are excellent and something not to miss. We especially recommend Plavac and Plavac Mali from Peljesac region, Dinač, Postup and Dubrovačka Malvasija. Thanks to Croatia’s strong cultural footprint, you can easily find many dishes and specialities from the coast, islands and inland as well.

Croatia is the ideal destination for strolling through medieval towns, streets and small alleys. It is great for discovering museums and restaurants. But, a bareboat charter in Dubrovnik is the best for exploring the vast coastline. Dubrovnik is the home to two charming marinas, including ACI Marina Dubrovnik and Marina Frapa. ACI Marina Slano is not far away from Dubrovnik, but one of these marinas will definitely meet your expectations for a bareboat charter in Dubrovnik.

“We had a wonderful day on the boat! We went to see the caves near Dubrovnik where we were able to swim. Then we had the chance to visit some islands (Lopud, Kalamota, Dipan) where we had some free time to discover them by ourselves/to eat and drink.

The skipper was very nice and funny and the boat was very confortable. Would definitely do it again and highly recommend it!”

Explore the history of Dubrovnik

Did you know that the historic name for Dubrovnik is Ragusa? The story behind it stems from the time when the prehistoric settlements in the area of what was then called Laus were destroyed by Slavs who were invading the area. Under Slavic rule the name first changed from Laus to Raus and later to Ragusa. Don’t get mixed up though, Ragusa and Dubrovnik were not the same place. Ragusa was located off of the mainland and only became part of Dubrovnik later on. Dubrovnik was founded around the same time that Raus became Ragusa. The name Dubrovnik comes from the word ‘dubrava’ meaning wood or ‘dub’ which means oak. Some historians are suspicious of the theory that Dubrovnik was only founded back then and believe that the city flourished from a Greek settlement that has been here before. The City Walls of Dubrovnik are one of the most impressive sights to see in the city.

The old town of Dubrovnik is an impressive remnant of the 13th century and basically hasn’t changed since then - at least what remained since the earthquake in 1667 destroyed part of the old town and what tolls the city took in the Yugoslawian war of 1991/1992. Stradun is one of the streets that has been rebuilt after the earthquake and hasn’t changed much since. Stroll around the city’s streets to travel back in time. Even though Venice ruled over the city for a while the city remained a republic in its own right until Napoleon entered the city.

The Minceta Tower is an impressive fort that was built in the 15th century. You should visit this building for the history as well as the views and if you’re a “Game of Thrones”-fan. Another impressive fortress that remains from the 15th century is Bokar Fortress .

Discover mystical Dubrovnik

Legend has it that the island of Mljet which is located just off the coast of Dubrovnik is the place where Odysseus fell for the nymph Calypso after being shipwrecked on the island in the midst of a terrible storm and she bewitched him. He stayed here for seven long years before finally being able to return home.

What type of boat is best for sailing in Dubrovnik?

What type of boat you should rent in Dubrovnik highly depends on the type of boat holiday you would like to experience in this part of the Adriatic sea.

Rent a catamaran in Dubrovnik

Pros of renting a catamaran in Dubrovnik

One of the advantages of renting a catamaran in Dubrovnik is the fact that catamarans have a shallow draft. This makes them the perfect choice to explore the Adriatic coast with all its hidden and secluded bays and beaches. You won’t risk hitting something deep under water.

Another advantage of chartering a catamaran in Dubrovnik is the fact that catamarans are equipped with sails as well as motors. You get the best of both worlds. Sail with the winds when they are blowing and use the motor when they suddenly stop blowing. This ensures that you won’t suddenly get stuck in the middle of the sea with no means to drive to your destination.

If you prefer to have a very relaxed sailing vacation in Dubrovnik, you should rent a catamaran because of its size. They are more spacious than other types of boats and can feel more like a hotel room than a boat cabin.

One of the most popular catamarans to rent in Dubrovnik is Catamaran Lagoon 400 S2 which offers space for up to 11 people and can be chartered with or without a captain. Hiring a captain in addition to your bareboat charter means that you can enjoy your sailing vacation fully without having to worry about navigating and operating your boat. The catamaran also comes with a deck shower, meaning that you can rinse off the sea water right after climbing back on board.

