You will meet up with the skipper in the Hvar harbour near the green lantern. As Hvar port is very busy and the Port authority allows only 5 minutes for boats to stay on a dock, please arrive 10 minutes earlier so that you have enough time to find the boat and if needed a skipper can contact you.
Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Beautiful views and great swimming spots - Lovely yacht trip around the Pakleni islands. After a leisurely sail from Hvar to the islands, we made several stops where we could dive off the boat, snorklel, swim and paddleboard. These spots are more secluded and quieter than most spots on the mainland, and the water is so clear, with some fish to see! The boat itself was great to spend time on - although there are up to 8 people on the trip, it doesn't feel crowded and it's easy to move around. There is plenty of space downstairs to store your belongings, plus a small fridge and a toilet on board. The skipper was very friendly, telling us things about the islands and encouraging us to enjoy ourselves. We had a really great time and four hours is a good amount of time out on the water. We thought it was very reasonably priced for the experience and definitely recommend it if you want to see the surrounding coast from a different perspective, as well as getting to enjoy the water!

Sail and snorkel - Myself and my wife had a fantastic sailing experience led by Alex, our skipper. We stopped off at two great snorkeling spots and the water was crystal clear. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see sailing first hand and have a great swimming experience too. Thanks team for the great afternoon 😀

Great sailing experience - We were looking for a semi-private boat tour to explore the islands nearby Hvar and we are so happy that we found this one. Alexander, our skipper, was really entertaining and a great captain. We had the chance to visit 2 beautiful bays for swimming and enjoyed the sun on the boat. Heavily recommend.

Peaceful sailing and swimming experience around beautiful islands but could do with better communication - We had a lovely time on this tour with very friendly skippers - the sailing was beautiful, the swimming in the sea was a big highlight of our trip. It's a good amount of time to be out also. Overall, the actual experience was great although the admin/communication prior to the tour could have been a bit better. (Just to preface - the tour was great. This is just to give context to our experience). Originally we had booked onto the 2-6pm tour on the 6th - being late season this would mean we'd be sailing back during sunset which someone had mentioned in a previous review and was a big selling point for us. Unfortunately at 12pm that day we were told that our tour had to be rescheduled due to weather concerns. We were asked to do the tour the next day but this started at 12:30 so we would be back well before sunset. We expressed our disappointment and were told they would see what they could do. When we followed up hours later having not heard back we were told that the time could not be changed but were offered to do the sunset tour from 5-7pm after for free. We accepted this and had a great time on both tours. However, we did feel frustrated as we were given such short notice of the cancellation of our tour that we couldn't go to Stari Grad on the 6th like we had originally planned for the 7th as the buses were no longer running by the time we were contacted. We understand things can change due to weather but we had already had another boat trip cancelled due to weather when in Split and they had informed us the night before so we could change our plans in advance. Also, we later found out that the 6th was actually excellent weather for sailing and the sunset tour (5-7) had gone ahead so maybe the issue was in fact bad booking rather than weather (not sure how our tour 2-6 and the sunset tour 5-7 would have both run)? Regardless, I do highly recommend both this and the sunset tour but I would encourage the company to try to communicate changes to schedule as soon as possible.

Perfect half day tour - We had a great afternoon of sailing. Vitor our skipper was informative and friendly. The islands we went to were beautiful. The swimming fantastic. The small group size was perfect for us and four hours was a great time frame. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a taste of the islands and would rather a small easy experience without the crowds

Nice islands - Our guide was lovely, but the boat was dirty. The toilet was overflowing and the toilet bag was overflowing with tissue paper. Sights were good (obviously)

Not the best - It was hardly a "comfort yacht" - just a small sail boat. We've been on many of these sailing/swimming/snorkeling trips and this one was just really bare bones and pretty dull. The places we stopped were boring and full of other boats, there was nothing offered on board, not even water, and very little information given about each place unless we specifically asked. The reason I'm giving it 3 stars instead of less is that the two guys running it were WONDERFUL. Very entertaining and educated about history, politics etc, so it was very fun talking with them... but we could have done that in a bar on shore, for free.
