Rovinj's Old Town lit up from the water, a glass of wine in hand, cormorants diving off Katarina Island

The experience

How do you see Rovinj's Old Town when it matters most? After dark, when the cathedral and harbor buildings glow against the night sky and the crowds thin out. This private speedboat departs from the city center just after sunset and spends 40 minutes on the water: long enough to circle the illuminated shoreline and cross to Katarina Island, where cormorants and seagulls rest along the rocks. You're not on a shared boat with strangers. It's your group alone on the Adriatic.

Wine or beer comes with the tour, along with bottled water and soda. The guide (speaking English or Italian, whichever you need) points out the cathedral from the sea perspective and the wildlife along Katarina's coastline. The sea breeze picks up as the light fades, and the romantic setup is there if you want it, but the real draw is the vantage: seeing a whole medieval town lit up from the water is not something you get on foot.

Hotel pickup is included, so you don't arrange transport to the departure point. The boat is insured and all fees are built in. Infants travel on an adult's lap. Service animals are welcome. The tour suits all fitness levels. You're seated the whole time.
