Sail away from Dubrovnik into the sheltered folds of the Elaphite Islands on a private Cap Camarat 7.5 WA. The day is deliberately unhurried: small, inhabited islands, hidden reefs, pebble and sandy beaches, and crystal‑clear water set the pace while a local skipper tailors the route to your wishes—perfect for quiet escapes or special moments.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Island hopping to Koločep, Lopud and Šipan

The itinerary centers on the three main inhabited Elaphites—Koločep, Lopud and Šipan—where short cruises between islands leave most of the day for exploration rather than transit.

THE WATER

Swims, caves and crystal‑clear bays

Swim in striking sites such as the Blue Cave and the Green Cave, and drop anchor in hidden bays and pristine stretches of water for snorkeling and beach time.

THE EXPERIENCE

A private, tailored day with seaside lunch options

Onboard a private Cap Camarat, your skipper will tailor the day to your preferences and can pull into seaside spots for an optional lunch at authentic island restaurants—no strict schedule, just your pace.
