Private Boat Tour from Split Prices 2026: Every Route, Per Boat and Per Person

A private boat tour from Split costs between €570 and €1,200 for the whole boat in 2026, for up to twelve guests. The four routes we run privately are the Blue Cave and five islands day at €1,200, the Hvar, Pakleni, Brač and Šolta day at €1,100, the Blue Lagoon, Trogir, Šolta and Brač day at €1,000, and the Blue Lagoon and Trogir half day at €570.

Divide by twelve and the four days are €100, €92, €83 and €48 per person. Divide by four and they are €300, €275, €250 and €143. The number covers the boat, the skipper and the sailor, fuel, mooring fees, insurance, snorkelling gear, towels, water and a speaker for your music. Two things are outside it on every private boat from Split, ours included: the Blue Cave entry fee, and lunch ashore.

The rest of this page is those numbers taken apart: why the price is per boat and not per person, what each route costs at every group size, where the private boat overtakes the shared one, what can move the price and what cannot, and how the deposit works. Every figure is the one on our published price list, checked on 22 September 2026.

A speedboat costs the same to run with four people aboard as with twelve. The skipper and sailor are paid for the day, the tank is filled for the route, the mooring in Hvar costs what it costs, and the insurance does not care how many towels are in use. So the honest price is a price for the boat, and the per person figure is that price divided by however many of you there are.

Any private charter advertised per person is a per boat price divided by a number the seller chose, usually a flattering one. Ask what the boat costs and how many it takes, and the arithmetic is yours again.

What the per boat number buys, in full: the whole boat for your group only; a skipper and a sailor for the whole day; fuel for the route, which on the Blue Cave day is a tank for around a hundred nautical miles; mooring fees at every harbour on the route; travel insurance; snorkel masks and fins for everyone; towels and wind jackets; bottled water; a Bluetooth speaker; and an itinerary the skipper adjusts to the group as the day goes. What you can actually change on a private day.

Blue Cave and five islands, €1,200 for the boat. Ten hours, Biševo first in the morning light window, then the cliffs of Vis, a proper swim at Stiniva, Budikovac, Hvar for as long as lunch takes, and the Pakleni bays on the way home. Four people pay €300 each, six €200, eight €150, ten €120, twelve €100. Plus the cave fee per person, paid on Biševo.

Hvar, Pakleni, Brač and Šolta, €1,100 for the boat. Nine hours from 08:30, sheltered all day: Milna and the military tunnels on Brač, the run through the Pakleni to Hvar Town, lunch by the sea, and Šolta on the way back. Four people pay €275 each, six €183, eight €138, ten €110, twelve €92. No cave, so no fee.

Blue Lagoon, Trogir, Šolta and Brač, €1,000 for the boat. Eight hours from 09:00, the calmest full day we run and the one for families: the lagoon off Drvenik, Trogir's old town, the Šolta harbours and a Brač swim, never more than twenty minutes from land. Four people pay €250 each, six €167, eight €125, ten €100, twelve €83.

Blue Lagoon and Trogir half day, €570 for the boat. Four and a half hours, morning from 09:30 or afternoon from 14:30, the shared half day route with nobody else aboard. Four people pay €143 each, six €95, eight €71, ten €57, twelve €48. The right private boat for a short stay or a first afternoon.

All four take up to twelve guests. That is the licence limit on the boat and it does not move; thirteen or more is two boats on the same route, kept together through the day, and two prices.

The shared Blue Cave day is €110 a seat. The private version of the same route is €1,200 for the boat, so at twelve people the private day is €100 each and cheaper outright; at eleven it is €109, level; at ten it is €120, a premium of €10 a head for the boat to yourselves and a start time of your choosing. Below eight the premium is real, €40 a head at eight and €90 at six, and what it buys is a swim at Stiniva instead of a look through the gap, a lunch that lasts as long as lunch lasts, and nobody else's schedule. When the private Blue Cave day is worth it.

The shared Blue Lagoon half day is €70 a seat, and the private half day is €570. At eight people the private boat is €71 each, a euro more than the shared seat; from nine it is cheaper. This is the private boat that pays for itself soonest, which is why it is the one families and small groups on a budget end up on.

The Hvar day and the full Blue Lagoon day have no shared version to compare against, so the fair comparison is the Blue Cave seat: at twelve people they are €92 and €83 a head, both under €110, for a boat and a day that are yours. What the cheapest Blue Cave seat in Split actually costs, itemised.

