About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- staceyvimbainashek0 contributionsBreathtaking ExperienceWhat an amazing experience we had. It was so beautiful and just warm enough. Not blazing hot. I can not describe the clarity of the water it was just lovely. I enjoyed myself thoroughly and so did my cousin. Thank you so much for making our day. It was my cousin’s 30th birthday and we even got a bigger boat. Tom Tom Tom, how many times have I said your name. I truly have no words for what you did for us. Thank you so much for making our experience unforgettable. Do not forget to send us an invite to your wedding. I will be waiting 😊. The hospitality was off the charts and he knew the best places to take us. Fell in love with these islands, next time I would love a full day as opposed to a half day. It left us wanting more. The sunsets were so beautiful too. Loved everything about this experience. I can not thank you enough. ❤️Written October 18, 2024
- Flyer5205140 contributionsMust Do while you are in DubrovnickThis Experience was terrific. Our skipper felt like family. He took us to all the best islands close to Dubrovnik, allowed us to enjoy every moment without rushing, and ensured we fully experienced it. Highly recommended.Written September 26, 2024
- 281taijak0 contributionsThe best day ever!!We were two couples on a Feretti Fly boat and it was the best day ever!!! Our crew was magnificient and communication was easy and flexible. We had an eight-hour boat trip and every moment was unforgettable! We definately recommend this to everybody who visits Dubrovnik. 10/10!!!!Written September 22, 2024
- HelenaBerg350 contributionsFantastic relaxing trip!Had a truly wonderful trip, that was definatly the highlight of our stay in Dubrovnik! Everything leading up to and during the trip was very well organised and professional, everyone who I asked help from were great. On the day the driver picked us up with a smile and took us to the boat ready and waiting. We went to some fantastic private swimming spots and dropped off for a wonder round the cute islands. Our Captain Ivan was superb! He was a very relaxed and friendly presence, answering any questions we had and taking us wherever we requested. Once arriving back the driver (who I sadly have forgotten the name) was once again ready to take us back to our apartment. Fantastic trip in all!Written September 12, 2024
- 985filipk0 contributionsAmazing views!Amazing experience from start to finish. Our transportation from our accommodations was set up right away after booking. We meet our skipper Ivan at the marina after getting dropped off my Matt. Ivan was our amazing skipper, super friendly, knowledgeable and had some great conversations with him. Our 6 hour ride was breath taking, Ivan took us to amazing swimming locations, went to the nearby islands to explore and the views spectacular. Ivan set us up with a nice lunch spot on the island, right near the water. A must do experience when visiting Dubrovnik, and make sure to do it with explore Dubrovnik.Written September 8, 2024
- leaho860 contributionsWonderful boat ride in DubrovnikWe had a wonderful half day trip with our skipper , Ivan. He made an extra effort to find us when we got lost looking for him! After a pleasant cruise and a stop for cocktails he arranged a taxi back to our ship. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him or the company.Written September 8, 2024

He was not only an excellent skipper but also extremely knowledgeable about the area, which made our trip even more engaging. Zoran expertly navigated us to some of the coolest swimming spots around the islands, providing us with plenty of opportunities to dive into the crystal-clear waters and enjoy the beautiful surroundings in privacy. A standout part of our adventure was visiting the Blue Cave, where the water glows a mesmerizing blue, creating a surreal swimming experience. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped, making our journey between the islands smooth and enjoyable. Zoran’s friendly demeanor and professional expertise in handling the boat ensured a safe and delightful tour. I highly recommend this private boat tour for anyone looking to experience the best of the Elafiti Islands with a knowledgeable and skilled skipper. Thanks to Zoran, it was a day we won’t soon forget!Written September 4, 2024
- terrigZ2436XT0 contributionsLoved our day on the Adriatic SeaWhat a great day! Our skipper, Ivan, was so friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better way to see the coastline of Dubrovnik. We highly recommend using Ivan as your skipper!!!Written September 2, 2024
- 863slawomirs0 contributionsFantastic Time with IvanMy family and I (two boys 16 & 9 years old) booked half day private boat tour and Ivan was our tour guide. Ivan contacted me a day before the tour confirming the excursion and with meeting point information. On the day of the tour, he showed up on time and catered the day to our interests and needs. We learned so much from Ivan about Croatia culture, people and history. Ivan was very professional, easy going and the best tour guide we had during our 3 week vacation in Europe. If you're planning to relax, explore the magnificent coast line of Dubrovnik and swim in the crystal clear Adriatic Sea, this is the tour for you and make sure to ask for Ivan. You won't be disappointed. We're planning to visit Croatia next year and we're looking forward to booking another excursion with Ivan. He's a wonderful guy.Written August 31, 2024
- Happiness605892257210 contributionsAmazing trip with IvanWe had an amazing day. My kids said it was the best trip ever been on. The boat was brilliant, great for 5 people with a little sundeck upfront. As part of our package, we got a paddleboard too, which was a great addition. We stopped a loads of places for a swim and despite doing lots we never felt rushed and had time to chill on the boat too. Ivan, our skipper for the day, was fantastic. A really nice person, who wanted to ensure our day was perfect. He was great with the kids and even let them pretend to drive the boat at point. 100% worth doing this for the extra money rather than a standard tour. This will love the in memory of my kids forever! Thanks Ivan!Written August 30, 2024
- dariobV4334UR0 contributionsAmazing tour experience of islands, coves, and cavesWe had an amazing tour experience with Ivan as our skipper. He was a very nice guy and very knowledgeable.

