About This Activity
Private Boat Transfer from Dubrovnik to Hvar
A sea transfer from Dubrovnik to Hvar is not merely a way of getting from one island city to another — it is the day you will remember most. Covering 100 nautical miles of the southern Adriatic coast, your private boat passes the Elafiti Islands, anchors in hidden bays, makes a stop in the ancient walled city of Korčula, and delivers you directly to Hvar Old Port by late afternoon. One boat, entirely yours. One crew, entirely focused on your group.
Your Itinerary
08:30 — Hotel pickup, Dubrovnik. Your skipper meets you at your hotel. No ferry terminals, no queuing — just a short transfer to the Old Port and the start of the day.
Morning — Elafiti Islands. Heading northwest out of Dubrovnik harbour, your first stretch passes through the Elafiti archipelago — Koločep, Lopud and Šipan — a chain of protected islands where the Adriatic is quietest and most clear. Your skipper knows every passage.
Mid-morning — Marculeti Bay swim stop. The anchor goes down in a secluded cove off the Pelješac channel. Snorkelling gear and a GoPro Hero underwater camera are ready on deck. If conditions allow, your skipper may also include a stop at the Blue Cave — one of the most remarkable natural formations on the Dalmatian coast.
Late morning / midday — Korčula. A mandatory stop on this route: Korčula Old Town, the walled medieval city birthplace of Marco Polo. You have free time here for lunch at a harbourside restaurant, a walk through the old-town lanes, or an optional private guided tour of the fortifications and old town. Depending on the season and sea conditions, lunch can be organised here on Korčula or later at Šćedro Island — your skipper and crew will advise on the day.
~14:30 — Šćedro Island swim. A protected nature bay on one of the quietest outer islands of the southern Dalmatian chain. Crystal-clear water, a pine forest running to the shoreline, and complete seclusion. A final swim before the run to Hvar.
16:00–16:30 — Arrive Hvar Old Port. Your skipper docks directly on the riva. Hotel drop-off in Hvar Town — two minutes on foot from the main piazza, the Fortica fortress trail, and water-taxi connections to the Pakleni Islands.
Please note: The itinerary and time spent at each destination are subject to sea and weather conditions on the day. The 08:30 departure is recommended so the boat can return to Dubrovnik the same day and avoid night navigation. All stops are fully flexible within that window.
The Route
From Dubrovnik Old Port to Hvar Town, the full route spans approximately 100 nautical miles of the southern Adriatic coast: past the Elafiti Islands, through the Pelješac channel, across to Korčula Old Town, southwest to Šćedro, then northeast to Hvar. Hvar is around 100 nautical miles from Dubrovnik — a significant distance that means considerable boat time, crew and fuel costs. The route is a genuine full day at sea, and the price reflects the scope of the operation. Divided across a group, and against everything the day includes, it is often the most compelling value on the coast.
How Long Does the Dubrovnik to Hvar Speedboat Transfer Take?
Duration depends on the route variant you book:
| Route variant | Approx. duration | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Non-stop direct transfer | 3.5–4 hours | Transit only; no intermediate stops |
| Transfer + one swim stop | ~5–5.5 hours | One anchored swim in a sheltered bay |
| Full-day with Korčula + swim stops (this product) | 7.5–8 hours | Elafiti Islands, Marculeti Bay, Korčula Old Town, Šćedro, Hvar |
Non-stop direct transfer (available on request): A modern planing speedboat running at 20–25 knots covers the Dubrovnik–Hvar passage in approximately 3.5–4 hours under standard summer conditions (Beaufort 1–2, flat morning sea). If your itinerary calls for a swift one-way transit without stops, contact us with your dates and group size and we will price a direct option accordingly.
Sea state and the departure window — why 08:30 matters: The maestral (north-westerly sea breeze) builds reliably from around 13:00 on the open Adriatic in summer and can reach 15–20 knots by mid-afternoon on the channel between Korčula and Hvar. On any route variant, an early-morning departure keeps the most exposed open-water sections in the calmer morning hours. Our standard 08:30 start for the full-day product is not a preference — it is the professional standard for this crossing.
The full-day route — duration as experience: The 7.5–8 hour total for this product is not spent in transit. It covers the Elafiti Islands passage out of Dubrovnik, a swim in Marculeti Bay, free time in Korčula Old Town for lunch, a second swim at Šćedro Island, and private arrival at Hvar Old Port by 16:00–16:30. The distance is identical whether you stop or not; what changes is what you do with it.
Why Private Transfer Over the Ferry?
The public ferry from Dubrovnik reaches Hvar in roughly 3–4 hours — on its schedule, with its stops, and with no option to swim, explore, or linger along the way. A private transfer by boat departs on your schedule, passes the Elafiti Islands, stops in Marculeti Bay for a swim, calls at Korčula Old Town for lunch, anchors at Šćedro for a final swim, and arrives directly at Hvar Old Port, a two-minute walk from the piazza. The price is calculated per boat — not per person — and covers every element of the day. Divided across a group, the arithmetic changes considerably. More importantly, the ferry is a journey. The private transfer is the day.
What's Included
- Hotel pickup in Dubrovnik and drop-off in Hvar Town
- Private boat with English-speaking professional skipper and crew
- Fuel surcharge — included, no hidden extras
- Swim stops at Marculeti Bay, Moro Beach (Stupe) and Šćedro Island
- Free time on Korčula — optional private guided tour of the old town available
- Snacks and drinks throughout the day
- Snorkelling gear and GoPro Hero underwater camera
- Public liability insurance and VAT
Hvar: A City Built Over Centuries
Hvar Town is often celebrated for its yacht-side glamour. Look past the riva and you'll find one of the oldest continuously inhabited places on the Croatian coast. The Cathedral of St. Stephen fronts the largest town square in Croatia — an open stone piazza laid out in the 16th century under Venetian rule. Hvar's Renaissance theatre (1612) is one of the oldest public theatres in Europe, built inside the old Venetian Arsenal that once serviced war galleys. The Fortress (Španjola, 16th century) rewards the 15-minute climb with the finest panorama in the Adriatic: Hvar Town below, the Pakleni Islands scattered across the channel, and the mainland mountains in the distance.
The Boat & Crew
Our private transfer boats are built for this crossing: sun cushions, a well-stocked refreshment cooler, and snorkelling equipment for everyone on board. The boat is entirely private — no shared deck, no fixed timetable. Your skipper is a local professional with deep knowledge of these waters, attentive and completely flexible to your group.
What Guests Say
"We chose private over the ferry and it was the best travel decision of our trip. Our skipper adapted the route perfectly to our group — swim stop, Korčula old town, and then Hvar in the evening light. Perfect service."
"Professional crew, beautiful boat, and a complete willingness to adapt the route. We asked to stop at Šćedro for an extra swim — done. This is how you travel between Croatian islands."
Top Hvar Attractions After Your Arrival
Arriving by private boat transfer directly at Hvar Old Port gives you more time for the best Hvar attractions:
- Fortica fortress (Španjola) — the 16th-century citadel above the town, reached in 20 minutes on foot, with a panoramic view over the Pakleni Islands archipelago
- Pakleni Islands — take a water taxi or kayak from the port to reach these pine-covered islands with turquoise lagoons; the most popular short boat trip in Hvar Croatia
- Hvar Town square — the largest piazza in Croatia, lined with Renaissance palaces; the Cathedral of St. Stephen anchors the western end
- Renaissance Arsenal & Theatre — one of the oldest public theatres in Europe (1612), still hosting performances today
- Stari Grad — a 20-minute bus ride; UNESCO-listed Greek agricultural landscape (Hora) dating to 384 BC
Among all things to do in Hvar Croatia, the combination of Pakleni Islands by boat + Fortica fortress on foot + Old Town square consistently rates as the most complete half-day.

