7 Days in Dubrovnik

Begin your charter from Dubrovnik’s full-service marina and cruise slowly past the city’s iconic stone walls. Approaching the Old Town from the water offers a unique perspective, with terracotta rooftops and fortifications rising dramatically above the Adriatic.

A short passage brings you to Lokrum Island, just across the channel from Dubrovnik. The afternoon is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or relaxing onboard while enjoying uninterrupted views of the historic city. The yacht remains peacefully at anchor for the evening, with Dubrovnik glowing across the water at sunset.

Depart Lokrum and cruise northwest toward the Elaphiti Islands, a small group known for their quiet villages and clear waters. The route offers relaxed cruising conditions and scenic views of forested island slopes along the way.

Anchor near Šipan Island, the largest in the group, where traditional stone houses and olive groves line the shoreline. Guests can swim from the yacht or take the tender ashore for a short walk through the village. The evening is calm and quiet, with the yacht spending the night at anchor in the sheltered bay.

Today’s longer cruise heads southeast toward Mljet, one of Croatia’s most beautiful islands. Much of the island is protected as a national park, known for its dense forests and calm saltwater lakes.

Arrive by early afternoon and secure a berth or anchor near the park entrance. Guests may explore the lakes by bicycle, take a swim in the tranquil waters, or simply relax onboard surrounded by nature. The yacht remains in the peaceful harbor area overnight, with the island’s quiet atmosphere setting the tone for the evening.

Cruise north toward Korčula Island, whose medieval Old Town is often compared to a smaller Dubrovnik. The approach is particularly scenic, with stone towers and walls visible from the sea.

Spend the afternoon exploring the narrow streets, local cafés, and small squares within the old town. Korčula also offers excellent waterfront dining for those wishing to go ashore in the evening. The yacht spends the night either in the marina or anchored just outside the harbor, enjoying the lights of the historic town.

Cruise further south toward Lastovo, one of the Adriatic’s quieter and less developed islands. The surrounding waters are part of a protected nature park, known for their exceptional clarity and peaceful anchorages.

Arrive in a sheltered bay during the afternoon and enjoy time for swimming or paddleboarding directly from the yacht. The remote setting offers a strong sense of escape compared to the busier islands further north. The yacht remains at anchor overnight in the calm harbor, surrounded by untouched coastline.

Begin the journey back toward Dubrovnik, cruising northwest across open Adriatic waters before re-entering the Elaphiti Islands. The passage is scenic and relaxed, with time to enjoy the views from the flybridge or aft deck.

Anchor in a quiet cove among the islands, selecting a different bay from earlier in the week. The afternoon is ideal for swimming, kayaking, or simply enjoying the final full day on the water. The yacht spends its last night at anchor in the peaceful surroundings of the Elaphiti archipelago.

A short morning cruise brings you back toward Dubrovnik. As the yacht approaches the city, guests once again enjoy the impressive view of the medieval walls rising directly from the sea.

Depending on schedule, there may be time for a final swim stop or a slow cruise along the Old Town before returning to the marina. Disembarkation takes place in Dubrovnik, concluding the charter with one last view of one of the Adriatic’s most iconic coastal cities.
