The Experience

The boat cuts loose from the quay and Dubrovnik’s stone roofs recede; the wind pushes you out into a corridor of blue, the sea daring you to learn its rhythms. Captain Srđan, a lifetime on these waters, moves with quiet efficiency — baiting hooks, explaining the lines, pointing to the low islands where currents pile up plankton and fish gather.

Before You Go

Watch the forecast

Adriatic conditions change quickly — check wind and swell before booking and bring motion-sickness remedies if prone to seasickness.

Non-slip footwear

Decks can be wet and slippery; wear closed, grippy shoes to fish safely and move around the boat.

Sun protection

Even on breezy mornings sun reflects off the water — use SPF, sunglasses with straps and a brimmed hat.

Bring ID and documents

Bookings may require passport details; carry ID and any required permits or medical info.
