What an absolutely beautiful day! Our Boat Operator was the very best! He took us to Blue Caves first so that there would be no lineups and we could swim more during the day. His presentation at every stop gave you some history and some ideas to enjoy while we were docked. All the Islands were fantastic, but the swimming was incredible! I would highly recommend it!! Worth every cent!

Absolutely awesome day on the water visiting multiple islands of Croatia and loving every minute of it! Frankie was such an incredible guide and expert boat driver. He plays the best music for the entire trip. He was so informative, personable, and accommodate into anyone’s needs on the boat. I read the reviews before booking this trip and I’m glad I did.. Having a shaded boat with the comfortable seats they offered on this boat would be the only way I would want to go on this excursion. Definitely book it, and you will not regret it! Thank you so much, Frankie!

One of the best tours we have ever done! What an incredible experience. Highly recommend to anyone who is considering it. We had Frankie as our tour guide/skipper, he was incredible at making the ride as smooth and comfortable as possible. He was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained for the journey. Absolutely loved it! Definitely made our trip. Thank you so much for a great day Frankie!

Had a great trip with Franky! Showed us different parts of the islands. Also, we were lucky to get in early to the Blue Cave. If you’re going to take a speedboat trip, this is the one to do. We didn’t see another company with a roof and seats as comfortable.

Duje was our skipper. He did an amazing job. He was very friendly esp to our 7 yr old kid. We had an amazing time and he explained alot of things in the islands and some bays. The tour was really good! It was a whole day of exploring. Highly recommend!
Donna_W, Aug 2026
This was a great trip. The guide was fun and friendly, and we saw great things. I wouldn’t recommend the trip for snorkeling though but that’s not their fault. The fish here aren’t as plenty and interesting as in Hawaii or the Great Barrier Reef. But the crew really took care of us and it was a comfortable ride. I would recommend them without hesitation.
Amy_A, Aug 2026
It was a fun day! Frankie was amazing! We had a great day going different islands and blue cave. He explained everything to us very clearly
Liz_M, Aug 2026
Excellent excursion. Frankie was an excellent tour guide. Played great music, explained all the history of the islands and gave ample time at each location. He was very skilled in driving the boat which made us all feel very comfortable.

Best experience we had during our one week visit in Croatia. We are a family of four with kids 15 and 11, we all had a blast on the speedboat and the swimming locations. Frankie was our captain and he was great especially with the music selection that matched the vibe of the speedboat. We always felt safe. We did not visit the Blue Cave due to high current but visited a beautiful beach instead which one of the best beaches I have ever visited. Highly recommend!
EmileAnthony_G, Aug 2026
It was a wonderful experience. The guide was very friendly and has a great knowledge.
I highly recommend this tour!

The trip in itself was absolutely brilliant, All of the locations were awesome in our skipper Mateo was absolutely awesome. 10 out of 10 cannot fault it
We did have a choppy day out on the water and it was generally pretty rough but we made the most out of that and still had an amazing time. We would happily head back out again, hopefully in better conditions next time

We booked the Blue Cave & Hvar 5 Islands Speedboat tour out of Split, and it's hands-down one of the best excursions I've ever done on any trip, anywhere. That's saying something, since I've traveled across five continents and this one still stands out.
The day was packed. We started at the Blue Cave on Bisevo, timing our arrival perfectly to catch the sunlight reflecting through the water. It's every bit as magical as the photos promise. From there we wandered Komiza, the sleepy little harbor town where Mamma Mia was filmed, before a quick stop at the old WWII military bunkers at Raketna Baza Stupisce, a strange and fascinating detour I wouldn't have found on my own.
We cruised past Stiniva Cove (voted Europe's best beach) for the views, then dropped anchor at Budikovac Island for a long, unhurried swim in a lagoon so turquoise it barely looks real, with snorkeling included. After passing the Pakleni Islands, we ended the day in the town of Hvar itself, with just enough time for lunch, a swim, some wandering through the old walls, and a little shopping before heading back.
Honestly, there's no way we could have fit this much into a single day on our own. The logistics alone would've eaten half our time. Captain Caca made it effortless. He was fantastic, genuinely funny, clearly knew every cove and hidden spot worth stopping at, and ran the whole day without it ever feeling rushed.
If you're trying to decide between doing Croatia's islands on your own or booking a guided speedboat day, book the boat. Hopefully you get Caca as your skipper!

