Amazing way to see Hvar and the surrounding waters. Our guide Franko was great and the entire experience is great for both families and discerning travellers. Apart from the outdoors and swim spots, the stopovers in a local winery and seafood restaurant were very meaningful. Will definitely recommend to our friends and family.

Franco is one of the best skippers and guides that we have had and made our boat tour day very memorable. He took us to secret spots and a beautiful lunch spot (which had an underwater cellar!) and we had such a fun time - could not recommend more!

Such a great tour! The islands and red rocks are beautiful. There’s opportunities to cliff jump and dive in the caves if you’d like. Marko was a great skipper and was very helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely will be recommending.

Speedboat with swimming and lunch

Rebecca_W, Jun 2025
This was a wonderful trip. Franko was an excellent skipper and guide. We saw every amazing sight and had a great time swimming. He also got us into a great restaurant that is only accessible by boat. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Glad to hear you had such a fantastic trip! Franco sounds like the perfect guide, making it a memorable experience. Thanks for the recommendation!

Amazing day on the water with an excellent local guide!

David_E, Jun 2025
This was our second boat day on our vacation, but the experience made it feel like our first. Franco was wonderful in arranging transportation from our hotel and greeting us with a huge smile. His boat is clean, comfortable and very easy to enjoy. Franco was extremely attentive and often checked in to make sure we were comfortable enjoying ourselves. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy each location. He knew all the PERFECT swimming and viewing places, each one was better than the last. He took us to a delicious lunch spot and capped off our day at a private beach. Our family of 6 ranges from 20 year olds to 13, and everyone loved Franco. This should be af the top of your Hvar list of things to do!!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear your family had such a great time with Franco—he truly loves what he does. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day on the water!

Best day - highly recommend

Lucy_S, Aug 2024
Wonderful day made so by Marco. Took such great care of us and in particular was really lovely to my 3 children. Helping them with fishing, chatting to them and giving them a ball to play with. Took us to amazing spots with such clear water and made an incredible lunch reservation. Highly recommend this trip. Highlight of our holiday

Thank you Lucy for visiting us. Best wishes from Antonio rent team

Lunch at the wonderful beach Laganini

PATRICK_L, Jul 2024
We had a wonderful tour thanks to our skipper Marko. For lunch, we hade a table at Laganini Beach. This is one of the most beautiful places I visited and reminds me at the beaches at St. Tropez. Be sure to make your reservation in time.

Thank you Patricia for visiting us. Best wishes from Antonio rent team

Highlight of our trip to Hvar!

Stephen_G, Jul 2024
This private tour was the highlight of our entire trip in Hvar. It is a MUST in my opinion to do this if you are visiting Hvar. Our skipper Marko was a Hvar local and knew everyone and everything. He was such a joy to be around and made the whole day stress free and enjoyable. He goes wherever you like and gives you the freedom to customize your day. Can’t say enough good things. My wife and I did this together, but the boat could definitely fit 5-6 comfortably. Anything more than that would be a bit tight - just and FYI if you have a large group.

Thank you Stephanie for visiting us. Best wishes from Antonio rent team

Fantastic Way to Spend the Day!

Best Money I’ve Ever Spent

Anna_M, Aug 2023
This was the HIGHLIGHT of my entire trip!!!! Antonio’s boat rental is super close to the cruise port and easy to find. We got there a bit early and met our AMAZING skipper Marco. The boat was beautiful with plenty of space to be comfortable. Marco provided ice and a large cooler to store all our drinks and snacks. The boat had everything—a Bluetooth speaker to connect to, cups for our drinks, and snorkeling googles and an underwater flashlight for exploring the caves. We were brought to some of the most amazing locations to swim and explore. Marco was laid back and was down to tailor the experience to anything we wanted. Nothing felt rushed and we just had the most amazing time. Marco even took drone photos and videos of us swimming/cliff jumping/etc which was SUCH an amazing touch. Everything about this was perfect. 10/10 recommend
