10/10 — incredible day on the water from Hvar to Dubrovnik

Most incredible experience of our whole Croatia trip! I accidentally booked the wrong day and they couldn't have been more helpful — rescheduled without any fuss and even offered us a larger boat. The skipper Josip was absolutely wonderful: attentive, funny, clearly in love with these waters. He found us an unmarked beach where we swam for two hours in complete peace, then took us to a tiny island restaurant for the most amazing grilled fish I've ever eaten. The boat was beautiful, there were cold drinks flowing all day, and the arrival into Dubrovnik harbour as the sun dipped behind the city walls was straight out of a film. Would recommend to absolutely anyone visiting Croatia.

Fantastico — il miglior modo per viaggiare sull'Adriatico

We were a group of six friends, all Italian, who had spent a week island-hopping and needed to end in Dubrovnik. The private boat was perfect for our group — plenty of space, the skipper was happy to speak Italian (he had worked in Italy for several summers), and we could stop wherever we wanted along the way. We visited a small island we had never heard of, ate mussels from a bag he pulled from a cooler, and laughed for six hours straight. The boat arrived in Dubrovnik as the sun was setting and the walls were turning gold. Cinema-quality ending to a perfect trip. Absolutely book this.

Highlight of our Dalmatia trip — stunning all the way

I planned this as a surprise for my travel companion and it could not have gone better. Our skipper was waiting at the harbour with a cold bottle of rosé on ice and a route planned that took in the best of the central Dalmatian coast. We stopped twice — once for a swim in a completely clear bay where we could see the sandy bottom fifteen metres below, and once to walk through the ruins of a Roman villa on a tiny island that had about twelve permanent residents. Arrived in Dubrovnik via the sea gate with the old harbour walls above us, feeling like we had arrived somewhere truly ancient. Genuinely the finest travel experience of a trip full of very good ones.

Worth every euro — a truly special experience

I had done the ferry route before and wanted something different for my third visit to Croatia. The private boat charter delivered something very different indeed. My partner and I were the only guests, which meant the skipper could completely tailor the route to us. He asked what we liked — swimming, scenery, history — and built a journey around those preferences. We saw Hvar recede into the distance, crossed open sea to Brač, navigated through the Neretva channel, and finally approached Dubrovnik from the east as the morning light hit the city walls. It is genuinely one of the most beautiful approaches to any city I have ever seen. The skipper was proud of his country and it showed.

Incredible way to see the islands — highly recommend

After a wonderful few days in Hvar we needed to get to Dubrovnik and I had resisted the idea of sitting on a ferry for five hours. The private boat charter was the answer and it was absolutely brilliant. Our skipper was young, funny, and clearly in love with the sea and these waters. He took us through a passage between two islands that felt like it was barely wide enough for the boat, into a lagoon that felt completely secret and untouched. We arrived at our Dubrovnik hotel by water taxi having had one of the best days of the whole holiday. The sort of travel experience you tell people about for years.

Friendly skipper, beautiful coastline, excellent value

We were celebrating our twentieth anniversary and wanted the Hvar-to-Dubrovnik leg of our trip to be special. It was. The skipper turned up with a small bunch of wildflowers for my wife, which immediately set the tone for the whole journey. He knew every bay and cove between the two islands and stopped at the most beautiful spot I have ever swum in — a circular turquoise lagoon on an island whose name I still don't know. The boat was fast, modern and comfortable. The arrival into Dubrovnik old harbour, threading between the kayaks and water taxis with the walls towering above, was breathtaking. Genuinely one of the finest days of twenty years of shared travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Hvar to Dubrovnik private boat tour only transport, or can it be enjoyed as a full experience?

It can absolutely be enjoyed as part of the holiday experience. Instead of treating the return as simple transportation, the route can be shaped into a relaxed private day on the water, with scenic cruising, swim opportunities, and time to enjoy the southern Adriatic before arriving in Dubrovnik.

Can we stop at Scedro, Korcula, or quiet bays on the Hvar to Dubrovnik route?

Yes. Because this is a private boat tour, the itinerary is flexible and can often include stops around Scedro, Korcula, or selected hidden bays along the way. Exact stop planning depends on timing, weather, and how much of the day you want to devote to swimming, relaxing, and exploring.

Why does the Hvar to Dubrovnik private boat tour cost more than public transport alternatives?

The final price reflects a long one-way Adriatic route, significant fuel costs, professional crew engagement, and full private boat utilization. It is positioned for travelers who want privacy, comfort, and the freedom to customize the day, rather than a fixed public ferry-style connection.

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.

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.