What an awesome day! This was truly the highlight of a 2 week Croatian trip.
Franky was a great skipper, super knowledgeable and even gave us an extra 1 hour stop as the blue cave didn’t open until a bit later in the morning. Once the blue cave opened, Franky made sure we were organized so we didn’t wait for than 5 minutes to transfer boats.
The itinerary for the day was well planned and we had plenty of time to swim (sand beach and the blue lagoon) as well as tour and eat breakfast and lunch. Hvar was definitely a highlight and there were tons of fun shops to browse in.
The boat ride itself went really quickly and Franky played a fun playlist that appealed to everyone on the boat. The boat itself was perfect - lots of space for 12 of us and a covered top which was crucial in the hot afternoon sun. The boat handled the afternoon choppy sea perfectly which was really important to me as I get a bit nervous…
All in all I couldn’t reconnect this tour more and I would try and ask for Franky as your skipper. You won’t be disappointed

Great day out. Blue caves were fantastic and enjoyed some of the smaller islands. Luka was fantastic, very knowledgeable guide and knew where all the best spots were and had some great local recommendations on the islands. Great skipper, good vibes and good company. If you’re looking for a great day out sightseeing at an easy pace, this is perfect.

This 5 island boat trip was the highlight of our visit to Croatia! Vedran ( Ca ca) was an excellent skipper and so attentive to all of the group from departure to our return. He is incredibly passionate about the tours. We definitely recommend this tour company as their seating was so comfortable and the roof blocks out the intense heat. Ca ca was very informative about local history and took us to extra little places which were an added bonus. The Blue Cave was our first visit and it did not disappoint!! We have read reviews about the separate price at Biševo Island to visit the caves which can be higher in peak season but to us this was well worth it. The photos just do not do it justice! Our stops at the other islands were so enjoyable and make us want to return! The view and photos we took from the fortress at Hvar-wow!!! Some fabulous swimming locations too-all in all, this was a really enjoyable day and a well-enjoyed trip as part of my husband's 50th birthday celebrations!!! The music on the boat was upbeat and added to the fun aspect of the day. Please book this trip through this company-you will be in very safe hands and will have an amazing day!! 10/10!!!!!

