Why rent a sailboat in Dubrovnik?
Dubrovnik, also known as the Pearl of the Adriatic, is a magnificent city in southern Dalmatia, Croatia, known for its historical heritage and landscape. Dubrovnik is the cultural and artistic center of the country and a wonderful destination for sailing and discovering the coast and the hinterland. With a sailboat charter in Dubrovnik, you can discover a city that has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the greenest and most unspoiled areas in the country.
What is there to visit in Dubrovnik and the surrounding area?
Once your sailboat is moored in the port of Dubrovnik, one of the safest on the Croatian coast and fully equipped, you can discover the pearl of the Adriatic. Enter the old town, protected by two kilometers of ramparts, alternating with towers and fortresses, from where you can enjoy a breathtaking view. Don't miss the cathedral, built in a mixture of Byzantine, Romanesque and Baroque styles, the convent of the Friars Minor, the Rector's Palace and the church of San Biagio. Dubrovnik also has a wide choice of beaches where you can relax after your visit to the city: Copacabana beach and the beaches of Lapad Bay are well worth exploring! By renting a sailboat in Dubrovnik and having a week to yourself, you can explore one of the most unspoiled regions of the country: Mljet, the green island of Croatia, and the national park of the same name, which occupies most of the island, a few villages and two salt lakes. Mljet, with its coves lapped by the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic, is an ideal destination for those who want a relaxing and peaceful vacation. Not to be missed: Korcula, separated from the mainland by a narrow channel, an island with traditional villages surrounded by forests, vineyards, olive groves and fields. The south coast of the island is rich in small coves where you can moor and enjoy the scenery, while on the north coast there are numerous wild anchorages.
Useful tips for sailing in the Dubrovnik region
Croatia is a paradise for sailors, not only because of the beauty of its landscapes and coastline, but also because of the sailing conditions, with winds that are rarely strong (less than 12 knots or 20 km/h). The main winds in the region are the Mistral, which comes either from inland as a breeze or as a thermal breeze from the northwest, and the Jugo, a warm wind that blows from North Africa. The best time to sail in Dubrovnik is from May to September, when temperatures range from 20° to 27° and the water temperature is above 20°. To sail in Croatia, a very high frequency (VHF) license is required, but no problem if you don't have one. You can choose a sailboat charter in Dubrovnik with a skipper and count on the experience of a professional sailor.
