What you'll see and do
Sunj Beach
Tour starts at 10am from Dubrovnik where private English speaking skipper will be waiting for you to embark. In about half an hour, you'll reach unique sandy beach 'Šunj' that is situated on Lopud (one of Elaphiti isladns). Šunj beach is special because on Dalmatian coast it is hard to find sandy beach and this one looks amazing. You will have time to swim here and enjoy the stunning views of the beach and the bay. There are some nice bars if you wish to have coffee or something refreshing! You'll spend approximately an hour and a half here, or per your wishes. Tour can be customized!

Kolocep Island
After relaxing on Šunj, we will continue towards island of Koločep where you will have an opportunity to see an amazing Blue Cave. It is completely different from Šunj beach. Blue cave is situated in the rock and shore on this spot is surrounded by white rocks, sea has completely different color from what you've seen so far on the tour. These locations are both beautiful but in own different ways!
90 minutes here
Dubrovnik
Before the return to Dubrovnik, you'll have another stop for swimming, anywhere you like, or skipper can recommend some amazing location to enjoy a bit more. Dubrovnik coast is gorgeous because there are plenty of little bays and hidden beaches, so there's definitely a lot of choice for stopping and taking some spectacular photos. There's no wonder that boat tours are the best way to spend your time while vacationing in Dubrovnik. These are memories that you will definitely take back home! *Please note that fuel is not included in the price and it is paid at the end of tour. Fuel surcharge is approx. between 100 and 150 euro depending on the boat you choose.*

Amazing experience, one of the highlights of the trip
Absolutely amazing experience. The captain Luka was amazing. Easy booking and great conversation with the owner. We scheduled an eight hour trip and the captain had multiple locations even when oneplace was busy. We came back to it later on to have an easy and uneventful trip. Took us to a secluded island for some while we were here.
Response from the operator: We are so glad you have enjoyed your tour! I hope we`ll have oportunity to welcome you on board again! :-) Luka send you best regards!!

Perfect birthday with Blue Mile Dubrovnik!!!
I celebrated my birthday with my friends on a boat I rented from Blue Mile Dubrovnik. Their kindness and professionalism made our day even better than we had imagined. While exploring hidden coves, beautiful beaches, and enjoying a relaxing cruise, they created unforgettable memories that we will cherish for a long time. I would be delighted to come back and use their services again in the future. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Dear Suzana, Thank you for your kind words, we are delighted you chose us for your special day and even more, that you have enjoyed the trip. We hope to welcome you aboard next year as well! Kind regards, Blue Mile Team

Elaphites trip with Blue Mile Yacht
An unforgettable experience: a yacht trip to the island near Dubrovnik. Heartfelt thanks to the agency Blue Mile Dubrovnik for the warm hospitality on board and the well-stocked bar with a large selection of refreshing drinks – a welcome cool down in the high temperatures in Dubrovnik. The children were so excited that we would love to come back this year to enjoy your services and the beautiful, clean Adriatic again.
Response from the operator: Dear Dragana, Thank you for your kind review, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip with your family. We hope to welcome you again! Kind regards, Blue Mile Team

Best family excursion!
We had a wonderful and relaxing experience exploring the islands around Dubrovnik with our skipper Ivan. He was very accommodating and showed us the best snorkeling spots from the blue cave to private beaches. When my 7-year-old son was nervous to go in the water for his first time snorkeling, Ivan hopped in with him and gave him a private lesson! We all enjoyed the day together as a family and there was plenty of room for all 7 of us on board.
Response from the operator: Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for your review and nice words about boat trip with us. We hope to welcome you again on board.

Amazing boat cruise experience
Phenomenal experience for anybody looking to enjoy a boat cruise around the coast of Elaphiti Islands. Ivan was an amazing and friendly boat captain and showed us all of the local wild beaches in the area.
Response from the operator: Dear Maps, Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your trip with us and captain Ivan.

Private Elaphiti Islands tour by small yacht, Dubrovnik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Private Elaphiti Islands tour by small yacht, Dubrovnik cost?
+
Prices start at $893 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 Elaphiti Islands tour by small yacht, Dubrovnik take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Elaphiti Islands tour by small yacht, Dubrovnik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 10 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 Elaphiti Islands tour by small yacht, Dubrovnik?
+
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 Elaphiti Islands tour by small yacht, Dubrovnik suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Elaphiti Islands tour by small yacht, Dubrovnik?
+
Around 4 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Elaphiti Islands tour by small yacht, Dubrovnik 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, Dubrovnik: 7 Caves & Blue Cave Speedboat Tour (4h), Dubrovnik: Sunset Kayaking & Snorkeling with water &wine. 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.
