    We had an amazing boat day with Ivan! He showed us beautiful spots, hidden caves, and made sure we had a fantastic experience from start to finish. He also reserved a wonderful lunch for us where we enjoyed some of the best fresh fish. Ivan was great company, friendly, and made the whole day so much fun.

    What an absolutely unforgettable day! We booked a private boat tour with Ivan, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we stepped aboard his beautiful, spotless boat, Ivan made us feel incredibly welcome. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and an exceptional host throughout the entire day. His boat was immaculate! Felt like a dream Ivan took us around the stunning Elaphiti Islands, showing us breathtaking hidden coves, beautiful beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and incredible caves. We had the chance to swim, snorkel, dive into the most amazing spots, and even swim into caves every location was more spectacular than the last. The water was so clear it felt like paradise, and the scenery was simply unforgettable. Croatia was already beautiful, but this experience made me completely fall in love with the country. Even now, I am still amazed when I think back on our day on the water. If you’re visiting Dubrovnik , kalamota and looking for an unforgettable boat trip, I cannot recommend Ivan highly enough. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We made memories that will last a lifetime. We thorough loved our day and our conversations Thank you, Ivan, for such an incredible experience! We will definitely be back, and without a doubt, we will be booking with you again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! Kristina & jordon

    The day out at sea with Ivan was 100% the best part of our group's trip to Dubrovnik. I was looking for a private rental for my 30th birthday party with 8 guests in total, and the day was simply idyllic and everything you would want for a gorgeous day out at sea. Ivan was so warm, welcoming, and professional - and a quick responder to all my queries before booking! His boat was so clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed being able to connect our phones to blast some jams. He really made our group feel at home and took us to the most charming swimming spots and islands. Our group lunch on Lopud Island, reserved by Ivan, was delicious and our table right next to the water was stunning. If you're looking for an unforgettable day out on the water, Ivan is your guy! Thank you, Ivan, for our magical day. We'll be talking about it for years to come. Don't hesitate and book now!

    We had an absolutely amazing day on the boat with Ivan! From the very beginning, he tailored the trip completely to our preferences and made sure we could enjoy the day exactly the way we wanted. There was no strict schedule – we had the freedom to stop wherever we liked, jump into the water, swim, relax, and simply enjoy every moment. There were nine of us girls, and we felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time. Ivan was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We also loved that we could play our own music on the boat, which made the atmosphere even more fun and personal. It truly felt like our perfect private party on the water. Ivan created such a relaxed and positive vibe that everything felt effortless and special. It truly was our dream day in Dubrovnik and one of the absolute highlights of our trip. If you’re looking for a personalized boat tour with someone who genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable, we couldn’t recommend Ivan more. Thank you for an incredible experience!

    It was truly a fantastic trip. Ivan doesn't offer pre-packaged tours, but rather tailors his itineraries to each guest's individual needs. The recommended restaurant was truly fantastic, with great reservations. I highly recommend it. All in all, absolutely worth the price if you want a great trip.

    Had the best time out with Ivan, he collected us from our Hotel and even though we had a few hours of a thunderstorm to contend with, he made our day with dropping us off the boat for a coffee or 2, followed by the best lunch in Lopud which he recommended got us! The afternoon was beautiful and sunny and he created lasting family memories for us - highly recommend💯🙌

    This was the most amazing day of our 6 days holiday! Ivan made sure of that! He is really friendly and knows a lot about the islands. He took us to all of the good spots, including the Famous Lapad and ending at a very quite beautiful swimming area, with a cave. He even dropped us of at a harbour closet to our appartement. I would 100 percent recommend Ivan to everyone! This was a 10/10 experience.

    Boat tour with Ivan - highly recommended! We were fortunate enough to take a one-day boat tour with an incredibly friendly and pleasant skipper. From the very beginning, there was a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere on board. Our skipper was not only very professional but also a fantastic host who showed us some of the most beautiful corners of his country with great enthusiasm and knowledge – including beautiful bays, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking views. A special highlight was the lunch he organized for us. It was a culinary delight. Overall, it was a perfect day on the water – authentic, relaxed, and a complete success. We highly recommend this tour and would do it again anytime!

    Ivan was a great skipper for my family holiday. He went above and beyond for our two day rental. Communicate from the beginning could not be faulted. Ivan agreed to pick us up from a local jetty where we were staying. He recommended restaurants for us to eat and made reservations for us. Which being a restaurant owner myself were first class.If you are looking for a great experience look no further than Ivan.

    Our experience with Ivan was truly amazing, more than what we were expecting that we could get from a boat trip. Ivan was a really great host, customized the trip for us and made sure we got a really local experience accompanied with some personal stories from his own experiences with his friends. Additionally, he also gave us some great tips for things to explore & restaurants to try in Dubrovnik, really improved the rest of our journey in the city! Highly recommended!

    Day trip of dreams! Ivan was amazing throughout. If you want to experience Croatia from sea, and experience the wonderful coastline, Ivan shows you all the beautiful sights, and tells you about the area. Ivan took us to one of the most stunning parts of Croatia, lopud island and restaurant Obala, where we had the best fish. We snorkelled, sunbathed on the boat, it was so relaxing. Thank you Ivan for making our day so special. Lee & Lisa

    Our boat trip with Ivan has been the highlight of our holiday. His efficient communication, enthusiasm for the job, restaurant recommendation and pleasant company made our day a memorable one. He made multiple swim stops in beautiful locations with some of the clearest water we have ever seen, and provided snorkels for us to see the wildlife. The blue cave was amazing, as were all the other locations he showed us accompanied by plenty of interesting facts. It’s clear Ivan is knowledgable about the area and makes a positive skipper for what is a long day. Our group of 7 would recommend this experience to anyone wanting a day of swimming in crystal-clear waters, having a delicious local lunch, and learning about Croatia along the way. Thank you Ivan!

    Our trip with Ivan was nothing short of spectacular - Ivan is an absolute gentleman and looked after us extremely well. The condition of the boat was 5* and he knew all the great places to take us and was great fun to be with as well. He made the day for us and took us to a great restaurant and had reserved us the best table right by the water. He had a fully stocked fridge and made sure that we were well looked after. Ivan is a top skipper and we give him 5* - his boat was excellent and the tour was perfect. Thanks Ivan - we hope to see you again during our stay for another trip. Thanks Jim and Family

    The experience was incredible! IVAN was extremely helpful and honestly just did that extra effort to make us feel comfortable. He even had a JBL speaker to put your music while cruising. He took us to some secret spots without tourists and has snorkeling material. Laughs are guaranteed with Ivan :) Water, cocacolas, beer, wine… he has everything. We felt super safe with him, he knows all the spots and is a true sailor man. It was such a pleasure to meet him and actually get to know the surroundings with a local man that works ethically and safely rather than with an agency. The boat is his, but he will make sure you feel it is your boat for a day. THANK YOU SO MUCH IVAN.
