“Doma was a great Skipper with a cheeky side! We had lots of fun on the speedboat despite the vase being closed. The islands were incredible and so beautiful. Only suggestion I would say is to add some speakers on the boat as we could not hear Doma talking from the back when approaching any stops.”

“The boat was lovely. It felt a little bit disorganised picking up and dropping off staff and guests in Brac before and after the trip - extending the day by 2 hours which wasn’t ideal! Advertised as 9 hours was actually 11 The timings were a little off all day - too little time swimming at the lagoon and too much time in the port stops especially the first ones and at Hvar Lack of info on places we visited and the promised fun atmosphere was lacking! Although info at vis was good”

4.Blue cave & Hvar, 5 islands speed boat tour with unique boats from Split

Leave Split at 7 a.m. for a small-group speedboat trip to the Blue Cave, Komiža, Stiniva Cove, Budikovac, Hvar, and the Pakleni islands. Skippers such as Luka, Simon, Viktor, and Tomo combine local stories, music, swimming stops, and practical island tips. The Blue Cave ticket costs extra.

“Honestly had the best day from start to finish, made the early start worthwhile. The skipper (Simon) was so friendly, brought good energy and vibes. Played a variety of music and gave us a chance to be DJ. He gave us some interesting facts at each stop and answered any questions we had. I had read some reviews on other similar trips, where the boat wasn’t comfortable. This wasn’t the case with this one, the boat was comfortable and ideal for the longer drives in between stops. No bad backs here! Everything we seen was just beautiful, can’t recommend enough.”
