Full Description & Details
Cavtat Marina is a public port located in the town of Cavtat, on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, between Dubrovnik and Dubrovnik Airport. The port is situated west of the old town and east of the Sustjepan peninsula. It offers a maximum depth of 4 meters and can accommodate vessels up to 60 meters in length, with a maximum draft of 3 meters. The marina provides 60 berths, and during the summer, yachts typically moor bow or stern in water depths of 1.5 to 4 meters.
The harbor is often full, with many spots pre-reserved, so it is advisable to book ahead. The port is generally well-protected, but it can become challenging during westerly winds, when motorboat traffic can increase wave activity. Mooring buoys and anchoring are available for a fee in 8-15 meters of water in the south of the bay, protected by the high peninsula. The marina offers a range of services including electricity, water, showers, restrooms, fuel, sewage disposal, WiFi, a boat ramp, recycling, bicycles, car rental, video surveillance, a night watchman, a laundromat, ice for sale, and a restaurant.
The port is a customs port, and vessels entering or leaving from Montenegro must check in or out at the customs 'Q' quay, which is open daily from 8:00 to 20:00. The surrounding town of Cavtat offers accommodations, restaurants, and fish markets, with top-rated establishments including Villa Radovic, Hotel Cavtat, Restaurant Bugenvila, and Taverna Domizana.
