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.

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.
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.
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.

Prices you can view under the options tab. You can choose to reserve now and pay later for this tour.
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.
