About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- P927JHrobertk0 contributionsA worthwhile tripWe were Picked up from our hotel and brought to the port, the crew onboard were excellent and very attentive. It was so hot that we went swimming at each of the islands and only gave ourselves a short time to look at the local shops. Lunch onboard was lovely, I had fish and the wife had the chicken, the coolest thing was watching a staff member feeding the gulls from a plate he held out the window and seeing the gulls skillfully glide in to grab the food. As for the local spirit we were served afterwards, it would put heat in your bones, I had 3 shots of it 😉Written 23 October 2024
- marjot1840 contributionsGreat boat trip to 3 islandsWe had a great trip with this boat. Excellent, enthusiastic and very friendly crew. A lot of soft drinks and water included. The lunch was good and enough. They even served wine. Enough time to visit the islands. We preferred the first and third island. Lot of restaurants and carefree roads. Thanks for the perfect boat trip.Written 14 October 2024
- 806calif0 contributionsWell worth the time and money!We had a fantastic time! Definitely well worth the money. The first island has a great beach to swim, don’t forget your swim suit and walking shoes as the hike there is a bit more rigorous than expected. Wine and olive oil tasting at the second island proved quaint and lovely. The last island has two beaches to suit (or not to suit…) your fancy ;) Lowkey, relaxing and a great way to spend the day!Written 14 October 2024
- Stephen B0 contributionsIncredible ValueEverything exceeded expectations! Booked last minute and couldn't believe the value. The lunch itself was practically worth the price.Written 10 October 2024
- alex-tucker930 contributionsBlue Cave Afternoon TripI wanted to share my experience with our guides, Vinnie and Carolina. They were both so attentive and friendly. We opted for the afternoon tour from 2pm to 6pm, and we thought it was the perfect choice because we got to catch a bit of the sunset on the way back. The caves were absolutely worth the stops!Written 1 October 2024
- OnAir520503609530 contributionsfab boat tripFabulous day out, staff very friedly and attentive, boat comfortable and lunch very tasty. Lovely islands to explore would highly reccommendWritten 24 September 2024
- Explore4023430 contributionsA great day outThis was a great day out. Picked up from the hotel and taken to the harbour.lively and friendly staff and a captain who couldn’t sing but landed the boar beautifully on all three islands. The islands are beautiful and you have the right amount of time to see some of their beauty. Lunch is na experience. Quite tasty fish or chicken (not sure what a vegan would eat) and plenty of mash and slaw….plenty of that! Lots of good music and very relaxing. Highly recommended and the best value for money thing we did in Dubrovnik.Written 23 September 2024
- F771WYsharonj0 contributionsExcellent day out - definitely go on this tripWe have had a brilliant day out around the islands and had a lovely meal and there was plenty of drinks on offer all day we weren't sold short of anything. Couldn't fault any of it. Would definitely go on a trip all day. Also very good value for money. The only real fault I would have on reflection is to take cash as the vinyard on the island of Sipan doesn't take card but there is a bank there.Written 19 September 2024
- suerG5714LX0 contributionsAwesome trip!Loved the three Island tour. Very friendly, happy staff on the boat who looked after us very well. We were given plenty of time on each Island, especially Lopud. It has a lovely sandy beach on the other side so we were able to go and have a swim. The choice of food for lunch was either fish, chicken or a vegetarian dish. I had the chicken which was lovely except the potatoes were a little cold but still tasty. We were provide with lots of beverages including wine, red and white, shots and fruit juices! There is a water station on the boat too. We left at 9am and got back about 5.45pm. Would 100% recommend it. 👌Written 19 September 2024
- Departure263768579030 contributionsFantastic boat tripA lovely boat trip to the three islands of Lopod, Sipan & Kolocep. A good mix of time spent on board relaxing and taking in the views from the boat and time allocated to wander around the islands on the stop offs. We found the lunch we were provided on board at our stop at Lopod was enjoyable and filling plus free wine and water on offer. The crew of the boat were all very friendly and the whole day run smoothly from pick up in old town Dubrovnik to the drop off. The trip was good value for your money and would definitely recommend if you are looking for something to do for a day.Written 17 September 2024
- M6950ZCtaylorb0 contributionsGorgeous views, just enough adventure , would do it again but a little different.The overall experience was amazing. Ill start with the cons first and the reason for me not rating this 5/5. Unfortunately our whole private tour was delayed almost 1 hour and that really sucked. We didn't get any sun on the nice beach part because we went in the afternoon and ended up starting at 4pm. The travel agent we dealt with ,Angela ,was amazing, and super sweet. Everyone apologized profusely, though that late start definitely minuses 1 star for me. I didn't like waiting in the heat for an hour but they did their best with the circumstances to get us a new boat as soon as possible because the boat gas station was backed up that day. The "unlimited" drinks from a North American understanding was grossly underestimated. There was a cooler with some pop and beer and a ( not so good) bottle of white wine. Id say I expected a little more from this description. Maybe at least 2 wines to choose from in little bottles.. and unfortunately cups were missing. Had we all wanted to drink beer there would not have been enough. I would suggest anyone who purchases this private package let the agent know what kind of drinks you'd like to drink so at least there's enough for everyone in the party. Pros ! We had a great skipper, joško, he was very easy going and shared some stories and history of the area. He led us on a beautiful scenic route through jutting out rocks and close to the cliff, places we couldn't go