Fantastic day!

Ashley_C, Apr 2025

We had a great time on the boat with Ranko and Lucija! Ranko gave us the full rundown on the history of Zadar and told us some interesting stories about the different islands. Lucije was very friendly and helpful as well. There were only the skippers and us on the boat tour making it essentially a private tour which was awesome! Thank you for showing us Zadar from a different viewpoint and giving us a memory that will last forever!

Great tour

Ranko was an excellent tour guide and captain and took us to beautiful quiet swimming and beach locations. We had a wonderful half day!

Captain Boris took us...

Frank_B, Sep 2023

Captain Boris took us away on a comfortable boat (group was 12), after some local liqueur, to two islands close to Zadar. Great opportunities to swim, walk and explore. We really enjoyed it (especially the 70's music).

Holiday highlight.

Carolyn_N, Sep 2022

Fabulous trip, Ranko? (Sorry if I got your name wrong) very friendly and knowledgeable with some really neat local stories. Pity we didn’t see the dolphins but the trip was definitely a highlight of our holiday and worth every penny. We were lucky as only actually 6 of us on the boat so felt it was more personal experience. Would definitely recommend.

Great day

Amazing experience went to three different island and the tour guide Andrej was excellent explaining everything and making sure we were enjoying our boat ride , I would definitely recommend him.

Unforgettable journey

Ed_G, Oct 2021

This is a fantastic, short tour. Andrej made sure we had a great time, explaining the history and significance of the places we visited. Additionally, we had plenty of time on our own to explore as well, it was a perfect mesh between a guided tour and self-discovery. As well, his recommendation for a restaurant in Preko was excellent. All in all, a great half-day tour that I can strongly recommend.

Perfect experience !

Denis_S, Sep 2021

The tour was perfect for us! Andrej and Natko were really friendly and gave us the freedom to explore the islands by ourselves and on our own rythm. The islands are beautiful! As we took the tour in the afternoon, we had the luck to experience the sunset from the water on the way home. Definitely recommended!

Wunderschöne Insel mit wunderbarem Service

Leon_S, Sep 2023

Marin hat uns auf eine wunderbare Tour mitgenommen und zwei wunderschöne Insel nahe Zadar gezeigt. Wir hatten genug Zeit zu schwimmen und uns auf beiden Insel umzusehen. Es gab kostenlose alkoholische Getränke und wir waren auf einem kleinen Boot mit nur ein paar anderen Leuten unterwegs. Daher wirkte es sehr exklusiv.
