Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan: three islands, one boat, your schedule

A private boat tour from Dubrovnik explores three Elaphiti Islands — Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan — with a professional skipper and crew, hotel pickup included, and the flexibility to swim, snorkel, walk ashore or anchor in hidden bays as you choose. You pick between a speedboat (up to 7 passengers) or a luxury motor yacht (up to 12 passengers), and the tour runs 4 to 8 hours depending on the vessel and option you book. Fuel surcharge is payable on board for some options.

The Experience

The boat leaves Dubrovnik with your hotel pickup handled beforehand, and the skipper plots the route based on what you want to do that day. Kolocep comes first, known for a sea cave ideal for swimming and snorkeling in blue water, with reefs and local beaches nearby. Time at each stop is yours to set — linger in the water or move on — and the crew adapts to what appeals to you.

Lopud holds Šunj Beach, a stretch of white sand and turquoise shallows backed by pine forest, and the village itself, where stone streets wind through gardens and centuries-old stone houses. The crew can suggest waterfront restaurants if you want lunch on the island; the choice is yours. Sipan's Suđurađ village sits at the far end of the route, a fishing settlement with stone-paved streets and views across the Adriatic, quieter than the tourist centers back on the mainland.

What you bring depends on the vessel: speedboats are faster and hold fewer people; motor yachts carry more passengers and include snorkeling masks and fins, cold drinks, and snacks. Some yacht options add a stand-up paddle board and a Jobe Seascooter for the water. No high heels on deck, and comfortable clothes work best. The exact departure time is confirmed when you book, and any changes go to the local supplier.
