Dolphin-Watching Sunset Speedboat Tour with Drinks

Race into the open Adriatic aboard a sleek speedboat at golden hour, scanning the sea for bottlenose dolphins that frequent Rovinj's waters, all while Croatian prosecco is poured on deck. Sunsets here are legendary — add wild dolphins and it becomes unforgettable.

What to expect

Your English-speaking captain heads to the outer islands and open water where resident bottlenose dolphins are regularly spotted year-round. Cold drinks and Croatian sparkling wine are served as the sun descends toward the Lim Channel horizon. The boat's speed means you cover far more coastline — caves, hidden bays, sea arches — than any sailing tour. If dolphins appear, the captain cuts the engine and lets the pod approach on their own terms.

Good to know

Tours run approximately 2 hours, typically departing 2–3 hours before sunset — confirm timing against your all-aboard. Book at least a day ahead in high season. Bring a light jacket as speeds create a wind chill even on warm evenings.
