5.00We spent an amazing day with Frano sailing around the Elafiti Islands. His sailboat is beautiful and spacious and you can feel confident with Captain Frano’s mariner skills! What a perfect way to relax and enjoy the beauty of Croatia’s coast, islands and crystal clear water. We are already looking forward to our next trip!
A Perfect Trip. Highly Recommendable!!!

5.00The sailing trip with Frano was just great. He is very knowledgeable about the region and history and (and of course sailing). Great lunch and wine tasting.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Day of Our Trip — Hands Down. Get out on THIS Sailboat with Captain Franco

5.00We booked a full-day, multi-island sailing tour with Dubrovnik Sailing Tours, and it ended up being the highlight of our entire trip. Captain Frano is exceptional. You can immediately tell how much pride he takes in both his boat and the experience he creates. He struck the perfect balance of being attentive and informative while still giving us space to fully relax and enjoy the day. The itinerary was beautiful and well-paced — we explored the Elaphiti Islands, swam in crystal-clear water, visited stunning beaches like Šunj, and had time to wander charming villages. Nothing felt rushed. It felt curated. The boat itself was spotless and comfortable, with plenty of space to lounge, take in the views, and truly unwind. Sailing between islands with that Adriatic backdrop was unreal. What made this experience stand out was the feeling — it wasn’t just a tour, it felt like being out on the water with someone who genuinely loves what they do and wants you to have an unforgettable day. If you’re even considering a boat day in Dubrovnik, book this. No question. We would do it again in a heartbeat.
Treat yourself to a Private Yacht experience with Frano!

5.00Just had a beautiful half day boat tour with Captain Frano around the islands off Dubrovnik. We were treated to drinks, nibbles and his incredible knowledge of sailing the seas here and abroad. He kept us entertained with local historic and cultural info. Frank is a superb host and we can’t think of a better way to see this beautiful coastline in such a fun way!
Great sailing with captain Frano!

5.00It was captain Frano’s first trip of the season and ended up just being my wife and me. Beautiful new sailboat, two heads, lots of room topside and below. We sailed to two islands, electing to skip the nearby third island so that we could have more sailing time. It’s pretty magical when the engine is shut off and it’s just the wind. Our captain is very experienced having been First Officer on Princess cruise ships. He was very personable, shared history and stories, and prepared an excellent tray of snacks and wine. Frano booked a lunch reservation for us for the only open restaurant in an island and it was excellent. Such a great time, reasonable cost, great captain, beautiful boat.

5.00Excellent day sailing with our very experienced and interesting Captain - Frano. Rain in the morning, but the boat was well protected with a canopy over the seating area and the cabin always available if wanted. We had plenty of time at each of our island stops. Note that as the end of the season (11/1) nears, more establishments will be closed but we still found a good reception. Midday through afternoon, favorable weather and smooth sailing. Highlight of our trip was Captain Frano - very experienced, capable sailor; very knowledgeable about area history and island lore and an interesting conversationalist. Superb way to spend the day.
Unforgettable cruise to Dubrovnik

5.00We (my daughter, my wife and I) have booked a day sailing with Frano (Francois in French) from Marina Frapa Dubrovnik, for the best spots around Dubrovnik, the most beautiful beaches, Kalamota Island, Šunj Beach (island of Lopud) fine sand magnification by the way even the big yachts stop there (great). Then we had lunch in the bays of Otok Lopud Beach where the stars (Shaquille Michael Jordan, David Beckham, Michael Jordan...) go in the restaurant Obala, you choose your fish and a super cook prepares it for you (delicious). The trip on the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 380 was an intense and unforgettable sailing experience. Frano is super nice skipper and great very good teacher, we had lunch with him a really nice guy! Well I stop there because there is enough to make novel. We really recommend. Promised the next holiday in Dubrovnik we will do a sailing with Frano.
Sublime day on the Adriatic Sea…

He is highly experienced and has a safety first mindset, but is also very laidback, easy going and accommodating, making him the perfect choice for your day on the water.When we come back, we will definitely do it again. Thank You Captain!
A wonderful half day sailing experience at an affordable price.

5.00A brilliant day. Thank you Frano. Just what we wanted - a half day on a sail boat around the beautiful islands and a chance to swim in the lovely warm clear water. Despite there not being much wind we did make some of our journey under sail and experienced that peaceful silence punctuated only by the lap of the water as we moved along. Highly recommended.
Fabulous experience - highly recommended

5.00We had a half day trip with Frano on his beautiful new boat and it was a fantastic day out. The boat is well equipped, spacious and clean. Frano provides drinks, beach towels and snorkel gear. Unlike so many other tours around here, there is the chance to actually sail under just windpower, through the gorgeous waters of the Adriatic. Frano is friendly and accommodating to all your needs, and is an excellent skipper. For a private tour, his charges are very reasonable but small groups tours are also available. Could not recommend this tour highly enough.
