About
Dubrovnik’s Old Town looks best from the water, when you can see its rooftops peeping over its encircling walls. This sunset cruise on a replica of a 16th-century 'karaka' (galleon) showcases the views at one of the prettiest times of day. Listen to romantic/ambiental music and feel the breeze while standing on one of our gleaming decks. Enjoy the panoramic views from deck as the sun sets, and savor a glass of Champagne as you sail, making your evening complete.

    Highly Recommend. Great Tour with Great Guides
    Such a great tour. I had no idea the boat would be a historic replica and all the guides were great. Once we got into the Old Town, Indira was my group’s guide. She was very knowledgeable about GoT and Old Town. It was also adorable that a little boy from our group, maybe 6, wanted to hang out with her for the entire walking tour. She was great with him. I think he spoke German, which she also spoke so she could explain to him separately. I asked for some advice on navigating the city and she was very helpful.

    The Walnut Man
    On Sipan after the wine tasting, while going back down the hill. There is one man that is selling olive oil and liquors he has made, out the front of his home. You must visit him and try the walnut liquor, worth the trip alone. However, on the trip itself the tour guide was very informative and the island visited were beautiful in different ways. And the ship was a great experience (unfortunately there were no sails).

    The boat trip towards Old Town was absolutely beautiful. We booked at 6pm which was lovely. The walking tour was great, it was cool to see where scenes were filmed from the show. Ana was friendly, funny and knowledgeable!

    One day sailing experience not to be missed whilst in Dubrovnik 👍
    Well organised sailing experience to four Islands, namely, Kolocep, Sudurad and Sipan. Our last stop was Lopud Island. Cruise boat was a replica of 16th century replica of a merchant ship. Our trip introduced us to how people are living a simple village life continuing with old traditions. Staff were super friendly and our tour guide Indira was exceptional in ensuring our safety and comfort, and kept us well informed of the history and traditions of each Island. This sailing excursion is highly educational and lot of fun.

    Best day tour ever!
    This tour was fantastic! Indira was an amazing guide. Take the tour with her on Calamotta. Do the wine tasting on Sipan. On Lupan, we preferred the rocky beach near the monastery. We sat on the front of the boat and loved every minute of it.

    Best Croatian experience
    Great trip for the whole day, for our family. The boat itself is stunning, looks so beautiful compared to the rest of the boats in the port! Onboard is very comfortable, you can sit inside or out, port or starboard, bow or stern, and will still have a great view of the stunning scenery you pass by. First island is small but we had an ouch time for a swim before getting back on the boat. Second island had the option of wine tasting which we did, only 2 euro to try two wines. We then bought some to bring home. Last island is largest with beach, park, plenty of cafes, restaurants and little shops. Supermarket sold fresh produce and bread so we were able to stock up. All in all this was a perfect day, we all enjoyed it and saw so much. The staff on the boat were really lovely and had great knowledge. Also found out the boat was used in the making of Game of Thrones! If you do one thing, make it this cruise, you won’t regret it.

    The cruise was amazing as the weather was just perfect. All three locations were beautiful and the views were great. The event was well organized and the day felt short. The personnel was great, many thanks to Daniella, who was the guide on this cruise. I highly recommend this cruise, it’s really worth the time and the money!

    Best way to explore the islands 🏝
    Best way to explore the islands. Great value for money with one free water bottle, one free drink of your choice, and optional sandwich (4€). The boat itself is spectacular and is not over crowded which is great! The cruise included a free tour guide, Andreja, who was so lovely. We decided to go with her on each island (you have a choice) and she brought us wine tasting, to view local scenic sites and churches, and had great interesting information about the locals way of living, the history of the islands, and funny insider facts. She also gave great tips on best places to eat and short cuts to beach. The wine tasting was only 2euro and was a small family run vine yard with white, red and prosecco to try. You really got such a good sense of the islands and every day life. Also, the boat was spotless with clean and modern toilets. Highly recommend to all.

    Great experience
    The cruise was a really great experience and we also really appreciate the walking tour because the guide had some photos of the serie to show us the scene that was filmed where we were. I recommend this activity!

This was our first tour and it was enjoyable.

As only two drinks were included, we found the price to be quite high in comparison to other sunset cruises.

The crew was great and we really enjoyed the sites while touring around Dubrovnik.

