About Explore Dubrovnik
Explore Dubrovnik is a private boat tour company operating out of Gruz Harbour, the main commercial port on the western side of the city. The company runs a fleet of skippered speedboats and offers customisable itineraries to the Elaphiti Islands, Mljet National Park, Korcula, and the hidden coves and sea caves that dot the southern Dalmatian coastline. Every charter is private — no shared boats, no fixed schedule — so guests set the pace and pick the stops.
Tour options range from a four-hour half-day island sampler to a full eight-hour expedition that reaches the distant island of Mljet and its famous saltwater lakes. A mid-range six-hour Elaphiti Islands tour covers Kolocep, Lopud, and Sipan with swimming stops, a seafood lunch on shore, and time to wander village lanes. Fuel, a professional skipper, soft drinks, and snorkelling gear are included in every package. The company also provides complimentary minivan transfers between Dubrovnik accommodation and the harbour for online bookings.
Explore Dubrovnik's strength is flexibility. The skipper adjusts the route on departure day based on weather, sea conditions, and guest preferences — whether that means chasing the best swimming spot, timing a visit to the Blue Cave at the right light, or simply anchoring in a quiet bay for an unhurried lunch. It is a polished, professional operation that feels personal rather than packaged.
