Unforgettable yachting holidays in Dubrovnik area
Dubrovnik is the southern hub for catamaran charter in Croatia. Board in ACI Dubrovnik in Komolac or in Gruž. Cavtat works well for quick arrivals. Short hops suit families. First stops are the Elafiti Islands. Longer legs reach Mljet, Korčula, and Lastovo. Expect clear water, stone towns, and a UNESCO Old City.
Choose bareboat or a crewed catamaran. Our local team plans routes, moorings, and restaurant stops. Summer brings a steady Maestral in the afternoon. Watch for Jugo from the south in shoulder months. Bora can blow strong from the northeast. We brief safe harbors and weather plans. Book berths in high season and arrive early.

What you can expect to see
Elafiti Islands and Lokrum
Sail to Koločep, Lopud, and Šipan for easy first days. Swim at Šunj on Lopud, a wide sandy bay with good holding. Pick up a mooring in Luka Šipanska for a calm night and seaside konobas. Sudurad works for a short stop and a stroll. Make a daytime swim stop near Lokrum, then visit Dubrovnik Old Town by taxi boat from the city port. Respect local rules and no-overnight areas around Lokrum. Plan arrivals by early afternoon when the breeze builds.
Mljet National Park
Head to Mljet for green forests, lakes, and quiet anchorages. Anchor or take a buoy in Polače for top shelter. Pomena gives you park access and short walks. Buy park tickets at the kiosk or online before you go. Cycle around the salt lakes and visit the islet of St Mary with its monastery. On the south side, visit Odysseus Cave when seas are calm. Evening is peaceful, with glassy water and starry skies.
Korčula and Lastovo
Sail the Pelješac Channel toward Korčula Town and its famous walls. Expect a stronger afternoon breeze in the channel. Stop in Račišće or Vela Luka for a quieter feel. Cross to Pelješac for Lovište or Kobaš, both with moorings and good seafood. If you have time, continue to Lastovo Nature Park for deep bays and clear water. Zaklopatica and Skrivena Luka offer shelter, simple services, and a slow island rhythm. This leg brings a mix of culture, sailing fun, and off-grid coves.
