Tailor made private boat tour Dubrovnik
Your boat. Your islands. Your day. Our tailor-made private tour is the most flexible experience on the Adriatic — a prof…
This extended voyage combines three of the Dubrovnik coast's most remarkable destinations into a single private boat experience. Designed for those who refuse to choose — between Mljet's wild forests, the Elafiti's hidden coves, and lunch at Bowa.
Island Mljet
Start the day heading south toward Mljet — Croatia's greenest island. Visit Odysseus's Cave, swim in emerald-clear water, and walk briefly through the national park forest.
Island Mljet: Home to a 5th-century Roman imperial palace at Polače and a 12th-century Benedictine monastery island (St. Mary's), active for 700 years until 1869. The ancient name Melita (Honey Island) fuels a long scholarly debate: was this, not Malta, where St. Paul was shipwrecked in 60 AD?
Elafiti Islands
On the return leg, the boat threads through the Elafiti archipelago — Šipan, Lopud, Koločep — stopping at hidden coves. Šipan offers Gothic-Renaissance noble villas; Lopud its Franciscan monastery and Šunj beach; Koločep its ancient olive groves and Roman ruins.
Elafiti Islands: Koločep hides Roman-era ruins and a medieval church. Lopud's extraordinary 15th-century Franciscan monastery and Ragusan noble villas tell of a time when this island rivalled Dubrovnik in wealth. Šipan holds Gothic-Renaissance palaces and a rector's villa at Suđurađ — among the finest rural Renaissance architecture on the Adriatic coast.
Bowa Beach Restaurant
Before the return to Dubrovnik, anchor at Bowa — hidden in Vrbova Bay on Šipan, accessible only by boat. The Šare family's sustainable beach restaurant serves the freshest Adriatic fish, Mali Ston oysters, and vegetables grown on the island itself, in an open-air setting of carob, fig, and olive trees above a private beach. One of the finest lunches on the entire Dalmatian coast.
Our private luxury speedboat is well-equipped for the open-sea voyage to Mljet: comfortable sun cushions, quality snorkelling gear, paddleboard, refreshment cooler. Entirely private — no shared deck, no strangers, no group schedule.
Your skipper is a local professional who knows both Mljet and the Elafiti waters, times the route to maximise your time at each destination, and plans every stop around your group's preferences.
"The most incredible experience island hopping for four days and three nights. Captain Nikolai was absolutely fantastic — navigating the stunning Croatian coastline looked effortless."
"What a fabulous day with our skipper. Taken to so many beautiful spots and had an exceptional lunch at Konoba Kod Marka at Sipanska Luka. We felt the whole day was designed just for us."
This is the tour guests who want the best day of their Croatia trip book. Three destinations. A professional, attentive crew. Complete freedom to adjust the plan. Guests call it the highlight of their entire trip — more memorable than anything they found on land.

Island Hopping in Dubrovnik: A Boat Tour Review (Snorkeling & More)
Lovely day spent cruising around the islands. The guide was kind but sometimes hard to hear over the boat’s engine noise. Water was stunningly clear for snorkeling, but some equipment seemed worn out. Would’ve liked more fresh gear, but still a fun day out. 👍

Marculeti....
Fantastic day spent with captain Lopo, visiting the various islands and bays that are included in this tour. He immediately grasped our sensibilities and led us to snorkeling locations that were less crowded, more peaceful, and less "covered" in visitors. After that, he drove us to an incredible cove known as Marculeti with amazing sandy beach. In the afternoon, we make a lunch stop at Bowa. Another opportunity to cool off in the water on the way back, this time surrounded by the stunning limestone, and then it was time to drive back home as the sun sank. The boat was in pristine condition, and the staff provided exceptional service. It is well worth the money to travel the length of the Dalmatian coast and visit Dubrovnik.

Relaxing day on a beautiful boat.
Captain Peter was amazing! He was very personable, professional and overall a super nice person. There were only my husband and I on the boat. The boat is beautiful, comfortable and very clean. It was not a dilapidated boat. Peter tailored the trip to our requests and took us to a restaurant on one of the small islands where my husband and I had a phenomenal lunch! Peter put everything together and we didn't feel rushed that day. I highly recommend this boat and especially Captain Peter. Thank you Peter! We will definitely book with you next time we are in Dubrovnik.

Embark on your private boat and set sail for Mljet. Enjoy the scenic journey along the Dubrovnik coastline.
On Kolocep island, swim through the cave, a natural wonder. First, we'll pause at the well-known Blue Cave. Going privately is the greatest way to escape crowds at the Blue Cave, one of Dubrovnik's most visited attractions.
Arrive at the enchanting Saplunara Bay on the island of Mljet. Here, you may choose to unwind upon the sun-kissed sands of Velika or Mala Saplunara Beach, dive into the crystalline waters, or wander through the charming nearby village. This serene refuge, named for its tender sands—a homage to the Latin word "sabulum"—welcomes the gentle touch of the southwest sun, shielded from the fierce Bura and Maestral winds. A peaceful bay, stretching a kilometer in length, cradles warm waters that linger like a lover's embrace throughout the seasons.
On our return journey, we'll visit Sipan, an island famous for its more than 50 medieval mansions and now a popular spot for tourists and dining. In the afternoon, we may stop at the well-known restaurant Bowa in the harbor of Vrboska. The menu features daily fresh fish, locally sourced vegetables, fruit from the restaurant's garden, and homemade olive oil from Sipan, all highlighting the region's simple, fresh ingredients. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the Adriatic Sea between the courses of your leisurely Mediterranean lunch, complemented by a glass of Peljesac wine. Immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere surrounded by carob, fig, and olive trees, with the salty breeze from the sea.
