Why you’ll love this…
  • Sit back and enjoy the views on this Catamaran cruise

What to expect

Just offshore from the bustle and buzz of Dubrovnik lie the Elaphite islands, a tranquil contrast to the city. This idyllic sailing getaway takes you to discover two different Islands in the archipelago, Šipan and Lopud. Lucija, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘There are less than 1000 permanent inhabitants living in the Elaphite islands, giving you an idea of just how peaceful and rustic they are. Some of the islands are car-free, so you'll really feel you're in a different world if you arrive straight from busy Dubrovnik'

As soon as you're settled on board, you'll set sail towards Šipan, the largest island in the archipelago. Steeped in history, it's dotted with numerous old churches and noblemen's villas. Enjoy free time to explore and swim with the island as your backdrop. If you are feeling energetic, take a hike up to the Holy Trinity church, sitting on a hilltop just behind the port. The trail weaves through classic Mediterranean vegetation en route to the top, from where the views are fabulous.

Next, your captain will cruise towards Lopud to the south. It's much smaller and car-free, too, so you can expect complete serenity as you meander around on its footpaths. Lopud is known for its pretty beaches, making it a perfect place for a dip and a spot of sunbathing. The scenery unfurling as you weave through the islands on this cruise is all part of the appeal, as well as drinks on tap from the onboard bar.

Konavle Valley Wine-tasting Tour with Scenic Train

Konavle valley's distinctive culture and cuisine are revealed in all their glory during this half-day tour. You'll sample locally grown wines at family-run vineyards, ride a train from village to village and tuck into some traditional food, all in the scenic surroundings of the Konavle valley. Antun, one of our local guides, says, ‘Dubrovačka Malvasija is the renowned grape variety unique to this region. Local winemakers managed to save the species, even though there were only three healthy vines remaining in the post-war period.'Located near the border with Montenegro, between mountains and the Adriatic Sea, the valley is a sun-drenched countryside escape from Dubrovnik. You'll arrive in the village of Zastolje to visit the historic Brajković winery, then it's all aboard to ride to Ljuta by train. Here, you'll see how the 500-year-old Đivanović water mill had dual purposes – since medieval times it was used to produce flour and process wool into fabric.After this visit, we'll continue to a different vineyard and wine cellar for more tasting. You'll sample some local culture when you try a typical ploughman's lunch, just as the farmers would eat during a hard day in the fields. The final stop is a third winery. Antun says, ‘You'll relish a cold glass of Konavle rosé alongside a slice of typical pandišpanj sponge cake at this vineyard. Pandišpanj is traditionally made for special occasions, like this tour, when we welcome our guests to our beautiful Konavle valley.'

Båttur i Kotorbukten med ön Gospa od Škrpjela

Båttur i Kotorbukten med ön Gospa od Škrpjela

Montenegros Kotorbukt är legendarisk. Dramatiska bergslandskap, skimrande blått vatten och den muromgärdade staden Kotor gör detta fjordliknande landskap till en höjdpunkt. Du kommer att besöka den berömda ön Gospa od Škrpjela under en båttur i bukten innan du åker vidare till Kotor stad. Ivana, en av våra kunniga lokalguider, säger: ”Lokalborna kallar bukten Boka och är stolta över att den finns med på Unescos världsarvslista på grund av dess naturliga, kulturella och historiska betydelse. Det finns en stark hantverkstradition i området och städerna är kända för sin fina arkitektur.Efter en bilfärd längs den dalmatiska kusten går du ombord på din båt och sätter segel mot det smala sundet Verige, där hela bukten öppnar sig, och du kommer att se varför Kotorbukten är Montenegros mest berömda resmål. Efter att ha passerat Perast, Stoliv och Prčanj är det första stoppet den sagolika ön Gospa od Škrpjela, en plats som Ivana älskar. ”Av alla museer i regionen är det på holmen det jag helst guidar”, säger hon. ”Kyrkan är som ett konstgalleri och museet innehåller pärlor som Jacinta Kunić-broderiet.Tillbaka ombord äter vi en god lunch ombord på väg till Kotor stad. Här har du ledig tid att utforska denna befästa medeltida pärla full av venetianska palats. Besök katedralen St Tryphon och dess skattkammare, gå uppför stadsmuren eller titta på den lokala marknaden, där du kan prova och köpa lokala specialiteter som rökt skinka, fårost och konjak.

Blue Cave by night

Blue Cave by night

As you cruise around the wild green island of Kolocep in the Adriatic Sea, you'll catch a glimpse of traditional Croatian life, with its peaceful fishing villages, sprawling Mediterranean landscapes and mesmerising caves. You'll gather at the dock for a quick safety briefing before setting sail on an evening adventure that takes you to the island's famous caves that have been carefully carved by the sea over thousands of years. Local guide, Mia, says "I love asking guests which cave is their favourite because they're so different. The Green Caves feel rejuvenating and full of life, while the Blue Cave has a more mysterious feel."After a cruise across the calm waters of the Adriatic, you'll approach the lesser-known but utterly magical Three Green Caves, affectionately known as the ‘Three Sisters'. The captain will drop anchor, giving you around half an hour to swim around and explore. To see the emerald-green reflections that give them their name, head to the largest green cave. And, if you're feeling adventurous, swim through the narrow passage of the Canyon Cave to see the light and shadows dance on the cliff walls. Hop back onboard, where there's plenty of soft drinks, beer and wine, and head to the south of the island and the famous Blue Cave. Mia adds “in the evening light, the tunnels and caverns take on a whole new level of beauty.” You'll have time to take in the peaceful atmosphere and vivid blues for yourself as you moor up for around 30 minutes here. Then, it's back on the boat for a few drinks and some music as you return to the dock with a new appreciation for nature's masterpieces.

Dubrovnik katamarantur med badstopp

Strax utanför Dubrovniks kust ligger Elafitiöarna, en oas av citrusplantager, tallklädda kullar och sandstränder. Se dessa Instagramvänliga öarna ombord på en 3-timmars katamarantur komplett med all inclusive-drinkar, tilltugg och badstopp. Det är ett utmärkt sätt att tillbringa dagen i Kroatien. Jakov, en av våra erfarna lokalguider, säger: ”De ligger kanske bara en kort båttur från livliga Dubrovnik, men dessa 13 öar är en helt annan värld. Endast tre är bebodda och den totala befolkningen är mindre än 1 000 personer. De är lika vackra som de är fridfulla.”Efter att ha blivit upphämtad på ditt hotell beger vi oss till hamnen i Gruz och ger oss av på vårt ö-äventyr. Det finns mer än 1 000 öar i Kroatien – men få är vackrare än de 13 Elafitiöarna. Vi seglar in i ett urval av de bästa vikarna medan du njuter av friflytande öl, vin och läsk från baren. Det kommer att finnas färsk frukt och tilltugg med.Bättra på din solbränna på däck så lägger vi ankar i vikar som lockar dig att ta ett dopp. Svalka dig med ett dopp eller stanna kvar ombord för att koppla av i solskenet – valet är ditt. Efter några timmar till sjöss kommer du att vara lagom avslappnad när vi vänder tillbaka till hamnen.
