If you are planning your holiday on the beautiful Dubrovnik Riviera, you are probably already looking at the best ways to get around. While there are local buses and taxis available, taking a boat is hands down the most beautiful, relaxing, and memorable way to travel along the south Adriatic coast. One of the most frequent questions our guests ask is: how long is the ferry from Cavtat to Dubrovnik?
The ferry boat ride from Cavtat to the historic Old Town of Dubrovnik takes about 45 minutes. This incredibly scenic journey takes you directly from the quiet, palm-lined harbor of Cavtat right into the ancient city port of Dubrovnik. It is the perfect way to travel because it allows you to completely skip the busy summer road traffic, feel the refreshing sea breeze, and capture stunning, uninterrupted photos of the monumental stone city walls from the water as you approach the harbor.
What to Expect on the Boat Journey
The boat ride is much more than just a simple transfer; it is a scenic excursion in itself. As you leave Cavtat, you will cruise past peaceful green bays, rocky coastlines, and tiny islets scattered across the sea. The local taxi boats run frequently throughout the summer season, offering both covered seating and open decks where you can enjoy the sunshine. It is a stress-free travel option where you can just sit back, relax, and watch the spectacular coastline go by.
