What to expect
You'll board your private yacht in Dubrovnik and head out to the Elafiti Islands with a professional skipper. The day is unscheduled — you decide which islands to visit, how long to stay at each, and when to swim or snorkel. Most visitors split time between Šipan (with its stone villas and shallow swimming spots), Lopud (featuring a sandy beach and palm-lined waterfront), and Koločep (quieter, forested, good for snorkelling). You can eat lunch at a seaside restaurant of your choice, or stay onboard with provided snacks and drinks. The boat offers deck space to relax and WiFi if needed.
Bring a swimsuit and sunscreen. A towel and snorkelling gear are on hand. The skipper manages all navigation; your only job is to enjoy the pace you set.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting a flexible day on the water without the rigidity of group tours — families, couples, or solo travellers who prefer choice. It's not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal injuries, or anyone with poor cardiovascular health; the sea can be choppy and there's unavoidable motion. Infants and small children can come (pram-friendly boarding), but parents should be ready for a full 8-hour day at sea. Lunch at island restaurants is your cost; everything else (drinks, snacks, equipment, skipper) is included. Group size isn't specified, but it's a private charter, so your party sets the headcount. Summer is busier; aim for shoulder seasons if you prefer quieter islands.
