Why is Dubrovnik a true gem of Croatia? 

  • Dubrovnik’s historic fortifications surround picturesque white stone buildings, their terracotta roofs standing out in contrast to the rich azure blue of the Adriatic beyond. 
  • The Old Town is a taste of Mediterranean life from another era. 
  • The harbor is overlooked by Dubrovnik’s ancient citadels and scattered with many spectacular Renaissance palaces leading on to a warren of pedestrian-only streets. 
  • Crystal-clear blue waters give way to white-sand beaches and secluded coves, while the thousands of Croatian islands offer endless opportunities for adventure.

Season: This charter destination is closed from mid-November to end of March.

“Dubrovnik proved to be an excellent choice of charter base. Not only is the city itself one of Europe’s great architectural treasures but the surrounding islands offer a rich choice of destinations from quiet fishing villages and tranquil bays to bustling harbours and historic towns. And thanks to its unique geography you can always find somewhere sheltered to moor for the night.

Chartering somewhere new is always a magical experience but you can enjoy it that much more knowing you’ve got The Moorings team on hand to help out with everything from technical support to restaurant advice.”