with a bigger boat ( like inside a cave) . You could tell he is passionate and enjoys his job and he handled the boat ( from my extreme lack of knowledge in this department :p ) very good. We could choose when we wanted to leave each of the spots, had there been a bit more sun we would have stayed at the gorgeous sandy beach but I feel that 1 hour delay took that part a bit away from us. Our skipper made up for that though by driving us to a local restaurant on another island, for drinks and food while the sun went down. We loved being able to snorkel/ swim around with the masks, we enjoyed the views , overall it was a beautiful , relaxing time. I myself am not much of a boat person and I think this was a great experience to re define my feelings on boats, cave swimming and more. All in all I would not suggest leaving in the afternoon. It's a 4 hour package so if you do leave in the afternoon . Between 1 and 3 pm would be better. We had ours originally scheduled for 3 and I think our sun and beach experience ( had we left on time) would have only been like half an hour or 45 min max. We paid 340 euros for this package, between the 3 of us it was worth it since the other tour would have been 75-80 bucks per person with 15 to 20 other people and a strict time schedule. 30 euros more per person was definitely worth the privacy, sunbathing while we drove and flexibility.Written 29 August 2024
- frankrP9978RZ0 contributionsReally, Really FunPleasantly surprised to be met by a shot of Grappa at 9 AM. And it only got better. Incredibly attentive and kind staff. Shout outs to Sandra and Niki! But the main man running it, whose name escapes me, was always quick to respond to any questions and issues we had prior to boarding (and yes, you need to bring your own towel if you plan to get in the water, which is highly recommended. Multinational clientele who were all happy to be on this "semi-Booze-Cruise". All good, Will do it again the next time I'm back in Dubrovnik! Hvala to the Crew!!Written 28 August 2024
- mick h0 contributionsGreat value trip, amazing crew!Wonderful trip.around the Elaphite islands. These trips are great as you meet some fellow travellers and have a good laugh. The first stop was the largest island Sipan, this had a lovely sandy beach but a little dirty. We were there for 3 hours, which is plenty of time for a swim and a walk. There are lots of bars and restaurants to have a drink or 2. The crew were great, very friendly, and offered lots of soft drinks. Lunch was better than expected, and there was lots of wine to wash it down. We then went on to 2 smaller islands, which were very similar to each other, to be honest. A quick drink in the shade after a little walk was plenty of time ashore. Great trip at a great price!Written 27 August 2024
- BucksOzzie0 contributionsDo not hesitate to do this trip - it was such a great day!We were picked up from The Sun Gardens where we were staying so it was extremely easy for us. The entire crew were very friendly, warm and welcoming which made the day so easy and enjoyable. They got the balance just right for anyone attending - the music had the right balance and wasn’t too quiet or noisy. We went to 3 islands in total , each one very different. Lopud thd first one, had the most going on and the 3 hours flew by! Our advice would be to avoid going to the beach via buggy and just stay around the port which is so much nicer. The beach was overcrowded and the golf buggy ride not worth it. Then when you got there, you had to pay again for a lounger as there was nowhere to sit and the bars and restaurants were overly commercialised and nothing special. In total we wasted over 50 euros on the beach when we should have stayed around the port and enjoyed a relaxing coffee. We boarded the boat after 3 hours and were served a delicious lunch! It was so relaxing and then we set off for the next island while still eating and enjoying some wine. The 2nd island was a total contrast to the first and we had a wine tasting there and bought some lovely rose wine. The third island we went to the bar on the waterfront and sat watching the world go by. All in all a fantastic day and would not hesitate to recommend.Written 26 August 2024
- Catherine H0 contributionsLovely day outThe staff were super friendly and helpful. Really lovely. Water, wine and fizzy drinks all included as part of the tour - including some local grappa! The food was good value. We both had the chicken. All three islands are gorgeous. Marinero give you some suggestions as you arrive at each place and then the rest is up to you. So you can choose the level of energy you want to put in. The first island Lupud has the most to do/see (we had about 3hrs there). We chose to walk up the fort/view point which was fairly intense and uneven ground but still only took about 30mins to get to the top. Incredible views. A great day out!Written 20 August 2024

From organising the transfers, they were extremely well organised and communicated brilliantly.
Tour wasn't packed of people like others so felt you could enjoy the boat. Lunch was delicious and this is a great trip to consider if you like to get a taste for some lovely islands off the coast. Saw dolphins too, bonus!

Honestly one of the better trips whilst visiting Dubrovnik. A great way to see the islands and coast and you will be VERY looked after by all of the staff.
Hospitality second to none and customer service was impeccable. Your provided with drinks throughout as well as lunch (chicken, fish or vegetarian). We enjoyed the vegetarian option.
Would highly recommend you doing this day tour.
Some info...
You can get a loft to sunj beach for 3 euro pp (recommend as hill isn't easy).
Views from the fortress are amazing but it's extremely difficult to get up there.

We had an amazing day with Marinerso team today. Everyone from Laura we met in old town purchased our tour and crow in the boat were so friendly lovely people. We swam in all three islands we loved Lopud and sipan the most. The water was very clear and lovely but the sand beach in Klocep was not as clear than the other 2 islands. The lunch we had fish and potato salad they were all delicious. Overall we had a memorable day with lovely staff , guests and music. Highly recommend the tour if you’re looking for much fun and relaxation day.
