Sun Odyssey 33i sailboat – Dubrovnik

Yacht Overview

We’ve guided many guests through the Adriatic, and the route around Dubrovnik always delivers that “wow” feeling—especially when you sail in comfort. The Sun Odyssey 33i (built in 2014) is a nimble sailboat made for rental trips, perfect for couples, small families, or a group of friends who want a relaxed pace without sacrificing handling.

This 9.96 m cruiser offers 2 cabins with berths for 4 in cabins plus an extra sleeping option, so everyone can settle in after a swim in the clear water. We’ve noticed that guests who choose this layout love the balance: it feels compact in marinas, yet surprisingly roomy once you’re anchored off the coast.

Based on our experience, Dubrovnik is at its best when you can plan freely—one day you’re gliding toward nearby islands, the next you’re staying close to the city lights. With a GPS plotter and autopilot, the boat helps you keep your course with less fatigue, while the roll genoa and roll main sail make sail handling straightforward when the breeze shifts.

On warm afternoons, the bimini top and sprayhood are more than nice extras—they keep the cockpit usable for hours. We also recommend taking advantage of practical touches like the cockpit shower and the refrigerator for cold drinks between swims. After sunset, hot water and fresh bedding (bedlinen and towels) make the return onboard feel truly comfortable.

And yes, we’ve seen guests smile at the small details: the electric anchor windlass for easier arrivals, the shore connection 220 V for convenience, and the tender for reaching calmer coves. Croatia’s coast deserves a sailboat that’s ready when you are—this one is.
