Private 3 islands Tour With Speed boat to Blue Lagoon and Solta from Split or Trogir

The best part of this private speedboat trip is the freedom to spend a full day where the water looks most inviting. You can photograph the Čelica lighthouse, poke around quiet coves, swim at Blue Lagoon, and stroll Maslinica without being tied to a large group’s timetable. The private boat and a driver-guide make the day feel personal rather than packaged.

I like the mix of active water time and small-island stops. Snorkeling gear is supplied, wind jackets are available, and the crew has earned strong praise for friendly, flexible service, with guides including Karlo, Franko, Stipe, Josip, Mario, and Ivan. I also like having two hours in Maslinica for lunch and a walk through its narrow streets.

The main consideration is the speedboat ride itself. The trip can be thrilling and rough when the sea is choppy, so this is not the gentlest choice if you dislike wind, spray, or bouncing over waves. At $1,067.25 per person, it makes the most sense for a private group that values control and comfort over a cheaper shared boat.

Why this private boat day works so well from Split

Split gives you easy access to a scatter of islands, but seeing several of them independently takes planning, ferry schedules, and patience. This tour turns that coastal geography into one long outing, using a speedboat to connect places that would otherwise require separate journeys.

You travel with your own party, not a bus-sized crowd or a mixed boatload. That matters most when you want to linger in a cove, swim before lunch, or adjust the pace. The guide can help shape the day, although the published schedule still gives you a useful framework.

The trip lasts about six to nine hours. That range is important. A six-hour outing will feel brisk across five stops, while a longer day gives you more breathing room around Maslinica and the Blue Lagoon. Ask about the exact departure time and expected duration when you book, since the confirmation depends on availability.

The boat has been described as modern, comfortable, and well maintained, with skippers praised for steady driving, good English, humor, and attention to individual needs. You should still expect an open-water ride rather than a smooth ferry crossing. One useful warning from the experience itself is simple: be ready for waves.

Drvenik Mali and the Čelica lighthouse

Your first stop is Drvenik Mali, a small island where the focus is on scenery rather than a long town visit. The 30-minute stop includes the Čelica lighthouse and the nearby islet of Kljuda, giving you a compact chance to take photographs and see a less developed side of the coast.

This is a good opening stop because it gets you away from Split’s busy waterfront quickly. You can stretch your legs, frame the lighthouse and rocky shoreline, and enjoy a short taste of island nature before the main swim stops.

The limitation is time. Thirty minutes is enough for photographs and a quick look, not a full exploration. Wear shoes that can handle uneven ground, though the available information does not specify a walking route or surface. Keep your expectations focused on views and atmosphere rather than a guided historical visit.

Drvenik Veliki and its quiet coves

The second stop moves to Drvenik Veliki, where the plan is to explore hidden coves around the island. Again, the listed time is about 30 minutes, so this is a short scenic pause rather than a long beach stay.

I like the way this stop breaks up the boat ride. Instead of rushing directly to the famous Blue Lagoon, you get a look at the broader island setting and a chance to see quieter inlets. Your skipper’s local judgment matters here, since the appeal is finding a pleasant cove rather than checking off a major monument.

Do not expect every stop to offer a large amount of free time. The itinerary covers several locations, and the short Drvenik stops are part of that tradeoff. If your priority is one long, lazy swim, a simpler beach excursion may suit you better.

Maslinica on Solta, your main village stop

Maslinica is the tour’s longest land-based stop, with about two hours for walking and lunch. This small fishing village on Solta gives the day a welcome change of rhythm after the speedboat ride and island coves.

You can wander the narrow streets, look around the waterfront, and choose a local restaurant for lunch. Food is not included, so budget separately for your meal. Drinks are also excluded, which is worth remembering if you plan to eat, order wine, or buy something at a beach bar later.

The two-hour allocation is one of the strongest parts of the route. It gives you enough time to sit down rather than grab food hurriedly between photo stops. A private tour also makes this pause easier to enjoy at your own pace, although the boat still has to keep to the day’s wider schedule.

Maslinica is not presented as a major museum or sightseeing center. Its value is more ordinary and appealing: a small coastal settlement, narrow streets, local food, and a pause from the engine. I would choose a meal here if you want the day to include a taste of island life, not just swimming.

Blue Lagoon and Krknjasi Bay for swimming

The Blue Lagoon, also called Krknjasi Bay, is the main water stop and receives about two hours. This is where you can swim and snorkel with the provided masks and snorkels, then use the beach bar for a cocktail or snack if you wish.

The long stop gives you room to do more than take a quick dip. You can swim, try the snorkeling equipment, relax on the water, and decide how much activity suits you. The supplied gear adds real value because you do not need to arrange a separate rental before leaving Split.

Bring your own swimwear, towel, sun protection, and any personal snorkeling gear you prefer. The tour includes safety equipment and wind jackets, but it does not include drinks or snacks. A beach bar is available, but you should plan to pay for anything you order there.

