Kotor Speedboat Escape — Full-Day Private Tour
Indulge in a full-day private speedboat escape from Kotor. Explore Boka Bay's hidden gems at your own pace, with scenic…
Go where the crowds can't follow.
Thousands of tourists walk the Old City every day. Very few discover what lies just offshore — the Elafiti Islands, a string of car-free, genuinely local islands where fishing boats outnumber taxis and the water is impossibly clear.
This private Dubrovnik island hopping tour — through the Elaphiti Islands (Elafiti) — is our local crew's love letter to their home coast. It's consistently rated one of the top things to do in Dubrovnik by guests who've already seen the Old City walls.
No script. No fixed stops. No group schedule. Your skipper maps out a route based on the morning's conditions, your group's preferences, and the places they genuinely love. The result is an itinerary that feels handcrafted — because it is.
Lunch can be arranged at Konoba Kod Marka on Šipanska Luka (fresh local fish, terrace over the harbour), Bowa (an acronym for "Best Of What’s Around", is a secluded seaside restaurant and beach club located on Šipan Island, described as "fine dining in the jungle," it offers a Robinson Crusoe-style escape that focuses on sustainability and authentic Mediterranean flavors). or Dubrovnik (Established in 1999, it is a family-run establishment known for its Mediterranean cuisine and prime seafront) on Lopud, or simply pack your own and find the best bay.
The Elafiti Islands carry centuries of Ragusan history beneath their beauty. Koločep hides Roman-era cemeteries and a medieval church of All Hallows. Lopud's 15th-century Franciscan monastery stands in extraordinary condition, its Gothic cloister draped in orange trees; Ragusan noble villas line the waterfront promenade — aristocratic retreats from a republic that ruled this coast for five centuries. Šipan, the largest and most local, holds Gothic-Renaissance palaces built by Dubrovnik's ruling families, and a rector's villa at Suđurađ that is among the finest rural Renaissance architecture on the entire Dalmatian coast.
Your private luxury speedboat is clean, comfortable, and fully equipped: quality snorkelling gear, refreshment cooler, sun cushions. The boat is yours for the day — no strangers, no shared schedule, no compromises.
Your skipper is a local professional, attentive and flexible, dedicated entirely to your group. They know which coves have the clearest snorkelling this week, which restaurant deserves a reservation, and when to push on and when to stay and swim another twenty minutes.
"We had a private skipper who took us to spots I've never seen in any guidebook. The islands are stunning — but the private experience is what makes it extraordinary. Worth every penny over a group boat."
"Split to Dubrovnik Two Days — the boat was comfortable and well-appointed, the crew were friendly and full of local knowledge. This afforded the opportunity to visit several of the islands, go snorkelling twice, explore some of the smaller port towns and local parks."
Trip after trip, guests tell us this is the highlight of their Croatia visit. The Elafiti Islands on a private boat, with a skipper who genuinely knows these waters, is an entirely different experience to a shared group tour. Professional. Attentive. Completely tailored to you.

Perfect boat trip.
What I loved about a custom boat trip was that we could decide if we wanted to see more small towns on separate islands or spend more time swimming at the island's beach. We delighted in the extra swimming time. Franco was great explaining with a map the possible landing points. Fresh water and beach towels were provided. Comfortable and a perfect way to see and feel the magnificent Adriatic!

Excellent
The view of the entire city, including the bay, harbor, mountains, yachts and cruise ships, and the ocean was spectacular.

A Memorable Experience with Tendo Luxury Travel.
I recently had the pleasure of exploring the stunning city of Dubrovnik through a guided tour, and it was truly a memorable experience. The tour covered all the iconic sites, including the ancient city walls, the beautiful Old Town, and the breathtaking views from Mount Srđ. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the history of Dubrovnik, providing context that brought the sites to life. The tour also included some hidden gems that I would have never discovered. We stopped at a quaint local restaurant for lunch, where we sampled traditional Dalmatian cuisine – it was delicious! Overall, I highly recommend Tendo Luxury Travel to anyone looking to explore this beautiful city. Whether you're a history buff or want to enjoy the stunning scenery, this tour offers something for everyone. The knowledgeable guides provide fascinating insights that enhance the experience, making each moment memorable.

No. The point of this tour is flexibility. Your skipper chooses the best order of stops based on sea conditions, crowds, and your preferences, so the day can lean toward caves and swimming, island villages, restaurants, or quiet coves away from larger group boats.
The experience is built around local skipper knowledge rather than a fixed script. Instead of only chasing the busiest photo stops, the route can include quieter coves, small harbours, short island walks, and restaurant suggestions that fit the weather and the mood of your group.
Yes. Because the boat is private, the pace can be adapted for families, couples, or friends who want more time in the water. The skipper can choose calmer bays, easier swim stops, and a comfortable route for the group on the day.

At first, the difference is in the size of the boat, which represents how many people feel comfortable on such a boat to enjoy the sea. Then, if you are not already familiar, the ships have different equipment and designs.
Most medium-class boats are with outboard motors up to 6.5 meters long. Then come high-class boats with inboard engines, which is not necessarily the case. The biggest difference between medium and high-class boats is in the equipment and design. The high-class speedboat is mostly sporty and recommended for up to 4 people, while the medium class is recommended for 2 people.
Executive boats are 8-9 meters in size, newer years with outboard or inboard engines, but all have toilets. In the Executive class of boats, we are talking about luxury speedboats of recent years with a lot of equipment and an attractive appearance.
Motor yachts are 9 - 11 meters long, with a saloon, flybridge, kitchen, and stern for swimming. Executive motor yachts are 11 - 14 meters long, but more recently built.
Luxury yachts are a story by themselves, this is really about great luxury for people who demand such a service.
If you are not sure what kind of boat you want, consider that the captain of the boat is responsible for providing you with the best possible service. All our captains are professionals and will do everything for you to have a great time.

The price depends on the selected route, tour duration, boat or yacht class, group size, season, fuel requirements and any optional services such as lunch, transfers, guides or special arrangements.
Shorter Dubrovnik boat tours usually have a different price structure than full-day private yacht routes or cross-border experiences such as Dubrovnik to Montenegro. For tailor-made routes, we confirm the final price in the personalized offer before booking.
Both options are possible on most private boat and yacht tours. Some guests prefer a relaxed panorama cruise with swimming stops, while others want time ashore for sightseeing, lunch or a short walk in a coastal town.
Stops ashore depend on the selected destination, local docking options, weather, sea conditions and the total tour duration. The captain and operations team will help shape a realistic route for the time available.
All our boat tours are private, without joined travellers. We can accommodate the number of guests permitted by the specific boat's licence, so please tell us your group size and we will recommend the best option.
