Full day trip to the Elafiti islands with Atlantic ALL INCLUDED

Private boat days change the whole rhythm of the Adriatic. This Atlantic all included trip runs about 8 hours and takes you around the Elafiti islands on a 23-foot Jeanneau, with drinks onboard.

Two things I really like: you go out on a small, private boat (up to 7 people), and the day includes snorkeling gear, not just a casual cruise. One thing to consider, it depends on good weather, so if the sea is rough, your comfort level may change.

Key highlights you should know

• Private 7-person boat: Small group feel, not a crowded ferry day
• Jeanneau Cap Camarat 755 WA: 23-foot power for a smooth, efficient outing
• All included drinks: You can relax without surprise add-ons
• Snorkeling gear included: You have the equipment for water time
• Dubrovnik-born staff: A local team that knows the area
• Pickup possible near your stay: Boat pickup in the Dubrovnik area close to where you are staying

The value of a 7-meter Jeanneau for Elafiti Island time

You get one of the best perks of Dubrovnik boating: you are not stuck in cruise-ship schedules. A private motorboat on the Adriatic is simply more flexible. The boat listed here is a 23-foot Jeanneau Cap Camarat 755 WA, which is a practical size for island cruising. Big enough to feel like a real day on the water, small enough to keep things personal.

With capacity up to seven, you also avoid the usual problem with popular coastal outings: standing elbow-to-elbow while everyone tries to get a photo at once. In a group that size, you can actually talk, share the good viewpoints, and move around the boat without feeling like you are in a moving waiting room.

Another value point is the style of the day. The tour is set up around enjoying the water, not treating the islands like a checklist. That matters on a full-day trip, because you want time to breathe, cool off, and go where the day feels right.

Timing and meeting points: Port Gruž at 10:00, with pickup nearby

The tour starts at 10:00 am at Port Gruž, Obala Ivana Pavla II 13, Dubrovnik. The good part is that it returns you to the same meeting point, so you are not scrambling to figure out how to get back after you are done.

Even better, pickup is offered by boat in the Dubrovnik area near your accommodation. That can be a real time-saver if you are staying somewhere a bit off the main promenade and do not want to drag bags, sunscreen, and swimwear across town on a schedule.

The tour is marked as near public transportation and includes a mobile ticket. So if you prefer to get yourself there and not rely on pickup, you still have a straightforward option.

Also worth noting: this is scheduled as an 8-hour day. That sounds long until you are on the water. Once you are cruising, time passes quickly, and the extra hours help you enjoy the islands without feeling rushed.

What all included really means: drinks plus snorkeling gear

For me, the best “all included” trips are the ones that remove friction. Here, the big friction reducers are drinks included and snorkeling gear included. That tells you the experience is built for actual downtime and actual water time, not just scenic transit.

Snorkeling gear included is especially useful on island trips. It means you are not hunting around for rentals at the last minute, and you can plan your day around a swim when conditions are right. Even if you are not a hardcore snorkeler, having the kit means you can try it without turning the day into errands.

Drinks onboard also keep things comfortable. On a full day in the sun, hydration becomes part of the plan, not an afterthought. It is a simple inclusion, but it makes the boat portion feel more like a vacation day and less like a transport service.

One practical note: snorkeling and swimming depend on the water and weather that day. Since the tour requires good weather, you are more likely to get the conditions needed for a proper use of that snorkeling gear.

The Elafiti Islands day plan: cruising time, island time, and flexible water moments

The core of the trip is visiting the Elafiti islands on board the private motorboat. The exact island sequence is not spelled out in the details you shared, but the structure is clear: you leave Dubrovnik, spend your time out around the island group, and return after a full day on the water.

Here is how to think about it, and what you should watch for.

Cruise time is the point. On the Elafiti route, the views from the water can be your favorite part, because you are seeing coastline from a perspective you cannot get from land. On a smaller boat, you often get room to get to the best side of the boat for photos and shade.

