Lovely boat trip with very charismatic captain - (English below) Ótimo dia no barco. Petar é muito legal e carismático. Ele explicou todos os lugares que fomos e eu pude aproveitar belíssimos pontos, mergulhando com snorkel e relaxando na praia. Também tive uma ótima refeição em um restaurante com vista para o mar. Alguns pontos são de muita aventura, mas valem a pena. Eu amei tudo, e faria novamente. 😊😄
Great day at the boat, Petar it’s really nice and charismatic. He explain every place we went and I could enjoy really beautiful spots; snorkelling and chilling at the beach. I also had a good meal in the restaurant with a view of the sea. Some spots are very adventurous, but worthy.
I loved everything, I would do it again for sure.

This is a vacation. - Wonderful experience! Marin is the skipper who accompanied us throughout the day. What about: helpful and kind, nice, prepared and interesting while telling you information about the places, the islands, the history of the places visited. He speaks mainly English, but also chews a few words of Italian. However for those with a basic - school level of English, it is all super understandable (coming from one who does not speak good English).
The day is long, it starts at 8 am and ends after 6 pm, but you wish it would never end (at least I didn't want to): the sailing stretches are interspersed with swimming breaks and snorkling in crystal clear waters full of fish, in some places it really feels like being in the Maldives. If you do not have your equipment Marin provides you with masks and even the Go Pro to take pictures underwater that at the end of the day runs you on what's app. If you don't bring lunch, in the middle of the day there is a break on an island with a lighthouse where you will find bathrooms, services and even a restaurant with normal prices (Recommendation in the morning before leaving to go to the bathroom, because as Marin says, until lunch the bathroom is the sea!).
In the various breaks we saw the wreck of the ship (beware of the current which is very strong), the war tunnels where submarines hid, the cave accessible by swimming (beautiful), and in all this Marin also offers you drinks including beers during the day. Everything is perfect.
Super recommended, the experience is absolutely deserving, but above all Marin is great at making you feel comfortable and make you stay a whole day in absolute chill. Money well spent, time well invested, if you catch a sunny day like ours you could not wish for anything else.

Beautiful way to relax and enjoy the sea. - Nice speedboat, small group, managed to avoid the crowds, so we could enjoy the places that were beautiful, by the way. The guide was very nice, kind and knowledgeable. It was a wonderful tour.

A dream - During this tour we have been to every unique spot on the island of Dugi. We were lucky to have the best weather and thanks to our guide Petar we were able to learn some more.
The tour went all day, but is feasible for everyone and did not become boring.
We had an unforgettable day and would book a tour at Petar any time again.
Thanks for the lovely holiday memory.
Greetings from Germany

Great experience! - We went on the tour with our kid of 7 year, ignoring that it was indicated for ages over 15. The tour is very dynamic, and in the favourable weather and sea conditions we had no issues whatsoever (you need to be able to swim in high water and jump from the boat, though). The locations were extremely beautiful, and we enjoyed each and every spot. The crew recommends lunch in a nice place next to Vis lighthouse but we had brought our own lunch, so we could spend more time swimming. All in all, a very pleasant day, which we would highly recommend if you happen to be in Zadar.

Once in a lifetime experience - This was one of the best tours I have done while in Croatia. Everywhere we went was stunning and my favourite was Gobulinka Cave. Marin was our skipper and guide who was very knowledgeable and very friendly! I had a great time and would definitely return! A unique experience!
