Private Beneteau Day: Six Hours Chasing the Elafiti’s Caves, Beaches and Hidden Bays.
On a private Beneteau Flyer 650 SD, the 6 Hours Elafiti Islands Tour hands you the map and the throttle: a skipper is aboard to offer suggestions, but every stop is chosen by you. With the islands clustered close to Dubrovnik, the day is built around swimming, snorkeling, exploring caves and small beaches, and lingering over an island lunch if you like—privacy and flexibility are the point.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Island-hopping the Elafiti — Koločep, Lopud and Šipan
The cruise visits the three main Elaphite islands—Koločep, Lopud and Šipan—so you can island-hop between pebble and sandy beaches and seek out quiet bays without long transits between stops.
Caves, hidden bays and crystal-clear swimming
Swim and snorkel in clear Adriatic water and visit dramatic sea caves listed on the route—highlights include stops at both the Blue Cave and the Green Cave and many tucked-away bays.
Private comfort and a day tailored to you
A private boat means personal freedom: your skipper can recommend anchors and restaurants, but you determine the pace—swim, relax on beaches such as Šunj, or pause for an island meal.
What the day feels like
What Six Hours Feels Like
The day is relaxed and customizable: after boarding you move between close-by islands, dropping anchor in coves for swims and snorkeling, slipping into sea caves when conditions allow, and tying up at a seaside restaurant for an optional island lunch. The skipper handles the boat and offers local suggestions while you set the agenda—there’s no strict timetable beyond the six-hour charter.