The Blue Lagoon is also the point where timing and crowds can affect your experience, though no crowd levels are specified here. Your private boat gives you control over when you arrive and how long you stay within the planned two-hour window. The water stop is likely to be the highlight for anyone who wants a classic Adriatic swimming day.

A quick look at old Trogir

The final listed stop is Trogir’s old town, with about 30 minutes to look around. That is enough for a quick walk and a first impression of the historic center, but not enough for a serious visit to its churches, squares, museums, and lanes.

Think of Trogir as a short closing stop, not the reason to book the boat. If you have not seen the town before, the brief visit can help you decide if you want to return later for a longer wander. If Trogir is already high on your list, arrange a separate visit so you are not trying to absorb it at the end of a long day on the water.

The tour can begin from Split or Trogir, according to the experience details. Confirm your pickup point and timing after booking, since confirmation arrives within 48 hours and remains subject to availability.

What the skipper adds to the day

A private boat day rises or falls with the skipper, and the strongest pattern here is personable service. Karlo is praised for being skilled, friendly, and professional. Franko is described as patient, pleasant, and a strong driver-guide. Stipe receives praise for his English, humor, charm, and ability to keep the day interesting.

Other named crew members include Hrvoje, Mate, Duje, Matea, Jakob, Josip, Steve, Ivan, Filip, Ivo, and Bozo. The recurring strengths are flexibility, careful driving, good conversation, and attention to what the group wants. Music also appears to be part of the atmosphere, so you may find the ride lively rather than quiet.

You should not assume that you will receive a particular skipper unless the operator confirms one in advance. The specific crew member may shape the tone of the outing, but the common service pattern is clear: you can expect a driver-guide rather than a silent boat operator.

The crew also appears willing to adjust the schedule when conditions and timing allow. That flexibility is useful on a private tour, but it does not mean every request can be guaranteed. Weather, sea conditions, restaurant timing, and the five-stop route still set limits.

Is the $1,067.25 price good value?

At $1,067.25 per person, this is an expensive day out. You are paying for a private boat, fuel, driver-guide, insurance, safety equipment, and snorkeling gear, not just transport between beaches.

The price is easiest to justify when several people share the boat and the group values privacy. You avoid the compromises of a mixed excursion, such as waiting for strangers, following a fixed group pace, or having too little time in your preferred swimming spot. The cost also buys a lot of coastline in one day.

Still, you should compare the price with your priorities. If you mainly want to swim at the Blue Lagoon, a shorter shared outing may provide the central experience for less. If you want Drvenik Mali, Drvenik Veliki, Solta, Blue Lagoon, and Trogir in one carefully arranged day, the private format offers more control.

Lunch and drinks are not included. Add those costs before you set your budget. The supplied wind jackets are a thoughtful touch, especially because the fast ride can feel cool even on a warm day.

Who will enjoy this speedboat route most?

I would recommend it for families, couples, and groups of friends who want a flexible day on the sea and do not mind paying for privacy. It suits people who want a little of everything: island scenery, swimming, snorkeling, village time, and a quick historic-town visit.

It is also a good fit if you have limited time in Split and want to cover several nearby places without working out ferry connections. The private setup lets you spend more attention on your own group and less on logistics.

You should think twice if you get seasick, dislike fast boat rides, or want a slow, quiet excursion. The boat can encounter waves, and the day includes substantial time underway. Anyone seeking a deep visit to Trogir or a long meal in Maslinica may find the five-stop plan too ambitious.

Most people can take part, according to the supplied participation information, and the meeting area is near public transportation. The exact boat layout and boarding details are not specified, so ask the operator about those needs before booking if anyone in your group has mobility concerns.

Weather, cancellation, and practical planning

This experience depends on good weather. If poor conditions force cancellation, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. You can also cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time, but cancellations or changes made inside that window are not refunded or accepted.

Bring a swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a light layer. Wind jackets are provided, but a fast ride can still feel cool or wet. If you want lunch, wine, cocktails, or beach-bar snacks, bring money because food and drinks are not part of the package.

The mobile ticket is convenient, but confirmation is sent within 48 hours and depends on availability. Keep an eye on your booking details, especially if you are choosing between Split and Trogir as your starting point.

Should you book this private island tour?

Book it if you want a full, active day that combines several Adriatic settings and you value having the boat to yourself. The strongest reasons are the two-hour Blue Lagoon stop, the generous Maslinica break, included snorkeling equipment, and a crew known for friendly, flexible handling of the day.

Skip it if the price is hard to absorb, if you want only one beach, or if speedboat motion sounds unpleasant. For the right private group, this is a strong way to see the coast beyond Split without spending the day managing ferry timetables. Just budget for lunch and drinks, prepare for waves, and treat the 30-minute Trogir visit as a preview rather than a complete tour.
