Frequently asked questions

What happens when I request a quote?
Once we receive your request, we will confirm the availability of the boat, as well as check for alternative ones. To ensure your experience is the best it can be, we may contact you to discuss your request in detail. Let us do the research for you - free of charge.
When can I get in touch with the captain/skipper?
The timing depends on your charter type. For crewed charters, we can provide the captain's contact details upon request. For bareboat charters with a hired skipper, you can request the contact information 1-3 weeks before departure.
What is the Charter Fee?
The Charter Fee is an additional, obligatory cost, which typically includes the end cleaning of the boat, home port fees, and linen & towels. The details of the charter fee differ depending on the boat, location and charter partner.
Are there any other costs I should be aware of?
There are marina fees and fuel costs which vary depending on the type, duration and location of your sailing holiday. Marina fees need to be paid at each marina you choose to dock overnight - the amount varies but you may be able to find this information in advance by contacting the marinas directly. Fuel costs depend on whether you’re sailing a motorboat or a sailboat. You can estimate fuel costs by double-checking your chosen boat’s engine, and the expected distance you aim to sail.

Why Rent a Powerboat in Dubrovnik?

Find the Sand: Unlike the rocky beaches around Split, the Dubrovnik area (Elaphiti Islands) is known for rare sandy beaches like Šunj on Lopud. A powerboat lets you anchor right in the shallow, clear water.

  • Day Trips to Nature: The incredible Mljet National Park is a bit too far for a sailboat day trip, but a fast motor yacht can get you there for lunch and back by sunset.
  • VIP Access: Dubrovnik attracts a luxury crowd. Our motor yachts give you the speed and privacy to visit exclusive waterfront restaurants like Bowa on Šipan without waiting for public ferries.
  • Beat the Heat: Southern Dalmatia gets hot in July and August. A modern powerboat with A/C and a generator is the best way to stay comfortable.
Captain's Insider Tip: "If you're booking a weekly charter, try spending your first night in Cavtat instead of the marina. It's a gorgeous, upscale town near the airport with a waterfront promenade that feels like the French Riviera. It’s a super relaxing way to start your trip."

Top-Rated Motor Yachts in Dubrovnik

From compact cruisers to classic Italian yachts, here are three favorites in our fleet:

  • Prestige 460 Fly: Incredible use of space. The flybridge has a huge sunpad, making it perfect for groups wanting to cruise past the City Walls in total luxury.
  • Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895: The perfect weekender for a couple or small family. It's fuel-efficient and compact, but still has two cabins and big windows for the views.
  • Ferretti 43 Fly: Classic Italian style. This yacht handles the sea beautifully, making it a safe and elegant choice for crossing the channel to Korčula.

Logistics & Provisioning

ACI Marina Dubrovnik is one of the nicest marinas in the Adriatic, featuring a pool and historic grounds. It's about a 20-minute drive from the Old Town. We suggest grabbing your groceries at the large supermarkets near the marina entrance before you board.
