Split Islands Swimming Cruise: Brač & Šolta with Open Bar
Two islands, two bays, one boat with the drinks already paid for
A 7-hour boutique swimming cruise from Split aboard the yacht Polaris visits two Croatian islands—Brač and Šolta—with time to swim and snorkel in secluded bays, explore a fishing village, and eat lunch on the water. The boat holds a small number of passengers by design, and the open bar runs the whole day, so you're not managing a tab or rationing time between stops.

The Experience
The boat leaves Split at 9:30 from dock 7 in the city port. By 10:30 you're anchored in a bay on Brač island in water clear enough to see the bottom, with the rest of the morning free to swim, jump from the boat, or use the snorkeling gear and paddleboards stowed on deck. At 1 p.m. you sail toward Šolta, and lunch arrives while you're crossing—a choice of meat, fish, or vegetarian. By 1:30 you're docked in Stomorska, a small fishing village on Šolta's waterfront, where you can walk the stone streets, sit at the local beach a hundred meters from the boat, or stay aboard. The return cruise to Split takes two hours and lands you back at the port by 4:30.
Coffee and a croissant wait when you board. Throughout the day, the crew brings wine, beer, and soft drinks to wherever you're sitting—no ordering, no separate bill. A restroom is on the boat, and Wi-Fi runs the whole trip. The yacht is air-conditioned, and the passenger limit is strict enough that you're not packed in with a hundred other people; that's the whole point of calling it a boutique cruise. The operator notes plainly that this is not a party boat—if someone drinks to excess, they stop serving alcohol to that person.
Bring a bathing suit, towel, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat. The tour runs in favorable weather; if conditions turn, you get an alternative date or a full refund. Children must have an adult with them. The minimum drinking age is 18, and strong spirits are available to buy if you want them, but they're not part of the open bar.
What’s included
- Coffee and croissant at departure.
- freshly prepared lunch with a choice of three menus.
- unlimited wine, beer, and soft drinks throughout the day.
