The boat matched to your event will have its exact inclusions listed in your offer.

Questions about birthday cruises.

How many guests can join a birthday boat party?

Each boat takes up to 12 guests, and bigger parties sail on several boats together. The Cat 17 Epidaurum gives the most space for a gathering. We will match the right boat to your group in our offer.

Can we bring our own music and drinks?

Yes. Our boats have a sound system for your own playlist (we will send the connection method in advance) and you are welcome to bring your own beverages. Meals are not cooked or served on board, apart from light snacks and fruit.

Is the boat private to our group?

Yes, every birthday booking is completely private. The boat is reserved exclusively for you and your guests.

Can you arrange a birthday cake or decorations?

It depends on the boat. On our motor yachts we can arrange decorations and a cake. On the speedboats and catamarans we can add decorations and premium drinks only. Tell us what you have in mind and we will match the boat to it.

How much does a boat birthday party cost?

Prices are on request, because a party depends on the boat, the hours and the extras you choose. It is priced per boat, not per guest, and we reply within a few hours with an itemised offer.

Can we have a birthday dinner on the boat?

Light snacks, fruit and drinks are fine on board; for a sit-down dinner the crew books a restaurant ashore.

Planning a birthday on a yacht in Dubrovnik.

For a birthday on a yacht in Dubrovnik, start with who is coming. Each boat takes up to 12 guests, larger groups sail on several boats, and the boat type decides which extras are possible. A family day with grandparents and children has different needs from a 40th with friends, so tell us the ages in your group when you enquire.

Cake, decorations and food.

On the motor yachts we can arrange a cake and decorations, set up before you board.
On the speedboats and catamarans, decorations and premium drinks are possible.
Meals are not cooked or served on board, apart from light snacks and fruit. For a sit-down birthday lunch, the crew books a restaurant ashore on one of the islands.
Decorations and a cake usually need 48 hours’ notice.

Timing a yacht birthday in Dubrovnik.

Choose 4, 6 or 8 hours. A 4-hour trip fits a swim stop and the cake at anchor. Six or eight hours leave room for lunch ashore and a second swim in the afternoon, when the water is warmest. If you want the cake at sunset, a shorter evening trip can be built around the private sunset cruise.

You can board at Cavtat, Lapad, ACI Marina Komolac or the Old Port, whichever suits you best. On most boats, the hotel transfer within the Dubrovnik area is included. Child seats are available for the transfer.

You are welcome to bring your own drinks and send a playlist in advance. If the weather turns, the day can be moved or the deposit refunded in full, as set out in our weather policy. Celebrating before a wedding? See the bachelor and bachelorette boat party.
