Josip was the best skipper ever! He helped us design a great day at sea. Pick up in Split, went to Vis, Blue cave, a couple stunningly beautiful beaches, and a drop off in Hvar. This was such a memorable day for all of us- so glad we did this-Loved it!

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!

DONT book

Laura_L, Jul 2026

They show a very nice boat on the picture and after you pay they pivk you up in a VERY DIFFERENT BOAT. DO NOT BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE.

Excellent day

Clare_G, Jul 2026

This was absolutely superb. Antonio was excellent at suggesting places to visit, including swimming up to a beach bar. Had a fantastic day

It was difficult to find...

Lynn_K, Jul 2026

It was difficult to find the pick up location on the dock. Once on the boat we asked to go to the Blue caves which was one of the excursions advertised and we were told that was too far to go. The boat was not at all as pictured in the advertisement. Also we did not feel it was made clear to us that we had to pay for fuel which was quite expensive. I would have to say this was nothing but a boat ride to a rocky beach and a sand beach which we could have done by land in Split.

Fabulous day out

Tracey_H, Jun 2026

We had a fabulous day on the boat. We booked a ‘larger level boat’ which was a rib and which seated 7 of us comfortably. We visited the Under Water museum as we wanted to do some snorkelling, the blue lagoon and then the island of Solta where we had a very lovely lunch on a harbour. We then asked for more swimming so the guide took us to a cove nearby which was beautiful and we prefered it to the Blue Lagoon which was quite busy. The fuel fee was €170 which we paid on a card and then the €100 skipper fee in cash. The journey back was fast bouncy as the wind had got up. We loved it!

Great value trip

Zev_H, Jun 2026

Great communication, awesome skipper with flexible private itinerary to the most beautiful islands in the world!

A must do!!

Matt_S, Jun 2026

An incredible day. The boat and crew were amazing- I would definitely recommend this trip. Nice local guides and the boat was in great condition- practically brand new.

Boat rental with fees

Kelly_M, Jun 2026

We went to Blue Lagoon, Sôlta, and Čiovo and the fuel cost was $197 USD. I think it's important to factor that in with the additional cost of the captain when renting. I found other places that offered all inclusive prices.

Hidden Gems on the Adriatic Sea

Celeste_D, May 2026

Our skipper Luca was a capable boatman, excellent English speaker and lots of local knowledge of the area. He took us to picturesque places and a charming lunch spot and a couple stops for swimming. The boat was not at all like the luxury boat shown in the ad we saw and lured us to book with this company which was the same photo on my confirmation. However, it was a comfortable boat with a shade canopy, nice seating options and felt safe.

Very bad I can say only viator

Hitesh_P, May 2026

I book via Viator but it's very bad experience confirm 5 times perticular boat but not provided next time no book via viator

Good deal, beautiful tour.

MaryKatherine_J, May 2026

What a lovely way to visit the local islands around Split! Toni, our skipper, filled our day with beautiful sights and wonderful insight about the neighboring islands. We stopped at 3-4 ports and swam in the Blue Lagoon. The boat was plenty spacious and a good deal compared to other boat tours we have done in other countries. Thank you, Toni, for an unforgettable trip! *OUR price breakdown for this trip: Viator cost + €100 for skipper + €150 in gas + tip*

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!!

Monica_S, Oct 2025

Our day with Karlo was the highlight of our trip. It was an experience that we will.neber forget. Karlonwas excellent. He took us to fabulous spots and tailored the day to.our needs.

Incredible island hopping experience with local expertise

Foster_T, Oct 2025

Antonio was a terrific...

Scott_r, Oct 2025

Wonderful experience,...

Lauren_S, Oct 2025

Wonderful experience, Antonio was our captain. He suggested the perfect itinerary for our family and was always on time and available with each stop.

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

Quinn_F, Sep 2025

Great day on the boat

Melissa_M, Aug 2025

Amazing Day on the Water with Roko

RegisDelalande_R, Aug 2025

A wonderful day!! Filip was a very friendly skipper. He piloted the RIB with gentleness and skill. He recommended a great spot for swimming and a good place to eat. Thank you Filip and good luck for the future.

We had an incredible day...

Phoebe_K, Aug 2025

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!
