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…
Consistently rated one of the best excursions from Dubrovnik Croatia — and the most rewarding Dubrovnik boat tour for travellers who love culture, history, and wine.
Just across the Pelješac Channel from the mainland, the walled city of Korčula rises from a narrow peninsula, its limestone towers reflected in the Adriatic. It's said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. It's also, quietly, one of Croatia's most beautiful places.
The best way to arrive is by private boat.
Your skipper departs Dubrovnik and heads northwest along the stunning Pelješac coast — dramatic limestone cliffs, vineyard terraces, and hidden bays that reward a swim stop on the way. The crossing takes approximately 2.5–3 hours, and the approach to Korčula from the sea is spectacular.
The return leg can include a swim stop at a secluded cove, a wine region detour toward the Pelješac vineyards (Croatia's finest reds come from here), or simply a direct return at your pace.
Korčula Old Town is one of the great surprises of the Dalmatian coast. Seen from the sea, it rises from a narrow peninsula like a fortified crown — towers, walls, and spires compressed into a space you can walk end to end in ten minutes.
The city was founded by Greek colonists in the 4th century BC. Its distinctive herringbone street plan — narrow lanes angling back and forth from a central spine — was designed to break the force of the bora wind while keeping the streets in shade during summer. Medieval urban engineering at its finest.
The Cathedral of St. Mark (14th–17th century, Venetian Gothic) anchors the old town, its carved portal and rose window rewarding close attention. Nearby, the house identified as Marco Polo's birthplace has been restored as a small museum — whether the merchant explorer was actually born here is contested by historians, but the Korčulans have believed it for centuries. The Moreška sword dance, performed here for over 400 years, is staged every Thursday evening in summer.
Our private luxury speedboat is comfortable and well-equipped for the crossing: sun cushions, refreshment cooler, quality snorkelling gear. Entirely private — no shared deck, no group schedule.
Your skipper is a local professional with extensive knowledge of these waters and the history of the places you'll visit. Attentive, flexible, and genuinely knowledgeable — they'll point out the vineyards on the Pelješac hillsides, the Ottoman fortress ruins above the bay, and the best spot for a mid-crossing swim.
"Korčula was breathtaking, but the boat journey was just as good. Our skipper found a hidden cove for a swim on the way and knew more about the history of every place we passed than any guide I've hired in Croatia."
"The private boat arrival into Korčula harbour was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Our skipper was professional, friendly, and completely tailored the day to us. Highly recommend over any group tour."
Group tours to Korčula depart on fixed schedules and spend fixed time in fixed places. A private boat with a professional local skipper gives you the freedom to arrive when you want, stay as long as you want, and fill the day with exactly what interests your group. Guests consistently call it a highlight of their entire Croatia trip.
Duration: 7–9 hours (with time in Korčula)
Departure: Dubrovnik Old Port
Group: Private (up to 12 guests)
Includes: Skipper, snorkelling gear, refreshments
Note: One-way to Korčula also available
mix of relaxation and adventure
If I had to describe it, the trip was a mix of relaxation and adventure. We booked the 6-hour option, which was the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. We were treated like friends when we stepped onto the luxurious boat. Our skipper, Mario, was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, sharing fascinating insights about the Elaphite islands and their history & nature. He also catered perfectly to our desires & timings finding secluded coves for swimming and snorkeling and recommending the great waterfront restaurant for lunch. The boat itself was clean and comfortable, offering enough space for sunbathing getting into the water, and an easy ride. This wasn't just a boat tour but a personalized, five-star experience that exceeded our expectations. We can’t recommend Tendo Luxury Travel enough for anyone looking for an exclusive and unforgettable Dubrovnik Private Boat tour adventure. We're already planning our next trip with them – maybe a visit to Mljet or Korcula next time!

Korcula by speedboat
Our captain and tour guide took us to countless beautiful islands surrounding and including Korcula and to the Elafiti Islands in a SeaRay boat and it was truly the highlight of our trip. While others were waiting in lines to take ferries to the islands we were there quickly in comfort and could maximize our time sightseeing. We are planning to return to Croatia in the next couple of years and will engage their services again!!! Our tour guide/ captain was very informative and we had a blast!!!!!

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.
