Swim in a hidden cove, then watch the sun drop behind the mountains from the water.

A 90-minute sunset speedboat tour from Makarska takes you to Puntica Bay on Brač for a swim stop with beach swings and clear turquoise water, then returns with a final 10-minute sunset viewing in front of Makarska's main beach. The Narwhal Orca 1000 speedboat carries you in premium shock-absorbing seats with sun shade, and an English-speaking skipper guides the route. Snorkelling equipment is included; the boat anchors in 4–6 meters of water, and you swim from the boat to shore.

The Experience

What makes this tour different from a standard speedboat ride is the boat itself. The Narwhal Orca 1000 is built for comfort—every seat has a shock-absorbing backrest and its own sun shade, which matters when you're on the water for 90 minutes and the sun is still high. The ride from Makarska to Brač takes 25 minutes across open sea with views of the Makarska Riviera and the Biokovo mountains rising behind it.

Puntica Bay is the stop most people come for. It's a hidden cove on Brač, reachable only by boat, with a small beach and a pair of swings anchored in the water—the kind of detail that makes the place feel quieter than the main beaches. You get around 40 minutes here to swim, snorkel with the included equipment, or just float and look back at the coastline. The boat anchors in 4–6 meters of water, so you'll swim from the boat to shore; the water is clear enough that snorkelling is worth doing.

The return journey builds toward the sunset. On the way back to Makarska, the tour stops for about 10 minutes in front of the main beach as the sun drops behind the mountains and the coastline turns gold in the evening light. Then you're back at the harbor. The whole thing runs 90 minutes from start to finish, with an English-speaking skipper steering and narrating the route.