The Blue Cave entry fee is €18 to €24 per person depending on the season, paid in cash on Biševo to the local concession that runs the cave. It is not in any tour price from Split, private or shared, because no operator from Split collects it. On a boat of ten adults that is €180 to €240 on top of the €1,200, and it is the only per head charge on the day. The fee in plain numbers.

Lunch and drinks ashore are yours. On the Blue Cave and Hvar days that means Hvar Town, where the boat gives you the time to eat properly; on the Blue Lagoon days it is Trogir or a konoba on Šolta. Two hours in Hvar, eaten well.

That is the complete list. There is no fuel surcharge, no mooring charge, no per child fee, no charge for a pickup at a Split marina, and nothing to settle on the boat beyond what you spend in the towns.

What does not change the price: how many of you there are, up to twelve. What time you want to leave. Being collected from the marina or pier nearest to where you are staying in Split instead of the Riva. Getting off somewhere on the route rather than back in Split, whether that is Hvar Town with your luggage on the Blue Cave day, Trogir ten minutes from the airport on the Blue Lagoon day, or Milna on Brač. Changing the stops and how long each lasts, within the range of the boat. A day rerouted through sheltered water because the open crossing is unsafe.

What does: a drop-off away from the day's route, such as Vis Town or Komiža, which costs swim time and is quoted before you pay. A destination beyond the range of the boat and the daylight, which is not a route change but a different day, and the skipper will say so. A thirteenth guest, which is a second boat.

Nothing on that second list is hidden until the day. Anything that would change the number is quoted in writing when you ask for it.

The gap between €570 and €1,200 is hours and distance, not glamour. The Blue Cave day is ten hours with about two hours of open Adriatic to Biševo and back, the longest run and the most fuel of any route we sell. The Hvar day is nine hours in more sheltered water. The full Blue Lagoon day is eight hours that never leave the channel. The half day is four and a half hours in the calmest water on the coast.

The boats, the crew and the kit are the same on all four. Two crew on every departure, the same skippers who run the shared Blue Cave day, the same safety gear on every hull. What you are paying for as the number climbs is the run out to Vis and the day being longer, which is exactly what the Blue Cave route is.

The prices are the same in April as in August. A private boat in late September or October, when the sea is still warm and half the boats in Split have stopped, costs what it did in July and shares the water with far fewer people.

A 15% deposit holds the date: €180 on the Blue Cave day, €165 on the Hvar day, €150 on the full Blue Lagoon day, €85.50 on the half day. The balance is settled on the day, and the cave fee stays separate and in cash.

The skipper reads the marine forecast the evening before and calls it then, not on the quay. If the open crossing to Vis is unsafe the Blue Cave day runs through the sheltered channel between Brač, Šolta and Trogir instead, or moves to another date at no cost. If the sea rules out the water altogether you get your money back. The terms for changing your mind are on the cancellation page, and a private booking is the easiest kind to move, because there is nobody else on the boat to move it around.

Every number on this page is the number on our published price list, the same list the tour pages read from, kept in the form the Croatian price rules ask of a seller, with the reference price and the lowest price of the last thirty days shown on each tour page. If a figure here and a figure there ever disagree, the list is right and this page is late, and we would like to know.

Nothing is added at checkout. The booking form shows the boat price, the deposit and the balance before you pay, and the only other money that leaves your pocket on the day is the cave fee and whatever you eat.

First visit, and the Blue Cave is the reason you came: the Blue Cave and five islands day, €1,200, and leave at 07:00 in high season so the boat is at Biševo inside the light window with the queue still short. Blue Lagoon or Blue Cave, if you are choosing.

Hvar is the point and the open crossing is not: the Hvar, Pakleni, Brač and Šolta day, €1,100, with the Pakleni bays picked by the skipper on the day.

Small children, a nervous sailor, or a group that wants to swim more than it wants to travel: the Blue Lagoon, Trogir, Šolta and Brač day, €1,000, from age four, never far from land. The Blue Cave day with children, age by age is honest about when this is the better call, and Šolta is the island the day is quietly built around.

One afternoon, or a first day off the plane: the Blue Lagoon and Trogir half day, €570, morning or afternoon. The half day route, stop by stop.

Send four things on WhatsApp or in the booking form: the date, how many of you, which day you want, and where you are staying. Add a drop-off if you want one. The reply is the route, the start time and the number, and the number is the one on this page.

Or book straight from the private tours page: pick the route, pay the 15% deposit, and write the details in the special requests. The skipper has them on the morning, and nothing about the day is fixed until it runs.
