A 50 to 60m motor yacht Dubrovnik through the 2026 peak window (mid-July through end of August) runs $385,000 to $580,000 per week plus 26 to 28 percent APA, takes 10 to 12 guests on the 6-cabin standard, and carries 14 to 17 crew. Dubrovnik has no walled-town stern-to allocation at the bracket: the Old Town inner port (Stara Luka) holds only the structural 25m line, and the 50 to 60m base runs through ACI Marina Dubrovnik at Komolac on the Rijeka Dubrovacka inland estuary 5 nautical miles north of the Old Town for the structural overnight, or the Gruz cruise-quay (Port of Dubrovnik) on prior commercial-port arrangement for the supplementary stern-to. The structural arrival runs Dubrovnik airport (DBV) at 22 kilometres south for the captain's car or the structural 8 to 12-minute helicopter leg, with the bracket-fit Cat A helipad operation the standard. Roughly 8 to 12 yachts in this LOA work the Dubrovnik southern Dalmatian corridor through a typical August week, the highest 50 to 60m concentration in the southern Adriatic outside the Montenegrin Porto Montenegro base.
Why the bracket works Dubrovnik
ACI Marina Dubrovnik at Komolac. The Komolac ACI on the Rijeka Dubrovacka estuary holds the structural 50 to 60m allocation on the outer T-pier on prior ACI agreement, with the bracket-fit overnight reading through the protected estuary swing on the leeward face of the prevailing summer maestral and jugo. The Komolac shore programme runs the captain's car transfer to the Old Town (15 minutes), the prior reservation at 360 (the structural Restaurant 360 on the city walls for the tasting-menu bench, Michelin one-star), Above 5 on the southern-walls Hotel Excelsior face for the seafood tasting, and Proto on the Stradun main street for the central old-town seafood call.
Gruz cruise-quay supplementary stern-to. The Gruz commercial-port quay (Port of Dubrovnik) on the western Lapad peninsula holds the structural supplementary stern-to on the outer commercial-quay face on prior commercial-port agreement. The Gruz stern-to runs the bracket-fit cross-Old-Town shore-distance shorter than the Komolac and the bracket runs the Gruz allocation through the agent on the structural cruise-ship-window check (the cruise-ship calls Gruz on rotation through the August peak window). The Gruz shore programme runs the captain's car 10-minute transfer to the Old Town Pile Gate.
The Elaphiti Islands and Lopud. The Elaphiti chain (Kolocep, Lopud, Sipan) 5 to 10 nautical mile northwest of Dubrovnik holds the structural daylight programme. Lopud Sunj Bay on the southern face holds the bracket-fit lunch anchor on the calm-water sandy-bottom swing and the Sunj beach shore-tender brief. Lopud Town on the northern face holds the supplementary daylight call on the inner quay. Sipan Suđurad on the eastern face holds the structural daylight call on the inner quay, with the captain's prior reservation at Bowa on the eastern Sipan face (Bowa is the Mediterranean-tasting fine-dining bench on the Sipan southern peninsula). The Kolocep northern face holds the supplementary daylight call on the Donje Celo cove.
Cavtat southern fallback. The Cavtat southern bay 9 nautical miles south of Dubrovnik holds the structural bracket-fit overnight on the protected double-bay anchor on the leeward face of the maestral, with the Cavtat shore programme running the structural Bukovac House museum, the Mausoleum of the Racic family on the cemetery hill, and the captain's prior dinner reservation at Bugenvila on the Riva for the central-Cavtat seafood tasting. The Cavtat overnight is the bracket-fit jugo-event fallback.
