"Dubrovnik is one of the most beautiful places I've been in Croatia," Sandy remarked during the Below Deck Med Season 11 premiere. "Dubrovnik has a huge, extensive coastline, diverse anchorages, and the Old Town dates back to the 13th century. They filmed a ton of Game of Thrones there. You know how they say, "Winter's coming"? Well, for me, charter season's coming."
In fact, Captain Sandy and Chief Stew Aesha Scott even flew into town several days early to scout locations and familiarize themselves with all the town had to offer. "We want our guests to have the best," Aesha explained.
