Dubrovnik
Yacht Charters

Dubrovnik might be one of the best preserved cities in all of Europe, and the ancient marble walls that line Old Town prove it. The city’s walls date to the 10th century, and separate Dubrovnik from the sparkling Adriatic. Home to four fortresses, one at each corner – including Minceta Tower, Revelin Fortress, St. John’s Fortress and Bokar Bastion – yacht charter guests can walk along the walls and simultaneously learn about Croatia’s rich history.

As you enter the Old Town through Pile Gate, take the winding, narrow streets to the heart of Dubrovnik: Stradun, otherwise known as “Placa.” Bordered by the Franciscan Monastery, Church of St. Blaise and Rector’s Palace, Stradun is a see-it-to-believe-it piazza that’s a center of Croatian history. As ancient as it is beautiful, Stradun is the perfect place for a glass of Dalmatian wine, shopping, or tasting the catch of the day.

Once home to the Rector of Croatia, Rector’s Palace is, today, the Dubrovnik city museum. Originally designed by Onofrio della Cava, the same man who designed Onofrio’s fountain in Stradum, this building has undergone numerous preservation and restoration efforts, due to the fact that it was nearly destroyed after the 1667 earthquake.

Dubrovnik’s many eateries and restaurants showcase the finest in Dalmatia food and drink. Check out Ragusa 2, a chic Old Town restaurant that serves local, fresh-caught seafood with coastal Croatian flair. Wine connoisseurs can sample the region’s finest wines at several Dubrovnik wine bars like Enoteka Terra. Plus, many of the city’s restaurants are converted 13th and 14th-century buildings, providing timeless ambiance.

Since 1969, visitors to Dubrovnik have flocked to the top of Srd Hill for panoramic views of Old Town and the nearby Elaphiti islands. In fact, on clear days, you can see nearly 40 miles out to sea. Looking for an adventure? Hike along the crest of Srd Hill to a secluded neighboring fort for incredible Adriatic views – the perfect spot for an afternoon picnic.