Weekly rate map for the 2026 season
Rates below are for peak weeks (mid-July through end of August) for the 2026 Croatian charter season, before APA at 27 percent and gratuity at 10 to 15 percent. The Croatian PDV at 13 percent on the charter fee, the ACI Marina Dubrovnik Komolac berth fees, the Gruz cruise-quay commercial fees (the bracket's structural supplementary-stern-to cost line), the Cat A helipad airport agency notification, and the bunker fuel allocation through the Korcula-to-Dubrovnik southern Dalmatian corridor run through the APA.
| LOA bracket | Motor yacht (low to high) | Sailing yacht and large sailing tri (low to high) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 to 53m | $385K to $455K per week | $340K to $410K per week |
| 53 to 57m | $435K to $520K per week | $385K to $465K per week |
| 57 to 60m | $495K to $580K per week | $440K to $525K per week |
The 50 to 60m Dubrovnik bracket prices 6 to 8 percent above the 50 to 60m Hvar at the same LOA because the Dubrovnik southern-Dalmatian August-peak demand structure, the structural Cat A helipad load on the DBV proximity, and the August Old Town daylight density pull the rate. For corridor context see the 50-60m Korcula bracket, the 50-60m Mljet bracket, the 50-60m Montenegro bracket, the 50-60m Split bracket, and the 40-50m Dubrovnik bracket for the smaller LOA shoulder.
What is in the bracket in this bracket in Dubrovnik
Cabins. Six standard. The 6-cabin August week reads through the Split-to-Dubrovnik southbound shape with one to two nights at Dubrovnik (the structural Komolac base) and the supplementary Elaphiti or Cavtat day-and-night rotation.
Crew. Fourteen to seventeen. Croatian and Maltese-flag charter list dominates the southern-Dalmatian fleet at the bracket. The captain plus chief stew hold the Croatian-language operational fluency on the ACI Komolac, the Gruz cruise-quay commercial agency, and the DBV airport helipad pre-clearance. The chief stew's prior bench on Restaurant 360 Dubrovnik, Above 5 Dubrovnik, Proto Dubrovnik, Bowa Sipan, and Bugenvila Cavtat reservations is the structural broker-side question at inquiry.
Tenders. Primary 11 to 12m for the Komolac-to-Old-Town shore brief (the structural 5 nautical mile primary-tender shuttle to the Old Port Pile Gate at the daylight window), the Gruz-to-Old-Town shore brief, and the Sunj Bay Lopud shore-tender lunch run, secondary 7 to 8m beach-landing for the Sunj sandy-beach landing and the Cavtat shore-tender, plus a chase boat for the Elaphiti daylight rotation. The Dubrovnik tender programme runs the structural Old-Town daylight-and-evening shore rhythm hard at the bracket.
At-anchor stabilizers. Required. The Lopud Sunj Bay, the Sipan Suđurad anchor, the Kolocep Donje Celo, and the Cavtat double-bay anchor run the at-anchor stabilizers through the August maestral swing window, and the supplementary jugo event holds the at-anchor load on the Cavtat protected leeward face. The 2018-and-newer hulls run the structural zero-speed product at the bracket.
Beach club. Required. The Lopud Sunj, the Sipan eastern face, the Kolocep, and the Cavtat anchors run the beach club open hard through the structural August water band of 24 to 26 degrees, and the fold-out terraces run the daylight platform load through the bracket-fit Elaphiti programme.
Helipad. Cat A required at the upper end. The Dubrovnik airport (DBV) 22 kilometre transit holds the structural 8 to 12-minute helicopter leg to the ACI Komolac, the Gruz cruise-quay, or the Cavtat heliports on the prior CCAA permit. The bracket-fit Dubrovnik operation runs the Cat A standard through the DBV proximity and the city-walls-tour helicopter rotation, and the captain's prior helipad protocol on the DBV controlled airspace agency holds the bracket-fit operation.
Trip shape that fits the bracket
The Dubrovnik bracket reads through the Split-to-Dubrovnik southbound shape as the structural closing base and the Dubrovnik-Montenegro-Albania southern arc shape as the opener. The 7-night southbound shape runs Split embarkation (one night ACI Marina Split), Brac Bol daylight one, Hvar Palmizana two nights, Korcula one, Mljet Polace one, Dubrovnik ACI Komolac one (Old Town daylight, dinner at Restaurant 360). Seven nights. The Dubrovnik shape suits the structural southbound rotation as the closing southern Dalmatian base.
