Dubrovnik Yacht Charter Itinerary
7 nights
A South Dalmatia yacht charter centred around Dubrovnik offers historic towns, quiet national parks, and a more relaxed, authentic side of Croatia.
Day 1 - Dubrovnik to Sipan (Elaphiti Islands) 10nm
Embark in Dubrovnik and cruise out to the Elaphiti Islands, leaving the city behind almost immediately. Šipan offers a quiet, authentic start to the week with calm anchorages and a slower pace.
Spend the afternoon swimming straight off the yacht or taking the tender ashore for a relaxed walk through the village.
Recommendation: Casual waterfront dinner in Šipan or onboard.
Day 2 - Sipan to Mljet National Park 25nm
Cruise north to Mljet, one of Croatia’s most unspoilt islands and a real contrast to the mainland. Known for its national park, Mljet is all about nature, calm water, and space to switch off.
Spend the afternoon cycling or walking around the saltwater lakes, kayaking, or simply relaxing onboard in one of the quiet anchorages.
Recommendation: Dinner onboard or a low-key restaurant in Polače.
Day 3 - Mljet to Korcula 20nm
Cruise to Korčula, a beautifully preserved medieval town often compared to Dubrovnik, but far less crowded. Arrive late morning and spend the day exploring its narrow streets, small squares, and waterfront cafés.
There’s a great balance here between culture and relaxed island life.
Recommendation: Dinner at LD Restaurant or a tucked-away spot within the old town.
Day 4 - Korcula to Peljesac Peninsula (Orebic / Vineyards) 10nm
A short cruise brings you across to the Pelješac Peninsula, known for its vineyards and more local, understated feel. This is a slower-paced day focused on food, wine, and relaxed cruising.
Spend the afternoon visiting a winery, swimming off the yacht, or simply enjoying a long lunch with views across to Korčula.
Recommendation: Winery lunch or a relaxed konoba along the coast.
Day 5 - Peljesac to Ston & Mali Ston 15nm
Cruise towards Ston and Mali Ston, home to some of the best oysters and mussels in the Adriatic. From here, head ashore and take bikes (or a short transfer) along the coastline, passing salt pans and small villages.
Arrive at a local oyster farm for a long, relaxed lunch served right over the water – one of the most authentic experiences of the week.
Return to the yacht in the afternoon for a swim or a gentle reposition for the evening.
Recommendation: Oyster farm lunch in Mali Ston (Bota Šare or a smaller local farm).
Day 6 - Ston to Lopud (Elaphiti Islands) 20nm
Cruise back towards the Elaphiti Islands, stopping at quiet bays along the way. Lopud is known for its sandy beach – a rarity in Croatia – and laid-back atmosphere.
Spend the afternoon swimming, walking along the coastline, or simply enjoying the yacht without a set plan.
Recommendation: Beachside lunch or a relaxed dinner onboard.
Day 7 - Lopud to Kolocep/ Elaphiti Islands 10nm
Your final full day is spent exploring more of the Elaphiti Islands, including Koločep’s hidden coves and crystal-clear water. This is a fully flexible day – ideal for swimming, water toys, and a long, unhurried lunch onboard.
With no need to rush back to port, it’s the perfect way to end the week in a calm, private setting.
Recommendation: Full lunch onboard prepared by your chef.
Day 8 - Elaphiti Islands to Dubrovnik (Disembarkation) 8nm
A short morning cruise back to Dubrovnik with breakfast on deck and time to enjoy the final views of the coastline. Arrive late morning for disembarkation.
