Private Full-Day 3 islands tour with snorkelling

The best part of this private boat tour is the variety packed into one day. You move from UNESCO-listed Trogir to the clear water of Blue Lagoon, a shipwreck off Šolta, small seaside villages, and a family wine stop on Brač. It feels less like checking off one beach and more like sampling the Dalmatian coast by sea.

I like the private format for groups of up to 11, since your skipper can adjust the pace and give you more time at a favorite stop. I also like the useful extras: snorkeling gear, towels, bottled water, fruit, soft drinks, and a SUP board are supplied. The main drawback is the price, $1,031.75 per group, plus lunch and wine tasting, so this makes the most sense when shared by a larger group.

Key points at a glance

• Seven coastal stops in about eight hours: The day includes Split, Trogir, Blue Lagoon, Maslinica, Nečujam, Stomorska, and Milna.
• A real private outing: Only your group takes part, with room for up to 11 people.
• Snorkel above a shipwreck: Nečujam provides a different kind of water stop from the usual beach swim.
• Flexible skippers: Toni, Dino, Marsel, and Vinko have all been named as skippers connected with the experience.
• Lunch is optional: You can eat at Restoran Turanj in Stomorska or use the two-hour stop for walking, swimming, and sun.
• Weather matters: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Setting Off From Matejuška in Split

The meeting point is at Trumbićeva obala 1, at Matejuška pier in central Split, beneath the Croatian flag. This is a handy starting point if you are staying in the old town or nearby, and the area is close to public transportation.

The tour lasts about eight hours. Since it uses a speedboat, you will cover a good stretch of the coast without spending the entire day in transit. That matters here. The islands and bays are spread across the water, and a regular land-based day would involve more roads, transfers, and waiting.

Your group stays together on the private activity. The boat can accommodate up to 11 people, making the price easier to justify for families, birthday groups, or friends sharing the cost. The arrangement also gives you some control over the day. Skippers Toni, Dino, Marsel, and Vinko are named in connection with past outings, and the strongest praise has focused on their friendly manner, careful help when getting on and off the boat, and willingness to adjust time at different locations.

Bring practical sun protection. The supplied towels and drinks help, but you will still want swimwear, sunscreen, and something to cover your head. Dolphin sightings are possible, but the wording is appropriately cautious: keep watch, but do not book this as a guaranteed wildlife trip.

Trogir, Stone Streets and Romanesque Doors

The first major stop is Trogir, reached by speedboat from Split. You get about one hour here, enough for a quick look at the old town, a coffee, and a walk along the waterfront.

Trogir is compact, which works well within a boat itinerary. Its narrow streets are lined with stone houses, and the promenade gives you a pleasant place to pause before the swimming stops begin. I would use the hour for a simple loop rather than trying to enter every sight.

The Cathedral of St. Lovre is the key historic stop. Its Romanesque doors were carved by Master Radovan in the 13th century, and they are among the details worth seeking out if the cathedral is open. You can also look at Kamerlengo Fortress or simply walk the waterfront.

The limitation is time. One hour will not support a detailed museum visit and a relaxed meal. Trogir works best here as a concentrated introduction to Dalmatian stone architecture, not as a full city tour. If you have already planned a separate visit to Trogir, the stop may feel familiar, but the boat arrival gives it a pleasant change of angle.

Blue Lagoon, Clear Water Between Three Islands

After Trogir, the boat heads to Blue Lagoon, also known as Krknjaši Bay. The bay sits between large Krknjaši, small Krknjaši, and Drvenik Veli. This is the classic swim stop, with clear blue water, a pebbled shoreline, and time to snorkel or sunbathe.

Snorkeling equipment is provided, so you do not need to bring your own mask and fins. The SUP board is another useful extra if you want to spend your time on the surface rather than swimming around the bay. Towels, water, fruit, and soft drinks are also included.

You get about one hour here. That is enough for a swim and a short snorkel, but it can pass quickly if your group wants to do everything. The shore is pebbled, so water shoes may be useful, although they are not listed as supplied equipment.

Blue Lagoon is likely to be the most instantly photogenic stop, but it is also the place where expectations need managing. A famous clear-water bay attracts attention, and the tour does not promise a private beach. The private boat arrangement gives your group control of the outing, not exclusive use of the entire lagoon.

Maslinica on Šolta, With Time to Slow Down

Maslinica is a village on Šolta surrounded by seven small islands. The setting is more about a relaxed Adriatic pause than major sightseeing. You have about an hour for coffee, swimming, or time on the popular pebble beach beside a wooden bar.

The village has changed in recent years. Marchi Castle was restored as a hotel, and a nautical marina has helped make Maslinica a popular coastal stop. Even if you do not spend much time looking at the castle, the harbor and island views give this break a different feel from Blue Lagoon.

I like the balance here. After the quick sightseeing walk in Trogir and the active water stop, Maslinica gives you a chance to sit down. You can get coffee, swim, or simply let the day slow down.

Again, the hour is a firm limit. You will not have time to explore all of Šolta, and the stop is not intended to be a long village visit. Think of it as a well-placed harbor break with a swim option.

