Where We'll Take You

From medieval island towns to hidden sea caves — every destination along the Dubrovnik coastline is a masterpiece waiting to be discovered by private speedboat.

National Park

Mljet National Park

The western tip of Mljet — Croatia's greenest island, more than half of it covered in dense Mediterranean pine forest — was declared a national park in 1960, the oldest marine protected area in the Mediterranean. Two interconnected salt lakes, a 12th-century Benedictine monastery and miles of forest paths sit barely 60 minutes from Dubrovnik by private speedboat.

Island

Lopud Island

Lopud is the gem of the Elaphiti archipelago — a car-free island of pine forests, abandoned monasteries and a single, wide sandy bay called Šunj that is unlike anything else on the Croatian coast. Just 35 minutes from Dubrovnik by speedboat, it is the perfect half-day escape.

UNESCO Old Town

Dubrovnik Old Town

Dubrovnik's Old Town is the best-preserved walled medieval city on the Adriatic — nearly two kilometres of limestone fortifications, sixteen towers and three forts guarding an intact historic core that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. From a private speedboat you see what the architects of the Republic of Ragusa intended: a city that rises straight out of the sea.

Hidden Lagoon

Green Lagoon Sjekirica

Sjekirica is a tiny hatchet-shaped peninsula north-west of Dubrovnik, tucked into the mainland near the village of Brsečine. A narrow rocky causeway — submerged at high tide — separates it from the shore and frames a small, impossibly clear green-blue lagoon. It is almost impossible to reach by land, which is exactly why it has stayed untouched.

Nature Reserve

Lokrum Island

Lokrum is the forested island sitting 600 metres off the Dubrovnik shore — a 72-hectare nature reserve almost entirely covered in Mediterranean forest, with a 1,000-year-old Benedictine monastery at its centre, a salt-water lake known as Mrtvo More (the Dead Sea), free-roaming peacocks and a real Iron Throne in the old cloister. It is the closest, easiest island escape from the Old Town walls.

Marco Polo's Town

Korčula Town

Korčula is one of the most perfectly preserved walled towns on the Adriatic — a tiny fortified peninsula on the eastern coast of Korčula island, full of narrow stone streets in a unique herringbone pattern, Renaissance palaces, the Cathedral of St. Mark and the house that tradition links to Marco Polo. Sometimes called 'little Dubrovnik', it sits roughly 90 minutes by private speedboat from the city itself.

Hidden Sea Cave

Betina Cave

Betina Cave is a hidden sea cave cut into the limestone cliffs of the Ploče coast, just east of Dubrovnik's Old Town. Reachable only by boat, the cave opens onto a small pebble shore and a sheltered basin of crystal-clear turquoise water — and takes its name from the 17th-century Dubrovnik scientist who used it as a private laboratory.

Glowing Sea Cave

Blue Cave

On the southern coast of Koločep — the nearest inhabited island to Dubrovnik — a natural chamber in the limestone cliffs holds one of the most striking light effects on the Adriatic. Sunlight enters through an opening roughly a metre and a half below the waterline and reflects off the pale seabed, flooding the cave interior with an intense blue glow. The only way in is to swim.

Mythological Sea Cave

Odysseus Cave

On the south coast of Mljet, below the village of Babino Polje, the limestone roof of a sea cave collapsed long ago and left an open chamber known locally as 'Jama' — the Pit. A twenty-metre tunnel at sea level connects it to the open Adriatic. According to local tradition, this is the Ogygia of Homer's Odyssey: the place where Odysseus was held by the nymph Calypso for seven years.

Pelješac Fishing Bay

Kobaš Bay

Seven kilometres from Ston along the south coast of Pelješac, the hills close in and the road runs out — or until recently, did. Kobaš was accessible only by boat for most of its existence, earning the nickname 'island on the peninsula'. The bay is sheltered enough to moor comfortably, the beach is sand, and the two tavernas serving the jetty have been drawing sailors and private boats here for four decades.

Protected Sand Beach

Saplunara Beach

At the south-eastern tip of Mljet — the opposite end of the island from the National Park — the limestone coastline gives way to sand. Saplunara is a bay roughly a kilometre long, divided into Velika and Mala Saplunara, with Blaca (our Lemon Lagoon stop) around the headland. The sand comes from Pleistocene deposits, the shelf stays shallow well offshore, and the entire area has been protected under EU Natura 2000 legislation since 2013.

Hidden Sand Lagoon

Lemon Lagoon

Around the headland from Mala Saplunara, a rocky barrier reef runs across the mouth of the bay, narrowing the entrance to roughly eight metres. The result is a near-enclosed lagoon — known locally as Blaca, with the beach inside called Limuni, or Lemon Lagoon in English. Boats anchor outside; guests swim through. The restricted water exchange means the lagoon heats several degrees above the open sea, and there is nothing inside but sand, pines and quiet.

Walled Salt Town

Ston

In 1333, the Dubrovnik Republic acquired the Pelješac peninsula and immediately built two new towns: Veliki Ston, beside saltworks recorded since 167 BC, and Mali Ston, across the ridge on the bay. To protect the salt — which contributed roughly a third of the Republic's income — they began building walls in 1358. What survives today is 5.5 kilometres of limestone fortification, the longest preserved system of its kind in Europe.
