This trip was so amazing We did it twice – once with family and the second time with my boyfriend. The crew made a point of ensuring we didn’t see the same things twice and each experience was entirely different.

Thank you Dubrovnik Boat Rent for a fantastic day on the sea. Such a nice and perfect boat for a day out on the sea. Thank you for taking really good care of us!

Carlise, UK

Set out thinking we would go bareboat but were glad we made the decision to go with a skipper. All the fun of skimming around the coastline without any of the responsibility. Our skipper Tony knew all the best places for swimming/exploring/playing. The islands are beautiful. A very relaxing and enjoyable day. Would definitely go back for more. Well done Dubrovnik Boat Rent!
