Private boat tours
from Hvar

We're a booking platform for handpicked, licensed boat operators in Hvar. We take care of the booking and secure payment so you can reserve with confidence. The tour itself is operated by a local skipper who owns and runs the boat and issues your official invoice. After booking, you'll receive the operator's direct contact to arrange the details of your day at sea.

You book and pay online by card. Payment is processed securely by Stripe, and your card details never reach our servers. On the day, only optional extras such as lunch or cave entrance tickets are paid on-site, in cash or by card.

Yes. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure to receive a refund; the booking fee is non-refundable. Cancellations within 24 hours of departure are non-refundable. Need to change the date instead? Rescheduling is available more than 48 hours before departure, but a date change is not a refund: your total stays the same. If the new date is more expensive you pay the difference; if it is cheaper, no refund is issued.

Safety comes first. Specific stops such as the Blue Cave depend on sea conditions, weather and harbour-authority access, so they are never guaranteed. If conditions require it, your skipper may adjust the route for safety. When a reasonable alternative of comparable value is available, the tour still goes ahead and counts as provided. Uncomfortable weather is not the same as unsafe weather, and not liking the forecast is not a cancellation right. If a tour genuinely cannot run, the operator will contact you directly. The operator monitors conditions and reaches out 24 to 48 hours before your tour.

Every tour always includes your private boat, a local skipper and fuel, with no hidden fees. The price you see is the total for the whole boat. Anything else, such as snorkeling gear, drinking water or an ice-box, depends on the boat, so check the What's included list on each tour and the boat's details. Lunch (your choice of restaurant) and cave entrance tickets, like the Blue or Green Cave, are always paid separately by guests.

The Blue Cave entrance is paid separately on-site. Prices vary by season: approximately €18 to €24 for adults and €8 to €12 for children (ages 6 to 12). Under 6 free. Cash and cards accepted.

Yes. As it's a private tour, you're welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks. Whether a boat also provides extras like an ice-box or bottled water depends on the boat, so check the What's included list on each tour. If you'd like a proper meal, you can usually add a lunch stop at a coastal restaurant, paid separately. Alcohol is fine in moderation; for everyone's safety, your skipper does not drink while operating the boat.

It depends on the boat. Not every boat has a toilet on board; the boats that do are marked in the boat's details. When there is no toilet on board, your skipper plans comfort stops at beaches and harbours along the way. It's your private charter, so just let your skipper know when you'd like a stop.

Swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, camera. Optional: water shoes and a light cover-up. Some boats provide snorkeling gear, water or an ice-box, so check the tour's What's included to see what's on board. Bring cash or card for lunch and cave tickets.

Every tour is 100% private. Just your group and your skipper, no strangers and no rigid schedule. You set the pace and can linger longer at the spots you love. The route is fixed for safety and depends on the sea and weather, but when conditions allow your skipper is glad to adapt where possible.

Yes. Every tour includes a local skipper who knows Hvar's coastline, hidden bays, and the best spots. No boating license or experience needed.

Your operator confirms the exact meeting point after booking. Each operator sets their own departure point, so it is shown with your booking rather than here. Your confirmation email and your booking page carry the precise location, how to find it, when to arrive and your skipper's contact. Have a special request? Message your skipper in advance via WhatsApp.

Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes before departure. Your skipper will give a quick safety briefing and go over the route with you.

Every boat carries full passenger insurance, life jackets in all sizes (including children), first-aid kit, and is regularly inspected. The operator's skipper holds a valid license and follows Croatian maritime safety regulations.

Yes. These private tours are ideal for families. Flexible pace, shallow swimming bays, and life jackets in all sizes. Your skipper is experienced with children on board.

This depends on the boat. Each boat is run by its own operator, so some welcome well-behaved pets and others don't. Tell us before you book and we'll check with the operator to confirm whether pets are allowed on that boat.

You can fine-tune the route within the booked tour: more time at a specific beach, skip a stop, or add a lunch stop along the way. The destinations themselves are fixed (e.g. Red Rocks tour stays on the Red Rocks route). For different islands like Korčula or Vis, please book the matching tour.

Full-day tours run from approximately 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Timing is flexible and can be adjusted with your skipper.
