Itinerary
Travelers will see the impressive seaside face of Dubrovnik’s City Walls, including fortresses, towers, and cliffs rising directly from the sea. This unique view from the boat shows parts of the walls that are not visible from land, offering a new perspective and amazing photo opportunities.
During the cruise, travelers will pass by Lokrum Island, a lush green oasis just off Dubrovnik’s coast. From the boat, they’ll enjoy views of the rocky shoreline, pine forests, and historical buildings like the old monastery. Your skipper may share legends about the island, including tales of curses, royals, and shipwrecks.
dmire Fort Lovrijenac from the sea — perched high on a cliff above the waves, this iconic fortress offers dramatic views and a glimpse into Dubrovnik’s defenses. Game of Thrones fans will recognize it as the Red Keep.

This was a cool ride. They showed the walls around the town and at an island. They showed us a naked old man, took turns smoking on the front of the boat, and were both very quiet. Even though it WAS a tour they didn’t say they were gonna speak 🤷♀️. I found it fun and cool to check out the scenery!
It was a boat ride that we could have booked at the pier for 15 Euros each rather than the 17 we paid. There was no English speaking guide, just a driver. His friend came on board and stood smoking cigarettes in front of our party, blocking our view and covering us with cigarette smoke. The boat is old and stunk of engine exhaust. There was no safety instruction, or visible life vests. There were full containers of gasoline in view under the open bow. Overall very unprofessional operation, lacking in basic safety.
It was an okay boat trip for the price. But it's neither life jackets nor an English-speaking guide. Nice tour near Lokrum but I had completely wished that the boat had also gone outside ”Castely Rock”.
Really enjoyed the trip around the bay ,lovely to see the city from a different angle 😀
This was a last minute booking but perfect for a short sailing out on the water. The trip took us along the coast to the north initially giving good views of the city walls. Then it turned back out to sea a little and around Lokrum island. Great opportunities all along for photos. The driver didn't give any kind of verbal tour but it was only £15/per. All in all recommended for a short boat trip, especially in the sunshine 😎
The tour did what it told it would do 45 minutes around this island with view of Dubrovnik. The captain did not said a word or explained anything. Mute
It was a nice boat ride but no interaction with the driver.
It was pretty. A little rough but very beautiful views. Wish there was someone who could talk about sights.
Horrific. This tour should have never been offered. I booked it the morning of the tour the waves so so ferocious. We got sick. Had to turn around after 20 minutes. The boat had to travel sideways due to the waves. Awful.
The booth to check in was well described and operators were nice. The boat ride was enjoyable and loved seeing the city that way, but there was no information on what we saw given to us.