Great time
We had an amazing time with Frano! He tailored the trip to what we wanted (more relaxed, hanging at the boat and swimming) and took us to amazing local spots including a water front lunch. It was the highlight of our time in Dubrovnik! Thank you Frano!

Beautiful day out on the water!
We had a fantastic day on the boat with Frano during our transfer from Hvar to Dubrovnik. Frano designed a lovely itinerary and took care of all transportation from pick up at our hotel in Hvar to drop off in Dubrovnik. He arranged for a guide to meet us during our stop in Korcula where we enjoyed learning the history of this island. We had a beautiful stop to swim and then on to a fantastic lunch and more swimming. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you Frano, we will be back and hope to see you again soon!

Excellent service! Frano was extremely helpful and considerate of our needs. Our skipper was excellent as well. Frano went an extra step to retrieve a lost camera for us and send it to me via ferry. Would definitely recommend.

Best boat experience!
This was the perfect way for us to get from Hvar back to Dubrovnik! We got to stop at several islands along the way down and get out and explore, go to secret swimming spots and Frano was great at letting us choose what worked best for us. The whole experience was worth it and would recommend this over a car ride or ferry for sure!!

Markuleti Bay — First Swim Stop
⏱ 1 hourApproximately 30–40 minutes north-west of Dubrovnik, near Koločep island, your skipper drops anchor at Markuleti Bay — a sheltered cove with calm, crystal-clear water and a quieter atmosphere than the busier Elaphiti village stops. Cool off in the sea, enjoy the first drinks from the cooler, and settle into the Adriatic pace. This is the ideal introduction to the Dalmatian coast at its most unspoiled.

