Perfect boat outing.

What I loved about a personalized boat trip is we could decide whether we wanted to see more little towns on separate islands or spend more time swimming at the island beach. We delighted in the extra swimming time. Franco was great explaining with a map the possible landing spots. Fresh cold water and beach towels were provided. Comfortable and a perfect way to see and feel the gorgeous Adriatic!

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!
