Our tour was incredible. Karlo was an experienced guide who knew the right spots to take us and had great recommendations for our itinerary throughout the day. We had an incredible time exploring the islands on his boat!

We had an absolutely perfect day on this private boat tour from Split. Our skipper, Roko, was attentive, pleasant, and very experienced. Thanks to him, we discovered stunning spots away from the crowds, including the beautiful Blue Lagoon. The scenery was breathtaking, and we enjoyed stopping in a charming seaside port to savor fresh fish at a wonderful local restaurant. A truly authentic and memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing

David_T, Feb 2026

We had an absolutely amazing time. The boat we rented took the 9 of us on an amazing day trip across several islands and quiet bays to go swimming. The skipper and assistant were amazing and super friendly and worked with us on a custom tour and what we liked. We managed to see a school of dolphins on the way out to one-of the islands. An absolute must and will do this again. Unforgettable experience.

Great private 6 hr boat excursion to Hvar and Milna for 11 cruise buddies

Sherry_S, Oct 2025

Antonio took perfect care of us so we could personalize the 6 hour trip that we wanted that included a visit to Hvar and made reservations in Milna for lunch. A great day. know that on top of the 6 hour rental, there is also 100E for the captain and you pay for gas at the end of the trip [fueling costs were a surprise due to language misunderstanding when I booked]. However, the pricing was still very fair for the excellent private boat tour we received. Bravo!

DO THIS!! It is the best thing!!

Wonderful day on the water with Colnago 38

Steve_Z, Oct 2025

Wonderful boat and crew that handled the moderate waves from the north very comfortably. The Colnago 38 is built in Split specifically for this areas environment and handles wind, waves, and splash incredibly well. We went to Hvar, Milna, a few different places for swimming, snorkeling, and stand up paddle boarding. Toni and Antonio were excellent skipper and crew. We had a huge amount of fun. Totally worth the cost. I would do it again

Ivan was excellent

Maria_B, Sep 2025

Ivan made our trip espectacular. He was very kind, professional, sweet and knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends when they come to visit Split.

Hvar/islands day

We had an incredible day out with Stefan! Would recommend this trip to anyone, best day we had during our week long holiday in Split!

Rough ride with no highlights

Saravanan_S, Jul 2025

There were several not so good surprise that we got in this trip. The boat we got was a light weight speed boat and the skipper was driving it at breakneck speed in choppy waters even though we had two young kids in the group. We had enough of us that we had to sit upfront and hang on to dear life as the boat was bouncing off the water. The skipper said he had fun driving at breakneck speed In choppy waters but we certainly didn’t. He was hurrying us and took us back early. He didn’t take us to blue cave and blue lagoon. Instead he took us to this snorkeling spot that was too deep for young kids and didn’t see much sea life. We spent a few hours in. Hvar. In the end, the fuel cost was another ~200 euros and 100 euros for skipper so it adds up. My recommendation is to skip this tour and get I. A ferry to Hvar. It’s cheaper, comfortable and safer.

Worth it!

Shannon_D, Jul 2025

Our family of 5 had a great day with Stephan. It was a very windy day and he adapted the itinerary to fit the weather and our kids' interests so that we could have an enjoyable experience. It was a day we won't forget! Stephan was very knowledgeable about the area and what we were seeing. He was great with our kids and always ensured they were safe and having fun. We loved it!

This is an absolute must do!! Well worth the money! We booked a larger boat for 3 of us and it was great!. Stefan was super accommodating, knew all the great spots! This was our favorite day spent in Croatia!!

Just do it!

Stephanie_B, Jun 2025

Stefan was amazing! Super helpful from start to finish. Best advice- just go with his suggestions (especially lunch)! Music made it fun and he was great to include our sons (12 yo) without making him feel like a baby. Thank you Stefan for a wonderful day and many, many cherished memories .

Enjoy this great fun and beautiful island hopping tour

Naznin_P, May 2025

Karlo was tge best. We had a great time on tge boat island hopping, listening to great music , enjoying the speed boat and the great recommendations at all the islands . He was a great skipper and was fun to be with. Made our experiences absolutely a pleasure and memorable one. We felt we were young again!

Amazing Island Hopping Day

Liana_R, May 2025

We loved getting to choose our itinerary for the trip. Josip was a great guide - he checked the conditions ahead of time and adjusted our course to get the most out of what we were able to see. We had a great time and got to see dolphins, listen to an impromptu concert inside a WW2 submarine tunnel, explore multiple different islands, bays, and caves. I was worried about getting sea sick but our guide was great and we didn't have a problem. The only thing that could be improved would be to have more transparency about the extra fees to be paid day of - this includes a skipper fee, expensive fuel, and a tip.

Nice experience

kztv58sy6p, Apr 2025

Really good trip, luxury boat.account for an extra 200-300 Eur for fuel as it is on top of+ 200 Eur for crew

Wonderful Service from a Local Family Company

Lainey_B, Oct 2024

Our family of 7 women took this excursion and absolutely loved it. Our skipper was Karlo, a local of Trogir and a great guide! He was extremely accommodating and friendly. He took time to explain the history around us and tell us about the locations we visited. It was definitely a great use of our short time in Split!!

Great experience

Andrea_C, Oct 2024

Wonderful trip. We had a friend who was very nervous about the boat ride. Our captain did an amazing job of making her feel more comfortable. Took us to unique places and was very pleasant. Highly recommend!

Amazing day trip to islands off Split, Croatia 🇭🇷

Garrett_M, Sep 2024

Great tour with Mario

Matthew_D, Sep 2024

Mario was our skipper. He was great! We have a wonderful day and he gave us good recommendations for swimming and for lunch. Was our favorite part of the trip.

Great day boating experience

jeffpatrias, Sep 2024

Fantastic trip to Hvar, Brac and the Blue Lagoon. Lunch in Brac was a highlight. Our driver Vataliy was outstanding. Knowledgeable, confident and fun. A highlight of our Croatia experience

The most incredible experience!

Nicole_G, Sep 2024

Reserving a private boat was worth every penny. Our skipper Ivan was such a kind, welcoming, and fun person. He created the perfect itinerary for my friends and I and made our experience special. Hopping around to all the different islands gave us a snippet into what each was known for. The whole day was memorable. Would highly recommend!

Average experience

saran_e, Sep 2024

We had average experience.We expect the tour operator to make aware of the tourists that particular place/island is not suitable for small kids to avoid disappointments.At least they should have some note in the site saying travelling to particular island is not recommended for small kids.We were planning for blue cave but had to cancel as the travel was not suitable for kids.Had we known beforehand, we would have planned better. Also , expecting more tourists friendly and welcoming skipper. Overall it was average trip and would not recommend if you plan to blue cave or blue lagoon with kids less than 7 years.
