Your Bespoke Experience

Private Boat Tour Dubrovnik

Our private boat tours in Dubrovnik are fully tailor-made to your group, pace, and travel style. Choose a half-day or full-day speedboat or yacht itinerary, from standard to premium and luxury, with a licensed local skipper and optional concierge add-ons.

About This Activity

Your boat. Your islands. Your day. Our tailor-made private tour is the most flexible experience on the Adriatic — a professional local skipper, luxury speedboat, and complete freedom to build the perfect Croatian day.

Your Perfect Dubrovnik Boat Day

Island hopping through the Elaphiti Islands. Swimming at the Blue Cave. Lunch at a boat-only island restaurant. These are the things travellers dream about when they search things to do in Dubrovnik — and the tailor-made private boat tour delivers them all, on your schedule.

Every group is different. Some want non-stop swimming and adventure. Some want a long lunch on a quiet island with no agenda whatsoever. Some want to watch Dubrovnik from the water at golden hour with champagne in hand.

The tailor-made private boat tour was created because your time on the Adriatic should be exactly what you want it to be.

How It Works

Before your tour, we discuss: How many hours do you have? Which islands appeal? Do you want to prioritise swimming, history, food, or just being on the water? Any celebrations, dietary needs, or special requests?

Your skipper uses this conversation to map out a route — and then adapts it on the day as preferences shift, conditions change, and the best spots reveal themselves. This is how private boat touring should work.

What's Available

Your skipper can take you to any combination of:

  • Elafiti Islands — Koločep, Lopud, Šipan: car-free, genuinely local, historically rich

  • Blue Cave & Green Cave — the crown jewels of the Dubrovnik coast, timed to avoid crowds

  • Šunj Beach, Lopud — one of Dalmatia's finest sandy beaches

  • Marculeti Bay — a sheltered turquoise bay that rarely appears on shared tour maps

  • Mljet — Croatia's greenest island, for those with the time for a full-day voyage

  • Korčula — medieval walled city, alleged birthplace of Marco Polo

  • Bowa Restaurant — sustainable beach restaurant in Vrbova Bay, accessible only by boat

  • Konoba Kod Marka, Šipan — legendary island seafood, beloved by local skippers and their guests

    Kobaš bay — unique hedonism experience

The Boat & Crew

Our private luxury speedboats are maintained to the highest standard: clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with quality snorkelling gear, a paddleboard, a refreshment cooler, and sun cushions. The boat is entirely private — your group, no strangers, complete freedom.

Your skipper is a local professional who has spent years navigating these waters and genuinely loves them. They know the coves that don't appear on maps, the restaurants worth calling ahead for, and the timing tricks that get you to the best spots before the crowds. Attentive, flexible, and completely dedicated to your group.

What Guests Say

"We described what we wanted — a mix of swimming, a proper Croatian lunch, and something unexpected — and our skipper delivered all three and then some. The most professionally run private tour I've taken anywhere in the world."

"Every group is different and our skipper understood that from the first ten minutes. Completely tailored, completely relaxed, completely unforgettable. Highlight of Croatia."

Why This Is Different

A tailor-made tour isn't just a boat and a list of places to visit. It's a professional crew whose entire focus is on giving your group the best possible day on the water. Trip after trip, guests tell us it was the highlight of their entire Croatia visit — not the Old City walls, not any restaurant, not any other excursion. The private boat, the expert skipper, the total freedom.

Vito was a great tour guide

Vito was a great tour guide and the boat was clean and spacious. The lunch stop was the best meal we have had on our vacation.

Fun and relaxing boat cruise

My wife and I had such a blast on the boat with Toni! He was a really great skipper – super friendly, funny, and we always felt like we were in safe hands. Honestly, the whole trip was just amazing, and we'd absolutely book it again.

Whole day experience

Tony was our skipper and he was awesome! Super friendly and really knew his stuff, taking us to all the best hidden gems. We stopped at Lopud Island for lunch, which was perfect. Seriously, what a gorgeous day! I'd definitely recommend booking a trip. Just a heads up: bring your own booze and ice, although Tony did have water and soda on board for us.

Amazing snorkeling in the bluest waters with an awesome guide!

We had an amazing day out on a beautiful 28-foot boat! Tony was our guide, and he was fantastic. He really knew his stuff – not just about navigating the waters, but also about the history of the whole area. Plus, he’s a super skilled captain. We lucked out with the weather, although it was a bit choppy around the Blue Cave. Tony handled it like a pro, though, and quickly changed our plans to head to a calmer spot near the Green Cave instead. After that, we stopped at a lovely sandy beach, and then finally made it to the Blue Lagoon. The boat had everything we needed: snorkeling gear, a SUP board, snacks, drinks, even wine! Seriously, it was a beautiful and memorable day. We’re wishing Tony all the best with his wedding and his honeymoon road trip across the US!

Toni is the BEST!!!

Seriously, Toni was incredible! Hands down the best captain I've ever had the pleasure of sailing with. I went on this boat tour with three friends, and Toni totally made it the highlight of our whole vacation. He was so welcoming right from the start, and his knowledge about the area was just amazing. Plus, he's hilarious! He took us to some truly stunning spots, and even booked us a table at this amazing restaurant that ended up being the best lunch we had the entire trip. He was always checking in to make sure we were having a great time. I honestly can't recommend him enough!

Phenomenal private boat tour with Toni!

We had an absolutely incredible time with Toni on our private boat tour! We were out from 2:00 PM until 8:30 PM, exploring all around the islands. Toni made sure we had time to chill on a local beach, paddle around, and just relax. He even arranged reservations for us at a fantastic restaurant right on the water. But the highlight was definitely when Toni took us to this secluded spot only reachable by boat – an absolutely stunning area surrounded by trees. We swam there as the sun was setting; it was so peaceful and beautiful. And then the boat ride back during sunset? Magical. Honestly, the whole experience was magical. We seriously didn't want it to end. I can't recommend the private boat tour and especially Toni enough!

Frequently Asked 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.

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 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.

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.

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 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?
