Board the Galleon Tirena at Dubrovnik’s Old Town port for a 1.5-hour sunset sail.

The drinks at sunset, while sailing around the ruins and the islands was relaxing. The live show was a bit hard to hear at times because of their sound system, but was enjoyable without being rowdy and intrusive if you just wanted to chill out. Overall, I would highly recommend.”
