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
Lovely safe trip that followed Covid rules. Friendly crew. Good selection of drinks on board with rolls & fruit for lunch. A lovely day had by all !
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.
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.
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.
