Elite Big Game & Offshore Fishing: A Private Adriatic Adventure
Step aboard your private sanctuary on the Adriatic for an adrenaline-fueled offshore fishing expedition. Whether you are…
When visitors search things to do in Dubrovnik Croatia, best excursions in Dubrovnik, or Dubrovnik boat tours, private snorkelling consistently comes up as a must-do. The Dubrovnik coast offers some of the clearest, most biodiverse water in the Mediterranean — and a private boat is the only way to reach the best spots without a crowd.
The same crystal water that looks so beautiful from the boat is even more extraordinary below the surface. The Dubrovnik coast is home to some of the clearest, most biodiverse waters in the Mediterranean — and very few tourists know where the best spots are.
This private tour is built around the best snorkelling locations in the Dubrovnik area. Your skipper doesn't follow a fixed script — they read the conditions and take you to wherever the visibility is best and the crowds are fewest. That might be:
Our boats are stocked with quality snorkelling gear — masks, fins, snorkels that actually fit well and seal properly. Not the low-grade disposables that large group tours hand out. Your skipper will brief you on technique if needed, help guests who are new to snorkelling, and make sure everyone in your group gets genuinely in the water.
A private luxury speedboat, clean and comfortable, with everything you need onboard: quality snorkelling gear, paddleboard, refreshment cooler, sun cushions. Entirely private — your group, one professional skipper, total flexibility on where to go and how long to stay.
Your skipper is a local professional who knows these waters intimately. They know where the currents are gentle this week, which coves have the best visibility, and how to position the boat so you can snorkel safely and comfortably. Attentive, expert, and completely focused on your group.
"We've snorkelled in Thailand, the Maldives, and the Red Sea. The Dubrovnik coast surprised us — the clarity is exceptional. And having a private skipper who took us to a spot with zero other people was the difference maker. Brilliant experience."
"Our skipper was knowledgeable and patient with our kids, who were new to snorkelling. By the end, everyone was in the water and loving it. The trip was the highlight of our Croatia holiday — better than anything we did on land."
On a large group snorkelling tour, you go where 30 other people go, for the time allotted, with gear that was last cleaned a week ago. On a private tour, you go where the sea is best today, stay as long as you want, and have a professional crew's full attention.
Duration: 3–5 hours
Departure: Dubrovnik Old Port
Group: Private (up to 12 guests)
Includes: Skipper, quality snorkelling gear, paddleboard, soft drinks
Note: Suitable for all experience levels; beginners welcome

On the first island, with two names Kolocep / Kalamota, is a first cave (The Blue one) and you can start cave hopping in the morning. Sometimes during the high season, a lot of visitors come to this location, because of its popularity.

Explore the enchanting Green Cave, known for its hidden passages. Witness the interplay of light and water creating a magical underwater spectacle.
Depending on the flexibility you choose in communication with your captain, you may choose additional secluded snorkeling stops. This could include a cruise to a prime location for spotting marine life, octopus hunting or simply relaxing on the boat.
Relax on the comfortable deck as we cruise back to the marina, reflecting on the day's unforgettable experiences.
Bid farewell to your crew and guide as you disembark. Your luxury vehicle awaits to transport you back to your hotel, concluding your Adriatic underwater odyssey.
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.
Private boat tours to islands further away from Elafiti (Mljet, Korcula, Hvar, Vis) last a minimum of 8 hours, full-day option.

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.
