Our history.

Couple toasting on the bow of a yacht in front of Dubrovnik Old Town

It started in 1997 with a single boat, back when the coves still felt like ours. Almost three decades on, we run our own fleet of motor yachts, speedboats and catamarans, crewed from Cavtat.

The company is still run by the family. Every enquiry is answered by our own team in Cavtat, and every trip is planned around the group taking it. We are a TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice winner and a Booking Manager Golden Partner.

“The best review we get is a guest who books with us again the next summer.”

Epidaurum, our sister company.

Epidaurum is run by the same family from the same dock in Cavtat. It owns part of our shared fleet, maintains the boats, and provides the jet skis, paddleboards and towables you can add to any boat day.

Get in touch.

Our family has fished, sailed and worked this water since before anyone called it a destination. Keeping it worth visiting is not a marketing line, it is the family business plan.

We anchor on sand, not seagrass

Posidonia meadows are the Adriatic's lungs and they don't grow back in a season. Our skippers know every sand patch on the route, that's where the hook goes.

Nothing goes over the side

Everything that boards with us comes back to shore with us, and the crew picks up stray plastic whenever we pass it. If you can, pack a reef-safe sunscreen for the swim stops.

Local quays, local kitchens

For lunch we stop at family-run konobas in island villages.

Dubrovnik Boat Adventure, a private boat company in Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik Boat Adventure is a private boat company in Dubrovnik that has stayed in the same family since 1997. It started with one boat; today Borna runs the company with a small team in Cavtat. The office is on the dock in Cavtat, a short drive from Dubrovnik Airport, south-east of the city along the coast.

The fleet

All tours, charters and events run on the company’s own boats with its own skippers. The boat is chosen to suit the group and the route:

  • Speedboats (Excursion 34 and Excursion 36): quick crossings to the Elaphiti Islands, swim coves and sunset runs.
  • Motor yachts (Ferretti 591, Azimut 43 Fly, Jeanneau Prestige 440): longer full days in shade and comfort, and multi-day charters with cabins.
  • Catamarans (Lux Cat Allegra, Cat 17 Epidaurum): stable decks for larger groups, celebrations and long swim stops.

The sister company Epidaurum, run from the same dock, maintains the boats and supplies the jet skis, Seabobs and paddleboards you can add to a day. You can compare the boats on the boat rental page.

Where you board

There are four boarding points: Cavtat, Lapad, ACI Marina Komolac and the Old Port in Dubrovnik. For yacht and speedboat tours, the transfer from your accommodation to the boarding point and back is included within the Dubrovnik area, so you do not need to find the quay yourself.

How booking works

  • Send an enquiry with your date, group size and the tour, charter or transfer you have in mind, through the contact form, by email or on WhatsApp.
  • The team replies within a few hours, every day from 8:00 to 20:00, with availability, a suggested route and an itemised quote by email or WhatsApp.
  • Prices are per boat, not per person. A deposit by bank transfer or secure card link confirms the date.

Safety and weather

The company has been licensed and insured since 1997, and every quote includes insurance. Skippers brief guests on the boat and the safety basics at boarding and watch the forecast before each trip. If the sea makes a trip unsafe, it is moved to another day free of charge or the deposit is refunded in full. Ready to choose a route? Start with the private boat tours.
