About the experience

Sail from Split to Hvar on a one-way 10.5-hour adventure that blends scenic cruising with three unforgettable swim stops. This full-day journey is more than just a transfer — it’s a unique way to travel across the Adriatic, enjoying hidden coves, bays, and crystal-clear waters before arriving at the iconic port of Hvar.

The day begins as the boat departs Split and heads toward the island of Čiovo. Depending on conditions, the first stop will be either Gospa od Prizidnice, a cliffside chapel overlooking turquoise waters, or the bay of Kava. Both locations offer a peaceful setting for a refreshing swim surrounded by natural beauty, setting the perfect tone for the day.

The cruise continues to the next swim stop, where you’ll spend around 1.5 hours in either the quiet Milna bays of Brač or the hidden coves of Stračinska on Šolta. Both areas are known for calm seas, rocky cliffs, and crystal waters ideal for snorkeling and relaxing. It’s a chance to discover some of the Adriatic’s most authentic and unspoiled corners.

The final swim stop brings you to Vela Garška on Hvar, a sheltered bay with emerald waters and a tranquil atmosphere. With around 20 minutes to enjoy a dip or simply float in the clear sea, it’s the perfect refresh before sailing into the lively port of Hvar.

Arriving in Hvar by sea is an experience in itself. The town’s historic harbor, backed by Venetian architecture and overlooked by a hilltop fortress, is one of the most beautiful arrivals on the Adriatic. With swimming, sailing, and sightseeing along the way, this 10.5-hour Split-to-Hvar tour transforms a simple journey into a full-day adventure.

    We had an absolutely amazing day at sea celebrating a 60th birthday with our family of five. The whole experience was unforgettable from start to finish. Our skipper was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. He went above and beyond by reserving tables for us at Mlini Restaurant and Carpe Diem and even transported us there by dinghy. During the day, we were served a delicious traditional Dalmatian marenda on board, which was one of the highlights of the trip. We also stopped for a swim in a beautiful, idyllic bay with crystal-clear water. The boat was fully equipped with snorkeling gear, a SUP board, a canoe, and more, all of which we could use freely. Everything was perfectly organized, relaxing, and enjoyable. It truly was a perfect day on the sea. We highly recommend renting this boat privately if you want to spend an unforgettable day on the water with family or friends.

    This had to be one of the best days of sailing and boating we’ve had ever! The captain and his first mate ( his wife )are such phenomenal people. They had a lot of experience sailing and making people feel welcome and enjoying the experience. If you want a great experience sailing, this should be your choice. The sailboat is very big, very spacious, easy to walk around, and to lay out and enjoy the sun. They also had a kayak and a paddle-board and snorkel equipment. When they open the sails up it is such a beautiful site and so peaceful. The galley was so clean and cozy.I highly recommend this boat ! It also has very cool historical facts about the sail boat that you need to ask the captain about . First boat from Croatia to sail around the world in 1965.
