BEFORE YOU BOOK

Know What To Expect Before Your Morning At Sea.

A morning on the water is shaped by wildlife, weather and sea conditions. Here are the important things to know before booking your Boatman Lovina experience.

THE SHORT VERSION

Boat
Private for your group
Duration
Around 4–5 hours
Meeting
Lovina Beach
Details
Confirmed via WhatsApp

01

Private for your group. Not a private sea.

Your booking reserves the boat for your group. You are not joining a shared departure with other guests.

The sea itself is shared, however. Other boats may also be watching dolphins that morning.

02

Plan for around 4–5 hours.

There is no fixed finish time. The actual duration depends on the dolphins, sea and weather conditions, the activities included, and when your group feels the experience is complete.

Some trips may finish in around 3–4 hours. Others may take 5 hours or occasionally longer.

GOOD TO KNOW

The experience matters more than keeping the boat at sea simply to reach an exact number of hours.

03

Wildlife sets the conditions.

Dolphins are wild animals, so their exact location and movement cannot be guaranteed.

When conditions allow, your captain is prepared to spend more time searching and travel farther rather than ending the trip simply because the dolphins are more difficult to find that morning.

04

Conditions first. Briefing first.

The in-water dolphin experience is included when sea conditions and the captain’s judgment allow.

Before entering the water, the captain explains the procedure, where to hold, and the signals to use if assistance is needed.

PARTICIPATION Up to 2 guests at a time
AGE Teenage guests & adults
EQUIPMENT Snorkeling masks provided
IF CONDITIONS CHANGE The dolphin trip continues without the in-water session

05

More than dolphin watching.

01

Snorkeling

Snorkeling is included in the Private Dolphin Experience. Equipment is prepared for guests, and the captain explains the activity before entering the water.

02

Simple Local Breakfast

Coffee or tea with banana fritters is included. If you prefer a larger meal, plan it around your confirmed departure time.

06

The captain decides when conditions are not suitable.

If the captain considers the weather, waves or sea conditions unsuitable for departure, the boat will not go out.

Safety and conditions at sea take priority over maintaining a fixed schedule.

07

Flexible, then confirmed directly.

Private bookings allow flexibility in departure time. Your exact starting time will be confirmed directly with you before the trip.

08

Clear instructions before the activity.

Life jackets are available aboard the boat. The captain provides a trip briefing before departure and explains relevant procedures before any in-water activity.

09

Lovina Beach.

The exact meeting location and arrival instructions will be sent through WhatsApp after your booking details are confirmed.

10

Keep it simple.

  • Sunscreen
  • Hat
  • Camera or phone
  • Comfortable light clothing
  • A dry layer or change of clothes
