Full Description & Details
ACI Marina Dubrovnik—known locally as ACI Komolac—lies inside the Rijeka Dubrovačka inlet, a 3.5 km long fjord-like waterway completely surrounded by hills 6 km north of Dubrovnik’s Old Town. It is the only major marina serving the city and a key charter base for southern Dalmatia, with itineraries reaching Mljet, Korčula, Lastovo and the Elafiti islands. The marina holds the Blue Flag and multiple national tourism-quality awards.
Protection here is outstanding. The basin is shielded from river currents by a long breakwater, while the high surrounding hills create a wind shadow from all directions, making it one of the safest marinas in Croatia even during severe Bura storms. Depths in the marina and approach range from 3 to 5 metres, accommodating vessels with a maximum draft of 5 m. There are 380 in‑water berths with potable water and metered electricity (16A, 32A, 63A). The maximum vessel length is 45 m for daily berths (40 m for annual contracts).
On‑site facilities include a fuel berth (07:00–21:00 in season), a well‑stocked chandlery, a provisioning shop, laundry, showers and WC, and a recently renovated restaurant. A travel lift and crane serve maintenance needs, while an adjacent shipyard handles repairs and minor refits. Free Wi‑Fi covers the whole marina. Transport to the Old Town (6 km away) is provided by a seasonal shuttle bus (€5–10, every 30–60 min) or by taxi/Uber (€15–20). The tiny village of Komolac is a 5‑minute walk, with a supermarket and three or four traditional konobas.
Open year‑round, the marina is floodlit at night and equipped to manage customs formalities and discharge of fecal and oily water. The approach channel is well marked with a 5‑knot speed limit; a 35 m bridge near the entrance presents no clearance problem for sailing yachts. Reception, currency exchange and parking are available.
How to get there
Approach from the south by entering the Rijeka Dubrovačka inlet just north of Dubrovnik’s commercial port. The islet of Daksa serves as a landmark; its northern‑cape lighthouse (Fl W 6s 7m 10M) at 42°40.2’ N 18°03.5’ E can be passed on any side. The inlet mouth is marked by a lighthouse on Cape Kantafig (Fl R G 2s 8m 4M).
Follow the riverbed up the fjord, passing the Mokošica lighthouse (Fl R 3s 6m 4M), to the marina at the end. After Rožat the inlet narrows and shallows, with general depths of 3–5 m. The marina monitors VHF channel 17. Dubrovnik Airport is about a 30‑minute drive; by road the marina lies off highway E751.
A seasonal shuttle bus connects to the Old Town, and taxis or ride‑hailing services are readily available. The marina offers on‑site parking. Customs clearance can be handled in the marina.
