Join us at the heart of Dubrovnik's Old Town port, right by the charming Lokanda restaurant, to embark on an extraordinary adventure! Your local skipper, known for their friendly demeanor and expertise, will be there to welcome you. They'll provide you with all the essential details about the tour, including thorough safety briefings, ensuring you're all set for a worry-free and enjoyable experience. So gear up for an adventure that promises to be nothing short of unforgettable.
Step aboard our private boat and set off on an enchanting journey to the Elafiti Islands, with the first gem on our route being Kolocep Island - a treasure just a stone's throw from Dubrovnik. Prepare to immerse yourself in an atmosphere of ultimate tranquility, surrounded by the Adriatic's mesmerizing blue waters. This is relaxation and adventure, wrapped in one. As we glide over the waves, our first destination awaits – the renowned Blue and Green caves. These natural wonders are not just sights to behold; they're experiences to dive into. Don your snorkeling gear and get ready to explore an underwater kaleidoscope, where vibrant marine life paints a scene straight out of a dream.
Prepare to bask in the sun like never before at our next breathtaking stop: Lopud Island. Famous for its stunning sandy stretch at Šunj Beach, this is your chance to embrace the ultimate beach bum lifestyle. Sink your toes into the soft, warm sand and let the sun kiss your skin, while our skipper ensures a steady supply of fresh fruits and local drinks on board for your enjoyment. Your time, your choice! Lounge on the boat and soak in the spectacular views, or step onto the beach for some serious sunbathing. And for those who love a bit of adventure, snorkeling gear is ready and waiting to help you explore the vibrant underwater world. But that's not all. As the sun begins to set, we offer an optional visit to the quaint village of Lopud. Immerse yourself in its charming ambiance and end your day with unforgettable memories. This isn't just a tour; it's a story you'll be excited to share for years to come.
Get ready to wrap up our epic private boat tour of the Elafiti Islands in style with a visit to the beautiful Šipan Island. It's the largest and most populated among the islands, but don't worry, we'll keep you far away from the tourist traps and into the hidden gems. Think turquoise blue sea, lush olive and pine trees, and the sweet sound of chirping birds. Šipan is a true oasis of tranquility that'll leave you feeling like a summer goddess. We'll start our visit in Suđurađ, a charming seaside town with not one but TWO Renaissance palaces owned by the famous Skočibuha family. The locals here are passionate about homemade goods like wine, olive oil, marmalade, fruits, and veggies - and we can set up a tasting if you're in the mood to indulge. Or, if you're feeling fancy, we can take you to a local winery for a wine, cheese, and olive oil tasting. And don't forget; we've got one last stop before we head back - the pebble beaches of the small islet called Sikirica.

Really great time at sea . You can plan your own activities
Amazing tour by Orsat! Our favorite day of the trip! Just perfect!
Excellent skipper, very friendly and knowledgeable. Relaxed adventure.
Great tour, highly recommend. The islands you see are amazing and there is plenty of time to explore.
What a wonderful review — thank you for choosing Rewind Croatia!
Such an amazing time! The Elaphiti Islands are such a treat, and all of the amazing swimming spots on the way are just as good. Our skipper Ivan was very knowledgeable of the history of Dubrovnik and the Islands and really added so much to our day out there. I would highly recommend!
Thank you for your amazing review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the trip and that our team helped make it memorable. Sharing Croatia’s beauty and culture with our guests is our greatest pleasure. We hope to see you again next season!
Truly a wonderful experience and highlight of our trip! Our captain Micheal customized our entire day and catered to our every need. The day was relaxed and he took us to the most beautiful spots that we would not have seen on other tours! The quaint lunch spot he took us to was eagerly awaiting our arrival and we ate next to the beautiful waters and had an amazing fresh lunch! Upon our return the entire family was there to greet us with an end of the day aperitif cocktail. The whole day was filled with warmth and it was obvious he truly cared about our time in Dubrovnik! Thank you it was so memorable
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your tour with Rewind Croatia. Our team loves showing guests the best of our country, and your kind words truly mean a lot. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Michael was a fantastic skipper and guide. We had an incredible day on the water with him! Upon boarding the boat, he asked if we wanted the tourist spots or secluded spots and we choose secluded. First we went for a swim in a cove of the most beautiful blue color. Then we went to Kolocep island to explore and have a drink at a waterfront restaurant. Afterwards went to another gorgeous blue cove for a swim. Then to Lopud island for lunch where Michael had called ahead and reserved us the best water front table for one of the top meals we had on our entire trip. Tableside presentation of selecting the exact whole fish or live lobsters was amazing followed by tableside filleting of the fish. After a long, relaxing and delicious lunch, we boarded the boat again to head to yet another amazing blue water cove to swim in. Afterwards on the drive back, Michael let each of the kids have a turn driving the boat all while making sure the adults kept their wine glasses full. It was an incredible day and one of all the kids (and adults) favorite from our trip. Thank you for an amazing day!
It was a pleasure having you on tour with us — we hope to welcome you back soon for another adventure! Hopefully see you again in Croatia!
One of the best days out we ever did as a family. Z was the skipper and was outstanding. He was so friendly and respectful. We were under no pressure as he made sure we had a great day. His knowledge was excellent and he recommended some amazing stops. Top class guy
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — it helps us continue to improve and create unforgettable moments.
Fantastic day with Ivan - such a happy day, very relaxed, wonderful lunch and great playlist! We really enjoyed it - totally recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review! 🌟 We're so glad to hear you had a fantastic and relaxing day with Ivan. A great lunch and the perfect playlist really do make for an unforgettable experience! 🎶🍴 Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back for more happy moments in the future! 😊✨
This was my second time having a private boat excursion with Rewind and both were incredible! Between the courteous and thoughtful booking process, the beautiful and comfortable boats, and the friendly and knowledgeable skippers, it would be hard to go wrong! While they didn’t create the islands and can’t control the weather, they know the best places to take you and will do everything they can to ensure an enjoyable experience. Both trips were 10/10 and very different from each other, but that was really based on my whims of the day. Day dreaming of the next trip with Rewind Dubrovnik ❤️
Thank you for your kind words, Kirstin! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed yourself both times and are grateful for clients like yourself, returning to have another memorable day on the sea with us! We look forward to seeing you again this coming weekend! Regards, Rewind Croatia
