Spend 10 hours from Split swimming near Brač, Hvar, Pakleni, and Šolta with lunch, an open bar, and sunset music onboard.

“Great team. Not too much information so doesn’t feel like a guided tour. Swim stops were fun and exactly what we expected. Floating noodles and goggles were a fantastic free addition to the experience. Our boat had all very cool people to hangout with, everyone was friendly which made for an easy all-day trip. P.S- the chicken salad is just regular salad with pieces of chicken on top.”

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!!”

Sail from Split to Blue Lagoon, Trogir, and Čiovo with swim stops, lunch, unlimited drinks, and Adriatic views on a 7-hour catamaran tour.

“The 2 stops were beautiful and relaxing but 60 percent of the trip is travelling which I wouldn’t of minded if you was allowed to lay on the nets. I have been on lots of catamaran cruises before and never been told I cannot lay on the nets whilst it’s moving, I thought that was the whole point to have a nice relaxing sun bathe on a boat but instead we was sat on the side or on the benches for about 4 hours of the trip which isn’t very comfortable at all. Wasn’t much entertainment on board, there is music but it’s not very loud, The food is ok…”
