Kotor Speedboat Escape — Full-Day Private Tour
Indulge in a full-day private speedboat escape from Kotor. Explore Boka Bay's hidden gems at your own pace, with scenic…
Croatia's most ambitious private boat day: Mljet, the Elafiti Islands, and Bowa — a legendary boat-only beach restaurant in a secret Sipan bay.
This extended voyage combines three of the Dubrovnik coast's most remarkable destinations into a single private boat experience. Designed for those who refuse to choose — between Mljet's coastline, the Elafiti's hidden coves, and lunch at Bowa.
Blue Cave Dubrovnik
Start with the Blue Cave stop near Kolocep for an early swim before the route opens toward Mljet.
Saplunara Beach Mljet
Continue to the sandy Saplunara side of Mljet for a long swimming pause, open sea views and a more remote island feel.
Optional Odysseus Cave island Mljet
When the sea is calm enough, extend the route toward Odysseus Cave on Mljet. This optional leg requires extra fuel surcharge because of the longer detour.
Prijezba beach or Bowa restaurant
On the way back through Sipan, choose between a beach pause at Prijezba or lunch at Bowa, depending on appetite, timing and sea conditions.
Our private luxury speedboat is well-equipped for the open-sea voyage to Mljet: comfortable sun cushions, quality snorkelling gear, paddleboard, refreshment cooler. Entirely private — no shared deck, no strangers, no group schedule.
Your skipper is a local professional who knows both Mljet and the Elafiti waters, times the route to maximise your time at each destination, and plans every stop around your group's preferences.
"The most incredible experience island hopping for four days and three nights. Captain Nikolai was absolutely fantastic — navigating the stunning Croatian coastline looked effortless."
"What a fabulous day with our skipper. Taken to so many beautiful spots and had an exceptional lunch at Konoba Kod Marka at Sipanska Luka. We felt the whole day was designed just for us."
This is the tour guests who want the best day of their Croatia trip book. Three destinations. A professional, attentive crew. Complete freedom to adjust the plan. Guests call it the highlight of their entire trip — more memorable than anything they found on land.
Duration: 10–12 hours
Departure: Dubrovnik Old Port
Group: Private
Includes: Skipper, crew, snorkelling gear, SUP, drinks
Note: Premium extended voyage. Fuel surcharge applies for Mljet distance and the optional Odysseus Cave detour.
Island Hopping in Dubrovnik: A Boat Tour Review (Snorkeling & More)
Lovely day spent cruising around the islands. The guide was kind but sometimes hard to hear over the boat’s engine noise. Water was stunningly clear for snorkeling, but some equipment seemed worn out. Would’ve liked more fresh gear, but still a fun day out. 👍

Marculeti....
Fantastic day spent with captain Lopo, visiting the various islands and bays that are included in this tour. He immediately grasped our sensibilities and led us to snorkeling locations that were less crowded, more peaceful, and less "covered" in visitors. After that, he drove us to an incredible cove known as Marculeti with amazing sandy beach. In the afternoon, we make a lunch stop at Bowa. Another opportunity to cool off in the water on the way back, this time surrounded by the stunning limestone, and then it was time to drive back home as the sun sank. The boat was in pristine condition, and the staff provided exceptional service. It is well worth the money to travel the length of the Dalmatian coast and visit Dubrovnik.

Relaxing day on a beautiful boat.
Captain Peter was amazing! He was very personable, professional and overall a super nice person. There were only my husband and I on the boat. The boat is beautiful, comfortable and very clean. It was not a dilapidated boat. Peter tailored the trip to our requests and took us to a restaurant on one of the small islands where my husband and I had a phenomenal lunch! Peter put everything together and we didn't feel rushed that day. I highly recommend this boat and especially Captain Peter. Thank you Peter! We will definitely book with you next time we are in Dubrovnik.

Long full-day private boat route combining Mljet scenery, Elafiti island stops, Blue Cave timing and an optional Bowa or Sipan lunch pause.
Start with the Blue Cave near Kolocep, timing the first stop for cleaner light, calmer water and a strong opening swim before the longer Mljet leg.

