Dubrovnik’s charter base is ACI Marina Dubrovnik at Komolac, five kilometres up the Rijeka Dubrovačka inlet from the port of Gruž, on flat water under the hills. The cruising ground is the southern Adriatic: the Elaphiti islands an hour away, Mljet’s national park lakes, Korčula’s walled town, the Pelješac peninsula and, for a longer charter, Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor a day south across the border.

The south has fewer, greener islands and longer views than Dalmatia, and the fleet is smaller; boats for peak weeks go early. Dubrovnik Airport is 30–40 minutes from the marina.

Getting there

By air. Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) at Čilipi is about 25 km from the marina — 35–45 minutes by taxi or transfer along the coast and up the inlet. By road. The coast road from Split takes about three hours, with the Pelješac bridge now avoiding the Bosnian border. Paid parking inside the marina for the week. By ferry and bus. Jadrolinija ferries from Bari and the islands, and coaches from Split, land at Gruž; the marina is 5 km up the inlet by taxi or bus.

Dubrovnik before you cast off

The walled city needs no introduction: the two-kilometre circuit of the walls is the thing to do, early or late to avoid the cruise crowds, then the Stradun, the Rector’s Palace and the old harbour. Lokrum island is ten minutes by boat from the old harbour. The marina at Komolac is a 15-minute bus ride from the walls.

A supermarket is next to the marina at Komolac and larger ones in Gruž; the green market in Gruž is the place for fresh food on Saturday morning. Fuel is on the marina dock.