Nečujam and the Shipwreck Snorkel

The next stop is Nečujam, on the north side of Šolta. The main feature is snorkeling above a shipwreck, with about 45 minutes in the water.

This is one of the more distinctive parts of the day. Blue Lagoon offers the postcard swim, while Nečujam gives you something specific to look at beneath the surface. The wreck adds a small sense of discovery without turning the outing into a technical snorkeling trip.

You should keep your expectations sensible. The supplied information does not describe the wreck’s size, depth, condition, or marine life, so this is best treated as a short snorkeling stop rather than a full underwater excursion. Water conditions can also affect visibility, and the tour depends on suitable weather.

The provided equipment makes this easy for a mixed group. Strong swimmers can spend more time looking around, while others can keep the stop brief. As with all the water breaks, follow the skipper’s guidance when entering and leaving the boat.

Two Hours in Stomorska, With Lunch Optional

The longest stop is in Stomorska, another village on Šolta. You have about two hours at Restoran Turanj, positioned beside the sea. Lunch is optional and is not included in the tour price.

This is useful flexibility. If everyone in your group wants a proper meal, you can sit down at the restaurant and enjoy the waterfront setting. If you would rather keep costs down, you can skip lunch and use the time for a walk, another swim, or a longer rest in the sun.

The two-hour allocation gives you the most breathing room of the day. It also creates the clearest choice between convenience and value. Buying lunch at the restaurant adds to the cost of an already expensive private excursion, but it saves you from organizing food during a day when you are moving between islands.

Ask about the lunch plan before you leave if your group has different preferences. The tour description makes clear that eating is optional, so you are not locked into a restaurant meal. That is especially helpful for families, picky eaters, or anyone who would rather spend the time in the water.

Milna on Brač and the Final Wine Stop

The day finishes in Milna, a fishing village on Brač. Here you can choose between wine tasting in a small family-run tasting room and coffee in the village.

Wine tasting costs extra, so keep that separate from the advertised tour price. A bottle of wine is included among the tour provisions, but that does not mean the tasting fee is included. If you want the tasting, confirm the cost when arranging the trip.

This final stop gives the day a local food and drink note rather than ending with one more swim. The tasting room is described as small and domestic, which suggests a more personal setting than a large commercial attraction. If your group does not want wine, coffee in Milna keeps the stop simple.

The 45-minute visit is short. You will have time for a tasting or coffee and a little look around, not a full exploration of Brač. Still, it is a pleasant way to finish after a full day on the water.

What the $1,031.75 Group Price Really Buys

The listed cost is $1,031.75 for a private group of up to 11 people. For one or two people, that is a steep day out. For a full group, the per-person cost drops to about $94, before lunch and wine tasting, assuming all 11 places are used.

That price includes the boat outing, a skipper, bottled water, soft drinks, fruit, towels, snorkeling equipment, a SUP board, and a bottle of wine. It also buys privacy and flexibility, which are the main reasons to choose this over a standard shared excursion.

The value is strongest for a group that wants several different stops without planning its own boat rental. You also avoid the usual compromise of joining strangers with different interests. The skipper can help your group get on and off safely, and the day can feel more personal.

The value is weaker if you mainly want one beach, or if your group will not use the snorkeling equipment, SUP board, or village stops. You should also budget for lunch and the optional wine tasting. The tour does not include either.

Who This Boat Day Suits Best

I would recommend this outing to families and groups of friends who want an active coastal day with plenty of variety. You get short sightseeing, several chances to swim, snorkeling, village time, and an optional meal and tasting.

It also suits a celebration. One booking was made for a birthday, with the skipper taking particular care to make the day feel special. The private setup is naturally more comfortable for a birthday, reunion, or group holiday than a shared boat with a fixed social mix.

The schedule may be less suitable if you dislike speedboats, need long visits at historic sites, or prefer a quiet day at one beach. The Trogir stop is only an hour, and the water stops are also timed. You will be moving on regularly.

The activity states that most people can participate, but it is still a boat and water-based day. Anyone in your group who has difficulty boarding, swimming, or walking on pebbled shores should ask for practical details before booking.

Weather, Cancellation and Planning Details

Good weather is required. If poor conditions cancel the outing, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. The same option applies if the minimum number of participants is not met.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund, and the cut-off follows local Croatian time.

The activity begins and ends at the same meeting point in Split. It can also be arranged from Trogir according to the tour description, but the stated meeting address is in central Split. Confirmation is supplied when you book, and the activity uses a mobile ticket.

Should You Book This Private Islands Tour?

Book it if you have a group large enough to share the cost and want one well-filled day covering Trogir, Blue Lagoon, Šolta, and Brač. The strongest reasons are the private boat, the range of stops, the included snorkeling kit and SUP board, and the skipper flexibility highlighted by the experience.

Before booking, make sure your group is happy with the extra costs for lunch and wine tasting. Also accept that the day is busy, Trogir time is brief, and Blue Lagoon is not a private beach.

For a group of eight to 11, this is a practical way to see several islands without organizing every transfer yourself. For a small party focused only on swimming, a less expensive shared trip may offer better value.