We could not hear the tour operator who was narrating the sites (no speakers on our side of the boat) so we entertained ourselves which was fine. The speaker thing might have been on purpose and we just didn’t realize it until partway through the tour.

The boat was very cool, as was the experience of seeing the city walls at night from the water. The food was ok. I have diet restrictions that limited what I can eat (there’s a lot of dairy in the food), so I don’t think I got my money’s worth for dinner. The atmosphere is romantic, NOT a party. Music was soft. I’m glad we did it overall.

A fantastic addition to an already great holiday. The cruise is great value for money and lives up to expectation. The crew are helpful and relaxed, the commentary was clear and informative and as the sun set they cut the chat and played music. The ship is fantastic and offers 4 decks on different levels so everyone had plenty of space to enjoy the views and get their photographs snapped. It was one of the smoothest sailings I've ever enjoyed and we had plenty of time to watch the sunset over the stunning Adriatic sea. 2 drinks per guest as advertised but well stocked bar offered more if you liked.
I'd add this to your trip to do list while in Dubrovnik!

Our main concern was not the boat itself, the food or the itinerary. The problem was a very poor safety measure on this boat. We took a dinner cruise with the Karaka Replica. At the end of it we tried to go to the bow of the ship to have a better view as some people were standing there. We went there and then wanted to go further, there was not warning sign, there was a rope with a white sign (it was washed over the time and so was completely blank). We suddenly found ourselves in a very slippery area with some hole that you could fall into the water and probably die!! I dont know why they did not install better barriers or signs to warn people about this fatal danger.
I would give them zero star if I could as this matter ruined our whole evening and even day.

Our tour guide Indira was exceptional at bringing an engaging experience regarding the vast history Dubrovnik has to offer. She brought us along many passages and interest points. Many made vastly more interesting with hilarious story's about the surroundings and people. My interest in Dubrovnik's history past and modern has greatly peaked due to her fun tales. She also knows a great amount about the Game of Thrones filming. Would take another tour by her anyway.

The sunset cruise didn’t disappoint on any front. Glass of champagne on arrival, a great fresh buffet dinner and drink token (wine was good) and super views of a gorgeous sunset. Super romantic ❤️ crew work hard to make this experience enjoyable. The only comment I would make for improvement is that whether you had a pre booked ticket or buying on the night, you were in the same queue which didn’t make sense. It would be better to have one queue for those with tickets and let them board and those paying on the night in another queue. Apart from this, a great experience & good value for money

From the moment we got on the Karaka to moment we left was a great experience. We got some beautiful photos of the sunset and the Old Town. A glass of fizz greets you and then after the sun sets the food is served. There is plenty to go round and it's very tasty. You get another drink with you meal but there's a pay bar as well. All the crew were very friendly and helpful but a special mention for Dinko, our barman. Thanks for introducing us to those shots!!

Very pleasant 90 min cruise. The crew are very attentive and will often go get your drinks for you so you can keep watching the sunset. You can more or less freely move about the different decks to change your view. There was no need to push to get on early. Everything felt relaxed.

I was greeted with a glass of bubbly and a smile. This really set the mood for my evening. Shortly afterwards the Goliath boat set off with immense speed. I, along with the rest of the guests waved to the passing kayakers until they faded into a mere speck on the horizon as we traversed along the coast of Croatia.
Food was served and much to my delight, a white fish was on the menu.
The Karaka boat slowly glided back to harbour.

A brilliant evening and I am extremely pleased with this experience.

We booked in the UK before we left. We arrived and we had a nice glass of fizz before we set off. The views were amazing leaving the harbour and we got some nice pictures. Nice to chill out before having some food.
The food arrived which was ok I assume it’s pre cooked and heated up on the boat (not sure of this) the fish was full of bones and the meat a little dry, the potatoes and veg were really nice. My partner is vegan and wasn’t much for her but that’s perfectly ok. The desert was melon and some apple pastry. You also got a free drink voucher which was nice as you could have anything.

The boat was really nice and the staff as a few reviews have said were super friendly.

We arrived back only an hour and a half after we left, there were a few smiles when the announcement said hope you enjoyed your 2 hour cruise. Lol.

All in all was a nice experience but we both felt £57 each was a little steep. But just our personal opinion.
