About This Experience
Dubrovnik turns gold from the water.
Dubrovnik's Most Beautiful Hour — From the Sea
There's a reason Dubrovnik is called the Pearl of the Adriatic. And there's no better way to see it than from the water as the sun sets behind the ancient walls, painting the city in shades of amber and rose.
Our private sunset boat tour is an intimate, unhurried experience crafted for couples, families, and anyone who wants to end the day on a high note.
The Experience
Your private skipper departs Dubrovnik Old Port in the early evening and pilots along the coast — past the old city walls, the Lokrum island cliffs, and the Elafiti shoreline — timing the route to arrive at the best vantage point exactly as the golden hour peaks. Stop to swim. Pop a bottle. Just float and watch.
The entire route is tailored: prefer to stay close to the walls and watch the light change on the old stones? Happy to slow down at the Elafiti coast and let the sunset unfold over the islands? Your skipper will build the evening around what you want.
Private Boat & Expert Skipper
Onboard: chilled drinks, comfortable sun cushions, a sound system. Our boats are meticulously clean and regularly serviced — a private luxury speedboat, not a crowded sunset catamaran with 40 strangers. Your skipper is a local professional, attentive and completely focused on your group.
What Guests Say
"The most romantic evening I've ever had. Our skipper positioned the boat perfectly, had chilled champagne waiting, and knew exactly when and where to anchor for the best light. We didn't want to go back."
"We've done sunset cruises in Santorini and the Maldives. This was genuinely better — because it was just us, a great skipper, and complete freedom."
Why Private Changes Everything
No strangers. No schedule. No tour guide with a flag. Just your group, a professional crew, and Dubrovnik turning gold in front of you. Guests consistently call it the highlight of their trip to Croatia.
Also Popular: Pair With Island Hopping
Dubrovnik's most popular boat activity is island hopping through the Elaphiti Islands (Koločep, Lopud, Šipan). Many guests combine a morning island excursion with a private sunset tour in the evening — two of the top things to do in Dubrovnik, done in one day.

Must Do Excursion
Frano was the absolute best! I was vacationing in Dubrovnik to celebrate my birthday and wanted a fun day on the water. Frano delivered! He communicated well prior to the trip, he scheduled our hotel pickup, made reservations at a fabulous restaurant for lunch, and took us to a super cool island beach bar. He had snorkel gear and took picked spots that weren't flooded with tourists so we could actually see some fish. He was really knowledgeable about Croatia in general and shared so much information we never would have learned otherwise. It was truly the perfect day! By the end, it felt like leaving an old friend. Highly recommend you book with Frano--worth every cent!

Amazing Private Boat Tour
This boat tour was definitely the highlight of my vacation in Dubrovnik! The host Franky is very fun to be around and made sure to avoid peak tourist hours on certain islands so that we could enjoy the beautiful scenery in peace…. Just perfect!

Great boat trip
Great moment on the bat. Very pleasant moment. The islands were nice to visit and spend some time. The water cruise the highlight. The biggest advantage is that since it is private you can personalize the tour. Highly recommend

Private boat charter in Dubrovnik
I booked a private boat tour in Dubrovnik with Frano. First, he was very responsive to emails. The boat was exactly as he confirmed via email. Frano also is a great skipper, very professional and respect privacy. During the tour, we visited three islands with sea caves, sandy beaches, and great waterfront restaurant. I recommend this company to everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.

The price depends on the selected route, tour duration, boat or yacht class, group size, season, fuel requirements and any optional services such as lunch, transfers, guides or special arrangements.
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.
How many guests are joining you on the boat?
All our boat tours are private, without joined travellers. We can accommodate the number of guests permitted by the specific boat's licence, so please tell us your group size and we will recommend the best option.
