Fort Lovrijenac
As you glide along Dubrovnik’s western shoreline, a solitary fortress rises dramatically from the cliffs, Lovrijenac, standing guard above the Adriatic.
Built to defend the city from the sea, this imposing stronghold has watched over Dubrovnik for centuries. From the water, its position feels almost unreal—perched high on rugged rock, with waves crashing far below and the city walls stretching out behind it.
Often called Dubrovnik’s “Gibraltar,” Lovrijenac is a symbol of the city’s independence and resilience. Today, beyond its historic role, it has become a stage for culture and storytelling, most famously during the Dubrovnik Summer Festival.
Passing beneath it by boat offers a powerful perspective—one that reveals both the strength and beauty of Dubrovnik, where history and landscape come together in a truly unforgettable way.
3
Lokrum Island
As we glide across the open water, you’ll pass by the lush and mysterious Lokrum Island—a protected nature reserve rich in history, legends, and untouched beauty. From the sea, you’ll enjoy one of the most stunning perspectives of the island’s cliffs, forests, and hidden coves.
We’ll also share stories about life along this coastline and the nearby southern islands of Croatia—some of the most remote and sun-soaked parts of the country, where the Adriatic feels wild, peaceful, and timeless.

St Jacobs beach
St. Jacob Beach (Sveti Jakov) is one of Dubrovnik’s most beautiful and secluded beaches, tucked just beyond the eastern edge of the Old Town. Accessible primarily by sea or via a long staircase from above, it offers a more peaceful and refined atmosphere compared to the city’s busier shoreline.
Arriving by boat from the Old Port reveals the beach at its most striking, framed by dramatic cliffs, with uninterrupted views of Lokrum Island and the iconic walls of Dubrovnik rising in the distance.
The setting feels both intimate and cinematic, making it a perfect stop along a coastal journey. The perfect break, whether for a swim stop, a scenic pause, or a moment to take in Dubrovnik from a different perspective.

Old Town
As we return toward the Old Town, take in the impressive medieval city walls from the sea, a truly unique perspective.
We arrive back at the historic Old Port, once the starting point for local fishermen who would head out each morning and evening in search of the day’s catch aboard traditional boats like this one.
After the experience, enjoy the rest of your day exploring the vibrant Old Town of Dubrovnik, perhaps now with a touch of local spirit.