Korčula Old Town & Šćedro Island
⏱ 2–3 hoursKorčula Old Town is one of the Adriatic's most rewarding island stops — a compact medieval walled city with cathedral, Marco Polo heritage, and a lively waterfront market. Your skipper docks and gives the group time to walk the stone streets, visit the Cathedral of St. Mark, and browse the market stalls.
Lunch in Korčula (recommended): Ask your skipper for a current recommendation — waterfront konobas such as Konoba Maslina or Gradski Podrum are popular choices, or the skipper will know the best spot for the season.
Šćedro Island (time-permitting): If the Korčula stop wraps up within about an hour, your skipper can route via Šćedro — a quiet, pine-shaded island with turquoise lagoons just 45 minutes from Hvar. Šćedro is added when time and conditions allow, so let the skipper know early in the day if it is a priority.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the private boat transfer from Dubrovnik to Hvar take?
The transfer is a full-day sea voyage of approximately 7.5–8 hours. Departing Dubrovnik at 08:30, the route calls at Marculeti Bay for a swim, Korčula Old Town for free time and lunch, and Šćedro Island for a final swim, arriving at Hvar Old Port around 16:00–16:30. The 08:30 departure is set so the boat can return to Dubrovnik the same day and avoid night navigation. All stops and timing are subject to sea and weather conditions on the day.
Is a private boat transfer better than the ferry from Dubrovnik to Hvar?
For most travellers it is not a comparison — it is a completely different experience. The car ferry takes 3–4 hours and docks at Stari Grad harbour, requiring a further 20-minute bus to Hvar Town. A private transfer by boat departs Dubrovnik from your hotel door at 08:30, passes the Elafiti Islands, swims at Marculeti Bay, stops in Korčula Old Town for lunch, anchors at Šćedro for a final swim, and delivers you directly to Hvar Old Port by late afternoon. The price is per boat, so when divided across a group — and factoring in everything included — it is often the more practical choice.
What island stops are included on the Dubrovnik to Hvar transfer?
The full itinerary includes: the Elafiti Islands passage out of Dubrovnik, a swim stop at Marculeti Bay (with snorkelling gear and GoPro Hero on deck, and a possible Blue Cave visit if conditions allow), free time in Korčula Old Town for lunch or an optional private guided tour, and a swim at Šćedro Island before the final run to Hvar. All stops are mandatory but timing at each destination is subject to sea conditions on the day. Depending on the season and conditions, lunch can be organised on Korčula or at Šćedro — your skipper will advise.
Where does the private boat transfer arrive in Hvar?
Directly at Hvar Old Port (the riva), a two-minute walk from the main town square, the Fortica fortress trail, and water-taxi connections to the Pakleni Islands. Drop-off at your Hvar hotel is included. This is a major advantage over the standard ferry, which docks at Stari Grad harbour and requires a further bus transfer to Hvar Town.
What is included in the price of the Dubrovnik to Hvar boat transfer?
The price is per boat (not per person) and varies by vessel size and fuel consumption. It covers: hotel pickup in Dubrovnik and drop-off in Hvar Town; the boat with an English-speaking professional skipper and crew; fuel surcharge; swim stops at Marculeti Bay, Moro Beach (Stupe) and Šćedro Island; free time in Korčula Old Town with an optional private English-speaking guided tour; snacks and drinks throughout the day; snorkelling gear and a GoPro Hero underwater camera; and public liability insurance and VAT. There are no hidden extras.
Can I book a one-way transfer and return a different way?
Yes. Many guests travel from Dubrovnik to Hvar by private boat transfer and return by public catamaran or ferry. We can also arrange a return private boat transfer, or coordinate onward travel from Hvar to Split or other destinations — just let us know your plans at the time of enquiry.
Why is the Dubrovnik to Hvar private boat transfer more expensive than other day trips?
