About the experience

Leave the ordinary behind and set sail into the breathtaking beauty of the Adriatic. From the vibrant city of Split, embark on a full-day journey through hidden coves, crystal-clear bays, and sun-soaked beaches that feel like a world away. This is your chance to dive into turquoise waters, paddle along secluded coastlines, and discover the untouched charm of Croatia’s island gems—all in one unforgettable day.

We depart Split at 9:00 AM and head toward Drvenik Veliki, specifically the stunning Krknjaši Bay, often called the "Blue Lagoon" for its incredibly transparent sea—perfect for snorkeling or a refreshing morning swim. From there, we cruise to the island of Čiovo, anchoring in the tranquil Labaduza Bay, a hidden paradise ideal for floating in peace or sunbathing on deck. The journey continues with a scenic stop in Pirčina Bay before reaching Okrug Gornji, home to the lively Copacabana Beach, where you can enjoy a seaside restaurant lunch if you wish. To top it all off, we end the trip in Racetinovac Bay, a quiet cove where a floating cocktail bar often drifts by—offering the perfect way to toast to the day.

What makes this experience stand out is the relaxed, flexible pace and the variety of landscapes in one single tour. Whether you're diving into the sea with our included snorkeling gear, paddling along a quiet bay, or chilling with a drink from the onboard cooler full of ice, everything is designed for your comfort and joy. Unlike crowded party boats, this tour focuses on authentic experiences, personalized service, and hidden coastal treasures—creating a day that's truly yours

    Non professional people. The boat has no mooring in the port. It is difficult to board. I asked before I rented the boat if there was fridge and ice and it was confirmed. When we arrive there was a portable fridge with no ice. The skipper told me that he couldn’t find ice anywhere. After telling him to speak with his boss the ice appeared. We pay for the skipper in advance, before we start the boat trip. He also told us that the fuel cost should be paid at the end of the day and that total amount was 150€. He didn’t explain anything during the trip. When we stop for swimming he always jumped to the see without asking if we need anything or even if we want to use any of the amenities in the boat. In the way back, when we were in Trogir he told us that the engine was not working properly. He left us in the port and wanted us to pay 200€ por the fuel, in exchange he should pay for the taxi. We told him that the service was not completed, that as he was leaving us in Trogir we shouldn’t pay for that amount of money, and that in the morning we had agreed to pay 150€. At the end we paid 100€ and the taxi back home. Very bad experience. By the way, he left the port with the boat when it is supposed no to be working properly.

    The day on the boat was great, our skipper was very nice and looked after us. The clickandboat site however is manipulative and hides the actual cost of booking. Once we cleared the breakwater we were informed of a €250-€275 fuel charge. I was able (after the fact) find mention of it in the small print, but the facade of the booking site trying to be be open and transparent about the fees is not true. The owner when confirming the price from the website NEVER mentioned the additional 50% charge in his messages we sent back and forth. It’s these types of experiences that ruin holidays. DO NOT book this boat or use this website.

Flexible and adaptable to changing weather conditions and the wishes of iur group. He was very patient with our young children and went out of his way to make the day fun for them as well.

    We had the best day. We were a group of 9 people. Our skipper was amazing, the perfect mix of being involved with us and also leaving us to have fun. We chose to have lunch, which they arranged. We highly recommend this as was a georgous waterside restaurant, that we had to get a little shuttle boat off our boat to get to. Food was amazing, and sat there made us feel so treated!. A few of our party sometimes get sea sick but as the boat was fast, this wasn't a problem and the speed made it really fun. Paddle board and snorkels were included. We all didn't want the day to end and totally recommend. We looked at lots of boats and glad this was the one we choose. Thankyou for a perfect day. xx

    Our Click&Boat adventure, led by the incredibly adept Ahmed, exceeded every expectation. Even in the face of unpredictable weather, Ahmed’s exceptional navigational skills and deep understanding of the region ensured we experienced the best of the Croatian coast. Expertly maneuvering around rain clouds, he led us to stunning islands and pristine waters, always a step ahead of the weather. This skillful orchestration made our experience genuinely a 10/10. Ahmed is undoubtedly a rising star in this business, his hospitality, knowledge, and dedication to his guests truly standing out. With his vibrant personality and professional prowess, Ahmed transformed a rainy day into an unforgettable voyage on the Adriatic Sea. A trip with Ahmed at the helm comes highly recommended for anyone seeking an extraordinary maritime adventure.

    Damir was excellent. A storm hit in the afternoon but he completely re-designed the schedule on the move so we not only missed the storm but would not have even known there was one! Excellent choices of swim spots and restaurants. Amazing places we would never have discovered on our own. Communication before the trip was also first class.

    We’ve had an amazing day on the water. After being picked up at a location of our choice we discussed the day plan with te captain. He had a few suggestions on the spot and had also messaged us the day before to ask if we were interested in lunch ashore. He advised a wonderful restaurant in a lagoon and he had even made the reservation for us. The boat itself is a 29 footer with a massive v8 under the hood. Classic sound but you’ll be the loudest in the bay so you’re going to get some attention. Apparently it’s the only one of its kind in Croatia. The bimini provides good shade from the sun. The swim-platform is wide and jumping of into the refreshing Croatian waters is amazing. There’s a SUP and some snorkeling equipment on board too. Added bonus: a fresh water shower. We spent about €250 on fuel for the day and were on the water from 9am to 6pm. Overall an amazing experience on a fantastic boat with a wonderful captain.

    Very personable, professional, experienced and helpful skipper with a really great boat! We had a wonderful day on board with a lot of speed, a great sound, beautiful. Snorkeling spots and beach restaurants on islands that we would never have found without a skipper, which were really sensational. The skipper took care of everything himself there, from the reservation to the order, we felt very comfortable, thank you ?

    Very well! We arrived at 9 a.m. and returned at 6 p.m. to the very port where Damir picked us up. We stopped at the Blue Lagoon to swim in the turquoise water and take full advantage of the sun. We then took a tour of several islands. Top day! We were just asked 300 EURO for petrol at the end of the trip, remember to have enough with you.

He brought a fishing pole for my kids because we asked, he took us to great spots, and then he took us where we could cook our loot. We had a fantastic day out on the water and ir was absolutely worth the time and money. Best day!

    Damir has been a very nice host and we had a great trip. A couple of things that could be or need to be improved: - The enige on the boat is really loud, creating a terrible noise in the back of the boat. Not really a pleasure cruise. - It would be nice to agree on a set price inc gas and driver before getting on the boat. (we ended up paying around 70 euro more than what we expected) - There were not enough snorkeling masks for everyone. And a tube option would be great. - For the amount of money paid (970 euro for 1 day) it would have been nice to see a bit more variety (caves etc). That would in hindsight have been better to agree on on forehand.
