A private, full-day motorboat cruise from Split visiting Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn), Hvar, the Pakleni Islands and Šolta. Swim, snorkel at a shallow shipwreck, and explore Hvar town with fewer crowds than public ferries.
The motor hum of a private RIB pulls you away from Split’s quay, the city shrinking into a mosaic of red roofs and pale stone as the Dalmatian islands open like pages. Salt rides your lips; sunlight glances off the Adriatic and the boat cuts toward Zlatni Rat — the Golden Horn — a spit of sand that bends like a fingertip into crystalline water. You’ll stop to swim, tube, and snorkel, then glide on to Hvar, where Venetian-era streets and a sun-soaked promenade offer a breather and a glass of local Plavac wine.

The motor hum of a private RIB pulls you away from Split’s quay, the city shrinking into a mosaic of red roofs and pale stone as the Dalmatian islands open like pages. Salt rides your lips; sunlight glances off the Adriatic and the boat cuts toward Zlatni Rat — the Golden Horn — a spit of sand that bends like a fingertip into crystalline water. You’ll stop to swim, tube, and snorkel, then glide on to Hvar, where Venetian-era streets and a sun-soaked promenade offer a breather and a glass of local Plavac wine.
This coastline was shaped by limestone uplift and Mediterranean currents; islands that were once connected to the mainland now stand serrated and dry, their cliffs and coves carved over millennia. Hvar’s theater and waterfront reflect a mix of Venetian and Illyrian history, while lesser-known Šolta holds the shallow wreck of the Contessa — an accessible snorkel site that reveals both marine life and maritime stories.
Expect a day balanced between active swims and relaxed exploration: two-hour windows at Golden Horn and Hvar, a lunch stop at Palmizana on the Pakleni archipelago, and a short snorkel at the shipwreck on Šolta. Practicalities matter — bring reef footwear, sun protection, and a compact dry bag. The crew supplies bottled water and snorkel gear and can tailor departure times since the tour is private.
Plan for sun, quick changes in wind, and strong mid-day light; pacing your fluids and using reef shoes will keep the day comfortable. With small-group attention and private transport, this itinerary is an efficient way to see the Adriatic’s highlights and a few tucked-away corners in a single, full day.
This private tour typically departs from Split’s harbor and returns to the same meeting point; exact pickup details are confirmed at booking.
Yes — snorkels and masks are provided, but many guests bring their own mask for fit and clarity.
Bottled water is included; there’s free time for lunch in Palmizana on the Pakleni Islands where restaurants are available, and one watersports ride at Golden Horn is included.
The tour is family-friendly and rated physically easy, but non-swimmers should use flotation and stay near the boat; crew can advise on safe swim zones.
