Simon was GREAT! We loved everything about this experience. He made sure the trip was all about what we wanted to do and see. We got to swim in the gorgeous caves, view the cliffs, and just enjoy being on the water. He made sure to book us lunch reservations and yummy drinks on board as well. We would 100% recommend!

    Wonderful boat tour with...

    Derya_A, Sep 2025
    Wonderful boat tour with an equally wonderful captain. Simon was incredibly helpful and accommodating towards our requests. We stayed as long as we liked in certain areas and just passed by others that we weren't interested in. Great way to spend a day on the water!

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and that we could tailor the trip to your wishes. Exploring the Elafiti Islands with you was a real pleasure, and I hope to welcome you back one day for another adventure on the Adriatic!

    Highly recommended

    Elisabeth_P, Sep 2025
    Sime is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and safe Captain. He was very responsive to our needs and made sure 5 friends had a great time on a private 4 hour boat trip. We highly recommend him!

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure having you on board, and I’m glad you and your friends enjoyed the trip. Making sure my guests feel safe, relaxed, and have a memorable experience is always my top priority. I really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on the water in Dubrovnik again!

    Cannot recommend Simon more highly!!! he was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. This was one of the highlights of our trip

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m delighted to hear the tour was a highlight of your trip and that you enjoyed both the experience and my local insights. It was truly a pleasure having you on board, and I’d be happy to welcome you again anytime!

    Perfect Day!

    Jennifer_M, Jul 2025
    Amazing AMAZING day with Simon on the water! Pick up was seamless, the boat was perfect for our family of 4, and Simon was the best captain we could have asked for. He tailored the day perfectly to exactly what we wanted, and was a pro at getting to popular spots like the Blue Cave before the crowds. Truly one of the best excursions I’ve ever done, anywhere! Thank you Simon!!

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you so much for this amazing review! It was such a pleasure having you and your family on board, and I’m really happy to hear the day was everything you hoped for. I always do my best to tailor the tour to each group, so it’s great to know it made a difference—and I’m especially glad we beat the crowds to the Blue Cave! Your kind words truly mean a lot. I’d love to welcome you again anytime for another adventure on the water!

    Absolutely awesome experience!

    Christy_B, Jun 2025
    Family of four - sons aged 18 and 20; cruise port - We booked this as a way to escape the crowds and see the beauty of Croatia from the water. We were on a cruise so we had limited time and needed something meaningful for the short amount of time we had in this beautiful port. Simon, our skipper, touched base with us prior to the trip to discuss where we would meet. He was in touch again the morning of the experience and even drove past our cruise ship and waved to us so we could see the boat before we were able to disembark the ship! His instructions on finding the boat were great; it was about a 10 minute walk from the ship (easy - flat and on sidewalks) We got there about 15 minutes early so we started a little early and got some extra time! Starting early also meant that we beat the big tour boats to the first cave and we had the place to ourselves for several minutes, which was glorious. Simon had snorkeling equipment on the boat and even a GoPro that we were able to take into the water with us! He also had waters, soft drinks, and towels. Simon took us to some beautiful caves where we just went in and looked and then two other stops where we were able to swim into some really awesome caves! Because this was a private tour, we were able to tailor it to what our family wanted to do (with options provided by Simon). Our other two stops included a beach area and a precious little fishing village. In addition to the beautiful boat, amenities, and amazing scenery, we truly enjoyed our day on the water with Simon. He was so kind and knowledgeable about the area. After our four-hour tour, we went back to the ship for lunch and still had time to take the cruise shuttle into the Old Town and see the walled city for about two hours. I highly recommend this company and experience. Planning a trip can be so stressful. This is a no-brainer for a fabulous day on the water to enjoy the splendor of Dubrovnik with no crowds.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Wow — thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review! It was truly a pleasure meeting you and your wonderful family and sharing a piece of Dubrovnik's coastline with you. I’m really happy we were able to make the most of your limited time in port and that you enjoyed the caves, snorkeling, and peaceful stops away from the crowds. I always try to add a personal touch (like waving from the boat!) and I’m glad it made things easier and more fun for you. Hearing that the day was meaningful and memorable for your family means a lot to me. Thank you again for choosing Stella Maris Dubrovnik Boats, and I hope our paths cross again someday — whether on another cruise or a longer visit to Croatia! All the best!

    Wonderful day and beautiful scenery

    Sandy_M, May 2025
    It was a perfect trip to the Elaphite Islands. Simon was an excellent captain and tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the islands and his recommendations were perfect. I highly recommend this tour to the islands.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and showing you the beauty of the Elaphite Islands. I'm glad you enjoyed my recommendations and had a great time on the tour. Thank you for choosing our trip and for recommending it – I hope to see you again out on the sea! ⛵😊

    Great experience, value and service. So fun!

    Michelle_C, Nov 2024
    This was a fantastic experience that I would absolutely recommend if you are visiting Dubrovnik. My only regret is that we didn't do a full eight hours because once you're out there on the water, you'll never want to leave. Simon was a great host with really positive energy, we went with just my husband and I and Simon knew how to make us feel comfortable and ensure we had a great time. He made sure to customize the trip to what we felt like doing so we got to tour several islands and swim in the blue caves. We loved the privacy of having our own boat so we could make the day our own. I debated doing one of the much cheaper group boat tours and am so glad we did this instead. We did a six hour tour and I believe for the price, service and drinks included this experience is well worth it. You won't regret it!!!!

