Couples Boat Day - June 2025

We spent around 8 hours on the boat visiting some unbelievable spots and stopping for a superb lunch. It’s a brilliant experience for couples, families, or groups of friends - perfect for cruising around Dubrovnik and the surrounding islands. Maro & Ivan (skippers) were very helpful and great to fun too! Highly recommended!

Whether it’s couples, families, or your fun-loving crew of friends, we’ve got the perfect cruise waiting. Come back anytime—we’ll save you a sunny seat! 🌞🌊🍷

Best romantic summer trip for a couple!

WOW. We wish we did more days. We did an overnight, seeing the islands, including the blue cave, plus amazing swimming spots. One night was not enough. Next time we will book 3-4 days to do more. Toni and Bronco were SO wonderful. We felt like royalty for the entire trip. They catered to our every single need and adopted to what we were looking for in the trip. Toni even took fantastic pictures for us!!

Outstanding day and service from Tony & the captain

What can I say. Tony and the team totally outstanding. The whole experience from start to finish was out of this world. The boat The locations and the staff 100% Tony as deckhand was amazing his customer service and attention to detail and care was one we have not seen in many year. We wanted for nothing and his knowledge and recommendations were spot on. We will be back and will only book with them now The boat and ambience was perfect for us as a couple and a birthday. Totally recommend

Operator response

Ahoy there! 🌊 Wow, it sounds like Tony and the crew really knocked it out of the park—or should I say, out of the ocean? 🏝️ From the stellar service to the dreamy locations, it seems like you had a voyage fit for Poseidon himself! Tony as a deckhand? More like Tony the Magnificent! And let's not forget the boat and ambience—perfect for a romantic getaway and a birthday bash. I bet even the seagulls were singing "Happy Birthday" in perfect harmony. 🎂🎶 Thanks for the glowing review! We can't wait to welcome you back aboard for more nautical adventures. Anchors aweigh! ⚓️🚤
