Arrive early — boarding can get busy. Even with a ticket, ferry Dubrovnik Sobra can fill up in high season. Try to be at the port 30 minutes before departure to board comfortably and choose your seat.
Booking ahead makes it easier. Avoid the summer lines and save time by booking online in advance. It’s quick, convenient, and means one less thing to worry about — especially on busy travel days.
A ticket doesn't guarantee a seat if you're late. Seats aren't assigned, and ferries can get full. Booking helps, but being on time is what gets you onboard — and lets you pick your preferred side.
Fast catamaran = quick island hop. Dubrovnik Sobra is a passenger-only fast ferry, not a car ferry. It’s a smooth and efficient ride, great for both day-trippers and island-hoppers.
Bring your own water and snacks. Onboard options are limited or sometimes unavailable. Pack a water bottle and a snack, especially if you’re heading to explore right after you arrive.
Views? Sit on the right for coastline, left for arrival scenes. The right side (starboard) offers great coastal views on departure. The left side (port) is ideal as you approach Mljet — great for that first glimpse of the island.