Island time is about pace. This is a private outing for up to seven people, so your day is less about lining up and more about enjoying breaks in the schedule. That is usually the sweet spot for people who want a calm, scenic day rather than a strict tour tempo.

Water time should be planned, not rushed. Since snorkeling gear is included, you should go into the day expecting at least one real water moment. Bring swimwear you can put on fast, and consider water-friendly shoes if you prefer traction when stepping around uneven surfaces.

I also like the way the day is framed by the small-group setup. When you are not surrounded by a big crowd, your island time often feels less stressful. You can just enjoy being outside, on a boat, without constantly checking where everyone else is.

One more detail from the experience vibe: the trip tends to work really well when the conditions are calmer. The rating and repeat enthusiasm match that kind of day, when the boat ride feels easy and the islands feel relaxed rather than choppy.

Your crew: a Dubrovnik-born local team

A small but meaningful detail is that the staff are born in Dubrovnik. That matters more than people think. When the people running your day are local, they usually have a better instinct for what is comfortable, where the ride feels smoothest, and how to pace the day so you actually enjoy it.

The tour provider is listed as Dubrovnik explore, and the experience runs in English. So communication should be straightforward, and you can ask practical questions about what to watch for on the water.

In short: this is not an anonymous service. It is a local business setup, built around a personal day on the Adriatic.

Who should book this private Elafiti islands trip

This tour fits best if you want a day that feels like time on the water first, sightseeing second. It also suits travelers who care about comfort and control over the schedule.

You will likely love it if:

• You are traveling as a couple or small group of friends and want a private boat rather than a shared tour
• You like the idea of having snorkeling gear included so you can actually use the water time
• You want a relaxed pace on a full day, with drinks included onboard
• You prefer pickup options near your accommodation to reduce travel hassle

It may not be the best fit if:

• You are extremely sensitive to sea conditions and do not want to risk a weather-dependent outing
• You are trying to keep costs as low as possible, because this is priced per group, not per person in a mass-transport way

The experience is also marked as most travelers can participate. So unless you have a specific physical concern related to boat riding, it should be accessible for many visitors.

Price check: $866.96 per group, and how to judge the value

At $866.96 per group (up to 7), the price sounds high until you break it down the right way. This is not a per-person ferry price. It is a private boat day, and the inclusions are doing real work here.

Think of what you are buying:

• A private 23-foot Jeanneau experience for up to seven
• Drinks included
• Snorkeling gear included
• An 8-hour day that includes time to enjoy the island group, not just transit
• Pickup offered by boat in the Dubrovnik area near your accommodation

For a group, that can start to feel reasonable compared to cobbling together separate costs like boat rentals, gear rentals, and paid add-ons. If you are traveling solo or as a couple, it is still a premium day, but it can be worth it if you want the privacy and the water time to be the main event.

One extra planning clue: it is booked on average 39 days in advance. That suggests the slots can fill, especially around good weather windows. If your trip dates are set, I would not wait until the last week to book.

Ratings that match the style of day

This experience has a 4.9 rating with 10 reviews, and it is listed as recommended by 100%. The theme in the enthusiasm is simple: people love the private boat setup and the quality of the guide.

If you care about a smoothly run day, those signals matter. Private tours can vary a lot by how organized the crew is, how they handle the flow of time onboard, and whether they can keep the experience comfortable. A strong rating is a sign the day tends to land well, not just on paper.

Final verdict: should you book Atlantic all included?

I would book this if you want an Elafiti day that feels like a proper outing, not a crowded schedule. The combination of a small private boat, drinks included, and snorkeling gear included is what makes it feel like value, not just a “nice boat ride.”

Book it if:

• Your group size is close to the top end, because the per-person value improves
• You want water time and flexibility, not an overly rigid itinerary
• You are ready for a weather-dependent day and you can plan around it

Skip it if:

• You hate any chance of rough conditions and you do not want weather-based changes
• You mainly want a cheap, straightforward hop-to-islands day

If you are in Dubrovnik with a few days where the forecast looks promising, this is exactly the kind of experience that turns a normal day off into one of those long, sun-soaked memories you can talk about for years.