Blue Cave warm-up stop
Signature Blue Cave stop near Kolocep, chosen for luminous water, cave ambiance, and a strong private-boat moment close to Dubrovnik.
Early timing preferred.
Cruise onward to Saplunara Beach on Mljet for a sandy swimming stop, open-sea scenery and a longer island feel than the closer Elafiti-only routes.

Beach pause or lunch-side swim before Dubrovnik return.
Prijezba option on the Sipan return leg.
Return back to Dubrovnik by private boat, with final timing adjusted to sea conditions after the Mljet and Sipan stops.
This is one of the most ambitious Dubrovnik private boat days because it combines Mljet, the Elaphiti (Elafiti) Islands, and a Bowa-style Sipan lunch stop in one route. It is built for guests who want a long, varied day rather than a simple nearby-island swim.
Yes, that is the idea of this route. With an early start and suitable sea conditions, the boat can reach Mljet highlights such as Saplunara or Odysseus-area swimming, then return through the Elafiti Islands with stops around Kolocep, Lopud, Sipan, or Bowa depending on timing.
Bowa is a signature lunch option on Sipan and can be planned into the day when availability and timing work. Restaurant reservations, minimum spends, national park entries, and any extras are confirmed in the final offer rather than assumed automatically.
Book this tour if you want a premium full-day island expedition with longer cruising, Mljet scenery, Elafiti coves, and a destination lunch. If your group wants mostly swimming near Dubrovnik with less travel time, a dedicated Elafiti Islands tour will usually feel more relaxed.

Yes. Most private boat tours and yacht experiences can be customized within the confirmed duration of the tour. You can usually adjust the balance between sightseeing, panorama cruising, swimming, lunch, time ashore and direct transfer time.

At first, the difference is in the size of the boat, which represents how many people feel comfortable on such a boat to enjoy the sea. Then, if you are not already familiar, the ships have different equipment and designs.
Most medium-class boats are with outboard motors up to 6.5 meters long. Then come high-class boats with inboard engines, which is not necessarily the case. The biggest difference between medium and high-class boats is in the equipment and design. The high-class speedboat is mostly sporty and recommended for up to 4 people, while the medium class is recommended for 2 people.
Executive boats are 8-9 meters in size, newer years with outboard or inboard engines, but all have toilets. In the Executive class of boats, we are talking about luxury speedboats of recent years with a lot of equipment and an attractive appearance.
Motor yachts are 9 - 11 meters long, with a saloon, flybridge, kitchen, and stern for swimming. Executive motor yachts are 11 - 14 meters long, but more recently built.
Luxury yachts are a story by themselves, this is really about great luxury for people who demand such a service.
If you are not sure what kind of boat you want, consider that the captain of the boat is responsible for providing you with the best possible service. All our captains are professionals and will do everything for you to have a great time.

In April / October / November boat tours really depends on the water conditions. In case the tour can't be done due to weather conditions we will always either issue a full refund or try to postpone the tour to the next day.
The price depends on the selected route, tour duration, boat or yacht class, group size, season, fuel requirements and any optional services such as lunch, transfers, guides or special arrangements.
Shorter Dubrovnik boat tours usually have a different price structure than full-day private yacht routes or cross-border experiences such as Dubrovnik to Montenegro. For tailor-made routes, we confirm the final price in the personalized offer before booking.
Both options are possible on most private boat and yacht tours. Some guests prefer a relaxed panorama cruise with swimming stops, while others want time ashore for sightseeing, lunch or a short walk in a coastal town.
Stops ashore depend on the selected destination, local docking options, weather, sea conditions and the total tour duration. The captain and operations team will help shape a realistic route for the time available.
All our boat tours are private, without joined travellers. We can accommodate the number of guests permitted by the specific boat's licence, so please tell us your group size and we will recommend the best option.
Please contact us with your preferences and group details. We can offer everything from sleek speedboats for cave hopping to large motor yachts with shaded cabins and spacious lounge decks, and we will help match you with the right boat.
If you are celebrating a special occasion, please let us know in advance. We can help arrange special touches on board such as balloons, candles, drinks, and other decorations to make the experience more personal.
