Communication throughout the initial enquiry, booking and on the day was great. Crew were really helpful and friendly and boat was fab. Thank you!

everything went great!

Nice crew and great boat trip!

Amazing experience to start our week in Split - Marin & the crew onboard were fantastic and so accommodating. Lead the way from start the finish with experiences and recommendations. Boat was very spacious and comfortable with plenty of amenities. Very appreciative of the time we had onboard. 100% recommend to anyone considering.

Great service. We enjoyed the ride

Best thing you can do. Thank you for the incredible experience.

Amazing trip! Very friendly and experienced skipper, great boat, and beautiful places. We were incredibly lucky to see dolphins in the open sea — it was unforgettable! A real pleasure, highly recommended!

Great recs, a great skipper and great communication through the whole process.

Everything was perfect. The skipper was really kind and welcoming. We swam in really nice coves, was quite comfortable trip.

We had a lovely day sailing from Split on Marin’s boat. Communication was quick and every effort was made to ensure we had the best experience from booking through to the lead up to our trip and the day itself. Our skipper was friendly and really informative about the local area and history. Would highly recommend.

The best days are boat days, we truly had the best time. The team organised a lunch reservation on Solta (the food was delicious) the skipper and partner were so accommodating, we stopped at multiple beautiful spots for swimming, my favourite was the Blue Lagoon- best day! ☺️

We had the perfect day! Would definitely recommend:)

We had an amazing time on the boat! Everything was perfect – the boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. A special thanks to our skipper Marin, who was not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire trip. He made sure we felt safe and relaxed the whole time. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a great day on the water!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Marin and the crew! From the very start, the communication was excellent, and Marin was incredibly kind and attentive. The trip itself was fantastic, even though the wind was strong and made reaching the Blue Lagoon a bit of a challenge at first. However, the skipper's experience made the journey smooth and enjoyable despite the conditions. Every moment of the trip was memorable, and the crew went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness—even surprising us with a bottle of wine, which was a lovely gesture for our engagement! We truly appreciated the hospitality and the effort that went into making our day special. Thank you, Marin and team, for an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend booking with you and will definitely consider returning in the future. Wishing you continued success and all the best!

I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but I feel it’s important to share our experience—especially since this was one of the most important days of our trip, something we had been planning for months while visiting Split from the U.S. From the start, I had specifically mentioned that I wanted to stop at a beach club with music and a lively atmosphere. The captain or organizer suggested two options. While one was decent, the other turned out to only operate on weekends—something we weren’t told beforehand. That stop ended up being a complete waste of time, and unfortunately, we made two stops there. It felt like poor planning and a lack of attention to the details I clearly communicated. On top of that, the yacht’s speakers weren’t working, which really killed the vibe. Music is a big part of the experience on a boat day like this, and when we brought it up, the response was just, “It was working the day before,” with no apology or real effort to fix it. That kind of response came off as dismissive, and it added to the overall frustration, Specially when I told him it’s my husband’s 50 th and wanted to be perfect We’ve done boat trips in other countries before and had amazing experiences. Sadly, this one just didn’t compare. I genuinely don’t like giving anyone a bad review, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending this to any of my friends or family. I really hope they take this feedback seriously because with a little more care and effort, the experience could have been so much better. *****ANSWER FROM THE OWNER***** Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear that the trip did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to highlight a few important facts to give future guests a clearer picture. Music was playing throughout the entire boat trip, and the speakers were fully functional. We understand that volume levels can be a matter of personal preference, but it’s important to note that our boat is not a party boat. Regarding the beach clubs you visited, we sent you a list of the locations in advance, complete with descriptions and photos, which you personally confirmed were suitable. The claim that there was "no music" at these venues is not accurate, as they are well-known for their chill-out music atmosphere, not for party clubs with DJs—something that was also clearly stated beforehand. We appreciate all feedback, but feel it is important to clarify incorrect statements that could mislead future guests. Wishing you all the best in your future travels. Kind regards, Marin

Such a fun day! Would recommend. Perfect boat for exploring with friends/family.

Our trip with Tony was really awesome, he took us to different snorkeling spots and hidden coves, away from the crowds. We were a little late because of traffic but it was no issue and Tony was very nice about it. Would definitely recommend!🌞🌟

Everything was perfect. The crew, Mia and Bruno, were very nice all the time, they were very attentive to us. Regarding Marín, we had very good communication with him, and he made everything easy for us. We spent a wonderful day. It is highly recommended.

Great trip really fun

Our boat experience was excellent, the hosts were very informative and accommodating, whilst they showed us some beautiful areas in and around Split. Would highly recommend if you are looking to have a lively experience with friends, or a nice relaxed day trip! Would return again too.

