About the experience

FUEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE. FOR THIS 4 H EXPERIENCE APROX PRICE IS 150 EURO.
This 4-hour half-day boat trip is the perfect way to experience the highlights of the Elaphiti Islands in just one outing. Visiting Kalamota, the Blue Cave, and Lopud, the tour blends swimming, exploration, and relaxation into a short yet memorable Adriatic adventure.

The journey begins at Kalamota (Koločep), the closest of the Elaphiti Islands, known for its lush greenery, quiet coves, and crystal-clear waters. Here you can enjoy a refreshing swim or simply relax in the tranquil surroundings that make this island such a hidden gem.

From there, the boat takes you to the Blue Cave, one of the most magical spots on the Elaphiti Islands. Swimming inside the cave reveals a surreal scene, as sunlight reflects off the seabed and fills the water with a glowing blue light. It’s a unique and unforgettable experience that sets this tour apart.

The final stop is Lopud, a charming island with sandy beaches, historic architecture, and a laid-back atmosphere. You can take a swim at the famous Šunj Beach, stroll along the waterfront promenade, or simply relax with a drink by the sea. Lopud perfectly combines natural beauty with a touch of local culture.

In just four hours, this half-day escape offers a taste of everything — hidden bays, natural wonders, and island charm. It’s ideal for travelers short on time who still want to discover the magic of the Elaphiti Islands, with enough variety to make the trip feel like a full Adriatic experience.

    We had the most amazing day exploring the Elaphiti Islands on our private yacht tour with Captain Josip! From the moment we stepped on board, everything was perfect — the boat was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing day on the water. Josip was an incredible host — friendly, knowledgeable, and easygoing. He took us to some beautiful hidden bays for swimming and snorkeling, and even suggested a fantastic local restaurant for lunch on one of the islands. His local stories and tips made the whole experience even more special. The views of Dubrovnik from the sea were breathtaking, and we loved visiting Koločep, Lopud, and Šipan — each island had its own charm. It truly felt like a tailor-made day, perfectly paced between adventure and relaxation. We can’t recommend this experience enough! If you’re visiting Dubrovnik, spending a day out on the water with Captain Josip is an absolute must. We’ll definitely be back next summer!

    We had an amazing half-day on the Jeanneau Prestige 36 Fly exploring the Elaphiti Islands. The boat was spacious and comfortable, with a great flybridge for relaxing. Our skipper Josip was fantastic—professional, friendly, and took us to beautiful swimming spots and hidden caves. The views of Dubrovnik from the sea were breathtaking, and the clear waters around the islands made for perfect snorkeling. A wonderful mix of comfort and adventure—highly recommended!

    We had an absolutely amazing full-day excursion to the Elaphiti Islands aboard the Jeanneau Prestige 36 with Captain Josip. There were 8 of us, and the boat was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our group. Josip was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional – he made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped aboard. The islands were stunning, with crystal-clear waters, quiet coves for swimming, and beautiful villages to explore. Josip tailored the route to our preferences and gave great recommendations for lunch and snorkeling spots. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to relax, swim, and enjoy the scenery. The whole experience felt luxurious, yet relaxed – the perfect way to explore the Dubrovnik coastline. If you’re looking for a private boat tour around the Elaphiti Islands, we can’t recommend Josip and his Prestige 36 highly enough. A perfect day at sea!

    The boat trip with Josip was the peak of our 4-5day holiday with good friends! We were 8 friends on board, but the boat was big enough and perfect for us. Thanks Josip, we had a great time! We might come back in a few years. If so, we will contact you again, for new adventures. Maybe unders sails this time 🙂👍

    We went out as a family, 3 generations, and all had a wonderful time! Josip truly made our day incredible. He gave us great options, and encouraged us to customize our day as we went along. During the voyage Josip, was attentive and engaging. With the teenage boys he realized they were into their music so he had them connect to Bluetooth. That was fun for them. For the adults, he kept our glasses full and was a great conversationalist. He shared so much about this beautiful country ❤️. He was really able to time some stops too so we never felt overly crowded. And we never felt rushed! It just was a highlight of our trip. When we come back we will be reaching out to Josip once again!! Thank you Josip. We truly felt like family for the day!!! Have a great season and God willing we will see you again soon!!

    We had an amazing day with Josip our boat captain! We had incredible time with good music, cold complimentary drinks and wonderful places. Josip took us to the best beaches and locations around the area. We do diving, jumping off boat, swimming to isolated island locations and watch the sunset on the way back home (if you get a late start to your trip).

    If you’re looking for a unique way to explore the Dubrovnik Walls, I highly recommend booking a tour with Josip on his yacht. It was a memorable experience that combined stunning views, rich history, and a fantastic guide. This tour is a must-do when visiting Dubrovnik!

    We recently booked a yacht transfer with Josip from Dubrovnik to Lopud, and it was an incredible experience! The booking process was easy, and the team was very responsive. The yacht was beautiful and well-maintained, offering stunning views of the Adriatic. We enjoyed a selection of wine and soft drinks on board, which added a nice touch to our journey. The captain was professional, ensuring a smooth and safe ride. Arriving in Lopud was a delight, with its picturesque scenery and charming atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend for a transfer or for a memorable day on the water. Recommended!

    I recently enjoyed a sunset tour of Dubrovnik Old Town on a private yacht with my family, and it was absolutely breathtaking! The booking process was easy, and the captain Josip was very responsive. The yacht was luxurious and comfortable, perfect for a relaxing evening and our captain and crew were friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. Watching the sunset over the Old Town was magical—stunning colors reflecting off the ancient walls and the Adriatic Sea. We enjoyed some local wine, which added a nice touch to the evening. Overall, this tour was a highlight of my trip! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a unique and beautiful experience in Dubrovnik. Don’t forget your camera!

    We just returned from an amazing boat trip in Dubrovnik aboard the Prestige 36, and I can’t recommend it enough! Our captain, Josip, was the highlight of the experience. From the moment we set sail, his warmth and enthusiasm made us feel welcome and excited for the adventure ahead. The Prestige 36 is a beautiful and luxurious vessel, providing the perfect blend of comfort and style. The spacious deck allowed us to relax and take in the stunning views of Dubrovnik’s coastline and the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. Captain Josip expertly navigated us to breathtaking spots, including secluded coves and picturesque islands. Well, what truly set this trip apart was Josip’s vast knowledge of the area. He shared intriguing stories about the history of Dubrovnik and pointed out hidden gems that only a local would know. He was also incredibly accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a fantastic day, from refreshing drinks to snacks! We can’t reccomend it enough
