The Boat: A Mediterranean Icon
The two-deck ship is designed to maximize fun and sightseeing. Its classic Mediterranean style, coupled with comfortable seating and a spacious sundeck, creates a perfect setting for both relaxing and dancing. The main deck offers a lively vibe with commercial house beats, while the sundeck shifts the mood towards reggaeton and sunset chills. The captain’s cabin even allows adventurous souls to try steering the boat and DJ-ing—adding a playful twist to the evening.
Several reviewers mentioned how the boat itself contributed to the experience. “The boat has two floors with different music styles, both great, and the dance floor was the real deal,” said a traveler from Lebanon. On top of that, the fully stocked bar ensures you won’t have to go thirsty, and the two toilets on board keep comfort high during the busy night.
Starting point and timing
Meet at Dubrovnik TP LINE Ferry around 6:15 PM for check-in. Once onboard, the cruise begins with scenic views of Dubrovnik and the surrounding islands, lasting around two hours before reaching Kolocep for a swim stop. The timing is well-structured, giving plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, music, and water.
Scenic cruise and Blue Lagoon
The scenic cruise offers panoramic views of the Elaphiti Islands, Dubrovnik’s illuminated city walls, and the iconic bridge. It’s an energetic way to see the coastline while enjoying a cocktail or two. When the boat anchors at Blue Lagoon, you’ll get approximately an hour to swim and relax in what reviewers describe as a “water paradise” with crystal-clear waters.
One reviewer noted, “Jumping off the top of the boat at sunset into the blue sea was awesome.” It’s a highlight for many, especially those who love jumping, swimming, or just basking in the sun.
More Great Thing To Do NearbyMusic and Atmosphere
Each of the four music zones offers a different vibe. The main deck keeps the party alive with commercial house beats, while the sundeck switches to reggaeton, perfect for catching the sunset or cooling off. The captain’s cabin is a fun space where you can take turns driving the boat or DJing, adding an interactive element. The lower deck provides a chill-out zone for those who prefer a quieter environment but still want to be part of the celebration.
Reviewers consistently mention the DJ’s quality, with one saying, “The DJ kept the energy high all night,” and others appreciating the diversity of music styles.
