The boat slips free from the marina and Dubrovnik’s stone silhouette recedes, wind fingering the sails as the Elafiti islands come into view — green, low, and patient. The first stop is Koločep: a tidy village, transparent bays and pine-scented coves that invite a morning swim. Later, Lopud’s signature sandy crescent at Šunǰ feels almost tropical compared with the rocky Dalmatian coast, and the sea dares you to drop the line and snorkel.

8 hours.
Suitable for people in regular physical condition; you'll board from a marina and do short swims or beach exits, plus some walking on Šipan.
The charter departs from Marina Frapa (near Hotel Lapad) in Dubrovnik and returns to the same marina at the end of the day.
Yes — snorkeling gear is included in the tour price and available for use during stops.
Meals are not included; you can choose to eat at island restaurants (recommended) or bring your own provisions for the boat.
The trip is family-friendly but requires basic swimming ability for water exits; infants must sit on an adult’s lap and life jackets are available.
The Elafiti islands were part of the maritime sphere of the Dubrovnik (Ragusa) Republic; Šipan became known for summer estates, vineyards and olive cultivation owned by noble families.
