The short answer

Do you need a licence to rent a boat in Dubrovnik?

Not with us. Every My Dream rental comes with Captain Željko, a licensed Category B skipper, so nobody in your group needs a boating licence. You choose how long you want the boat and where you would like to go, and I take care of the rest.

How boat hire with a skipper works

Booking a boat with a skipper is simpler than renting one to drive yourself. You pick the length and the date, we meet at the harbour, and the boat is ready with drinks on board. You can pay securely online, or book now and pay on the boat if your plans are still flexible.

  • Pick 2, 4 or 8 hours and your date
  • Choose a route, or ask me to plan one for your group
  • Meet me at Lapad or Gruž harbour
  • Swim, snorkel and relax while I drive

Why rent with a skipper instead of driving yourself?

The coast around Dubrovnik is full of hidden bays, caves and small harbours that are easy to miss if you do not know them. With a local skipper you spend the day in the best places instead of reading charts, and everyone in the group can relax, swim and have a drink.

You also skip the paperwork: no licence to show, no fuel to work out at the end of the day. The price is fixed per boat before you set off.

Where you can go with a 2, 4 or 8-hour rental

Two hours is enough to swim into the Blue Cave on Koločep, cruise along the Old Town walls and Lokrum, or watch the sunset from the water. Four hours takes you to Koločep and Lopud on the Elafiti Islands, with time on Šunj, the sandy beach. With eight hours you can add Šipan and stop for lunch ashore.
