Boat Rental in Dubrovnik
20 boats in Dubrovnik with live day-charter and short-trip availability — from €1,200 per day. Take the helm yourself with a license, or book skippered and just show up.
Day charters from Dubrovnik trade the crowds of the old town for the Elaphiti islands — Koločep, Lopud and Šipan — a chain of car-free islands starting just 20 minutes from the Gruž harbour. Seeing the city walls from the water at golden hour is the postcard every visitor wants; having your own boat means you get it without the tour-boat timetable.

Where to go for a day on the water
Routes you can run with your own boat from Dubrovnik — no tour timetable, your own swim stops.
The Elaphiti loop
Koločep’s blue cave, a swim at Lopud’s Šunj sandbank, lunch in Šipan’s Šipanska Luka — the definitive Dubrovnik day afloat, all within an hour of the marina.
City walls & Lokrum
A shorter afternoon route: circle Lokrum island, anchor for a swim in Betina cave bay, and finish with the sunset run beneath the walls of the old town.
Renting a boat in Dubrovnik: what to know
How much does it cost to rent a boat in Dubrovnik?
Day and short charters in Dubrovnik currently start from €1,200 per day. Prices vary with boat size, season and whether a skipper is included — every listing shows its live price before you book.
Do I need a license to rent a boat?
To skipper yourself in Croatia you need a valid boating license and (in most cases) a VHF certificate. No license? Book a skippered charter — a local skipper handles the boat while you enjoy the day.
Can I rent a boat in Dubrovnik for just one day?
Yes — Dubrovnik has single-day charters available alongside 2–3 day short trips. Set your dates on the listing to see live availability.
Is a skipper included?
Depends on the boat: some include a skipper in the price, others offer one as an extra, and licensed guests can take many boats out bareboat. Each listing states what’s included.
Staying longer than a day?
Dubrovnik is also a weekly-charter base — browse the full sailing fleet and split the cost with your crew.
