Full-day catamaran cruise from Split to Hvar and Pakleni Islands with 3 swim stops, lunch, and unlimited drinks, ending with a deck party.
“10/10!!!!! Best time in Croatia and made so many friends in the boat! Highly highly recommend if you wanna make friends or even go with your own friends”
Split to Brač catamaran with Bol and Golden Horn swimming, Vidova Gora views, and all-inclusive food and drinks.
“Had the most amazing time on this trip! Unlimited beer, wine, and non alcoholic drinks, and the food was actually pretty good and kept us full all day. Wish we could’ve spent the whole day on the boat instead of getting off and taking the bus but the first beach we stopped at was beautiful. Crew was super friendly too. Great value for the money and would definitely recommend this trip!!”
Private sail from Omiš to Brač on Sailboat Nana. Swim, snorkel, and SUP in Konopljikova cove, plus homemade lunch and drinks included.
“The day we spent aboard Nana with Mario and Carla was the absolute highlight of our trip. Hospitality doesn’t begin to describe it! We knew that the landscape would be beautiful, and had read from other reviews that the food and service were excellent. We were not expecting to have such a one of a kind, true local experience, with such lovely human beings. We have done this type of excursion in several countries and it has always been fun, but certainly felt like there was some distance between the passengers and the crew. Carla and Mario made us feel like we were guests in their home, they welcomed us…”
Small-group sailing from Split to Šolta and Brač with swim stops, snorkeling gear, snacks, and Croatian wine, plus slow time in Stomorska.
“Great day out. Unfortunately there wasn't much wind and so we only sailed a little bit. But had some nice snorkelling and the restaurant the skipper recommended for lunch was amazing, best meal we have had in Croatia so far.”
Private 4-hour sailing from Split with wine, snacks, and snorkel gear, plus a swim stop in Dalmatian coves near Brač.

Private yacht and BMW ride through Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia with a captain, chef, meals, pickups, and daily swims.
“This trip was exactly what we needed. At the beginning we wanted to rent bikes and do a motorbike trip only, but in the end, we did a combination of riding and sailing.”
Sail from Split on a catamaran to Blue Lagoon and Čiovo, with unlimited drinks, lunch, and a guided walk in UNESCO Trogir.
“Easy to find although I did have to ask for clarification as the link for google maps did nothing work. Large catamaran with some nets up front. It’s as described, free basic drinks all day and some food pops up occasionally. Watermelon, a chicken salad and some cake.”
Private full-day sail from Split to Milna and Solta, fuel included, snorkeling gear on board, and customizable stops.
“Goran was very lovely and accommodating. He picked us up on time and was happy for us to play our own music and plan the day at our leisure which included stopping for lunch on a nice island. Would recommend Goran and his boat to anyone visiting Croatia looking to experience the magic of the Aegean Sea!”
Small-group sunset sailing off Split. 2 hours on the Adriatic with Diocletian’s Palace views and included drinks for about $71.
“This was an amazing way to end off a visit to Split. Sailing from the harbour out past Marjan Hill during a pretty sunset was great. Having a very knowledgeable and experienced captain, who is also a wine connoisseur and very hospitable, made the sailing journey even better. The boat is solid and clean and the entire experience was fantastic. Thank you!”
Small-group Dalmatian Coast sailing from Split with lunch, wine, and snorkeling gear, plus island stops like Solta and Brac.
“We booked this trip last minute during the high season. We couldn't find many available but this sounded like a great sailing trip! We really enjoyed being on the water all day. It was very relaxing and the lunch provided was good. We also went to a small town to explore that was beautiful to see.”

“Disfrutamos mucho la excursión, fuimos a lugares más tranquilos y nos divertimos en el hermoso barco y en las pequeñas bahías. Totalmente recomendado para familia que busquen tranquilidad y diversión. El Capitan y compañero fueron muy amables, nos reservaron para almorzar en un restaurante costero y se brindaron para que pasemos un lindo día.”
Family sports sailing in Kaštela and Split with skipper Marin. A 4-hour hands-on course with steering practice, sail tricks, and swim breaks.
“I found Kašteli sailing through instagram and very soon we booked my girlfriend the active sailing tour because we need more practical exercises. After our first tour we booked a second one straight away because it was a pleasure to go through the sea with skipper Marin. He is very attentive to requests from guests, very friendly and professional. We have learned a few new things from him and plan to spend much more in the future together with Kašteli sailing to become just as good as Marin in sailing. But even if you are only interested in pleasure, you are in the right place.”
Half-day small-group sailing from Split to Solta, Brac, and Ciovo with snorkeling, snacks, free drinks, and a Croatian lunch.
“Lovely relaxing day on a sail boat. Enjoyed light winds, abundant sunshine and a trip to a local beach for a swim and snorkel.”
Every kind of day out of the harbour, and the best of each.
