I booked a private boat trip through my hotel, and it was genuinely the best boat trip I’ve ever had!
The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. The company arranged pick-up from my hotel and dropped me back afterwards, making everything incredibly easy and stress-free. Both drivers were extremely friendly, helpful and professional.
My skipper, Joseph, was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He also recommended a fantastic restaurant for lunch, which was a great addition to the day.
The boat itself was spotless, comfortable and very aesthetically pleasing — perfect for taking photos. The views were incredible, and the sunset was absolutely unforgettable.
Everything was so well organised, and the service throughout was excellent. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough and would definitely book with them again!

Best day on the water - book this tour!
Highly recommend taking this boat tour with Šime! It was an easy meetup in the harbor, he drove the boat right up to us. The boat was very comfortable and smooth on the water - it was well worth being in a larger boat even for just the 2 of us. Šime provided towels, water, sodas, local wine, floats, and snorkeling equipment, which was very thoughtful and convenient. At each of the stops, we were able to spend as much or as little time as we liked, and Šime advised us to help avoid the larger crowds that come with the large tour boats. We enjoyed swimming in the caves, the delicious lunch spot we stopped at, and swimming after privately in a cove! We could have opted to stop in another town on one of the islands, but we just wanted to do more swimming since the water felt so great.
Šime is a wonderful guide, and even more so we enjoyed talking with him during our time on his boat. He is such a pleasant and positive person to be around, it added so much fun to our day.
Book this tour. You will be so glad you did, and will have the best day!

Great flexible experience
Great customizable experience! Our skipper Slavko was super friendly and curated our day with all the best places to swim and explore. We did an 8 hours tour and never felt rushed at each stop. Super relaxed atmosphere, the boat had everything we needed. It was great to have our own boat to arrive and leave whenever we wanted to avoid crowds. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a flexible experience!

A Great Vibes, Private Elaphite Island Tour
Our 6 hour cruise of the Elaphite Islands was EXCELLENT! Thanks to our great vibes Skipper Simon (Sime) we were able to swim inside the gorgeous blue cave and several other caves (some with bats!) with just our group of four people and no crowds. We did some cliff jumping, had some great drinks on Sunj beach, had a quick lunch in the town of Lopud island and then found a quiet empty cove to snorkel and swim by ourselves. It was the perfect day! Thank you Sime!!

Thank you so much for this amazing review! It was an absolute pleasure having the four of you on board, and I’m so happy to hear that you had the perfect day exploring the Elaphiti Islands with me. 😊
I’m especially glad we managed to find those quieter spots and enjoy the caves, including the ones with bats, without the crowds. The cliff jumping, swimming and snorkelling, drinks at Šunj, and lunch in Lopud made for a pretty great combination!
For me, the best part of a private tour is being able to adapt the day to what you want and find those special places where you can simply enjoy the sea without feeling rushed.
Thank you for your kind words and for choosing to spend the day with me. I really appreciate it, and I hope to see you back in Dubrovnik for another adventure on the Adriatic! 🌊☀️🍹

Dubrovnik private speedboat experience
We had an absolutely amazing full-day speedboat experience! We went on private full day speedboat excursion (we are family of 6, 4 adults and 2 children, 3 and 5 years old). Our skipper, Slavko, made the day unforgettable. He took us to all the hidden gems of the Dubrovački akvatorij, including stunning sea caves and beautiful secluded spots we would never have found on our own.
We also spent a wonderful afternoon on Lopud Island, where we had plenty of time to relax, swim, and explore. To top it all off, Slavko made sure we enjoyed the most breathtaking views of Dubrovnik just before sunset, it was the perfect ending to an incredible day.
Slavko was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the trip. If you're looking for the best way to experience the Dubrovnik coastline, we couldn't recommend Šime (one of skippers who we booked with this tour) and Slavko more highly. It was truly one of the highlights of our holiday!

We’ll definitely share your wonderful feedback with him!
It sounds like you had a perfect day — exploring the caves and secluded spots, enjoying the afternoon on Lopud, and then finishing with those beautiful Dubrovnik views just before sunset. What a way to end the day!
Thank you also for mentioning me and for your kind recommendation. It was a pleasure helping you arrange your boat experience, and I’m so happy that everything worked out so well.

Book this trip
We came with our two friends, and I can only describe this as the best boat trip ever! I’ve done quite a few boat trips and this by far was the best. Slavko was so informative of the islands and caves we went to and shared a lot of local knowledge about where’s best to go out and tips and tricks to save money where we can! He showed us around romantic cave and gave us extensive knowledge and was so patient with us when we were apprehensive! I will say he is the best tour guide ever! Simon and Nikola who helped us organise the trip were amazing and informative, answering all our questions even the silly ones and again were so patient with us! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will be telling all our friends and family and really anyone who’ll listen to book here! We’ll definitely be coming back to Croatia and the first thing we’ll be booking is this boat tour again!
