Leave Dubrovnik for a private speedboat day on the Adriatic to Mljet. Swim Saplunara, choose between the island’s National Park and Odysseus Cave, and explore secluded bays with a skipper at your service.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from the marina in the hush before high summer—engine notes rising, spray tasting of salt—and the coastline of Dubrovnik slips aft like a memory. The Leader 30 eats distance quickly; pine-streaked islets and pale limestone cliffs stitch the horizon as the Elaphiti and Mljet channels dare you to look farther. By mid-morning the boat drops anchor off Saplunara’s sand and the Adriatic pulls you into clear, shallow water.

Conservation

Bring cash for fuel surcharge
Fuel surcharge (approx. €250–€350) is typically paid at the end of the tour—bring cash or confirm card payment with the operator.
Wear water shoes
Many landings are rocky or pebbled; water shoes protect feet and make entering/exiting the boat easier.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
The Adriatic’s clear water is sensitive—use biodegradable sunscreen to protect marine life in shallow snorkeling spots.
Plan your National Park visit
If you want to see the monastery on St. Mary’s island, allocate the 3-hour park window rather than visiting both park and cave.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel
Required for swimming and snorkeling stops; quick-dry fabric is convenient on board.
