Your private island-hopping adventure begins at the vibrant Riva Promenade in Split, where our warm and professional crew will welcome you at stand #10. Departure is set for 7:30 AM during the high season (15.05. – 14.09.) and 8:00 AM in the shoulder seasons (01.04. – 14.05. / 15.09. – 31.10.). Step aboard your sleek, comfortable boat and leave the city behind as the crystal-clear Adriatic opens up before you — a day of unforgettable beauty awaits.
❖ The Blue Cave & Biševo Island: Nature’s Most Mesmerizing Light Show
Our first destination is the enchanting island of Biševo, home to the world-famous Blue Cave — a natural wonder known for its surreal glowing waters. The cave’s radiant blue light is best seen in the morning, when sunlight reflects through underwater stone and creates an ethereal atmosphere inside. If sea conditions allow, we’ll also stop at Porat Bay, a peaceful sandy cove where you can relax and taste Biševski Plavac, a rare local red wine grown only on this island. Let yourself be moved by nature’s quiet drama in this untouched corner of the Adriatic.
❖ Vis Island: Rugged Beauty and Timeless Coastal Charm
Next, we cruise to the remote and authentic island of Vis, where unspoiled landscapes and rich maritime history come together. Weather permitting, we’ll visit Stiniva Beach, a secluded jewel surrounded by high cliffs and recognized as one of Europe’s most beautiful beaches. We may also dock at Komiža, a traditional fishing village where stone houses, wooden boats and narrow alleys tell stories of a slower, simpler life. This island is perfect for those who want to feel the soul of the Adriatic, far from the tourist crowds.
❖ Budikovac Island: Turquoise Lagoon for Peaceful Swimming
By early afternoon, we’ll anchor at the tranquil island of Budikovac, known for its stunning shallow lagoon and smooth pebble beaches. Ideal for families and couples alike, this stop is perfect for a peaceful swim in crystal-clear waters that reflect every shade of blue. Surrounded only by nature and gentle waves, this quiet cove is your own private slice of paradise.
❖ Paklinski Islands: A Hidden Culinary & Coastal Escape
Our journey continues to the lush and sun-drenched Paklinski Islands, a charming archipelago just off the coast of Hvar. You’ll have time to enjoy a relaxed lunch (optional) in a local seaside restaurant, where we recommend sampling fresh Adriatic seafood and local wine. After lunch, stretch your legs with a short walk or simply bask in the sun on a quiet beach — this is the Dalmatian coast at its most indulgent.
❖ Hvar Town: Elegance, History and Island Sophistication
Our final destination is glamorous and historic Hvar Town, a favorite among global travelers for its Venetian charm and vibrant atmosphere. Explore the winding streets of the old town, admire the view from the hilltop Fortica Fortress or enjoy a chilled drink along the sunlit promenade. Hvar offers the perfect mix of culture, beauty and effortless style — a fitting finale to your day of Adriatic discovery.
❖ Scenic Return: Sailing Back to Split at Sunset
After a full day of sun, sea and secluded beauty, we cruise back to Split in comfort and style. Relax on deck, sip a cool drink and take in the changing colors of the horizon as the Adriatic bids you farewell. Your private journey may end here — but the memories will linger long after you return to shore.
