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 Zečevo islet, only 10-15 minutes away from Golden Horn. Zečevo 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 Zečevo, 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.

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!

Amazing day on the water! - We had an amazing day thanks to our skipper, Ivo, and the beautiful boats that Promare Boat Charter have. While seeing some of the more well known areas like Golden Horn Beach was fun, the best part was letting Ivo take us to coves and towns completely away from the crowds. In some cases we were the only boat around and had the perfect blue water all to ourselves. We swam in 6 different coves, jumped off cliffs and had a late lunch in a local Brac restaurant, all thanks to Ivo. We were in Croatia for a week and our day in the boat was our family's unanimous choice for best day. This is an absolute must if you visit Makarksa.

Best. Day. In Croatia! - We are a family of 5, all girls. My mother and daughters and I had an absolutely wonderful time on this trip, and Viktor was a great guide. The water was of course amazing, but beyond that Viktor made sure we all had a lot of fun. From my 76 year old mother to my 14 year old daughter, he was attentive to everyone’s interests throughout the day. We also had a lovely lunch at the restaurant he recommended and we highly recommend it also. Thank you for a lovely day!

Great "doživljaj" (experience) - I had booked this trip for me and my friends and this was the best part of our holiday in Croatia. Each place we visited was beautiful and we had great time. I asked the team if we can do pickup near our hotel and it was super easy to arrange.
