Background: Hi, I'm Matija The sea is not just my job — it's my way of life. For the last 17 years, I've been lucky enough to turn my passion for boats, the Adriatic, and hidden island gems into unforgettable adventures for my guests. I love sharing local stories, showing secret spots you won't find in guidebooks, and making sure every moment you spend on the water is relaxed, fun, and tailored just for you. Hop on board and let's create memories you'll be talking about long after your holiday ends!

8 Hour – Elaphite Islands

Perfect Escape from the Crowds – A Magical Day on the Elaphite Islands!

This tour was everything we hoped for and more. We wanted to get away from the busy crowds and the stress of New York, and Captain Matija understood exactly what we needed. Even in the peak of the season, he knew how to avoid the busy spots and took us to a hidden cove where we spent hours swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the peace and quiet. The landscape was absolutely stunning — crystal-clear water, untouched nature, and total tranquility. It felt like we had our own private... More

4 Hr – Elaphiti Islands Highlights

Perfect Family Day at the Elaphite Islands

We spent an amazing full day exploring the Elaphite Islands with our family of four, and it couldn’t have been better! Our kids especially loved the beautiful sandy beach at Šunj — perfect for swimming and playing — and snorkeling in the stunning Blue Caves was a real highlight. When we got hungry after all the swimming and fun, Captain Matija recommended a fantastic local restaurant where we had an incredible lunch. The day was perfectly organized, relaxing, and full...

We had an amazing day on the boat with skipper Tom. He was knowledgeable and accommodating and very laid back. His suggestions to stop on Lopud and explore a bit before swimming/paddleboarding/snorkeling and even spelunking was great. I Highly recommend Explore Dubrovnik and Skipper Tom!

The boat trip was a highlight of our Dubrovnik trip. From the helpful and responsive communication with Matija to the easy and relaxed Captain Tom who expertly navigated our boat around the beautiful bays and found us secluded and quite swim spots away from the crowds. We loved every minute.

Unforgettable Elaphite Islands Half-Day Tour with Matija

I honestly can’t describe this day any other way than perfect! We did a half-day tour of the Elaphite Islands, and I can truly say that Captain Matija made it absolutely unforgettable. Professional, friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable – from the very first moment, we felt safe, relaxed, and in great hands. Matija knows all the hidden coves, the most beautiful beaches, and the best local stories. He took us away from the crowds to places that looked like something out of a postcard. The... More
