Hvar & Pakleni Islands Private Boat Tour Saxdor 320

Anchor in turquoise lagoons and climb to Fortica fortress views, all from a boat that becomes your private beach club.

A private luxury boat tour departing from Trogir aboard the Saxdor 320 GTO, visiting Hvar Town, the Pakleni Islands and Milna over eight hours with a professional skipper and English-speaking guide. The boat's opening side terraces and sun deck transform it into a floating retreat while anchored, and you choose between secluded swimming coves, lively beach clubs on St. Klement island, or a quiet afternoon at Laganini beach. Snorkeling equipment, a SUP paddle board, towels, water and light snacks are included. The itinerary flexes to your pace. Stay longer in Hvar, skip a stop, or linger in the islands.

The experience

How do you spend a day on the Adriatic without renting your own boat or joining a crowded group? You book a private tour on the Saxdor 320 GTO, a boat built around comfort and flexibility. The skipper picks you up from Trogir or Split and handles the navigation while you settle onto the spacious sun deck or move between the shaded cabin and the open-air terraces. The route covers roughly an hour's run to Hvar Town, two hours exploring the Pakleni Islands, and a final stop in Milna on Brač island before the return to your departure point.

Hvar Town is the first stop, and you step straight off the boat onto the promenade instead of navigating a crowded port. The skipper gives you time to wander the alleyways and palaces, but the landmark most people climb to is Fortica fortress, perched above the town. The hike is steep but short, and the view from the top stretches across red rooftops to the Pakleni Islands: the kind of vantage that justifies the effort. You set the pace here. If you'd rather spend the two hours at a seaside bar or exploring the town at ground level, that works too.

The Pakleni Islands are where the day shifts from sightseeing to anchoring. These islands are a maze of hidden inlets and secluded coves, and the boat can reach spots larger vessels can't. You can dive or snorkel in clear water, post up on the sun deck with a bottle of wine, or paddle out on the SUP board. If you want lunch, St. Klement island, the largest of the Pakleni, has restaurants serving fresh fish and seafood. Laganini beach on Palmižana bay is famous for its lively atmosphere, cold cocktails and live music. If that doesn't appeal, quieter anchorages are a short boat ride away. The choice is yours, and the skipper knows the options.

Milna, a small village on Brač island, closes the day. You arrive with time for a local wine tasting or an afternoon cocktail on the promenade before the return journey to Trogir or Split. Snorkeling gear, towels, a SUP board, bottled water and light snacks are on board throughout.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I choose to depart from Split instead of Trogir?

Yes. The tour operates from either Trogir or Split. You select your departure point at checkout. The itinerary and duration remain the same regardless of which port you choose.

What's the hike up to Fortica fortress actually like?

Fortica sits high above Hvar Town, so the climb is steep but not long. The skipper gives you two hours in Hvar, which is enough time to make the walk and take in the views across the town and out to the Pakleni Islands. If climbing isn't your plan, you can spend the time at a bar or exploring the town instead.

Can I swim and snorkel at the Pakleni Islands, or do I just anchor and look?

You can swim, snorkel and dive. The boat anchors in secluded coves where the water is clear, and snorkeling equipment is included. You can also paddle out on the SUP board or simply relax on the sun deck while anchored.

What happens if I want to skip one of the stops or stay longer somewhere?

The tour is flexible. The skipper will adjust the itinerary to match your wishes. Stay longer in Hvar, spend more time in the islands, or skip Milna if you'd rather return earlier. Let the skipper know your preferences when you board.

Is lunch included, or do I pay separately at the restaurants?

Lunch is not included in the tour price. At St. Klement island or Laganini beach, you order and pay for food and drinks separately. Light snacks, water and soft drinks are provided on board.

How many people can fit on the Saxdor 320?

The boat is a private charter, so it accommodates your group. The Saxdor 320 is designed for small parties, giving everyone space on the sun deck and in the cabin without crowding.
