Motor Boat Charter in Dubrovnik

Why Choose Dubrovnik for a Motor Boat Charter?

1. A Week of Great Sailing

It is no wonder that Croatia has become one of the most popular crewed and bareboat yacht charter destinations, with the berths in any marina in Split, or each Croatian island, being full for most summer months with motor boats, motor yachts, and catamarans with cabins full of sailors. Dubrovnik is also the centre of activity, with a great price available for your yacht charter in ACI Marina Dubrovnik. Once you and your guests leave the city, the tranquil blue waters will make a yacht, catamaran, or motorboat charter feel like paradise and luxury. Sunshine is nearly guaranteed every day in this region of the Adriatic, no matter what week you charter your yacht between April and October, with temperatures reaching the high twenties most days. Winds in this time in Croatia tend to be steady (10 – 20 knots) and perfect for a day on your motor boat hire. Your optional skipper (should you choose a crewed motor yacht) will give you up to date weather details, as will ACI Marina Dubrovnik.

2. Dubrovnik – A Town of Immense History

Apart from perhaps Split, there is no city in Croatia that is as distinctive and memorable as Dubrovnik. Anyone who has a passion for history, architecture, and culture will adore the rich details of this yacht charter destination. Dock you motor boat in the marina and explore the historical landmarks which render Dubrovnik so iconic. The Franciscan Monastery is a grand affair, with the oldest operating pharmacy operating here. The exquisite gardens offer a tranquil recluse for a day trip should you want a break during your week of sailing. A city which is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site is a truly remarkable destination for a motor boat holiday. If you want to keep price to a minimum, simply wandering through the streets and to view the little nooks and crannies of quaint alleys and picturesque laneways is an ideal way to spend the day. Of course, those who charter a boat here and are fans of Game of Thrones will revel in walking in the King’s Landing landscape! No better way to spend the day before returning to the cabins in your yacht for an evening in the berths.

3. Sailing to Islands Nearby Dubrovnik

Croatia is a country made up of over 1000 islands in the Adriatic Sea, which you and your guests can explore on a yacht charter. One such island, Lokrum Island, is located just 15 minutes from the city of Dubrovnik, rendering it an ideal destination to spend a day on your boat. Leave your cabins early and sail your motor boat to this beautiful green paradise, with history and nature competing for dominance. From the monastery dating back centuries, to the abundance of flora and fauna which call this place home, this is an extremely unique corner of Croatia. The “dead sea” is also found here, perfect for a swim after a long sail from Dubrovnik on your yacht charter. Your skipper can point you in the best directions for a tanning session. Unfortunately, there are no overnight stays allowed here, meaning there are no berths for your motor boat. But the return trip from the islands to Dubrovnik is quick, so it is a small price to pay to view and explore one of the most stunning locations in Croatia.

When Should I Charter a Yacht in Dubrovnik?

With such a large window for sailing during the year, you can charter a yacht or motor boat any time between April and September in Dubrovnik. Be aware of the high season in July and August, when the berths in marinas tend to fill up and the price can be a little more expensive, especially for luxury boats and those of a longer length. Both crewed yachts and any bareboat rental tend to sell out fast too in these months, so be sure to get the details from the website. Shoulder months tend to be more appealing for many people who wish to charter in Dubrovnik, as there are less crowds in the city and sailing is a more pleasurable experience. Why not consider a boat hire in September? The weather in Croatia at this time of year is still enviable, the sea temperatures are warmer, and there are usually more spaces in the marina. Spend the day exploring the best cities of Croatia, including Dubrovnik and Split (or view a nearby island), and by night you and your guests can enjoy the vibrant nightlife before returning to your cabins.

How to reach my motor yacht charter in ACI Marina Dubrovnik?

If you charter a boat in Dubrovnik, it will more than likely be from ACI Marina Dubrovnik, which has ample berths for a range of yachts, catamarans, and luxury motor boats. Luckily, it is one of the most accessible destinations in Croatia. International routes from Paris, London, and other European destinations operate throughout the week, increasing in frequency during the day in the middle of high season. Once you reach the city of Dubrovnik, which is 20km from the airport, you can head straight to your cabins and unpack your luggage to get started on your sailing adventure. If you want the best value for your trip, try a yacht charter in the shoulder months around high season, or check the details on the website of your airline.
