Islands, coves and lunch ashore.

A typical day starts with a swim in a quiet cove before the tour boats arrive. Next comes a walk through an island village, and the day ends with a long lunch on a terrace above the sea. On the way back you pass the Old Town walls from the water. Before you choose, read our Elaphiti Islands guide, Mljet in a day and Korčula in a day.

Questions about boat tours.

Are the tours private?
Always. Every tour is your group only, with no strangers aboard, and the boat and crew are yours for the trip. Full-day timings are flexible; half-day tours usually run 10:00–14:00 or 15:00–19:00.
What’s included?
Skipper, fuel, insurance and final cleaning are always included; drinks, towels and snorkelling gear are aboard most boats; snacks depend on the boat. The whole boat is yours, not per person. Park fees and lunch ashore are extra and listed clearly in your offer.
Half-day or full-day, which should I pick?
A half-day (usually 4 hours, 10:00–14:00 or 15:00–19:00) covers one island, a swim stop or the sunset. A full day (8–10 hours) reaches Mljet, Korčula or the Bay of Kotor. If you are unsure, send your dates and we will suggest one.
Can we customise the route?
Yes. Any tour can be adjusted, or we build a completely different day around you, even with places not listed here, on our tailor-made tours page.
What happens if the weather turns?
We watch the forecast and will advise the best window. If conditions are not suitable for safe cruising, we offer you the option to reschedule or receive a full refund of your deposit. The skipper decides whether conditions are safe. See our terms and conditions.
How much does a private boat tour cost?
Prices are on request. Every trip is quoted individually because the price depends on the season, the boat, the route and the length of the day. It is for the whole boat, never per person, so twelve guests pay the same as two. Send your date and group size and we reply within a few hours with an itemised offer, with no obligation to book.
Do your tours include hotel pick-up?
On most boats, yes, within the Dubrovnik area. We confirm it for your boat and route with the offer.
Do you run shared group boat trips?
No. Every trip is private to your group, up to 12 guests per boat; larger groups sail on several boats.
Which tour is best with children?
A half-day with short legs and easy swim spots, such as the Elaphiti Islands or Cavtat; the Blue Cave suits older children who swim confidently. On longer days, a catamaran or motor yacht for the space and shade.

How private boat tours in Dubrovnik work.

On our private boat tours in Dubrovnik, the boat, the skipper and the day belong to your group alone. You pick a route from the list above or describe what you want, even places that are not on the list. In the morning, the skipper sets the order of stops according to the wind and where the other boats are heading. Swim stops, lunch and time ashore can be longer or shorter than planned.

Half-day or full-day.

  • Half-day tours (usually 4 hours) cover one island, the Blue Cave, a couple of swim coves or the sunset. They suit families with small children and anyone arriving or leaving the same day.
  • Full-day tours (8–10 hours) reach Mljet, Korčula or the Bay of Kotor, or let you spend a slow day across the Elaphiti Islands with lunch ashore.

Boarding points and what is included.

You board at Cavtat, Lapad, ACI Marina Komolac or the Old Port. On most boats, the transfer from your accommodation within the Dubrovnik area is included; we confirm it for your boat and route in the offer. Every quote covers the skipper, fuel, insurance and final cleaning. Drinks, towels and snorkelling gear are aboard most boats, and snacks depend on the boat. National park tickets and lunch ashore are paid separately and listed in the offer.

Bring swimwear, a hat and reef-safe sunscreen; the boat day packing list covers the rest.