The distance is the honest answer: Dubrovnik to Hvar is approximately 100 nautical miles — one of the longest private sea-transfer routes on the Croatian coast. That distance means significant fuel consumption regardless of which vessel you choose; a speedboat burns considerably more per hour than a smaller day-charter boat. The crew — skipper and at least one deckhand — works a full operational day: preparation in Dubrovnik before departure, a full-day transfer of roughly 7.5–8 hours with guests on board (including the Korčula stop), and the return passage to Dubrovnik the same evening. The vessel itself absorbs considerable wear over a route of this length, and marine maintenance costs are proportional to distance. Add the logistics behind the service — route planning, harbour coordination in Korčula, swim stop timing, weather contingency — and you have an operation that requires genuine expertise to execute well. For groups of 6–12 guests the per-person cost often compares favourably to other forms of private travel. For smaller groups or solo travellers, the public catamaran is a practical alternative. We will always give you an honest recommendation based on your group size and budget.
Does weather affect the Dubrovnik to Hvar transfer, and how do you handle it?
Weather is actively monitored throughout the entire route — not just at departure, but at every stage of the crossing. At 100 nautical miles, this is one of the longest private transfers on the Dalmatian coast, and conditions can change significantly between Dubrovnik, the Pelješac channel, Korčula, and the outer southern islands. The most important factor is the afternoon maestral: the prevailing northwesterly wind that builds on the open Adriatic from early afternoon, typically strengthening between 13:00 and 16:00. The 08:30 departure is set so the most exposed open-water sections are sailed in the calmer morning hours, with the Korčula stop providing a natural break at midday and Hvar reached by 16:00–16:30 before conditions worsen on the final leg. Itinerary timing at each stop is subject to conditions on the day — the skipper will advise on any adjustments. For groups of 1–2 guests a modern speedboat of at least 9 metres / 30 feet is the right vessel — for example the Jeanneau Cap Camarat 9 WA, which handles open-channel conditions with stability and comfort. For 3 or more guests we recommend stepping up to a motor yacht or luxury yacht: the Jeanneau Prestige 400 Fly, Fairline Phantom 40, Sealine T51 or Ferretti 591 offer significantly more deck space, a smoother ride in a chop, and full shelter for guests who prefer to stay out of the wind. We will always advise the most suitable vessel for your group size, travel date and expected conditions.
How long does a direct, non-stop speedboat take from Dubrovnik to Hvar?
A direct, non-stop private speedboat covers the Dubrovnik–Hvar route in approximately 3.5–4 hours under standard summer conditions (flat morning sea, light wind). The exact time varies with vessel speed — a modern planing speedboat runs at 20–25 knots; a motor yacht or luxury yacht cruises at 15–20 knots and takes correspondingly longer but offers more deck comfort on a longer crossing. The product listed on this page is the full-day route with all stops (7.5–8 hours). If you need a direct transit without intermediate stops — for example, to connect with an afternoon flight from Split or reach Hvar before midday — contact us with your dates and group size and we will quote a direct-transfer option.
What factors affect the duration of the Dubrovnik to Hvar speedboat charter?
Three factors determine how long the crossing takes: distance, sea state, and vessel speed. The straight-line distance is fixed and the same for any vessel. Sea state is the main variable: the maestral (north-westerly sea breeze) builds from around 13:00 on the open Adriatic in summer and can add significant wave height on the channel between Korčula and Hvar by mid-afternoon. An 08:30 departure keeps the most exposed open-water sections in the calmer morning hours and is standard practice for professional skippers on this route. Vessel speed matters for a non-stop transit: a modern planing speedboat is fastest; a motor yacht or sailing yacht takes longer but handles open-water chop more comfortably. Route variant also affects duration — a direct transfer is 3.5–4 hours; the full-day route with Korčula and swim stops is 7.5–8 hours.
Can I book a shorter Dubrovnik to Hvar speedboat transfer — direct, without the full-day stops?
Yes. The listing on this page is our full-day private route (Elafiti Islands, swim at Marculeti Bay, Korčula Old Town, Šćedro Island, Hvar Old Port — approximately 7.5–8 hours). If your schedule requires a direct one-way transfer without intermediate stops, we can arrange a non-stop private speedboat in approximately 3.5–4 hours. Pricing is per boat and depends on vessel size and fuel consumption; it is typically lower than the full-day product because crew hours and fuel consumption are considerably less. Contact us with your departure date, group size and preferred departure time and we will send a quote within one business day.

