Our story

Nearly three decades on the same waters.

It started in 1997 with a single boat and a love of the Adriatic. The Dubrovnik coastline was quieter then. Fewer cruise ships, fewer guests, the same impossibly clear blue. We knew the bays, the coves and the islands the way locals know their own streets.

Almost three decades on, the boats have multiplied, the team has grown, and the standards have only risen. Today we run a fleet of nine vessels: motor yachts, fast speedboats and spacious catamarans. We employ a tight, year-round crew of skippers, hostesses, drivers and an office team who answer your emails personally.

What has not changed is the family-run spirit. Every booking lands on a real desk. Every trip is planned around the people taking it. And every guest is treated like a friend we are about to spend a day with, because, by the end of it, that is exactly what happens.

We are based in Cavtat, twenty minutes south of Dubrovnik, with boarding points across the city: Cavtat, Lapad and ACI Marina Komolac. We hold an exclusive Booking Manager Golden Partner status, and a TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice award. The badges matter to us, but the reason we are still here is simpler: guests who come back, and the friends they bring with them.

What we stand for

Five things we will
never compromise on.

The values that guide every booking, every itinerary and every captain’s decision on the water.

Quality, never quantity

We turn bookings away if we can’t deliver the day we promised. A fully private experience, every single time.

Punctual, every time

Pick-ups on the minute. Captains briefed the night before. Itineraries that work with your ferry, flight or dinner reservation.

Safety, not negotiable

Modern boats with full safety equipment and regular inspections. Captains licensed for the routes they run, and a clear weather policy.

Honest pricing

No commission games, no hidden fees. The all-inclusive price you see is the all-inclusive price you pay.

The Adriatic, respected

Modern engines, slow speeds around marine reserves, no anchoring on Posidonia meadows. The coastline gave us a livelihood; we look after it.

A real human, every time

The phone gets answered. The email gets a reply within hours. The same office team you wrote to is the one who waves you off at the dock.

Meet the crew

The people behind
your day on the water.

A small, year-round team in Cavtat with a wider seasonal crew of skippers, hostesses and drivers across the summer months.

Borna Č.

Founder & Skipper

Started the company in 1997 with a single boat. Still on the water most days, captaining the Ferretti 591 that carries his name.

Marina K.

Operations Lead

Your first email lands on Marina’s desk. She builds your itinerary, books your transfer and makes sure every detail is right.

Luka P.

Senior Skipper

Twenty seasons on the Adriatic. Knows every cove between Cavtat and Korčula, and the best fish-grill on each of the Elaphitis.

Iva M.

Hostess & Concierge

Onboard hospitality, pre-trip provisioning, and the person who pre-arranges the birthday cake before you even ask.

Milestones

From one boat
to a fleet of nine.

A short history of how we got from a single rented vessel to the Dubrovnik fleet you can book today.

1997

The first boat

A single motor boat, a phone in the office and a printed brochure. The Dubrovnik coast was quieter, and the bays were ours.

2005

Cavtat headquarters

We moved into our office on Bogišićeva Tiha in Cavtat, where we still are today.

2014

The Ferretti 591 joins

Our flagship motor yacht, Borna I, becomes the centrepiece of the fleet and starts a wave of new arrivals.

2019

Booking Manager Golden Partner

We are recognised as an exclusive Golden Partner of Booking Manager, the industry’s leading charter platform.
