Thursday 16th June and we were booked on a Catamaran Sunset Cruise. We booked the tour via the Tui Rep at our hotel, Tui Blue Kalamato Island, Kolocep.
The tour started when we left Kolocep Harbour at 16.30 and sailed to Gruž Port Dubrovnik at 17.15. It was here that we boarded our catamaran, Seagull 30, which left the Port at 17.30.
As we sailed along the coast from Gruž to the Old Port of Dubrovnik our Guide Dee Dee pointed out the landmarks, points of interest and history along the way. The Crew were on hand to provide us with beers etc.
In the Old Port we sailed by St John's Fort, Maratime Museum, City Wall Entrance, Ploce Gate and some much more. We could also see part of the iconic Bell Tower in the Town.
While we were the Old Port we saw Karaka, the replica 16th Century galleon. It was an impressive sight to see it sail out of the Port past St John's Fort.
From the Old Port we sailed around Lokrum Island. Drinks and snacks were served as we sailed in the direction of Kolocep, we did pass a few smaller islands. One of them had a rather exclusive and expensive Hotel on it.
The catamaran moored up off the coast of Kolocep where we watched the sunset and disappear behind the Island as we drank champagne.
The tour ended when we were dropped back at Kolocep Harbour at about 20.15.
It was a most enjoyable experience as we gently sailed around with our knowledgeable Guide, friendly crew, lots of drinks and snacks and ended with a beautiful sunset.
