Luxury Catamaran Holidays in Dubrovnik
Discover the pearl of the Adriatic from the comfort of a spacious multihull. Our catamaran holidays in Dubrovnik offer the perfect blend of historical exploration and secluded island hopping. Whether you are seeking a skippered adventure or a fully crewed luxury experience, we provide the finest vessels departing from the prestigious ACI Marina Dubrovnik.
Premium Multihulls and Tailored Services
Our fleet in Dubrovnik features the latest models from world-renowned shipyards like Lagoon and Fountaine Pajot. These catamarans are designed for maximum stability and social space, making them ideal for families or groups of friends. Each charter includes essential safety equipment, a fully equipped galley, and modern navigation systems. Depending on your preferences, you can opt for a bareboat rental if you possess the required licenses, or a crewed service where a professional skipper and hostess take care of every detail. From gourmet Mediterranean meals prepared on board to water toys like paddleboards and snorkeling gear, our service ensures a seamless transition from the historic Old Town to the open sea.
Sailing the Elaphiti Islands and Beyond
Starting your journey from Dubrovnik opens up a world of breathtaking coastal scenery and crystalline waters. A typical itinerary begins with the Elaphiti Islands—Lopud, Šipan, and Koločep—where you can anchor in sandy bays and dine at authentic waterfront konobas. Further north lies the lush Mljet National Park, famous for its saltwater lakes and ancient monastery. For those with more time, the cosmopolitan island of Korčula offers a mix of medieval architecture and award-winning vineyards. Navigating these waters on a catamaran allows you to access shallow coves that deeper draft monohulls cannot reach, providing a truly private experience away from the bustling tourist crowds of the mainland.
Pricing and Seamless Booking Process
The cost of a catamaran charter in Dubrovnik varies based on the size of the vessel, the year of manufacture, and the season. During the peak months of July and August, weekly rates typically range from €5,000 for standard models to over €20,000 for large luxury power catamarans. These prices generally include the boat insurance and VAT, while additional costs such as fuel, marina fees, and crew gratuities are managed via an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). Booking is straightforward: once you select your preferred dates and yacht, a deposit secures your reservation. Our local experts are available to assist with itinerary planning and any special provisioning requests before you arrive at the marina.
Best Time to Visit and Travel Tips
The sailing season in Croatia runs from May through October. For the best balance of warm weather and manageable crowds, we recommend booking your stay in June or September. During these shoulder months, the Maestral wind provides excellent sailing conditions during the day, while the evenings remain calm for peaceful anchoring. To enhance your vacation, consider a 'sail and stay' package by combining your time at sea with a few nights in a luxury villa overlooking the Dubrovnik city walls. Always remember to pack light in soft-sided luggage, bring high-factor sunscreen, and ensure you have local currency (Euro) for smaller island establishments that may not accept international credit cards.
