About this experience
This tour is unique because it offers the opportunity to enjoy beautiful islands, beaches and caves in a private tour (only you and the skipper are on board), and the skipper can adapt the tour to your wishes, because the whole tour is completely flexible, that is, since it is a private tour, you decide which places you will visit and how long you will stay at each place. If you get hungry during the boat tour and want to have lunch in one of the restaurants (lunch is not included in the price), you will also enjoy the wonderful Dalmatian food on the islands, especially if you like seafood.

A Great Vibes, Private Elaphite Island Tour
Our 6 hour cruise of the Elaphite Islands was EXCELLENT! Thanks to our great vibes Skipper Simon (Sime) we were able to swim inside the gorgeous blue cave and several other caves (some with bats!) with just our group of four people and no crowds. We did some cliff jumping, had some great drinks on Sunj beach, had a quick lunch in the town of Lopud island and then found a quiet empty cove to snorkel and swim by ourselves. It was the perfect day! Thank you Sime!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing review! It was an absolute pleasure having the four of you on board, and I’m so happy to hear that you had the perfect day exploring the Elaphiti Islands with me. 😊 I’m especially glad we managed to find those quieter spots and enjoy the caves, including the ones with bats, without the crowds. The cliff jumping, swimming and snorkelling, drinks at Šunj, and lunch in Lopud made for a pretty great combination! For me, the best part of a private tour is being able to adapt the day to what you want and find those special places where you can simply enjoy the sea without feeling rushed. Thank you for your kind words and for choosing to spend the day with me. I really appreciate it, and I hope to see you back in Dubrovnik for another adventure on the Adriatic! 🌊☀️🍹

Dubrovnik private speedboat experience
We had an absolutely amazing full-day speedboat experience! We went on private full day speedboat excursion (we are family of 6, 4 adults and 2 children, 3 and 5 years old). Our skipper, Slavko, made the day unforgettable. He took us to all the hidden gems of the Dubrovački akvatorij, including stunning sea caves and beautiful secluded spots we would never have found on our own. We also spent a wonderful afternoon on Lopud Island, where we had plenty of time to relax, swim, and explore. To top it all off, Slavko made sure we enjoyed the most breathtaking views of Dubrovnik just before sunset, it was the perfect ending to an incredible day. Slavko was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the trip. If you're looking for the best way to experience the Dubrovnik coastline, we couldn't recommend Šime (one of skippers who we booked with this tour) and Slavko more highly. It was truly one of the highlights of our holiday!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your family had such an amazing full-day experience with us. 🌊☀️ We’re especially happy to hear your kind words about Slavko. Taking care of a family with young children requires extra attention, so it means a lot to know that he made everyone feel comfortable and at ease while showing you some of the hidden gems of the Dubrovnik coast. We’ll definitely share your wonderful feedback with him! It sounds like you had a perfect day — exploring the caves and secluded spots, enjoying the afternoon on Lopud, and then finishing with those beautiful Dubrovnik views just before sunset. What a way to end the day! Thank you also for mentioning me and for your kind recommendation. It was a pleasure helping you arrange your boat experience, and I’m so happy that everything worked out so well. Thank you again for choosing Stella Maris Boats. We hope to see your family back in Dubrovnik one day for another unforgettable adventure on the Adriatic! 🇭🇷

Book this trip
We came with our two friends, and I can only describe this as the best boat trip ever! I’ve done quite a few boat trips and this by far was the best. Slavko was so informative of the islands and caves we went to and shared a lot of local knowledge about where’s best to go out and tips and tricks to save money where we can! He showed us around romantic cave and gave us extensive knowledge and was so patient with us when we were apprehensive! I will say he is the best tour guide ever! Simon and Nikola who helped us organise the trip were amazing and informative, answering all our questions even the silly ones and again were so patient with us! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will be telling all our friends and family and really anyone who’ll listen to book here! We’ll definitely be coming back to Croatia and the first thing we’ll be booking is this boat tour again!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had the best boat trip ever and that the experience exceeded your expectations. ❤️ We’re especially happy to hear your kind words about Slavko. His local knowledge, patience, and willingness to share the best places and little local tips are exactly what we want our guests to experience. We’ll make sure he sees your review — we know it will mean a lot to him! And thank you for mentioning Simon and Nikola as well. We’re glad they were able to answer all your questions and make everything easy and stress-free from the moment you started planning your trip. The fact that you’re already planning to book with us again when you return to Croatia, and that you’ll be recommending us to your friends and family, is the greatest compliment we could receive. Thank you again for choosing Stella Maris Dubrovnik Boats. We can’t wait to have you back on board for another unforgettable day on the Adriatic! 🌊

Why this scores 66

Private 8h Boat Tour Elaphite Islands with Barracuda 545: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Private 8h Boat Tour Elaphite Islands with Barracuda 545 cost?
+
Prices start at $649 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubrovnik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private 8h Boat Tour Elaphite Islands with Barracuda 545 take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubrovnik is not rushed.
Is Private 8h Boat Tour Elaphite Islands with Barracuda 545 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubrovnik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private 8h Boat Tour Elaphite Islands with Barracuda 545?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private 8h Boat Tour Elaphite Islands with Barracuda 545 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 8h Boat Tour Elaphite Islands with Barracuda 545?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubrovnik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubrovnik and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 8h Boat Tour Elaphite Islands with Barracuda 545 start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubrovnik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubrovnik?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubrovnik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones Walking Tour, Panorama Zipline Experience in Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik: 7 Caves & Blue Cave Speedboat Tour (4h). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubrovnik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubrovnik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
