Before you book travel, confirm that your charter company lets you leave the boat in Dubrovnik, and agree the handover place and time. [How yacht charter in Croatia works](https://olasail.com/charter/). - Starting in Dubrovnik: From Dubrovnik to Split you sail the same legs, 148 NM (Measured by us, 7 Oct 2026), in the opposite order, so every day from the third has an open crossing, the last of them on the final day into Split (Measured by us, 5 Oct 2026), and the boat is due back at the base on Friday evening (From the operator, 26 Sep 2026). We plan and price this week from Split, and our day notes and Plan Bs are written for the way south. Each Plan B is another night where you are, so going north a day waiting for the weather comes out of the days the later crossings need, and the last day into Split has no Plan B. Going north you also head into the maestral, the usual summer north-westerly, strongest in the afternoon (Third-party source, 26 Sep 2026), on the crossings from Mljet to Vis. A one-way fee applies whichever way you sail. [Choosing a base](https://olasail.com/charter/bases/) compares Split and Dubrovnik. Board late in Dubrovnik? Sleep at ACI Marina Dubrovnik and leave early next morning. Buy the Mljet park ticket online (Official source, 26 Sep 2026) before you leave Šipan, and the Lastovo one online (Official source, 30 Sep 2026) before you leave Mljet. In Polače, see the lakes the afternoon you arrive, so you can leave early for Lastovo next morning. - A loop instead: To end where you start, with no one-way fee: [seven days from Split](https://olasail.com/routes/split-seven-days/) goes out to Vis and back, and [two weeks from Split](https://olasail.com/routes/two-weeks-from-split/) sails these southern islands and comes back.

Agree with the charter company what it arranges, such as a skipper. Most nights are booked during the week, once you know the weather. [What to agree before you pay](https://olasail.com/charter/booking/#arrangements) ## What Split to Dubrovnik in a week costs A week on this route, 7 nights and 148 NM from Split, costs about €1,250 to €3,100 a guest for a crew of 6: about €1,250 at anchor and cooking aboard, €1,560 on the nights we plan with dinner ashore, and €3,100 in the dearest berths on a catamaran with a skipper.
