Catamaran charter Croatia from Dubrovnik — Mljet National Park, Elaphite Islands, Korčula & Lastovo. Bareboat or crewed Lagoon, Bali & Fountaine Pajot fleet.
Catamaran charter Croatia from Dubrovnik
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.
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.
Catamaran charter from Dubrovnik — south Dalmatia gateway
A Dubrovnik catamaran charter is one of the most popular ways to explore the Croatian coast. Modern marinas, sheltered island channels, reliable afternoon Maestral wind, and an island-dense coastline make this region ideal for both first-time skippers and seasoned sailors. With two hulls, you anchor closer to shore in shallow coves and step from the swim platform straight into water clear enough to read your watch.
Our catamaran charter Croatia fleet from Dubrovnik includes the full range of modern multihulls — Lagoon, Bali, Fountaine Pajot, Leopard, and Privilege — available bareboat (with a recognised skipper licence), skippered (we add a captain for the week), or fully crewed with hostess or chef. Whether you're mapping a relaxed family week through the Pakleni Islands or a longer Adriatic crossing, our local team builds the route, books the marina-park permits, and stays on call throughout the charter.
Top sailing routes from Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is the southernmost Croatian charter base — perfect for a one-way Split → Dubrovnik delivery, or as a launchpad for the Elaphites, Lastovo, and Mljet. Most charters depart from ACI Marina Komolac in the Rijeka Dubrovačka inlet (about 10 minutes from the Old Town). A typical seven-day catamaran charter Croatia from Dubrovnik visits Šipan and Lopud (Elaphite Islands) on day one, crosses to Mljet National Park for two nights at Polače or Pomena, swings west to Korčula Town for the night-life and Marco Polo's birthplace, and returns via the Pelješac wine villages of Trpanj and Trstenik. Time-rich crews extend west to Lastovo Island — Croatia's most remote inhabited archipelago, with one of the darkest night skies in the Adriatic.
Mljet's two interconnected saltwater lakes are the star attraction. Anchor in the protected bay of Polače, hike or rent bikes to circle the Veliko Jezero, and tender to the 12th-century Benedictine monastery on a tiny islet in the middle of the lake. Park entry permits are mandatory and time-priced — our Dubrovnik team books them with your charter so you don't lose half a day at the office. South Dalmatia rewards catamarans more than any other boat: shallow Mediterranean coves like Ston, Šunj on Lopud, and the southern Pakleni-style anchorages along Mljet's south shore become accessible where deeper-keeled monohulls have to stay further out.
Marinas, customs & provisioning around Dubrovnik
ACI Marina Komolac is the primary base — well-equipped, fuel and provisioning on site, and a reliable handover point for one-way charters from Split. If you're crossing into Montenegro for a Boka Kotorska detour, complete customs clearance at Cavtat on the way south (it's a designated port of entry/exit). Note that one-way charters from Split to Dubrovnik typically carry a relocation fee of €450–€800 depending on the operator and week — our team negotiates the best rate when booking. Dubrovnik Old Town's restaurants are walking-distance once you're moored in Komolac; a taxi-boat or short Uber gets you to the Stradun in 15 minutes.
Best time for a Dubrovnik catamaran charter
South Dalmatia's microclimate is two to three weeks ahead of Split in spring and lags similarly in autumn. Late May to early October is the practical sailing window. Peak weeks (15 July – 20 August) require six-to-nine-month advance booking; shoulder season (June, September) hits the best balance of warm sea (22–25°C), reliable Maestral, and 25–40% lower rates than peak. October still offers warm-enough swimming and uncrowded anchorages — Mljet practically empties after the first week of October.
What to expect on a Dubrovnik catamaran charter
Dubrovnik routes are quieter and more nature-focused than Split routes. Expect more time at anchor, fewer marina nights, and longer evenings ashore at family-run village konobas where a peka of slow-cooked octopus arrives with local Plavac Mali wine. The catamaran charter Croatia experience from Dubrovnik suits couples, families with older children, and crews who want UNESCO history paired with off-the-beaten- track sailing. A 4-cabin catamaran is the right size — the south is less marina-dense than central Dalmatia, so the on-board space matters more on long lunch days at anchor.
