The Bari-Dubrovnik ferry was once the main link between Italy and southern Dalmatia but the rise in low-cost airlines has diminished the usefulness and hence the frequency of this line. At one time, Croatia's national ferry line, Jadrolinija, ran this route all winter. This year it's scheduled to end in November but that may change.
Croatians like to joke that Jadrolinija tries to have a different ferry schedule for every day of the year. In this case, that certainly appears to be true. Check your dates carefully.

Booking the Bari-Dubrovnik Ferry
The Bari to Dubrovnik ferry is a car ferry and the service
is handled by Jadrolinija, Croatia's national
ferry company. As with any international car ferry, I strongly recommend that you book
it in advance. In order
to book the car ferry, follow these easy steps:
Choose your vehicle make and model; if you do not know the plate number (i.e. for a rental car) simply enter "rental" in the space provided; you can notify the company later when you know the number
Follow instructions for paying by credit card and await your email confirmation and ticket which will be emailed to you.
At the Bari Ferry Port
Arrive two hours before embarkment. Bring your passport or other identifying document (see Croatia border formalities) and proceed directly to the Jadrolinija stall of the main ferry terminal. You will receive your boarding documents and information about the location and boarding time of your ferry. You will then be directed to pass through passport control.

04/02/2012 Bari to Dubrovnik Ferry: Azzurraline Out
For years there have been two companies handling the Bari to Dubrovnik ferry route. Azzurraline and Jadrolinija once crowded the Adriatic with their ships ferrying passengers between the two ports, especially during the high season. But now there’s only Jadrolinija. I confirmed with Azzurraline that they are officially out of the running this year. Of [...]more info
