Your boat. Your islands. Your day. Our tailor-made private tour is the most flexible experience on the Adriatic — a professional local skipper, luxury speedboat, and complete freedom to build the perfect Croatian day.
Island hopping through the Elaphiti Islands. Swimming at the Blue Cave. Lunch at a boat-only island restaurant. These are the things travellers dream about when they search things to do in Dubrovnik — and the tailor-made private boat tour delivers them all, on your schedule.
Every group is different. Some want non-stop swimming and adventure. Some want a long lunch on a quiet island with no agenda whatsoever. Some want to watch Dubrovnik from the water at golden hour with champagne in hand.
The tailor-made private boat tour was created because your time on the Adriatic should be exactly what you want it to be.
Before your tour, we discuss: How many hours do you have? Which islands appeal? Do you want to prioritise swimming, history, food, or just being on the water? Any celebrations, dietary needs, or special requests?
Your skipper uses this conversation to map out a route — and then adapts it on the day as preferences shift, conditions change, and the best spots reveal themselves. This is how private boat touring should work.
Your skipper can take you to any combination of:
Elafiti Islands — Koločep, Lopud, Šipan: car-free, genuinely local, historically rich
Blue Cave & Green Cave — the crown jewels of the Dubrovnik coast, snorkeling and cliff jumping stop
Šunj Beach, Lopud — one of Dalmatia's finest sandy beaches
Bowa Restaurant — unique hedonism experience in Vrbova Bay, accessible only by boat
Konoba Kod Marka, Šipan — legendary island seafood, beloved by local skippers and their guests
One secluded cove — chosen by the skipper (according to sea conditions)
Our private luxury speedboats are maintained to the highest standard: clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with quality snorkeling gear, a paddle-board (available on yachts only), a refreshment cooler, and sun cushions. The boat is entirely private — your group, no strangers, complete freedom.
Your skipper is a local professional who has spent years navigating these waters and genuinely loves them. They know the coves that don't appear on maps, the restaurants worth calling ahead for, and the timing tricks that get you to the best spots before the crowds. Attentive, flexible, and completely dedicated to your group.
"We described what we wanted — a mix of swimming, a proper Croatian lunch, and something unexpected — and our skipper delivered all three and then some. The most professionally run private tour I've taken anywhere in the world."
"Every group is different and our skipper understood that from the first ten minutes. Completely tailored, completely relaxed, completely unforgettable. Highlight of Croatia."
A tailor-made tour isn't just a boat and a list of places to visit. It's a professional crew whose entire focus is on giving your group the best possible day on the water. Trip after trip, guests tell us it was the highlight of their entire Croatia visit — not the Old City walls, not any restaurant, not any other excursion. The private boat, the expert skipper, the total freedom.

What's Included
What's Not Included
This tailor-made format works best when the route follows your available time, group, preferred pace and boat style. Start with the experience you want most: cave swimming, Elaphiti island villages, a long lunch ashore, or a relaxed private day with fewer stops.
A shorter trip should stay focused near Dubrovnik, Kolocep and Lopud. More time creates room for Lopud or Sipan, a slower lunch and additional swim stops, while other requirements require a suitable full-day plan, boat and sea conditions. We will propose you a standard itinerary which your skipper can adjust it on the day of the tour.
Best for a focused Blue Cave and Kolocep or Beach Sunj route with swimming. Choose this when time is limited and agree on one or two priorities instead of trying to cover the full archipelago. Choose morning (10:00 AM) or afternoon (02:00 AM) departure.
Adds more flexibility for Lopud, an island walk or a sunset return. It suits groups that want meaningful stops without committing to a full day on the water. Choose morning from 10:00 departure or late morning departure from noon. During late june, july and early august start from 02:00 / 3:00 PM and enjoy the sunset.
The strongest fit for Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan with a relaxed restaurant stop. Longer-distance ideas such as Mljet or Korcula depend on the selected boat, departure point and conditions.
A speedboat prioritizes efficient island-hopping and swim stops. A motor yacht prioritizes deck space, shade and a slower onboard experience; confirm capacity, cabin, toilet and equipment for the exact boat offered.
A wonderful day for our family
Our family of four had a wonderful time with Tendo. We were all very happy with the experience and came away with great memories from our day in Dubrovnik. We would happily recommend it to other families looking for a special day together.

