Dubrovnik

Sailing from Dubrovnik – South Dalmatia and Montenegro

Dubrovnik is one of the best-known destinations on the Adriatic. Its walled Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, rises majestically above the deep blue sea. Setting off from Marina Dubrovnik, you are immediately in one of the most appealing cruising grounds on the Adriatic. The city is a cultural highlight in its own right, and also the perfect starting point for trips to South Dalmatia and Montenegro.

The Elaphiti Islands

Only a few nautical miles north-west of Dubrovnik lie the Elaphiti Islands: Šipan, Lopud and Koločep. These largely car-free islands are known for their lush vegetation, historic summer villas and crystal-clear anchorages. Šipan is the largest of the three and has two villages with charming konobas (family-run taverns).

Mljet National Park, around 40 nautical miles away, is an absolute must: salt-water lakes, dense pine forests and a Benedictine monastery on a small island within an island characterise this unique nature reserve.

Crossing the Border into Montenegro

If you are looking for an international adventure, sail from Dubrovnik into the Bay of Kotor. The Montenegrin fjord landscape impresses with dramatic mountains and picturesque towns such as Perast and the Old Town of Kotor. Clearing in is straightforward and well worth the effort.
