Dubrovnik sunset cruise, private 2-hour boat tour.

Our private Dubrovnik sunset cruise casts off about ninety minutes before the sun goes, because the departure time follows the sunset, not a timetable. Two hours on the water: the city walls turning from stone-grey to copper, one swim in a quiet cove, a glass of wine on the idle home.

Insider: In July the sun drops behind Lokrum, ask for the anchorage on the island's west side.

Have a question about the sunset cruise?

The most common questions guests ask before booking.

See all FAQs
What time does the sunset cruise leave in Dubrovnik?
The departure follows the sun, so it moves through the season, roughly 18:40 in May, 19:00 in June, 18:20 in August, 16:45 by October. Send your date and we send back the exact time for that week's sunset.
Can you swim on a Dubrovnik sunset cruise?
Yes, most cruises include one swim in a quiet cove before the light goes, with towels aboard. The evening water holds the day's heat and the blue is at its deepest.
Is a private sunset cruise worth it in Dubrovnik?
If you have one evening and no appetite for crowds, yes, the walls at golden hour from the water beat the same view from the cable car, and you're back for a late dinner.
What’s included?
Skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer and white wine, towels, SUP, snorkelling equipment, insurance and final cleaning. Free hotel transfer is also included.
Is it just the sunset, or do we swim too?
Both. Most cruises include a swim stop in a quiet cove before the light goes, then the sunset itself with a glass of wine. Prefer to skip the swim and stretch the cruise? Just say. Boarding is at Cavtat, Lapad or ACI Marina Komolac.
What time does the cruise start?
We time the cruise to the sunset on your date, in midsummer that means boarding around 7pm, earlier in spring and autumn. We confirm the exact time when you book.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, it’s a calm, short evening on the water and a favourite with families. Soft drinks and snacks for kids are on board.
