Sailing area
On a 1 week sailing holiday head north from Dubrovnik visiting harbours and anchorages on the islands of Mljet and Sipan on your way to Korcula, a medieval town well worth exploring. See our suggested sailing itinerary below.
The marinas in Croatia offer some of the best facilities in the Mediterranean and there are laid moorings on most quays and mooring buoys in many locations. There are however harbour and mooring charges - budget for an average £2/foot/night.
You can sail to Montenegro although 45 days prior notice should be given so the official paperwork can be completed and 2 crew members need to have valid skippers licence. You must check out of Croatia and check into Montenegro and vice versa on the return trip. There is a charge for a permit to sail in Montenegro.
