Family run, locally born

About Us

Private boat charters from Hvar town since 2019. Licensed skipper, fully insured, no booking commissions.

Born on Hvar, sailing these waters since childhood

We are a small family charter based in Hvar town. Our skipper, Prošper Barbarić, grew up on the island and has spent every summer on these waters. Today the crew runs daily private tours to the Pakleni archipelago, the caves around Vis and Biševo, and hidden coves on Hvar's south coast. The kind of stops most visitors never find on their own.

How we run our charters

Every tour is 100% private. Just your group, your skipper, your day. We adapt the route to the sea, the wind and your pace. No fixed itinerary, no rushing to keep up with strangers. If the wind turns or you want a longer swim, we change plans on the fly.

Reviewed across every platform that matters
