Šunj Beach on Lopud
One of the most common questions travelers ask is: “Do I need a boating license to rent a boat in Dubrovnik?” The answer depends on the type of rental and your experience level.
You can rent a boat in Dubrovnik without a skipper if you hold a valid international boating license (ICC) or a Croatian-approved certificate. This gives you full control and freedom to explore the Adriatic at your own pace.
No problem! You can still enjoy the sea by booking a boat rental with a professional skipper. A skipper will not only handle the navigation but also guide you to the best local spots – hidden beaches, quiet coves, and local favorites only accessible by sea.
Whether you choose a self-drive rental or a private boat tour with skipper, the experience is equally unforgettable.
