Premium Fleet and Bespoke Services
Our selection of catamarans in Dubrovnik features the industry’s most prestigious brands, including Lagoon, Fontaine Pajot, and Bali. Each vessel is chosen for its expansive deck space, modern cabins, and superior stability at sea. Whether you are looking for a bareboat rental to helm yourself or a fully crewed luxury experience with a professional skipper and hostess, we provide tailored solutions. Standard inclusions often feature GPS navigation, fully equipped kitchens, and safety gear, while our premium packages can include gourmet catering, water toys like paddleboards or Seabobs, and personalized itineraries designed to match your group's specific preferences and sailing experience.
Sailing Routes: From the Elafiti Islands to Mljet
Departing from ACI Marina Dubrovnik or the Port of Gruž, you are perfectly positioned to explore the southern Dalmatian islands. A favorite short route involves the Elafiti Islands—Koločep, Lopud, and Šipan—where you can anchor in sandy bays and dine at authentic waterfront konobas. For those with a week-long itinerary, sailing north toward the lush Mljet National Park is a must, offering serene saltwater lakes and dense Mediterranean forests. Further afield, the island of Korčula provides a rich cultural stop with its walled town, while the hidden coves of Lastovo Nature Park offer a peaceful escape from the more crowded tourist hubs, all easily accessible by catamaran.
Pricing, Seasonality, and Booking Process
The cost of a catamaran rental in Dubrovnik varies significantly based on the size of the boat, its age, and the time of year. During the peak months of July and August, prices for a modern 40-foot catamaran typically start around €6,000 per week, whereas shoulder seasons in May or September offer more competitive rates starting from €3,500. It is important to account for additional costs such as fuel, marina fees, and the transit log. To secure your preferred dates, we recommend booking at least six months in advance. Our process is simple: select your vessel, confirm your dates with a deposit, and let our concierge team handle the administrative details.
Expert Tips for Your Adriatic Sailing Holiday
The best time for a catamaran charter in Dubrovnik is between late May and early October, when the Adriatic waters are warm and the winds are generally predictable. If you prefer a quieter experience with milder temperatures, June and September are ideal. For a truly seamless luxury vacation, many of our clients choose to combine their sailing week with a stay in a private villa overlooking the Adriatic. This allows you to explore the rugged coastline by sea before retreating to a hilltop terrace in Ploče or Lapad. Always remember to pack soft-soled shoes for the deck and light, breathable clothing to stay comfortable under the Mediterranean sun.

FAQ
What is the average price for a catamaran charter in Dubrovnik?
Prices generally range from €4,000 per week for smaller, older models in the low season to over €15,000 per week for large, luxury power catamarans in peak summer. Daily rentals, when available, typically start from €1,200 depending on the season and crew requirements.
Do I need a license for a bareboat catamaran charter in Dubrovnik?
Yes, to charter a catamaran without a professional skipper, you must possess a valid skipper’s license and a VHF radio certificate recognized by the Croatian maritime authorities. If you do not hold these, we can provide an experienced local skipper to navigate for you.
Are catamarans better than monohulls for sailing in Croatia?
Catamarans are highly recommended for the Adriatic due to their shallow draft, which allows you to get closer to the shore in bays like Sunj. They offer significantly more living space and stability, making them ideal for families or those prone to seasickness.
Where do I board my catamaran in Dubrovnik?
Most charters depart from ACI Marina Dubrovnik, located in Komolac, about 6km from the Old Town. Some premium vessels may also be available for boarding at the Port of Gruž or via tender from specific waterfront luxury villas upon prior arrangement.
