Dubrovnik nautical tourism stable despite visitor complaints over rising prices
Nautical tourism in Dubrovnik matches last year's levels, but visitors increasingly complain that Croatia is becoming more expensive than rival Mediterranean spots like Greece.
Dubrovnik’s ACI marina has reported stable nautical tourism numbers for the current season, matching last year's performance despite initial industry concerns over global events, including conflict in the Middle East. However, sector representatives note a growing trend of complaints from international visitors regarding rising costs.
According to reports from the coastal hub, many boaters enjoying the region's waterways have highlighted that Croatia has become noticeably more expensive compared to rival Mediterranean destinations such as Greece. Despite the price sensitivity, return visits remain steady, with the marina experiencing regular turnover during peak summer rotation periods. Local operators continue to monitor how price adjustments affect long-term competitiveness in the region.