More common travel questions
What places will we visit?
The places you visit depend on the specific private boat tour, yacht route, weather conditions and the time available on the water. Each product page lists its own suggested itinerary and main highlights.
For Dubrovnik private boat and yacht experiences, routes may include islands, secluded bays, swimming stops, coastal towns, caves, Boka Bay, Montenegro coastline or other points of interest depending on the selected tour. Final routing is agreed before departure and may be adjusted by the captain for safety and sea conditions.
Who is this shore excursion designed for?
This itinerary is designed for cruise passengers who need smooth port logistics, efficient Old Town highlights, and a reliable return-to-ship buffer.
Can the private boat route be customized?
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.
The final route always depends on yacht availability, weather, sea conditions, port rules and, for cross-border routes such as Dubrovnik to Montenegro, border formalities.
What is included in the 850 EUR special offer?
The offer includes a private yacht, professional skipper, fuel surcharge, snorkeling equipment, and a curated 4-hour route with cave and swim stops.
What private boat tour versions and combinations are available?
Private boat tours from Dubrovnik can be arranged in different versions depending on the selected product, yacht or speedboat class, destination, duration and preferred pace. Some routes are focused on swimming and hidden bays, others on coastal sightseeing, island hopping, lunch stops, transfers or cross-border yacht routes such as Dubrovnik to Montenegro.
Combinations are possible when they fit safely within the confirmed tour duration. The final plan is agreed before departure and may be adjusted according to weather, sea conditions, port rules and captain recommendation.

This shore-excursion version is route-optimized for cruise timing and operational certainty. The classic private walking tour is a broader city immersion with more flexible pacing for guests staying in Dubrovnik.
What is the price on this boat trip and do you need to prebook
Prices you can view under the options tab. You can choose to reserve now and pay later for this tour.
Is this tour suitable for families with children?
Yes. The yacht option is especially comfortable for families thanks to additional space, easier movement onboard, and smoother cruising.
What is a difference between your boat classes (medium, high, executive, luxury)
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.
How long is the experience?
It is planned as a compact highlight route suitable for common cruise windows, with exact duration confirmed against your docking schedule.
Is boat shaded
Yes, shade is a must when enjoying Dubrovnik waters!
How is this different from the speedboat tour?
The yacht tour prioritizes comfort and space for larger groups, while the speedboat tour is faster, more agile, and typically better value for smaller parties.
What if my ship arrival or departure time changes?
Our team adapts pickup/route timing around your updated schedule whenever operationally possible.

How much does a private boat or yacht tour from Dubrovnik cost?
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.
Do we only cruise by boat, or can we also stop ashore?
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.
How many guests are joining you on the boat?
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.
Do you prefer a sleek, fast speedboat for exploring caves, or a large motor yacht with a shaded cabin and lounge decks?
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.
Are you celebrating a special occasion, like a birthday, honeymoon, or anniversary?
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.
