Perfect boat day - I'll be honest, me and my wife were a little hesitant about booking this trip due to the price point as you can get many similar trips for half the price and I think on some you can get blue caves also, which isn't included on this trip. However we went for it as the catermaran sold it to us, this turns out to be what we expected. Such a more nicer sailing feeling when on a sea trip, I think it adds to the experience as you could just sit on the sides and dangle your legs over the edge sit back and soak it all in. I would say that the first island stop is only 1hr which doesn't seem quite long enough to do anything, so we just had a glass of wine and enjoyed the views. You then pull away from the port and jump in the sea for 30mins or so while having a cheese and ham roll, which was a little annoying for us as we're both vegetarians (Took the ham out). Overall a very relaxing day and good to get out away from the city to enjoy the rest of Croatia 🇭🇷.

Catamaran - So perfect!! It was a little late in the season for swimming (dang it) but otherwise just gorgeous and relaxing.

Ok but not as good as we thought and not really suitable for children as an observation - The swim stop was great, the second island was too long with nothing to do but another swim stop would have been better time used. Unlimited drinks weren’t mentioned on the boat, lunch although a snack could have been a traditional snack not a baguette!

Call it a Ferry - Let me put it briefly: It is nothing more or less than a crossing to Elaphiti Islands. The catamaran leaves from Dubrovnik with 80 people. Then a liqueur will be served. Will it go on like this? No. The boat sets course for the first destination, all without a sail. The destination is called Koločep. There is not much to see there. A small port with 1-2 small bars and a few shops. After an hour, the catamaran continues towards Lopud Island, before jumping into the water is allowed and a cheese / ham sandwich is offered, with wine, beer and cola. Now you think it goes on like this and you head for a bay where you can snorkel. Far from it, the boat is heading for the port of Lopud. There you are asked to leave the boat for 4 hours in order to cater for yourself after this snack. 4 hours is too much time for this island. The island is beautiful, no question about it. But it's not really busy either. From a restaurant we could then watch the catamaran, on which the staff enjoyed swimming in the clear water. Just as one would actually have wished for this day. After a 4-hour stay, the return trip to Dubrovnik, again without a sail. The aforementioned drinks and watermelon were served. The staff was friendly, very nice. It was spoken in 3 languages ​​for hints and explanations. They were English, German and French. Conclusion: I don't call it a sailing trip with snorkeling and island hopping it was more of a ferry trip on a catamaran without a sail.

Nice, but not what was expected - The boat was nice, but a little crowded. There was a cruise ship in port that day and a large group from the cruise booked this as an excursion (my mom and I were not on the cruise. We were in Dubrovnik for the week). The guide only spoke French and German, even though it is listed that the guide would speak English. The day also did not follow the itinerary listed. Maybe because of the cruise excursion, but we only went to two islands and the last island they dropped us off for 4 hours, so we really did not spend that much time on the actual boat.

An OK experience - The trip itself was good - Ivana is a great guide and the on-boat service was great - but there were some things that were off. The company changed the date of the trip without notifying me; then, half-hour before the meeting time they called me to ask if I can be at the pickup point 10 minutes earlier and seemed really impatient when I was the last one to get to the boat. There’s nothing to do on the island where the boat first stopped - Ivana sent us on an uphill walk to nowhere in a 30-degree heat. We spent an hour there doing nothing when we could have spent it at the beach on the second island. Not saying to avoid this company but be aware.

Fun - but - Good excursion and fun but it’s suppose to include salads and snacks. Chicken only options is not very inclusive. In this day and age vegetarian options are a must.

Nice cruise, too many people - The scenery was beautiful, the staff nice, but it was too crowded on the catamaran. The light salad didn’t taste like anything. They were generous with drinks though, but the wine was not very good.

Not the sailing cruise we expected - Seems we were not the only ones to expect we were going to sail on this trip booking a trip with a sailing boat. That was the first real let down but it did not stop there. I actually asked a crew member and he said they never sail unless it is a private charter! So we boarded the boat around 9 am in the morning. When we left the Harbour I don't know but we set off towards the first island where we got about an hour to walk around. Not much to do there but I guess the idea is to contribute to the local economy? At 11.15 we left and went straight to the next island where we had the swim and snack stop, people did not have much time to eat, drink and swim. The crew actually started to call people out of the water because we had to leave. At noon they docked at the island and told everyone to get off. I still dad my wet swim trunks on and had to grab my backpack and get off the boat with a mug of wine I did not have a chance to finish. The crew told people to hurry because there were boats behind that had to dock. I changed my clothes at the play ground next to the dock. We were in excile for 4 hours before we were picked up again. We walked around, had lunch and stayed on the beach but 4 hours was too long. Could have done with 2. When we got on-board the boat at 4 pm it was full steam back to Dubrovnik. No problem to offer unlimited drinks when so much time was not spent on the boat. Overall it felt more like transportation between island than a cruise. A real let down based on our expectations.
