Beautiful afternoon! the skipper was nice and very informative about Croatia/ sea animals and the islands. He provided complimentary drinks (cola/beer/iced tea/ water) and also got to try some local liquors. Stopped at 3 places all together, first two plenty of time for swimming and snorkelling, the last was an opportunity to try restaurants. Would recommend anyone to book with this provider, you will not be disappointed x

Highly recommend!

Myself and my friend joined Luca on his boat with five other guests. Luca was friendly, able to answer all our questions and a great guide. The small group was lovely and allowed us to get to know knew people. We stopped at two swimming points where Luca had snorkeling equipment for each of us, if desired. We then went to the island where we had an hour to explore/go for a drink or food. Luca provided water, iced tea and beers in a cooler on the boat which we could help ourselves to - there were also some shots of homemade alcohol! Luca did extend the trip over the 4hrs to allow us to watch the sunset on our return journey. Overall, an incredible trip that we would do again/highly recommend!

Great trip!

Natko was absolutely fabulous. We can’t say enough good things about him. He was a wonderful tour guide, talking to us and giving us info, but still allowing us time to talk with each other. We really enjoyed all three stops that we made. The trip was a great value, especially given that it included beer, water, and iced tea on the boat. Our teen son left his phone and diabetes supplies on one island, and we didn’t realize it until the end of the boat ride. Despite having another tour to get to, he rushed to make multiple calls to people he knew. Within 10 minutes his friend had located the phone, and he had found another friend to drive us quickly back over to the island to retrieve it for an extremely minimal cost. Natko literally seems to know everyone!! He went above and beyond anything that we would expect, and no one that helped us would even accept a tip for all of their extra trouble. We really appreciated his extra effort and had an outstanding day checking out the islands around Zadar! Highly recommend a boat trip with Natko!

the most comfortable tour

It was a very amazing experience. I thank Tina and Tomislav for their work! As they said, for them it is not a job, they love what they do! It really is very much felt. You will not regret if you buy this tour. It is beautiful, it is cozy and soulful. The organizers really care about your comfort. Thank you again!

We had a wonderful day!!...

We loved this boat trip. Our Captain Igor was on time. Communication was easy via whats app and we felt safe onboard. The swim spit was perfect sheltered and calm. We visited a village on an island and had 1.30hr there to swim again or explore. We then past by the lion monument and past the town of Zadar. Pricing was very cheap and highly recommend.

Lovely sea & swim day

LAA_A, Jul 2024
A very nice trip. We went to 2 different swim stops & saw the beautiful coastline. The boat was small so we had a group of 6 to ourselves, and the Captain, Igor, was very nice.

Really good fun :)

Intimate tour with time to explore and hike a nearby island and see zadar from a unique view. Skipper had great music and some refreshments….

Highlight of our holiday

We went on the half-day private cruise with Antonio in the morning. We were with a group of four girls and there was an amazing spot on the deck to lay down and enjoy the surroundings! Antonio offers us some really good shots and there were drinks on board. Antonio is a great guide: he was very relaxed and let us do our thing, but also gave us really nice information about the island and some hidden gems! A really nice guy! We would 100% recommend this cruise and it was the highlight of our holiday! If we could give it 6 stars we would have ;)

Great activity and guideman

Favorite ride so far! The beautiful island of Osljak, the staff is very friendly and always ready to talk. I recommend it to anyone who wants to relax and at the same time get to know and feel the charms of the Dalmatian coast.
