Dubrovnik is one of those cities that is arguably more popular than its country, Croatia. Located at the southernmost point of the country, this stretch of the Adriatic coast lures visitors and yachters with its terracotta-tiled roofs, olive groves and vineyards, world-class architecture, and famous city walls framed by the stunning Adriatic Sea. Adding to its allure are the fascinating history, excellent cuisine, bustling nightlife, and white sandy beaches, which make a yacht charter vacation or simple exploration surely worth it.

Often considered the ideal way to explore the Adriatic coast, Dubrovnik stands out as a fast-emerging hub for luxury yacht charters. With ACI Dubrovnik Marina as the central marina for superyachts, providing a breathtaking view of the city's postcard-worthy beauty before setting foot ashore while the port of Dubrovnik, located 3km from the old town, offers restaurants, cafes, and shops nearby, giving yacht charter guests excellent options to dock.

Known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic," Dubrovnik's Old Town is one of Croatia's most famous and beloved destinations. This UNESCO World Heritage site is enclosed by well-preserved walls that stretch over 1.9 kilometers. At its heart lies the Stradun, a gleaming limestone promenade that connects the city's vibrant pulse with its historical heritage, lined with charming cafes, boutique stores, and notable sites like St. Blaise Church and the Dubrovnik Cathedral.

Notable features include the Rector's Palace, a stunning reminder of Dubrovnik's governance during the Republic of Ragusa, and the Sponza Palace, known for its striking Gothic and Renaissance design. Climb the Minceta Tower for panoramic views of the Adriatic and step into the world of Game of Thrones, as many of the Old Town's landmarks served as filming locations for King's Landing. Fans will recognize the Pile Gate, Fort Lovrijenac, and the Jesuit Staircase, adding a cinematic layer to the exploration. And wander into the Franciscan Monastery to see one of Europe's oldest pharmacies.

Dubrovnik also offers stunning beaches and watersports for those who want to experience the Adriatic Sea, with Banje Beach offering crystal-clear waters and activities like kayaking and parasailing, while Lapand Beach provides a more laid-back escape with cozy cafes and lounge bars.

Dubrovnik's culinary and nightlife offerings are as remarkable as its historic charm. Guests can taste gourmet meals at Nautika or the Michelin-starred 360 Degrees, pairing local flavors with a glass of wine made from the indigenous Malvasija Dubrovacka grape.
