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 Motorboat in Dubrovnik?

Access to Sandy Beaches: Unlike the rocky coast of Split, the Dubrovnik archipelago (Elaphiti Islands) is famous for rare sandy beaches like Šunj on Lopud. A motorboat allows you to anchor right in the shallow turquoise water.

  • Speed to Nature: The stunning Mljet National Park is too far for a day trip by sailboat, but a powerful motor yacht can get you there for lunch and back by sunset.
  • VIP Experience: Dubrovnik attracts a high-end clientele. Our motor yachts offer the privacy and speed required to visit waterfront restaurants like Bowa on Šipan without the hassle of ferries.
  • Avoid the Heat: The south of Dalmatia gets very hot. A modern motorboat with a generator and powerful A/C is the best way to stay cool.
Captain's Insider Tip: "If you are chartering for a week, consider spending your first night in Cavtat instead of the main marina. It is a stunning, superyacht-friendly town near the airport with a palm-lined promenade that rivals Saint-Tropez. It’s the perfect relaxed start before heading north."

Top-Rated Motorboats in Dubrovnik

From agile weekenders to Italian luxury yachts, here are three of our most requested boats in the region:

  • Prestige 460 Fly: A masterpiece of space. The flybridge offers a massive sunbathing area, making it perfect for groups who want to see the City Walls from the water in total luxury.
  • Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895: The ideal weekender for a couple or small family. Compact, fuel-efficient, but with two cabins and large windows for enjoying the view.
  • Ferretti 43 Fly: Classic Italian elegance. This yacht offers excellent sea-keeping abilities, making it a safe and stylish choice for crossing the channel to Korčula.

Logistics & Parking

ACI Marina Dubrovnik is considered one of the most beautiful marinas in the Adriatic, complete with a swimming pool and ancient castle grounds. However, it is a 20-minute drive from the Old Town. We recommend stocking up on provisions at the large supermarkets near the marina entrance before boarding.
