The directions for meeting, the boat were not clear. The boots are at different docks, depending on the boat traffic for the day. It would be better to say that you should look for the Marinero booth in front of the docks. It was a bit misleading because there were other companies doing sunset cruises. Once I found the booth, when I checked in, they had my name. Unfortunately, they put me on one of the three boats for the day which was 15 minutes late. Once we were on, it was worth it!
It was good , nothing much the experience was ok..staff was very nice. Fortresse view and some islands were nice.
Info about meeting point was clear about where, but super unclear about what kind of boat. Ours turned out to be a Pink Barbie Boat. Guide was a bit unfriendly, the assistant was lovely. Ride was nice, but ended before the sun actually set. Overall it was fine. Wished for a bit more friendly commentary from the captain. He didnt seem super happy to be there.

Lovely cruise around the Old Town and Lokrum island. Group was small and we were well supplied with some excellent fizz. Lovely way to spend an evening.
Beautiful cruise on a small boat to take in the sunset, with a sail around Lokrum as well before returning to see the twinkling lights of dubrovnik as we came into harbour
I always book with viator so was very disappointed that I could of booked this for €20 at the dock. Secondly arrived 20 mins early told to come back in 20 minutes. Went back to desk after 10 nobody there. 10 minutes later she telephoned me asking where I was. I told her exactly where you told me to be. She said well I am waiting at the boat!. She then had to explained where she was. The trip itself was nice, the boat lovely. Its just not worth the money viator charged. I feel that charging €14 over the actual price €28 in total is wrong and has put me off using them
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, but we must clarify a few important points. The tour you mention for 20 € is not our tour! That is a different company offering a 45-minute ride without drinks, snacks, or hosting, only a skipper driving the boat. Our Sunset Cruise is a experience with drinks, snacks, attentive crew, and a longer route, which you yourself noted was “nice” on a “lovely boat.” Regarding the boarding: you arrived early, before the boat was even in port. As Dubrovnik’s Old Town port is a small and regulated marina, boats cannot stay docked and must only stop briefly to embark guests. This is why you were kindly asked to return when the boat arrived. Additionally, we always call our guests to make sure everyone boards smoothly, which is exactly what happened in your case. Finally, our price is the same whether you book through Viator or directly at our desk, there is no difference, and you would have been convinced that this was the case if you had only asked and checked. What you saw on another sign was an advertisement for a different company’s shorter and non-inclusive tour. We are glad you enjoyed the cruise itself, the boat, and the service, as that is exactly what our team works hard for every evening. However, we find it unfair and disappointing that you left such a low rating based on a misunderstanding about a completely different company’s tour, when your own experience with us was positive.
Very comfortable boat with soft cushions, pleasant ride. Beautiful music throughout the sailing, champagne and tasty dried fruits added the romantic atmosphere. 2 guys that guided these tour were handsome, kind and made us felt safe and happy. They even took photos of our company of 4. Very memorable. And sunset- picturesque views.
The cruise was beautiful! We enjoyed the sunset, the small group experience and of course the drinks and snacks! We also had a little bonus where we were able to stop near a cave and take pictures! Lovely all around!
This was truly a beautiful and majestic experience. Through the whole process Angela made the arrangements for my reservation despite me being a difficult and demanding customer; she went above and beyond. This tour exceeded all my expectations. The boat was a beautiful brand new speedboat, the captain Vinny was professional and his skipper was attentive to all guests. They both took us all on a majestic journey to see the sunset and to end it with a bang, driving by a cave that all the local birds call home. It was a beautiful experience witnessing the hundred of local birds flying in and out of the cave with the cotton candy sky. I highly suggest booking this for a quick 1 hour experience that you will remember for the rest of your life.
We thoroughly enjoyed our sunset cruise. The boat was clean and very comfortable. Our crew was very attentive, making sure a constant supply of refreshing drinks (including champagne). Beautiful views and great company. Thank you!
