Dubrovnik Flotilla in Croatia

The Dubrovnik flotilla offers a charming mix of Croatian islands and mainland harbours and now also includes a brand new Montenegro route capturing the breathtaking fjord of Kotor.

The Dubrovnik flotilla has been increasingly popular since its appearance in 2016. Start and finish your flotilla sailing holiday at the world famous city of Dubrovnik. Our base in the marina is situated at the end of the Rijeka (“river”) Dubrovačka inlet, very well protected and a great place from which to start your flotilla holiday in Croatia. If you arrive early, why not take a trip into the UNESCO World Heritage old town, which dates back to the 7th century.

One week the flotilla sails north to the islands of Mljet, Lastovo and Korcula, all offering some fantastic harbours and anchorages. The next week the flotilla will sail south into the stunning fjord of Kotor in Montenegro. Choose which route you prefer or why not have the best of both and book a fabulous two week flotilla!

Croatia and Montenegro have ideal conditions for a flotilla sailing holiday with reliable afternoon winds. You can expect reliable sunshine and predictable moderate to fresh winds Force 3-5, mainly in the afternoons. Summer temperatures average 26-30ºC.

This flotilla is run in conjunction with Seafarer Holidays.
