A low-slung Jeanneau slips along the copper-red roofs of Dubrovnik as the city walls rise like a carved spine from the sea. From the water, the Old Town's limestone facades and fortifications read differently: carved windows, gun embrasures, and the crenellated walkways appear smaller and sharper against the Adriatic light, while waves nudge the hull and the sea dares you to look closer.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Solar exposure is intense on open water—use reef-safe sunscreen and reapply after swimming.
Wear non-slip shoes
Boarding a small boat requires footwear with grip; avoid flip-flops for safer loading and disembarking.
