About
Yacht charter in Dubrovnik - South Croatia -
Dubrovnik is
the absolute top yacht charter destination in the South Mediterranean.
This fabulous location is a must visit for all nautical enthusiasts who
dream of independent yacht charter with an opportunity to visit the best
of what Croatia has to offer. Sailing from the local ACI Marina in
Komolac under the lovely Dr Tudjman Bridge and further South towards the
city walls is an exhilarating experience. The view of the old harbour with
all the beauty of the inner city with its picturesque buildings is a post
card view of the best kind and one that is not to be missed.
When to sail:
For
sailing and motor yacht charters, the best season is during June, July and September. During these months you can enjoy all the best
of what the region has to offer with the greatest number of cultural and
tourist events scheduled during August. Apart from fabulous sailing
itineraries towards Elafiti and National Park Mljet, access to Montenegro
is also possible. April, May and October are best times for
real sailing enthusiasts who will appreciate more constant winds and
challenging sailing conditions, while the other months of the year are best
spent in numerous luxury villas, hotels or spas in the region and using
day charter boats for obligatory inspection of local properties and top
restaurants. August being the peak of the season is best for those
who wish to be seen and those after cultural aspects of tourism. It should
be avoided by those seeking isolation, peace and tranquillity as well as
stronger winds.
