Private Boat Tours from Split

Between €570 and €1,200 for the whole boat, up to twelve guests. The half day Blue Lagoon charter is €570, Blue Lagoon, Šolta and Brač €1,000, Hvar and Pakleni €1,100, and Blue Cave with five islands €1,200. Fuel, skipper, sailor and snorkel gear are included; the Blue Cave entry fee and lunch are not.

From about ten people, yes. Twelve guests on the private Blue Cave day pay €100 each against the €110 shared seat. At eight it is €150 each, at six €200: a real premium for having the boat to yourselves, worth paying when the group wants its own pace, its own stops or its own music.

Twelve guests plus the crew. That is the licence limit on the boat and it does not move. A group of thirteen or more takes two boats on the same route, and we keep them together through the day.

Yes, within the range of the boat and the daylight. You choose which stops, in what order and how long each one lasts. A destination two hours further out is not a route change, it is a different day, and the skipper will say so rather than spend yours at the throttle.

When you want. For any day that includes the Blue Cave we recommend 07:00 in high season and 07:45 outside it, because the light inside the cave is a morning thing and the queue at Biševo grows by the hour. On the sheltered Brač, Šolta and Blue Lagoon days the start time genuinely does not matter, so sleep.

By default at the Split Sign on the Riva, the big letters on the waterfront. On a private charter we can meet you at the marina or pier nearest to where you are staying instead. Tell us the address when you book.

Yes. The Blue Cave day can drop you in Hvar Town with your luggage aboard, the Blue Lagoon day in Trogir ten minutes from the airport, and any harbour on a route is a drop-off at no extra cost. Off-route harbours are quoted before you pay.

No. The fee is paid in cash on Biševo, per person, to the local concession that runs the cave, on every tour from Split. High season €24 per adult, off season €18, children 6 to 12 half price. Nothing else on the charter is charged beyond the boat price.

If the open crossing to Vis is unsafe the 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 the money back. The skipper makes the call the evening before, and a private booking is easy to move because your date is not competing with eleven other calendars.

Yes to all three. Bring a cooler if you like, the boat pairs with a phone for music, and we will tell you honestly which lunch stops are worth the time ashore. Cold water is on board all day.

Several weeks for July and August: there are three boats and private days go first. Shoulder season is usually possible at a week or two of notice, sometimes the day before. A 15% deposit holds the date and the balance is settled on the day.

They are the better option for families. You control nap timing, stop length and which bays you use, so a rocky scramble like Stiniva can be swapped for a sand bottomed bay. Children from age five can join the Blue Cave day; the sheltered Blue Lagoon and Brač days suit younger ones.
