Speedboat rental in Dubrovnik.

Speedboat hire in Dubrovnik: what it is good for.

Speedboat rental in Dubrovnik suits groups who want to cover distance and spend the day in the water rather than in transit. All four of our speedboats are open-deck Excursion models for up to 12 guests, with a top speed of 44 knots and a local skipper at the helm. You do not need a boating licence, because we do not rent boats without a skipper.

An open deck means wind, sun and some spray. Each boat has a bimini top for shade and sun pads at the bow and stern. There is one toilet, plus a ladder or platform for getting in and out of the sea. There are no cabins, so these are day boats only.

Half-day and full-day routes.

Most speedboat rentals run for 4 hours or a full 8-hour day. At a cruising speed of around 25 knots, the nearest Elaphiti island is about 20 minutes from Dubrovnik. Half a day is enough for several swim stops, for example on the four-hour Elaphiti Islands boat tour to Koločep, Lopud and Šipan.

Speed matters most on longer routes. A full day on a speedboat brings the outer islands within range: the Mljet National Park boat tour with its two saltwater lakes, or the walled town on the Korčula boat tour. The skipper suggests a route for the weather and your group, and changes it during the day if you want to stay longer somewhere.

What is included.

• Licensed local skipper
• Fuel for the full route
• Water, soft drinks, beer and white wine

Snacks, fruit and SUP boards vary by boat and are confirmed with your quote.

Excursion 36 or Excursion 34?

All four boats share the open layout, the bimini, sun pads fore and aft, a top speed of 44 knots and the 12-guest limit. The Excursion 36 (2026) is the newest and longest at 11 m, with twin 350 HP engines and a wide swim platform at the stern that makes getting into the sea easy. The three Excursion 34 boats (2023, 2024 and 2025) are 10.3–10.5 m long and have a boarding ladder. If the Excursion 36 is booked on your date, an Excursion 34 covers the same routes.
