What is the best time to rent a yacht in Dubrovnik?

If you’re wondering the best time to charter a yacht in Dubrovnik, we recommend between May and October. This time of year has the best weather and sailing conditions. Summer has the nicest weather, with little to no rain and temperatures averaging at 30°C in July and August. This is also when the prices are highest and the crowds are plentiful. For lower prices, less tourists, and slightly cooler weather, charter a boat in Dubrovnik in May, June, September, and October, where the temperature ranges from 22°C to 27°C.

Hire a boat in Dubrovnik with or without a skipper

If you have a boating licence or are an experienced sailor, you might prefer a yacht rental in Dubrovnik without a skipper. However, there are many benefits to having a skipper on board for experienced and novice sailors alike.

Skippers are local nautical experts who can teach you a thing or two about sailing if you lack experience. They can also show you some of the hidden gems in the area that you might not have known about otherwise. So, for a relaxing holiday that is personalised to suit your sailing itinerary, you can’t go wrong with a boat hire in Dubrovnik with a skipper!

What type of boat is best for a Dubrovnik boat charter?

At Click&Boat, we have a large fleet of Dubrovnik boat rentals. However, the first step is knowing which one to choose. When choosing a boat, it's crucial to consider the activities you’re interested in and how much time you have to ensure you have the sailing vacation of your dreams.

For a short boat trip, motorboats and RIBs are great options because they tend to be day charters and travel very quickly. This gives you the chance to see everything on your sailing bucket list.

On the other hand, if you are planning for an extended trip, you might want to choose larger boats such as catamaran charters or luxury yachts. These vessels include amenities like a kitchen, a cabin, and a bathroom on board to accommodate everyone and keep them comfortable.

Finally, if you have sailing experience or are looking for an authentic sailing experience, we recommend chartering a sailboat. They are not recommended for people who get seasick quickly as they can be unstable. Remember to hire a skipper if you are a novice. Whichever boat you choose for your holiday in Dubrovnik, you will make unforgettable memories while on the water.
