Dubrovnik to Korčula
by private boat
By sea along the coast to Korčula town, at the time you choose — an alternative to the road over the Pelješac bridge and the ferry from Orebić.
- Korčula town or another pier
- Your own departure time
- Written quote, weather permitting
Two ways to Korčula
By sea: TP Line runs catamarans Dubrovnik–Korčula; a private boat goes when you want and can use another pier if the operator can berth there.
By road: over the Pelješac bridge to Orebić and the short Jadrolinija ferry to Dominče, a few kilometres from Korčula town. If you prefer the car, see our Dubrovnik to Korčula day trip.
Dubrovnik to Korčula water taxi or private boat
A Dubrovnik to Korčula water taxi, a Dubrovnik to Korčula boat and a Dubrovnik to Korčula private boat are one request: a licensed boat with a certified skipper, hired for your group alone. The usual departure is the port of Gruž; a hotel pier along the coast is sometimes possible, and the operator confirms it.
A longer crossing, planned around the day
This is a longer run along the coast than the island hops from Split, so the forecast matters and the operator may propose a morning departure. Tell us the number of people and bags; a small commercial boat carries at most 12 passengers under the Croatian rules, and a larger group means a larger licensed vessel. For an onward crossing from Korčula to Hvar, see Hvar to Korčula.
What your quote confirms, and what depends on the day
Your written quote states
- the departure and arrival piers, and the time;
- the boat type and its capacity, from the licensed operator who runs it;
- the road part, if your trip starts at an airport or hotel;
- the total price and the operator’s weather and cancellation terms, in writing, before anything is booked.
What depends on the day
- The weather. The skipper decides on the day. Strong wind or a high sea can delay, re-route or cancel a crossing; then we agree another time or a road and ferry alternative.
- The pier. Not every pier or beach can take a private boat. The confirmation names the exact one.
- Luggage space. Small boats have limited room, so tell us what you carry.

Questions about this crossing
Not always. The scheduled ferries and catamarans are far cheaper and fine if their times suit you. A private boat makes sense when you want your own departure time, a pier the public line does not use, or no wait with luggage.
The skipper decides on the day. Strong wind can delay, re-route or cancel a crossing — even the scheduled catamarans stop in a strong jugo or bura. Then we agree a later time or a road and ferry alternative with you. The operator’s exact weather and cancellation terms are in the written quote.
A licensed local boat operator’s, with a certified skipper. We do not own boats; we arrange the transfer, and the quote names the operator and the boat type.
We do not publish a price. It depends on the boat, the number of passengers, the season and the weather window, and it comes from the licensed operator who would run it. We reply with a written quote; nothing is booked or charged until you accept it.