My wife and I had such a blast on the boat with Toni! He was a really great skipper – super friendly, funny, and we always felt like we were in safe hands. Honestly, the whole trip was just amazing, and we'd absolutely book it again.

Whole day experience
Tony was our skipper and he was awesome! Super friendly and really knew his stuff, taking us to all the best hidden gems. We stopped at Lopud Island for lunch, which was perfect. Seriously, what a gorgeous day! I'd definitely recommend booking a trip. Just a heads up: bring your own booze and ice, although Tony did have water and soda on board for us.

This tour focuses on the classic Elaphiti (Elafiti) island chain near Dubrovnik: Kolocep, Lopud, and Sipan, with the Blue Cave, hidden swimming coves, car-free villages, and local island atmosphere shaped into the day by your skipper.
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.
The price depends on duration, group size, boat class, route, season and pickup point. Send your preferred date, guest count and priorities so the concierge can return a current speedboat or motor-yacht proposal with all charges shown clearly.
Fuel terms depend on the selected boat and offer. Current fixed-price special offers state when the fuel surcharge is included; a tailor-made proposal will show any separate fuel charge clearly before you confirm.
A professional skipper is included. Towels, hotel or marina pickup and other boat-specific inclusions are confirmed in your proposal because they vary by selected vessel and departure point.
Chilled soft drinks are available on the featured tour setup, while the exact drinks package varies by boat. Confirm any preferred drinks, celebration setup or dietary requirements when requesting your proposal.
The places you visit depend on the specific private boat tour, yacht route, weather conditions and the time available on the water. Each product page lists its own suggested itinerary and main highlights.
For Dubrovnik private boat and yacht experiences, routes may include islands, secluded bays, swimming stops, coastal towns, caves, Boka Bay, Montenegro coastline or other points of interest depending on the selected tour.

Yes. Most private boat tours and yacht experiences can be customized within the confirmed duration of the tour. You can usually adjust the balance between sightseeing, panorama cruising, swimming, lunch, time ashore and direct transfer time.

Private boat tours from Dubrovnik can be arranged in different versions depending on the selected product, yacht or speedboat class, destination, duration and preferred pace.

Combinations are possible when they fit safely within the confirmed tour duration. The final plan is agreed before departure and may be adjusted according to weather, sea conditions, port rules and captain recommendation.

Yes. The yacht option is especially comfortable for families thanks to additional space, easier movement onboard, and smoother cruising.
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.
It is planned as a compact highlight route suitable for common cruise windows, with exact duration confirmed against your docking schedule.
Yes, shade is a must when enjoying Dubrovnik waters!
The yacht tour prioritizes comfort and space for larger groups, while the speedboat tour is faster, more agile, and typically better value for smaller parties.
Our team adapts pickup/route timing around your updated schedule whenever operationally possible.
Safety comes first. If sea conditions are unsuitable, we offer route adjustment, rescheduling, or available alternatives based on your schedule.
Yes we do a private events. You can contact us via email : cs@tendo.hr or via our contact page
Please send us all informations about your requirments
In April / October / November boat tours really depends on the water conditions. In case the tour can't be done due to weather conditions we will always either issue a full refund or try to postpone the tour to the next day.
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.
Please contact us with your preferences and group details. We can offer everything from sleek speedboats for cave hopping to large motor yachts with shaded cabins and spacious lounge decks, and we will help match you with the right boat.
If you are celebrating a special occasion, please let us know in advance. We can help arrange special touches on board such as balloons, candles, drinks, and other decorations to make the experience more personal.
