About the route

Yacht Charter Split to Dubrovnik

Split and Dubrovnik are two popular coastal cities in Croatia. You can charter a boat and spend a week or two sailing from central Dalmatia (Split) to the south of Dalmatia (Dubrovnik). If you decide to do a one-way charter, be sure to plan your route carefully and make sure you have the necessary skills and experience to handle a boat. Otherwise, you can always opt for a skippered yacht charter.

When planning your yacht charter from Split to Dubrovnik, there are a few things to consider:

  • Length of the trip: Do you want to make several stops along the way? Do you want to visit specific islands or landmarks along the way?
  • Type of yacht: Do you want a sailboat, catamaran, motor yacht, or gulet? Based on the number of people in your crew, what size of yacht do you need? Choose your yacht here.
  • Budget: Yacht charters can vary significantly in price, depending on the length of the trip, the size and type of yacht, and any additional services you require.

Sailing from Split to Dubrovnik is a wonderful way to experience the beauty of the Croatian coast and the Adriatic Sea.
