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.

Can I take a boat out for just one day?

What is not in the price?

Why do some boats show no price?
33 of the 84 boats from ACI Marina Dubrovnik are on request — usually larger or crewed yachts, where the rate depends on the week and the crew. They are left out of every figure above.
How far is the airport from ACI Marina Dubrovnik?

Do I need a licence to charter bareboat in Croatia?

What day do charters start?
Weekly charters run Saturday to Saturday. Boats are handed over from 17:00 on Saturday and returned by 9:00 the following Saturday; day charters start in the morning from the same pontoons.
Can we sail to Montenegro from Dubrovnik?
Yes, with the charter company’s agreement in advance: Kotor is a day’s sail south and the crossing needs customs clearance in both directions (Cavtat on the Croatian side, Zelenika or Kotor on the Montenegrin). Allow two days of the week for it.