This is definitely one of the highlights of our Croatia trip. Our skipper, Simon, was incredible, friendly and fun. He timed our stops so well that we didn't have a long wait at the blue cave. He brought us to some amazing, less touristy private beaches which were awesome. Right mix of interesting facts and historical knowledge. The boat was shaded and very comfortable, unlike some other tours which used non-shaded boat.
Katryna_F, Jul 2026
A great tour! An all day excursion that doesn’t disappoint. Our tour guide Frankie was the crowning touch, with humour and great music, we had an amazing time! The shade and premium seating was a real added bonus! Highly recommend!
Jack_W, Jul 2026
Frankie was an excellent guide and driver, we were able to pack in so many awesome stops in just 1 day. Great as a couples day trip, felt like we were able to see the best of the Croatian islands, as well as see the blue cave in such a short time. This boat was much better than the others as it has actual seats instead of straddle benches, and has a suncover. Plenty of free time to explore the towns and beaches as well. Definitely the highlight of our trip
David_D, Jul 2026
A really fun way to see a lot of the islands near Split in a short amount of time. Our driver, Duje was very friendly, and knowledgeable about the various stops. We stopped at the Blue Cave, Komiža, a few swimming spots, and finally Hvar. It was a very fun trip, but it is a long day. So, pack lots of sunscreen and water. My favorite spot was the swimming stop that had some cliff jumps.
The shade on the boat was VERY welcome, and worth paying a bit more than other options that are fully exposed to the sun. This tour also seemed to have much more comfortable seating than the other speedboat tours we saw on the water.
The water was very calm when we left in the morning. I was dozing off on the way to the Blue Cave. The trip back was a lot bouncier, but I have a pretty high tolerance for waves. Duje did a good job of navigating the chop and making the ride as smooth as possible.
Erika_G, Jul 2026
We had so much fun visiting the blue cave (additional cost, but well worth it), and other islands. Our boat captain Frankie was amazing! Very knowledgeable, kind, and offered us many tips.
Pro tips: Everyone needs 24 Euros for the blue cave. Bring the exact amount. When going on the smaller boat to the blue cave, sit in n the left side. Bring plenty of water. If you get motion sickness easily, I recommend that you bring with you the patch that goes behind your ear (you’ll need to go to the doctor to get a prescription).
Alyson_S, Jun 2026
We had such a great time! The guy Frankie was really friendly and told us a lot of good stories about the area. The Boat had comfortable seats that looked way better than the year of the Boat that we saw. It was a super fun ride, even though it was long we didn’t even notice. Highly recommend this tour to anyone of any age!
Fiona_J, Jun 2026
I highly recommend doing a boat tour with Speedline. The boat was shaded which is a must. Our host, Franky, was an experienced boat driver & very knowledgeable. We took our tour 24 June 2026, fortunately before the Summer crowds. It’s about a 90 minute boat drive to Blue Cave. Franky made the trip enjoyable by playing great music. We had a short 10 minute wait for our transfer to a smaller boat to see Blue Cave which I highly recommend. I understand during Summer time the wait can be lengthy. Along the way Franky pointed out the WWII tunnels, caves & geological formations. He also provided excellent commentary including restaurant recommendations. We had plenty of time to enjoy swimming at 3 beaches or if you prefer, sight see or relax. It was a magical day. A must do to appreciate the shiny clear Adriatic Sea & stunning Dalmatian coast line.
Tina_G, Jun 2026
Lots of sun on the scheduled stops, boat was shady, lots of walking on sheduled stops in immense heat but the swimming (in the sea) was absolutely amazing
KathyJo_G, Jun 2026
Mario was a great skipper! He was informative & played great music. The shaded boat was worth the extra money. We loved the swim stops and the blue cave. It was our favorite day in Split.
William_T, Jun 2026
The pics posted make this feel like much more of a swimming opportunity than what my trip was. Maybe that’s the case sometimes, but there was not jumping from cliffs or boats beached in remote areas. It was all docks. It was fun and beautiful, but not a swimming/snorkel trip as the photos suggest.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Dear gusts
Thank you for your feedback. Every trip is adapted by the skipper based on the available time, sea conditions, and the group on board. Many of our guests are not confident swimmers or do not swim at all, so we always choose swimming locations that are safe and suitable for everyone. Our priority is to ensure that all guests have an enjoyable and safe experience. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again in the future.

This was an amazing day from beginning to end. The Blue Cave does not disappoint! Every little island town we visited is so pretty and fun to see, and the swimming spots are gorgeous and the water feels amazing! Our skipper, Matteo, had excellent recommendations and was a very experienced boat driver, he handled the boat so well we were in good hands all day long! Thanks, Matteo!!
Jean_A, Jun 2026
This was the best part of our trip, every stop was so awesome and our guide was great getting us from each location quickly so we spent more time doing things versus traveling. Our guide also offered history, and local stories as he grew up in the area. Will definitely book again if I go back
Suzanne_W, Jun 2026
Best place to book tour with
Another one we did not anywhere near as good
Excellent service and great staff and the boat was very safe Frankie played fab music and was very informative
We thoroughly enjoyed it
Scott_F, Jun 2026
This was the best tour we have taken so far! It was due in large part to our captain, Frane. He was incredibly personable, had great music playing the entire time and took us into hard to reach places and gave great information about the areas we visited and saw. His captain skills were unmatchable.
Sintija_s, Jun 2026
I have no words. This is one of the best excursions I’ve been on. Our guide Franky, was an amazing guy. We all had so much fun, everything was so thought out. I would 100% do this again if I was in split!
Erin_K, Jun 2026
The Blue cave tour was amazing! We lucked out with perfect weather and an amazing driver and guide, Frenkie. He was very knowledgeable, capable and fun! He drives the boat like a pro and we felt very safe with him. Loved his music mix and all his stories about the area, a true local. He even went out of his way to recommend restaurants and places to watch waterpolo for my son. Great day on the boat.
