The best way to explore Croatia’s Dalmatian coast is by boat and a private cruise means you can devise your own itinerary. Feel like a VIP aboard your own speedboat on this full-day cruise from Split; hop off to explore Hvar islands; then sail around the beaches and bays of the Pakleni islands, stopping to swim and snorkel along the way.
After checking in at your meeting point in city centar, we’ll enjoy a panoramic view of Split and other islands as we begin a full day of fun and sun. Surrounded by turquoise crystal water we will sail to what Conde-Nast Traveller calls “..one of the most beautiful islands in the world..”.
Our first stop is Milna, a seaside village on the island of Brac. Here we will have time to disembark and explore this authentic Croatian town. Back on board and surrounded by the blue Adriatic, we will make our way to the glittering port of Hvar town at the lavender island of Hvar.
As we approach Hvar make sure you have your camera ready to capture the gorgeous harbor and stunning Fortica fortress which sits high above the town. At one time, Hvar was one of the largest exporters of lavender and lavender oil and today many of its cultural traditions and crafts continue. On Hvar, you will discover the essence of Mediterranean hospitality and learn about the heritage and history of the entire island.
There is time to explore on your own – craft and custom jewelry shopping here is excellent. Whilst known worldwide for its exciting nightlife, by day, the clubs, restaurants, and cafes are just as enjoyable. Have a drink, maybe some delicious fresh grilled fish, and enjoy watching the daily life of the island just like Tom Cruise, Prince Harry, and hundreds of other celebrities who come here every year.
