A luxury yacht charter in Dubrovnik means our flagship: the Malavi 55, a 17-metre luxury yacht, from €2,550 for an 8-hour day and for custom multi-day voyages from €2,550 per day, with skipper, insurance and safety equipment included. She is based at Gruž Harbour, carries up to 12 guests with two cabins below, and is the boat we send when the plan is bigger than a single day — Mljet’s salt lakes, Korčula’s walled old town, Hvar on longer voyages, or simply three slow days of coves and konobas.
Multi-day charters are quote-only. Tell us dates, guests and appetite; you get a route, a price and a named skipper back — no checkout button, no generic packages.
The Malavi 55, our flagship
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | Malavi 55 |
| Length | 17 m |
| Guests | up to 12 |
| Cabins | 2 |
| Base charter | 8 h, from €2,550 |
| Cruising base | Gruž Harbour |
The Malavi 55 is built for exactly this coastline: fast enough to make Korčula from Gruž in a morning, comfortable enough that nobody notices the miles. A shaded aft deck and bow sunpads split the sun-worshippers from the shade-seekers; the swim platform makes every anchorage a beach; below deck, two cabins and a saloon keep a long day — or a long weekend — civilised. Captain Marko, our lead skipper with seventeen seasons on this water, takes most flagship voyages himself.
The supporting cast
Not every luxury day needs 17 metres. Three more yachts from the eight-boat fleet carry the same standard on a smaller footprint:
| Yacht | Type | Max guests | Price (per boat) |
|---|---|---|---|
| VanDutch 32 | Sport yacht, 10 m, 30 knots | 8 | from €1,500 / 4 h |
| Jeanneau Prestige 440 Fly | Flybridge yacht, 14 m, 2 cabins | 10 | from €1,600 / 4 h |
| Bond 007 | Luxury sport yacht, 35 knots, 3 cabins | 12 | from €1,900 / 4 h |
The VanDutch 32 is the minimalist’s pick — clean lines, 30 knots, and the boat we send for golden-hour runs. The Prestige 440 Fly adds a flybridge and two cabins for unhurried family days; the Bond 007, with three cabins and 35 knots on tap, is the one for a celebration that needs headroom and speed in equal measure.
Multi-day routes: Mljet, Korčula and back
The signature three-day route runs west. Day one crosses to Mljet, with a swim stop in the Elaphiti channel and the afternoon inside Mljet National Park — two saltwater lakes ringed by forest, with the boat moored at Polače for the evening. Day two continues to Korčula town for its Venetian streets and a long dinner; day three ambles home along the Pelješac coast with a lunch stop in a bay your skipper refuses to name in writing. Two-day and five-day versions stretch or compress the same bones — Hvar joins the route on the longer voyages — and our Mljet route guide shows what a park day looks like in detail.
A day aboard, hour by hour
Day one of a Mljet voyage typically runs:
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 09:00 | Depart Gruž; coffee on the aft deck as the city walls slide past |
| 10:30 | Swim stop in the Šipan channel while the crossing is still short |
| 12:30 | Konoba lunch in Šipanska Luka — the last easy table before the park |
| 15:00 | Open-water leg to Mljet; sunpads earn their keep |
| 16:30 | Moor at Polače; cycle or walk to the salt lakes before closing time |
| 19:30 | Dinner ashore, boat quiet in the bay |
Concierge extras
Everything below is arranged through the inquiry, priced into your quote, and confirmed before you pay anything:
- Private chef. We collect a chef and provisions at Gruž — lunch is cooked aboard at anchor instead of ashore.
- Restaurant bookings. Tables in Korčula, on Šipan or at Polače, reserved under your name before you cast off.
- Occasions. Birthdays, anniversaries, proposals — flowers, a specific bottle, a particular cove at a particular hour.
Pricing
| Charter | Duration | Price (per boat) |
|---|---|---|
| Malavi 55 flagship | 8 h | from €2,550 |
| Private Multi-Day / Custom Charter | custom | from €2,550/day |
| Bond 007 | 4 h | from €1,900 |
| Jeanneau Prestige 440 Fly | 4 h | from €1,600 |
| VanDutch 32 | 4 h | from €1,500 |
Every rate includes a licensed skipper, insurance and safety equipment. The multi-day rate covers the Malavi 55 and Captain Marko; mooring fees away from Gruž, park tickets and meals are itemised separately in the quote so there are no surprises. For single days, all four yachts can be taken on any standard charter subject to availability — the full price list applies, and those book instantly online.
Good to know
- Overnights. The Malavi 55’s two cabins sleep a couple or a small family aboard. On multi-day routes larger groups sleep ashore — we book harbour-front rooms in Polače or Korčula as part of the quote.
- Payment and cancellation. Day charters: paid at booking, free cancellation up to 24 hours out, with a 100% deposit refund guarantee. Multi-day voyages: terms confirmed in your written quote before any payment is taken.
- Season. May to early October is the multi-day window; June and September offer warm sea with quieter harbours. See the Elaphiti day cruise if your dates only allow a single day among the islands.
- Weather. Routes flex around the forecast — Korčula can swap for Cavtat and the south if the wind argues. Croatia’s official site, croatia.hr, is worth a look while you plan the shore days.
