Speedboat rental 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, sun pads at the bow and stern, one toilet and 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

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
  • Towels and snorkelling gear
  • Insurance and final cleaning
  • Hotel pick-up and drop-off in the Dubrovnik area

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

How to choose between our speedboats

The differences are small: all four share the open layout, the bimini and the 12-guest limit. They come down to age, length and engines.

  • Excursion 36 (2026): the newest and longest at 11 m, with twin 350 HP engines and a wide swim platform at the stern.
  • Excursion 34 (2024): 10.5 m, 425 HP, refitted in 2026.
  • Excursion 34 (2023): 10.3 m, twin 300 HP engines, refitted in 2026.
  • Excursion 34 (2022): 10.3 m, twin 250 HP engines, refitted in 2026, with the same layout as the 2023 boat.

If the Excursion 36 is booked on your date, an Excursion 34 covers the same routes. Our guide to choosing a boat in Dubrovnik compares speedboats with motor yachts and catamarans.

Questions about speedboat rental.

Is a skipper included in the speedboat rental?
Yes. Every speedboat comes with a licensed local skipper, so you do not need a boating licence. We do not offer self-drive (bareboat) rentals.
How many people fit on a speedboat?
Each of our speedboats takes up to 12 guests. The price is for the whole boat, not per person. They are open day boats with one toilet and no overnight cabins.
Can we choose the route?
Yes. Tell us in your enquiry what you would like to see. The skipper suggests a route for the weather and your group and changes it during the day whenever you like.
What happens if the weather turns?
We watch the forecast and suggest the best window. If conditions make sailing unsafe, you can move your date or receive a full refund of your deposit.
Can we swim from the boat, and what is on board?
Yes, swim stops are part of every route. The boats have a boarding ladder or swim platform, an outdoor shower, snorkelling gear, towels, sun pads, a bimini for shade and Bluetooth audio for your music.
