Good to know
This suits anyone interested in Dubrovnik's medieval history or wanting good photo angles of the walls — and those who prefer a quieter, private experience to large group boats. The tour involves getting in and out of the boat and swimming in the sea, so reasonable comfort in water is assumed. It's not suitable for people with serious cardiovascular issues. The boat is exposed to sun and wind; bring sunscreen and a light jacket. Peak season (June–August) means Dubrovnik's waterfront is busy, but a private boat avoids crowding once you leave port. Inclusions cover non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks; food isn't mentioned. Group size isn't specified but 'private' suggests a small party. Service animals are welcome.
