Overview

Skip the crowded group boats — this is a private tour with a local crew, shaped around you. We're one of the oldest boating companies on Hvar, and our skippers are locals who grew up in these coves, proud to show you the best side of their home waters.

On Hvar's wild south shore: snorkel beneath the famous Red Rocks, jump from the cliffs, slip into a hidden cave, swim at Dubovica beach, and dive off the boat into the green lagoon of Borče. Across on the Pakleni islands: Mlini's turquoise shallows, a long lunch at Palmižana's sandy beach or the secluded bay of Vlaka, and a drink at legendary Laganini or Carpe Diem on Stipanska.

You won't rush through it all — that's the point. A full day has time for around six stops, a half day for three or four, and you plan the route with your skipper. When conditions allow, there's room for a bonus stop in a quiet cove like Perna or Soline.

Snorkeling masks are available on request, and with Bluetooth stereo, the soundtrack is yours too.

What's Included

  • Use of Snorkelling equipment
  • Use of icebox

    Q: Will I get seasick on Private Speed Boat Tour of Hvar South Shore & Pakleni islands?
