Highlights
-
Zlatni Rat Beach (Golden Horn) - Our tour starts with a panoramic 50-minute cruise to our first stop, The Golden Horn beach on Brac island. It is one of the most famous beaches on the Adriatic.
Golden Horn is a beautiful pebble beach protruding almost half a kilometer into the turquoise sea in a V-shape. What makes this beach unique is its shape which visibly changes depending on the direction of the wind and tidal movement. Here you will have plenty of free time to swim, snorkel and sunbathe. Your skipper will drop you off at a small pier on the beach and meet you there when it is time to head to your next stop.
“Remaining time will be allotted to panoramic cruise.”
- Hvar Island - Our next stop is ZeÄevo islet, only 10-15 minutes away from Golden Horn. ZeÄevo is an unpopulated islet in the archipelago of Hvar and it is protected as a significant landscape. It prides itself on untouched nature and crystal-clear turquoise seas. It is a perfect spot for snorkeling. There is also a beach bar that you can visit if you want to wind down a bit.
- Vrboska - After enjoying beach fun on ZeÄevo, we head to Vrboska village on Hvar island. Vrboska is a small tranquil village situated along a narrow fjord-like bay. Since the bay goes through the middle of the village, numerous bridges connect its two sides. Because of that fact, Vrboska is nicknamed “Little Venice.” We usually recommend our guests a spot for lunch. After lunch, you can wander through Vrboska’s small charming streets and enjoy the calmness of the village.
- Jelsa - After lunch, we head to Jelsa town, where you have some free time for a coffee or do a bit of sightseeing. Jelsa is an ancient town on Hvar island with numerous historical monuments that speak about its rich history.
- Mala Stiniva - Our last stop is in Mala Stiniva bay on Hvar island. Mala Stiniva is a picturesque stone bay with cliffs that vertically drop to the sea below. It is a stunning sight and a place that leaves no one indifferent. The sea is crystal-clear, and the cliffs are a great cliff jumping spot.
- Makarska - After Mala Stiniva, we head back to Makarska harbor. A panoramic cruise during which you can wind down as you take in the spectacular views of the islands and scenic Makarska Riviera coastline is a perfect way to end our day.

A lovely day at the lake - We had the good fortune to get Dino as skipper on our boat. He was a fantastic Guide and we had a lovely day all four of us. Swimming in several secluded bays, a drink on a lovely little island, a good lunch, yes everything you could wish for. Highly recommended.

Private boat hire all day trip - Boat was lovely, Christian the captain could not have been more attentive. Fabulous lunch and lots if swimming in secluded bays. We were lucky to be upgraded to a slightly bigger boat which was lovely. So given the choice, I would go for premium comfort. Would recommend.

Super nice day on the sea! - We rented a boat for 9 people at Josipa and Marijo and had a fantastic day around the island of Brac. The two are super relaxed and totally sweet. Communication in advance was also perfect and every request was answered quickly.
After a short but professional briefing and two signatures we were ready to leave. Before, we got some tips for spots that were all great. Hardly any of the bays had more than 2-4 other boats anchored.
We would book here again immediately. From front to back perfect in terms of boat run-off and condition/equipment. Thank you from all of us!

We would absolutely book here again. Perfect from start to finish in terms of the process and condition/equipment of the boat. Many thanks from all of us!

Great day at sea! - My family and I took a private boat tour with Evoo as our captain. Our tour was of the Golden Horn and North Hvar island, with a couple of additional smaller island stops for snorkeling, seaside drinks, swimming and cliff jumping. We upgraded to a comfort level speed boat which was in great condition and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed island hopping and our boat ride. The weather was perfect and we had a great day on the sea. We used Evoo’s snorkeling equipment and took his recommendation for lunch at a restaurant on the island of Hvar that he booked for us. I liked that this boat tour included fuel. Evoo spoke English really well, which was helpful for us and he was great with our kids. We highly recommend this tour. We booked it online a couple of weeks in advance of our trip and confirmed all reservation plans via email.

Best day this summer - This was our first family boat trip and it completely exceeded our expectations. Our skipper Mario was extremely kind, he showed us numerous coves that we would not have found on our own. Everything was at a high level from the first contact and booking confirmation to the excellent ship and service, I recommend it!
