Where do boats depart in Cavtat?
Boat services depart from Cavtat, but confirm the exact boarding point with your chosen operator. Adriana identifies a pier at Hotel Albatros as a stop on its regular line. That gives you a specific place to check when planning your arrival; don’t assume every operator uses the same pier.
Cavtat harbour is in the same town as Hotel Seventh, a four-star hotel. Before heading to the waterfront, check your booking details for the operator’s stop and any boarding instructions.
Which operators run Cavtat to Dubrovnik boat trips?
Adriana and Vivado both advertise regular boat lines between Cavtat and Dubrovnik, but their routes and departure times differ. Compare the itinerary that suits your plans rather than treating one operator’s timetable as a guide to the other’s service.
Adriana
Adriana’s regular line connects Cavtat, Plat, Mlini, Srebreno and Dubrovnik Old Town Port. The operator describes the season as April to November, with service running from April 1 to November 1. Cavtat departures are 09:00, 10:00, 11:15, 12:30, 14:30 and 16:15; some starred times operate only during parts of the year.
The journey takes 20 to 60 minutes depending on the route, with an average trip of approximately 45 minutes. Adriana advertises fares from €10 and offers one-way and return trips between towns on its line.
Vivado
Vivado’s route runs from Cavtat via Mlini, Plat and Srebreno to Dubrovnik, with some departures marked direct to Dubrovnik. Cavtat departure times include services from 09:30 through 18:00, plus a 20:45 departure that goes only to Mlini. The 18:00 service operates only in July and August.
Vivado also advertises its regular line from €10. Its timetable includes several Dubrovnik departures toward Cavtat, while its 20:00 boat goes only to Mlini. Check the destination shown for the specific departure you plan to take.
How should you plan tickets, boarding and the return?
Choose your destination and direction first, then confirm the departure and stop before buying. Both operators advertise fares from €10, and Adriana offers one-way and return journeys between the towns on its line. Check the fare and availability for your own trip rather than assuming every route or departure has the same terms.
Adriana advises using its booking engine for the most accurate departure times. Schedules can include seasonal services, so check the official site before you go. If you’re making a day trip, verify the return sailing as well as the outbound boat, and note whether the timetable shows a direct service or a route with intermediate stops.
Once you arrive, Dubrovnik Old Town Port puts you in position to plan time in the historic centre; the main sights in Dubrovnik Old Town can help shape the rest of your day.
When should you choose a bus instead?
The bus is an alternative if the boat schedule or route does not fit your plans. Libertas identifies route 10 between Dubrovnik and Cavtat as a regular service, with departures in both directions. Check its current timetable before relying on a particular departure.
If you’re comparing the two modes, look at the boat’s stops and sailing times alongside the route 10 schedule. The Cavtat to Dubrovnik bus route and ticket guide covers the bus option; use the operator’s current information to make your final timing decision.