We booked a quicksilver boat trip with Robert who was our skipper and I really have to stay, Robert was very professional and also very much looking at our interest and requirement. I went with may families of 6 adults and 1 child age 4 and she absolutely loved it.
I can only recommend Robert in the future if you planning to explore the beautiful beaches and caves in Dubrovnik.

It was a perfect day trip! The service from start to finish was faultless. We were picked up from the hotel by a very friendly man who drove us to the harbour, where we met Captain Tom. He welcomed us on board a very clean, modern speedboat and immediately made us feel comfortable, introducing himself and explaining about the local area. We told Tom what we wanted and he delivered! Taking us to the beautiful Sunjj beach before a remote private snorkelling spot. This was all topped by the single most amazing sunset we have ever witnessed, where Tom made sure we were the only boat visible! Tom was very attentive the whole trip, constantly providing us with drinks and taking lots of photos and videos for us. 10/10 would recommend and definitely be using the company again in the future

A family of four we booked the half day speedboat tour. After our initial enquiry we were contacted almost immediately by Watts app and a link was sent via email which we responded with a deposit, all really easy and hassle free. Our skipper was Mladen who was both very knowledgeable and friendly. We left everything up to him with regard to where we went and what we saw and he didn't dissapoint, he took us to the most beautiful islands and swimming locations. Nothing was too much trouble and we were never rushed at any point. Would reccomend Explore Dubrovnik and our fantastic skipper Mladen. Thanks Guys !!!!

I would highly recommend this experience to anyone and everyone! Our skipper, Ivan, was extremely friendly and accommodating. He made the tour so much fun and unforgettable bringing us to the most magical bays and caves. With extremely good English and great communication through WhatsApp, Ivan organised to get us collected from our hotel and brought straight to his boat where he greeted us personally. Along the tour he provided drinks, snorkels and GoPros as part of an all inclusive deal before bringing us back to port where he had a colleague pick us up on arrival and drop us back to our hotel.

The highlight of the tour was watching the sunset over one of the islands with Dubrovnik in the background.
Tom our captain was fantastic. He found us private beach and snorkelling spots and was great fun to spend the day with.

We booked a half day trip with Explore Dubrovnik after looking for a private boat tour. The trip was absolutely brilliant . Our skipper for the trip was Damir , he was fantastic , extremely knowledgable and an all round great host ! You get to see so much of the amazing coastline that you wouldn’t get a chance to see on land and the snorkelling and swimming is a dream.
The tour is really as good as it looks and has been the highlight of our trip to Croatia !
Thank you Damir and Explore Dubrovnik

Tom was the perfect captain and made our afternoon on the water fantastic in every way. The weather was extraordinarily warm and clear so we got to swim in three spots, all of which were stunning. Tom was flexible and kind and really made our last day in Croatia all that we hoped it would be. Thank you!

We booked a quicksilver boat tour with Tomislav and had a great time! Tomislav is amazing guide and great skipper, very fun to be around. He took us to see nice little caves on the island of Kalamota and to the lovely sand beach called Šunj on the island of Lopud. Both places were amazing and I recommend them and Tomo to everybody!
