The Rent Boat Dubrovnik Journal: practical boating guides from Marina Frapa

Short, fact-checked articles written by the team that runs the boats — what the law says, what things cost and how a day on the water actually goes.

What the Journal covers

The Journal is where Rent Boat Dubrovnik publishes practical guides to a day on the water from Marina Frapa: which boats need no licence, how to plan the Elaphiti Islands, when the Koločep Blue Cave is at its brightest, what the weather means for your booking and what you save by booking direct.

Every article is written in-house by the direct-booking brand of Technic One d.o.o., and every price in it comes from the same price list that drives the booking page — currently from €150 for a half-day self-drive rental and from €15 per person for a shared tour (as of 5 October 2026). When a price or a rule changes, the article's "Updated" line changes with it, so the date at the top of each post tells you how fresh it is.

We keep the guides deliberately narrow: the Croatian no-licence rule for boats under 5 m with engines up to 5 kW, the order in which to visit Koločep and Lopud so the afternoon breeze is behind you on the way home, the midday window that lights the Blue Cave, and the plain arithmetic of marketplace commissions. For the official marine forecast we always point you to DHMZ (Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service), and for events, beaches and transport in the city itself to the Dubrovnik Tourist Board.
