You pick the islands, the skipper handles the boat and navigation. Snorkeling gear and safety equipment come with you; fuel costs extra and varies by distance. The day is yours from 8:30am until 5pm, with flexible return times if you're on a cruise schedule.
There's something about standing on a boat that's yours for the day — no fixed route, no schedule that doesn't fit, just the water and the choice of where to go. That's what makes this private boat trip from Trogir different. You get a skipper who knows the islands, snorkeling gear ready, and the freedom to spend three hours at the Blue Lagoon on Drvenik if that's what you want, or skip it entirely and head straight to the quieter bays of Šolta instead. The boat leaves at 8:30am, but the timing is flexible — if you're coming from a cruise ship, they'll work around your return time so you're not rushing back to the port.
The islands themselves are the draw. The Blue Lagoon is the obvious one — crystal-clear water, a floating bar if you want a drink, room to swim and snorkel without feeling crowded. But Šolta is the one that stays with you: peaceful, not overrun, the kind of place where the water is still clear and the towns feel like they belong to the people who live there, not to the tourists passing through. Brač is bigger, usually with a lunch stop in Milna. Hvar gets busy, but it's the most popular island on the coast for a reason. The Pakleni Islands are a group of 26 scattered bays, each one different — the kind of place where you can anchor and float for an hour and hear almost nothing. You won't see all of them in one day, so the skipper helps you pick what fits the time and the weather.
What's included is straightforward: the boat, the skipper, snorkeling equipment, and safety gear. Fuel isn't included in the price — that's the one thing to know going in — so you'll pay extra depending on where you go and how far. Medium and premium boats are both available. The day runs from morning until 5pm, but again, if you need to be back earlier for a ship departure, that's handled. It's the kind of trip where you're not following someone else's itinerary; you're making it as you go.
