7 Day Dubrovnik Bareboat Itinerary

Dubrovnik

Take it easy and spend your first day exploring the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik. The Old Town is just a 10-minute taxi ride from our base near the mouth of the Ombla River. Here you’ll see Renaissance palaces and ancient citadels surrounded by a labyrinth of marble streets chock full of restaurants, cafés and shops.

Dubrovnik to Ston, Pelješac

Today you’ll set sail from Dubrovnik for Ston, a coastal town perched on the slender, finger-like peninsula of Pelješac. Get a feel for your new yacht as you enjoy the warm waters and temperate winds of the Adriatic. Drop anchor in the beautiful waters of Uvala Lopud and enjoy lunch at one of the beachside restaurants before sailing on to Ston. You’ll have enough time to explore Ston’s city walls, the second longest defensive walls in the world, before settling in for a glass of wine on deck.

Ston to Pomena, Mljet

Sail from Ston, Pelješac to the tiny fishing village of Pomena on the seductive island of Mljet. As you reach the northern shores of Mljet, stop for swimming and snorkelling in the warm waters that caress the coastline. You’ll finish your night in the sheltered cove of beautiful Pomena. Backed by a dense Aleppo pine forest, this lovely village offers a handful of restaurants and shops to explore.

Pomena Korčula Town, Korčula

A short hop from Pomena, this leg of your bareboat sailing holiday takes just you to the quiet coves, luscious vineyards and sheltered beaches of Korčula. Stop along the way for swimming and snorkelling on the island of Badija, then explore the island’s 14th century Franciscan monastery. Back on your yacht, set sail for the lively town of Korčula. Here you’ll find museums, galleries and fine restaurants within the beautiful cobbled streets and defensive walls of the town.

Korčula town to Trstenik, Pelješac

Leave Korčula town and sail again for the peninsula of Pelješac—this time to the town of Trstenik. Along the way you’ll pass scenic mountains and seascapes with beautiful beaches that will tempt you to drop anchor and go for a swim. Once in Trstenik, wine buffs will enjoy sampling the famous Plavac Mali red while relaxing at waterside restaurants.

Moor in Suđurađ’s protected harbour and enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere before heading out for an evening meal along the charming town quay.