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Dear Michelle and Mauricio, thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience! It was an absolute pleasure having you both on board, and I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip. Exploring the islands and swimming in the blue caves with such lovely guests made the day just as memorable for me. I completely understand what you mean about not wanting to leave the water—once you're out there, it's hard to say goodbye! I’m thrilled that the privacy of the boat and the customized experience made your day special. It’s always my goal to ensure my guests feel comfortable and have the best possible time, so reading your kind words truly means a lot. Thank you again for choosing to spend your day with me, and I hope to welcome you back on board for an even longer adventure next time you’re in Dubrovnik! Wishing you both all the best!

    Perfect Dubrovnik Water Day

    Erik_N, Sep 2024
    Wow, what a day! First and foremost, Šime (Simon) is amazing! As soon as the excursion was booked, he emailed to confirm pickup location and was available for any questions. We met him at our location and off we went. Simon knows Dubrovnik. He knows the city, its people and culture. We were curious and had a lot of questions and he was more than happy to answer. Simon set up an itinerary that allowed us plenty of opportunities to swim and sightsee. He even recommended a restaurant on one of the islands and called ahead to make a reservation for us. The food was amazing! There are several operators in the city with similar activities, but I think Simon's friendliness and knowledge really made this tour special. Next time we are in Dubrovnik, we will make it a point to seek him out! Hvala!

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Thank you so much for your fantastic review! I’m thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful day and that my efforts made your experience memorable. From the moment you booked the excursion, I aim to ensure everything goes smoothly, so I’m glad the communication was helpful. I love sharing my passion for Dubrovnik, and it’s always a pleasure to answer questions and share insights about the city, its culture, and its people. I’m also delighted that you enjoyed the itinerary and had plenty of opportunities to swim and explore. The restaurant recommendation is one of my favorites, and I'm glad you enjoyed the food there! It’s these personal touches that make the tour special, and I’m so happy you appreciated them. Thank you for your kind words about my friendliness and knowledge—it means a lot to me. I look forward to welcoming you back to Dubrovnik in the future. Hvala vam i vidimo se!

    Must Do in Dubrovnik

    Lauren_P, Aug 2024
    Simon is the BEST!!! 12/10 stars ⭐️ my husband and I did the 8 hour tour which I highly recommend because the day will go by so fast (especially due to stopping for lunch). We went to the caves, leisurely made our way to a few bays to drop anchor for swimming, stopped for lunch on Lopud, and had plenty of water, beer, and wine. We were so comfortable on the boat and felt very safe in good hands with Simon. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to come back again someday. Ana, our driver, was also very nice and it was great to be picked up and dropped off wherever we wanted. Do not skip this if you want a full day on the water!

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Thank you so much for your amazing review! I’m thrilled to hear that you and your husband had such a fantastic time on the 8-hour tour. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the beautiful caves and bays, as well as the leisurely swimming and lunch on Lopud. I always strive to create a comfortable and safe experience for my guests, so I’m delighted to know you felt that way on the boat. I’m also glad to hear you enjoyed the drinks and had a relaxing day overall. Ana is a fantastic driver, and I’m glad she contributed to your experience by providing seamless pick-up and drop-off service. Your recommendation means a lot to me, and I can’t wait to welcome you back for another day on the water! Thank you once again, and see you soon!

    Great cappy, unforgettable boat ride

    Eliza_D, Aug 2024
    Simon was a great cappy through and through. We were 10+ mins late for pick up but he negotiated with the driver to wait/come back for us. We wanted an unconventional itinerary and to avoid crowds, so he took us to quiet spots and also indulged us when we wanted to do a swim in the middle of the ocean and took us around to see two lighthouses! (We’re obsessed with lighthouses.) We stopped by for lunch in Lopud and Simon recommended an amazing seafood restaurant. The seabass was simple but divine. The boat was clean; the tour had all the wine, beer, water we needed. And at the end of the trip, we were given a lift back to our Airbnb. We recommend doing at least the 6-hour tour.

    Amazing Experience

    Courtney_C, Jul 2024
    We had the greatest time, I highly recommend this tour especially if you have children! Simon was amazing and knowledgeable through the whole experience. The fact that you’re able to spend as much or as little time in each place as you like was really important to us as we didn’t want to rush our 9 year old when he was exploring! 10/10 would do it again when we come back!!

    Wow wow wow

    Abi_E, Jun 2024
    Simon was amazing. Before our trip he messaged me to make sure that everything was ready and made sure to let me know that he could accommodate our needs, for example I am a wheelchair user and he wanted to check that I could get onboard. Towel and drinks are provided including local beer and wine. Totally worth the money. Simon was super friendly and we chatted with him the whole journey. The boat was brand new and luxurious. We went to the blue cave and 2 swimming spots, the best things about this tour is that they can do what you want. Want caves? you can go there. Want beaches? You can do that. Will be back to this boat for sure!!!

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    Dear Abi, thank you for a very nice comment. I am so glad that you had a nice time at Stella Maris Dubrovnik Boats. :) I was very glad and very nice to meet you and your family. I look forward to seeing you again in October.

    We had such a great time on this boat tour. We were lucky and had perfect weather in early October, and our boat captain Sime was so helpful in recommending an itinerary. We stopped for swimming at one beach and a couple of caves, which were beautiful. Sime was very informative and it was just a perfect morning. Thanks Sime!