For the 10-night Dubrovnik-Montenegro southern arc the bracket runs Dubrovnik Komolac (two nights with Elaphiti day) plus Cavtat (one night) plus Porto Montenegro Kotor Bay (three nights) plus Sveti Stefan Aman daylight call (one night Budva) plus Cavtat (one night close) plus Dubrovnik (two nights close). Ten nights. For destination context see Charter Dubrovnik, Charter Croatia, and the Croatia charter weekly rates report.
What the bracket does not do well in Dubrovnik
The Old Town inner port (Stara Luka) at the bracket. The Old Town inner port (the medieval inner harbour inside the city walls) holds the structural 25m line only and the 50 to 60m bracket runs no allocation at the inner port. We would pass on any broker representation of an Old Town inner port stern-to or overnight at the 50 to 60m bracket and hold the ACI Komolac estuary base or the Gruz cruise-quay supplementary stern-to instead.
The Gruz cruise-quay stern-to in the August cruise-ship-window event. The Gruz commercial port reads through the structural cruise-ship rotation calendar through the August peak with the cruise-ship-day blocking the bracket-fit yacht stern-to slot, and the bracket runs the Gruz allocation only on prior cruise-window agency check. We would pass on any captain's plan that books a Gruz stern-to without the cruise-ship-window written confirmation from the Port of Dubrovnik agency at the contract stage.
The Lopud Sunj Bay overnight at the bracket in the August jugo event. The structural southerly jugo summer system runs the Sunj Bay southern face exposed to the southerly fetch and the bracket-fit overnight reads through the Cavtat southern double-bay or the ACI Komolac estuary. We would pass on any captain's plan that books a Lopud Sunj Bay overnight at the bracket through the jugo window.
The pick
For two couples, 7-night Split-to-Dubrovnik southbound shape in early August at the structural peak with Split embarkation, Hvar two, Korcula one, Mljet one, Dubrovnik Komolac one with Old Town daylight and Restaurant 360 dinner: a 52 to 54m motor yacht with the 6-cabin layout, Cat A helipad, full beach club, at-anchor stabilizers, primary plus secondary tender plus chase boat, captain holding prior ACI Komolac berth tenure and DBV helipad pre-clearance, and the Restaurant 360 plus the Above 5 plus the Proto reservations arranged at contract. Budget $435K per week, all-in roughly $570K including APA at 27 percent. Booking lead time: 9 to 12 months because the ACI Komolac outer-T peak-week allocation is the binding constraint.
For a family of 10, 10-night Dubrovnik-Montenegro southern arc in late July at the bracket peak with Dubrovnik Komolac as the two-night opening base, Cavtat as the single-night shoulder, Porto Montenegro Kotor Bay as the three-night southern base, and the Dubrovnik two-night close: a 56 to 58m motor yacht with the 6-cabin layout, Cat A helipad for the DBV and the Tivat (TIV) transit, primary plus secondary tender plus chase boat, captain experience for the Croatian-Montenegrin border-crossing protocol and the Porto Montenegro berth pre-clearance, and the Restaurant 360 plus the Bugenvila Cavtat plus the Catovica Mlini Porto Montenegro reservations arranged at contract. Budget $525K per week, all-in for 10 nights roughly $975K. Booking lead time: 10 to 14 months.
For a multigenerational group of 12, 7-night Dubrovnik-and-southern Dalmatian shoulder shape in mid-September at the season close with the August Old Town daylight density easing, the Gruz cruise-window pressure lower, and the ACI Komolac more open: a 57 to 60m motor yacht with the 7-cabin layout, Cat A helipad, primary plus secondary tender plus chase boat, captain experience for the Elaphiti daylight rotation and the Cavtat southern double-bay anchor work, and the Restaurant 360 plus the Bowa Sipan plus the Bugenvila Cavtat reservations arranged at contract. Budget $530K per week, all-in roughly $720K. Booking lead time: 8 to 11 months.
