Private Adriatic Day: Lokrum and the Elafiti Aboard a Beneteau Flyer 650 SD.
Step aboard a private Beneteau Flyer 650 SD in Dubrovnik and spend eight unhurried hours skimming the Adriatic to secluded coves, glowing sea caves and a rare sandy shore. The day is shaped around you: a local skipper reads the light and the tide while you choose when to swim, snorkel, explore a monastery cloister or simply drift in silence.
