Yacht charter in Dubrovnik / Montenegro

The region's signature route and the reason so many boats here change over on a Sunday. One border day, one dramatic bay, and no retracing your steps.

1. 1

   ACI Marina Dubrovnik

   Handover at Komolac; down the coast and into the Elaphiti.

2. 2

   Šipan or Lopud

   The inhabited islands; quiet bays and beach konobas.

3. 3

   Mljet — Polače

   West to the national park. Arrive early for a berth; park entry is charged per person.

4. 4

   Back east — Koločep or Dubrovnik

   Position for the border; the old town in the evening.

5. 5

   Cavtat, then Herceg Novi

   Clear out of Croatia and into Montenegro — about two hours at each end.

6. 6

   Perast and Kotor

   Up the bay between the mountain walls to the head of it.

7. 7

   Porto Montenegro, Tivat

   Back down the bay for the Sunday handover.

Stays in one country, so no clearance and no one-way premium. Longer legs than the Dubrovnik–Kotor week and more actual sailing.

1. 1

   ACI Marina Dubrovnik

   Handover; out of the Ombla and into the Elaphiti.

2. 2

   Šipan

   The largest of the Elaphiti; sheltered bays at both ends.

3. 3

   Mljet — Pomena

   The park moorings closest to the lakes. Twenty berths, so be early.

4. 4

   Korčula town

   North across the channel; the herringbone streets and a real current in the strait.

5. 5

   Pelješac — Trstenik or Žuljana

   The mainland peninsula; vineyards above the shore.

6. 6

   Mljet east or Lopud

   Working back east toward base.

7. 7

   Dubrovnik

   Return up the coast for handover.
