Can we sail from Split to Dubrovnik?
Yes, but the success of a Split-to-Dubrovnik route depends largely on the amount of time available. While it is technically possible within a week, most sailors find the experience more enjoyable as a one-way charter or part of a longer ten-day or two-week itinerary.
A well-planned route can include Hvar, Vis, Korčula, Mljet and the Elaphiti Islands before arriving in Dubrovnik. This allows crews to experience some of Croatia's most celebrated sailing destinations without constantly feeling pressured by the schedule.
One-way charters can be particularly attractive because they eliminate the need to retrace your route. However we generally encourages careful itinerary planning to ensure the holiday remains focused on enjoyment and exploration rather than simply covering distance to meet a deadline.
