It was our second Yacht Getaways vacation, and it was just as special as the first. Last summer, we found ourselves cruising through the Ioninan Islands of Greece in pure luxury, and when we found out that Yacht Getaways had another route through Croatia, we had to go! We are going to share our experience of our seven days aboard the Dubrovnik Explorer as we sailed up the Dalmatia coast to explore some of Croatia’s most beautiful cities.
About Yacht Getaways
Yacht Getaways is a boutique cruising experience that is both luxurious and affordable. Before taking our cruise last year, I thought that only the rich and famous could sail the Mediterranean Sea. But with cruises beginning at €1200, regular couples like us can experience the luxury of cruising the crystal clear waters on our own private catamaran.

After thoroughly enjoying all the Old Town had to offer, we ordered an Uber to the Marina, where we boarded our private catamaran.
This isn’t your typical crowded Mediterranean cruise—Yacht Getaways offers an intimate experience with only a small group of guests onboard. Lucky for us, we had the best group of people to share the experience with. The international guest list included couples from New Zealand, the United States, Australia, and the UK. Not to mention this couple from Canada. It was a multicultural experience!
We sailed away from Dubrovnik at 4 pm sharp, enjoying the azure waters and gorgeous scenery. After setting up anchor, we hopped into the warm waters of the Elaphiti Islands while Lauren…
