Planning a Croatia sailing holiday on our Dubrovnik Explorer route? Read our guide that covers all the practical travel advice you need to know ahead of your trip.
Meeting Point
Your meeting point will be at ACI Marina in Dubrovnik.
Your Yacht Getaways crew will be ready to meet you there on Saturday at 3 pm, and you should be able to board your yacht directly. Once onboard you can get settled and complete the safety briefing before departure by 5pm.
Your Skipper and Host will contact you via email 3 days in advance of your holiday to share their contact details, as well as more detailed information about the meeting point – If you have not received anything by this time please contact the office.
For early arrivals, luggage drop-off will be available with your crew from 11am, and they will provide you with advice on things to do in the local area.
If you are running late or struggling to find the meeting point, please don’t hesitate to call or email your Skipper and Host using the details provided by them in your welcome email.
We highly recommend downloading Whats App as the primary communication tool with your crew.
Your yacht will return to SCT Marina, Trogir, Split between 1 pm and 3 pm on the following Friday and you can check out by 5 pm.
Getting There
ACI Marina Dubrovnik lies close to the town of Komolac, within easy reach of Dubrovnik Airport (DBV). From the airport, you have the choice of taking an Uber, local taxi or the airport bus.
Uber:
This is the most affordable and easy way to travel directly to the marina from the airport or from your accommodation in Dubrovnik. Make sure you download and set up your Uber App before you arrive in Croatia.
Private Taxi:
Airport transfers are widely available from the airport Taxi rank. The approximate rates per vehicle are:
- 1 to 4 Seater Car – €40
- 5 to 9 Seater Bus – €60
From Dubrovnik Old Town:
If you are staying in Dubrovnik Old Town prior to your sailing holiday, we recommend hailing an Uber or local taxi from outside the Old Town walls to take you to the marina.
The approximate rates per vehicle are:
- 1 to 4 Seater Car – €20-€30
- 5 to 9 Seater Bus – €50
Allow 20-30 minutes for this journey.
Need to travel back to Dubrovnik at the end of your trip?
You can travel on the fast ferry which can be booked at Croatia Ferries.
Before You Go
Boat Life
Cleaner Seas
At Yacht Getaways, we are committed to continuous improvements in environmental, economic & social sustainability and want to ensure we all travel more responsibly on and off the water. Here are some ideas on how you can help us leave smiles not waste.
REDUCING POINTLESS PLASTICS
One of the biggest environmental issues today is plastic and sadly the hardest hit is our beautiful ocean. We ask that you minimise your use of plastic whilst on holiday with us by using your eco-friendly Yacht Getaways tote bag when shopping and also saying no to pointless plastics during the trip.
We also ask that you pack a reusable water bottle for the trip!
OCEAN FRIENDLY TOILETRIES
If you can, please bring ocean-friendly products to use on board the yachts – this means eco-friendly sun creams, soaps, deodorants and so on. With so much time spent in the water, we want to make sure we are keeping our ocean as pristine as possible and clean for our future guests (and generations)!
SUPPORT THE LOCALS
We are lucky to be able to work with some amazing local providers; who you will meet during your week of sailing at restaurants, bars, and also during any activities. The best part is that by doing this, you are not only supporting sustainable travel but by avoiding tourist hotspots, you will keep your travel budget intact.
Route Activities
All optional activities are organised and paid for during the week in the local currency.
Local Payment
There is a local payment of €240 per person for Superior Catamarans and €260 per person for Prestige Catamarans, this covers all your yacht’s running costs including the marina fees, local taxes, the yacht’s fuel, the damage deposit waiver and the charter pack.
All local payments must be paid in Euro(€) currency.
You can make this payment in advance of your holiday or at check-in using cash or the link below.
Please remember to keep your receipt to show to your Skipper and Host at check-in.
