Frequently Asked Questions

What places will we visit ?

This private boat trip takes place in the area of the Elafite Islands, you can visit three islands, Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan, inhabited by beautiful small towns. The islands are full of beautiful architecture, created 500 or more years ago in the best possible positions in harmony with nature. Small towns were mostly created as fishing and maritime towns, while today they are attractive tourist destinations with excellent tourist offers, as well as an offer of local products, restaurants, and souvenir shops.

Could you provide more details about Elaphite islands and their significance or features?

Fast forward to the present day, and it is remarkable to see how the allure of the Elaphiti Islands has endured through the centuries. Even now, hundreds of years later, a journey to these picturesque islands remains one of the most delightful ways to find solace and respite from the crowds of tourists that populate the city. 

Just as the noble families of yore sought the calming embrace of the islands, modern visitors continue to discover that these enchanting locales provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation and a refreshing city break. The timeless charm of the Elaphiti Islands invites all who visit to experience the same tranquility and beauty that once captivated the hearts of Dubrovnik's elite. In a time long past, during the illustrious era of the Dubrovnik Republic, it was a common practice for the noble families residing in the bustling Old Town to seek refuge from the vibrant summer crowds. 

These families would often embark on tranquil retreats to the nearby Elaphiti Islands, where they could immerse themselves in the serene beauty of nature and enjoy a respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The islands offered an idyllic escape, allowing them to unwind and rejuvenate in peace. While the Elafiti archipelago is home to over twelve small islets scattered across the shimmering Adriatic Sea, the 3 islands tour specifically focuses on the three largest islands that are still inhabited and located near the historic city of Dubrovnik. 

These islands, each with their own unique charm and character, offer visitors a chance to explore vibrant local culture, stunning natural landscapes, and rich history. Rather than visiting all the tiny islets, this tour allows you to immerse yourself in the vibrant life and breathtaking scenery of the more substantial islands in the archipelago, making it an unforgettable experience for anyone looking to truly appreciate this enchanting region's beauty.

Private boat tours versions and combinations

Exciting boat tours of Dubrovnik come in a variety of versions, from which travelers can pick the one that best suits their preferences. If you are a fan of the television series Game of Thrones, you might want to take a combination cruise and walking tour to the filming locations in order to fully submerge yourself in the fictional world of the Game of Thrones. Meanwhile, full-day or half-day cruises onboard private boats to the green-covered Elafiti Islands, which include trips ashore to explore seaside scenery and picturesque villages, are available for those who are interested in catering to the needs of nature enthusiasts. This beautiful collection of islands can also be explored on a private boat excursion that lasts for four, six, or eight hours. 

Private boat tours to islands further away from Elafiti (Mljet, Korcula, Hvar, Vis) last a minimum of 8 hours, full-day option.

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.
