It’s always an adventure in Croatia when you’re on a yacht! 🚤✨ This day’s journey to shore meant crossing 5 other ships in Dubrovnik—why, you ask? Because when the harbor’s full, yachts dock side-by-side, creating a little ‘hopscotch’ game to make it to shore. It’s all part of the fun! FYI, this wasn’t the MOST ships we had to cross! 🇭🇷 #YachtLife #Dubrovnik #Croatia #TravelWithDirection

Floating through Mljet National Park with @Yacht Club Croatia Hidden between the saltwater lakes and lush forest, there’s this natural lazy river where the current carries you along.

Reviews Summary

Yacht Club Orsan is celebrated for its stunning waterfront location and delicious, generous portions of Croatian seafood, particularly the black risotto and grilled octopus. While most diners praise the friendly service and good value for money, some have noted occasional delays in food service.

"We had a lovely Croatian red wine, fish soup, black cuttlefish risotto and seafood tagliatelle. Portion sizes were very generous and the complimentary bread was delicious and fresh. We both enjoyed our meal, in a beautiful setting. Not much of an atmosphere but here out of season, so not the restaurant’s fault. Good value for money too! Thank you Rada for your friendly service and wine recommendations!"

Suzanne Abraham

"Found this on google map, I was surprised by the view!
The Best restaurant I even had in Croatia, amazing good quality food and service! Thank you🫶🏼❤️ You could sit next to the crystal blue water and even see the fish swimming, love the view and decent setting.
strongly recommend here for a lunch or dinner !

Compare other local seaside restaurants with overpriced food, this restaurant is far beyond the others and worth to visit!"

Mjay Lai

"Despite waiting around 2 hours for the main course, everything was nice. The soup was good and worth the price. For the main, I chose past with sea food and worth the wait.The staff are friendly and kind but for some reason there was something wrong in the kitchen and the order was not taken, that’s the reason of the delay and that can happen sometimes."

This restaurant, known for serving the freshest of the fresh seafood, sets its tables right at the edge of Gruz Bay, and diners can look out on the bobbing boats and hear the gentle lap of waves during dinner. The price of fish by the kilo can get expensive, however, the oysters are surprisingly budget-friendly, as is the house wine, which is pretty descent. Seafood risotto and rib-eye steak are also recommended.