Cons of renting a catamaran in Dubrovnik

One of the downsides of renting a catamaran in Dubrovnik can be their size. While it might be extremely comfortable to have a proper room to sleep in, the size of a catamaran might come with difficulties of mooring at the marinas, especially during the busy summer months. It might also come with a higher price. Try to find a quiet bay instead to anchor for the night. It will save you a lot of hassle and money - and comes with much better views when waking up in the morning.

Lake Michigan Boating Guide

Table of Contents

Last Updated on August 23, 2024 by Boatsetter Team

With over 1,600 miles of coastline to explore, Lake Michigan can’t be beat for gunkholing, cruising, and sailboat racing. One of the five Great Lakes, this giant body of water is over 300 miles long, has more than 22,000 square miles of surface area, and borders four sates so there’s always somewhere to go and somewhere to rent a boat with a sharing service like Boatsetter. From Indiana to Chicago and Milwaukee to Mackinac, there are dozens of secluded anchorages, state parks, and charming waterfront towns to visit.

Where to Go

You could spend years of summers exploring all that Lake Michigan offers but if you have just a few days of boat rental each season, consider checking out some of these destinations.

Grand Traverse Bay is well-protected and generally calm even if Lake Michigan itself is less so. Learn about Ernest Hemmingway who was from the area or explore the town of Charlevoix that is split in two by a canal which leads to Round Pond and Lake Charlevoix. Bring or rent bikes and ride the 26-mile Little Traverse Wheelway for some exercise.

Visit scenic Door County in Wisconsin on the lake’s western shore. The Door County Lighthouse Festival is popular as are July 4 th fireworks in Egg Harbor. And you don’t want to miss the Sturgeon Bay Harvest Festival in late September. Harbor hopping in this area can’t be beat.

Beaver Island is the opposite of busy Mackinac. This remote island is 35 miles from Charlevoix on the mainland and tends to be a quiet respite with an unpretentious municipal dock and fun toy museum. The beaches are pristine and you won’t want to miss the Whiskey Point Lighthouse and the Beaver Head Lighthouse for their spectacular views. Check the weather before crossing from the mainland so you don’t get caught in 30-mile winds which are not uncommon here.

Activities & Highlights

Whether you’re in Milwaukee, Chicago, or Door County, there’s much to do during the summer including live music, wine tastings and art festivals. One big draw is the Chicago Air & Water Show that takes place in August and on a boat, you’ll have front row seats to the action. Another can’t miss event is the Playpen boat party which is like a giant tailgate party for boaters that draws in excess of 800 boats in late July.

There are also sailing regattas like the famous “Mac” race that runs from the Chicago Yacht Club to Mackinac Island. This race takes place in July, is over 300 miles long, and over 125 years old. Join the sailboat send off in Chicago or welcome them at the finish line at the island and partake of all the activities and celebrations on both sides of this classic event.

Lake Michigan is long and it can build up seriously large waves when a northerly wind runs along its entire length. Always check the weather before departing, especially if you’ll be boating farther south around Chicago where the weather and sea state can get gnarly. Freshwater forms steeper waves than saltwater because it’s less dense and running into a wall of square waves is no fun.

It can also get very cold in winter with temps below freezing in January near the Windy City. Target to rent a boat in the area from May to October but be ready to change course or cruising plans, especially in spring and fall when the weather may be iffy. Dress appropriately, bring lots of layers, pack flashlights in case you’re caught out after dark, and don’t forget some extra food and water.

Rules & Regulations

There are a few things to know before you untie the dock lines. Like in most other states, the Coast Guard requires all children under 13 to wear a lifejacket when aboard a vessel under way, and there must be a sufficient number of PFDs for the rest of the people aboard as well. You as the operator, cannot bring the boat within 150 feet of a person in the water for safety reasons – unless you’re participating in watersports.

Also, Lake Michigan is located in its entirety within the United States which means there are no check-in requirements for Canadian immigration or customs. You’ll have a bureaucracy-free run of the whole lake.

Serious Boating

Just because it’s called a lake doesn’t mean you should take it less seriously than coastal boating on the ocean. The Great Lakes are massive bodies of water and Lake Michigan can be nearly 200 miles across so it will take some time to traverse. Be boating savvy and prepared. All this said, there are great anchorages, wonderful beaches, and much to do on its shores so book a boat and have fun all summer long
