Booked this last minute and it was the best decision we made. Loved every part of the trip, all 3 swim spots were great, they provided snorkel masks and foam noodles, island of Hvar was also very nice, will have to go back for more time. All 4 of the boat hosts were very nice and helpful, they made the experience very fun, especially the last 2 hours with the dance party and games. Amazing experience overall, many memories made, would recommend to everyone over 18 and I would definitely book this again.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Dear Sydney,
Thank you for your kind review.

We had an good experience on this all-day excursion!. The crew was absolutely fantastic, professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the trip. The sights were breathtaking, and we loved every stop along the way.
Tip: If you're prone to motion sickness, be sure to bring some motion sickness pills with you as it is not smooth sailing and you hit quite a few swells.
They do serve you a pastry for breakfast, lunch after the Hvar stop and then fruit and muffins after a swim stop in the late afternoon.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Dear Anna,
Thank you for your kind review. We're glad you had a great time and that our crew made you feel safe and well cared for throughout the day.
Thank you also for mentioning motion sickness. We always have pills on board just in case anyone needs them, so guests are welcome to ask the crew at any time.
We’re happy you enjoyed the food and the beautiful stops, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

What a day!!! Friendly crew, 4 great locations, fresh food, flowing drinks and finished with great music and a boogie.
Highly recommend this day out from Split. Hvar was absolutely beautiful, could have stayed all day but the swimming spots were equally beautiful.
Loved this day and will forever be in my memory bank.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Michele,
Thank you for your kind words and for the recommendation!

Mariana_N, Aug 2025
Had a nice time - swim stops were refreshing, and it was great to explore Hvar for a bit. This trip is more about relaxing on the boat rather than getting guided commentary, though there is a tour guide once you arrive in Hvar. There’s a fair amount of boat travel time, so definitely bring sunscreen!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Guest,
Thank you for sharing your positive feedback!
We're glad to hear you had a nice time and enjoyed the swim stops and your visit to Hvar. You're right, this tour is all about relaxing, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the beautiful views :)

The funnest thing we could have done. The crew was so entertaining, the food was delicious and drinks were amazing and it was a great size catamaran.
We stopped at 3 places for swimming and spend around 2 hours in Hvar. On our way back the crew turned up the music and we danced for almost 2 hours. I highly recommend this excursion.

Courtney_H, Aug 2025
Overall great day. Mia was our host and she did a great job keeping us informed and the party going. We had a private secluded swim stop, 2 hours in Hvar with a 30 min guided tour, and then two more swim stops before the boat turned into a very fun dance party as we made our way back to Split. Breakfast was served with coffee early, bar with beer/soda/juice/wine was stocked and unlimited. Advertised chicken salad for lunch… which if you’re thinking is the mayo based one was not it. More of a salad with chicken on top and looked pretty good, we just ate in Hvar. Our boat was not too crowded, which was nice. Would recommend over some of the other bigger boat days on Viator. The split doc shares with these and they looked packed… maybe more for a younger crowd. This tour was a great mix of age groups.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Courtney,
Thank you for sharing such a detailed review!
We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the day with Mia, from the swim stops and Hvar visit to the lively atmosphere on the way back.
We hope to see you on board again for another great day at sea!

We just got back from an amazing day exploring the Dalmatian islands. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. The highlight was without a doubt our tour guide, Manuela. She was so kind and welcoming and made our day perfect. Definitely worth requesting to have her as your tour guide if possible. You won’t regret it!
Response from Host, Aug 2025

The best day out on the water! The crew were absolutely amazing and the most epic hype men! They gave us breakfast when we got onboard and coffee was waiting for us. The bar opens for alcoholic drinks aroubd 1030. The swim spots were the best so nice and not to cold. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Split.

A terrific time on the catamaran with a tour of Hvar, three swim stops, great music, food, unlimited wine/beer/soda, and a FABULOUS CREW! There was enough space for everyone to feel comfortable, the swim stops were long enough for everyone to enjoy and they were in perfect spots. The tour of Hvar was a nice addition and a lovely experience (it made us want to stay there in the future!), and Manuela was the perfect hostess. She was engaging, sweet, kind to all, she held conversations with everyone, checked in on all of us and gave great tidbits of information at each stop. It was a highly enjoyable day! Thank you to the entire crew for making this a lasting memory for me, my husband, my two teenage kids and my mom!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Dear Amber,
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re really happy to hear that you and your family had such a great time on the tour. It’s great to know you enjoyed the swim stops, the Hvar visit, the food, drinks, and the atmosphere on board. We try to make sure there’s enough space and time for everyone to relax and enjoy each moment, so it means a lot that you noticed and appreciated that.
A big thank you for your kind words about Manuela — she always puts her heart into making sure everyone feels welcome and looked after. We’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to her and the rest of the crew.
Thanks again for joining us and sharing your experience. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Fun trip but only gave it four stars because I think it was too long. Three swim stops could have been only two because they were exactly the same.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Dear Maureen,
Thank you for the kind words, we’re glad to hear you had a fun time on the trip!
We appreciate your comment about the swim stops. While many guests enjoy the full day with three swim stops, we understand that preferences can vary. We're always looking for ways to improve the experience, so your input is valuable.
Hope to see you again on board!

Olivia_M, Jul 2025
Great team. Not too much information so doesn’t feel like a guided tour. Swim stops were fun and exactly what we expected. Floating noodles and goggles were a fantastic free addition to the experience. Our boat had all very cool people to hangout with, everyone was friendly which made for an easy all-day trip. P.S- the chicken salad is just regular salad with pieces of chicken on top.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Dear Olivia,
Thanks so much for your feedback! We're really happy to hear you enjoyed the easygoing atmosphere and had a fun day with a friendly group on board, that always makes the experience even better. Glad the swim stops, noodles, and goggles added to the fun too!
Thanks for the note on the chicken salad, it’s meant to be a light, refreshing option for a day at sea, but we’ll look into improving it to better meet expectations.
We'd love to have you join us again!

Renata_S, Jul 2025
The day included 3 beautiful swim stops, lounging on the boat, a stop in Hvar and delicious lunch and snacks. The open bar made for a really fun dance party on the way back and the crew and people on board were fantastic. It was the perfect mix of a boat day, seeing some sights and swimming in the beautiful sea. There were some families on board with younger kids but it does get a bit more party vibe, especially by the end of the day with the open bar and dance party so wouldn’t necessarily recommend for families. We were all sad for the day to end, would do this experience again in a heartbeat.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Dear Renata,
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review! We're so happy to you enjoyed the mix of swim stops, sightseeing, and the fun atmosphere on board.

This was the most fun and interesting catamaran cruise I have ever taken. Great tours around town. Three fabulous swimming spots. A really outsranding staff!!! The 45 to 50 people on the catamaran had lots of fun dancing all the way back to disco songs that we all knew so well.
