About Mala Mara

Three brands. One crew. Every boat, every jet ski, every buggy is ours — and every guest is personal.

The Founder

Maro Slade

I grew up on the Dubrovnik coastline. Spent more time on the water than in a classroom. By the time I was old enough to get a boating licence, I already knew every cove between Cavtat and the Elaphiti Islands by feel rather than by name.

Mala Mara started as a single boat and one idea — that visitors to Dubrovnik deserved better than crowded ferries and impersonal group tours. Today I run three adventure brands under one roof: Jet Ski Rent Dubrovnik, Buggy Adventure Dubrovnik, and Raptor Dubrovnik — our premium speedboat. Same ownership, same standards, same crew.

When I am not running the business, I race — hill climb with AK Dubrovnik Racing, the most decorated motorsport club in Croatia. A Mitsubishi Evo X, mountain roads, and a clock that does not care about excuses. The precision that motorsport demands is exactly how we run every tour and every charter.

Our Fleet

Four Brands. One Standard.

Every vessel, every jet ski, every buggy is owned and maintained by us — nothing subcontracted, nothing rented from a third party. Maro built each brand from the ground up, and every operation runs under MALA MARA d.o.o.

How We Work

What You Actually Get

Our Equipment

Every boat, jet ski, and buggy is owned and maintained by us. Not rented from a third party, not subcontracted. Serviced daily.

Our People

Skippers, guides, and crew who grew up on this coast. They know every cave, every current, every restaurant worth arriving at by boat.

Your Schedule

Every tour is private. Want to stay longer at a swim stop? Change the route? Skip an island and find a cave instead? The day bends to fit you.

Direct Contact

You message us, we reply. No call centre, no automated system. WhatsApp, email, or phone — the person who answers is the person who runs the operation.
