The Experience

The Junior sits at the Split harbor dock, a wooden sailing ship built in 1903, her hull painted deep blue and weathered by a century of Adriatic crossings. You board at 9am with coffee and a croissant in hand, and the crew casts off toward the Dalmatian coast. The first two hours are pure cruising — the water shifts from harbor gray to turquoise as the mainland falls away, and you're already swimming in your mind before the boat slows near Maslinica on Šolta Island. The bay there is small and sheltered, ringed by a fishing village that looks like it hasn't changed much since the ship was built. You get an hour to swim, snorkel, or just float and watch the limestone cliffs. The open bar runs the whole time.

After 45 minutes of sailing, lunch arrives — grilled tuna steak or chicken with a side dish, or vegetarian if that's what you ordered — and then the Blue Lagoon appears. This is the stop everyone comes for, and it lives up to it. The water is so clear you can see the sand fifteen feet down, and it's shallow enough that you're never out of your depth. You get an hour and a half here, which is enough time to swim, snorkel with the gear they provide, float on one of the inflatable rings, or just sit on a sunbed and let the day happen around you. The crew brings out fresh seasonal fruit while you're in the water. No rushing, no schedule pressure — it's built into the day.

The final stop is St. Fumija bay, another 45 minutes of sailing, and it feels quieter than the Blue Lagoon, less crowded. Same crystal-clear water, same ladder access from the boat, same hour to yourself. By the time you're heading back to Split, the sun is lower and the coast looks different — softer, golden. The return takes until around 5:30pm, depending on the sea. The open bar is still running. Most people on the boat are talking to each other by then, swapping photos and stories, which is how these days tend to go when everyone's been in the same water and shared the same lunch.

What makes this different from other Blue Lagoon tours is that it's all one boat — no transfers between operators, no surprises about what's included. Breakfast, lunch, snorkeling gear, sunbeds, fruit, the open bar from start to finish. You show up at the harbor, and everything else is arranged. The ship itself is part of it; sailing on a wooden boat that's been doing this route for over a century feels different than a speedboat, even if it takes longer to get places.

What’s included

Your day includes hotel pickup (public transportation is available nearby), departure from Split harbor at 9:00 AM, breakfast with croissants and beverages, three swimming and snorkeling stops at Maslinica, the Blue Lagoon, and St. Fumija bay, a grilled lunch with your choice of tuna, chicken, or vegetarian option, an open bar throughout the entire cruise, complimentary snorkeling equipment and inflatable rings, fresh seasonal fruit, use of sunbeds, WiFi onboard, and return to Split harbor by approximately 5:30 PM.

Is this one for you?A good fit if you want the Blue Lagoon and surrounding islands in one day without arranging transport or worrying about what's included — everything from breakfast through the open bar is on the boat. Plan for a full day out from 9am to 5:30pm, which is what lets you spend unhurried time at each of the three stops.