Everything was just perfect. The boat was comfortable and clean, the crew were very nice, friendly and flexibile. We enjoyed our trip a lot, and absolutely recommend this experience for everyone.

It was perfect for a half day. Thanks again

We had an excellent time with Marin. The communication was very seamless before the trip and Marin picked an amazing day trip route for us. Highly recommended!

Great trip! Marin was very accommodating and we had an amazing time. Thank you! :)

It was truly an amazing experience, we enjoyed every minute of it. Mia and Bruno made our afternoon very pleasant. The service was outstanding, and we won’t hesitate to book it again next time we’re here! We were very happy! Congratulations!!

The best time of our lives..It was great.. Jusssst perfect..We are so happy .. Thank you for everything.. Marin is the Best!❤️

We organized our tour with Marin, who was easy to communicate with and helped us set a great itinerary. Our crew was Skipper Bruno and hostess Mia. Both were fantastic - personable, helpful, and attentive. Trogir was a beautiful medieval town, where we stopped for coffee and breakfast. Swimming and floating in the Blue Lagoon was breathtaking. Piña coladas and mojitos from Anthony, on the floating cocktail boat, was an added bonus. Lunch on Solta at Restaurant Turanj was fabulous. We literally stepped off our boat and into the seaside restaurant. We split a red scorpion fish - it was so good. Lunch was a highlight! (Thanks Marin for making a reservation for us.) Last stop was another swim stop by the shipwreck. Snorkeling and floating in the Adriatic was marvelous. A 10 out of 10 day! Highly recommend! If you’re thinking about booking this trip, do it! It’s a highlight of our time in Croatia so far.

We had a great time on this boat! We booked with owner Marin but our skipper was a different person, also named Marin. Owner Marin was communicative and helpful in planning an itinerary and making lunch arrangements. Skipper Marin was equally helpful in suggesting changes to the itinerary when the weather (and water) was colder than expected. Skipper Marin also provided lots of great information and recommendations as we island hopped from Split. Would gladly book these guys again!

An amazing outing, the skeeper Marin is super nice, made us comfortable, made everything custom made and us to let the music we love. A magic boat ride

Everything was perfect! We had a great time!

We had a great time with Bruno who took us on a great tour and was very accommodating and flexible with our group. Thanks very much!

Really good skipper, very welcoming and informative. Would definitely recommend.

Best boat ride ever skipper Iva was good and has loads of patience he is very calm and an excellent driver. Highly recommend using this boat.

Hands down the best boat in split. Marin coordinated a great day and communicated clearly, everything was perfect. Bruno is the best skipper in town and he made sure we had the best day. All of the gear you need for a great time is on the boat, speaker, snorkel gear, cooler, shower! Highly recommend this boat!

We had a really fantastic day! Best day in Croatia, we visited some amazing spots and Bruno our schipper made our day even more fantastic!

We booked a private boat for 6 adults and 2 young children (1years and 3 years old). We really did not want to book a group boat trip because of the set schedules and amount of people on the boats so a private boat was a perfect option. The boat was absolutely perfect for our group, plenty of space to store folded down pushchairs as well. At one point our youngest was asleep in the pushchair on the boat. Bruno was our captain and he was flexible with the itinerary for the day and allowed us to stay longer or leave as desired by our group. The blue lagoon was beautiful and at one point we were the only boat there! We would highly recommend booking with Marin and his communication through the whole process was great. The boat trip was certainly the highlight of our holiday.

Here's the corrected version: Marin promptly replied to my message and arranged a last-minute trip for us (a group of 5 people). The trip was amazing! We had such a good time. Ivo was great; he is very nice and friendly. If any friend asks me about a boat in Croatia, I will definitely give them Marin’s contact.

We had a great trip on Marin's boat. Bruno gave us fantastic recommendations for swimming spots and restaurants and let us choose your itinerary. The boat is comfortable and fast, but small enough to get into the busy spots.

The excursion was great! Bruno the skipper was great, he took us to the most beautiful places in the area, we really enjoyed the day.

We had a very nice day! Friendly skipper, good communication with office also!

Couldn’t recommend enough! There was shade on the boat which was really important as I burn easily. There was a cooler box and snorkelling equipment available (although there weren’t many fish where we stopped!). The guides were brilliant and worked at the pace we wanted, couldn’t have asked for better! Definitely stop at the blue lagoon for swimming if you book this trip!

We had a brilliant day on board the boat. Our skipper (Bruno) made it great fun for all the family and took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch and was very knowledgeable on all of the areas. We would 100% recommend using Marin for any trips! 10/10

So good boat and skipper. Best boat trip ever

We recently enjoyed a fantastic boat trip, and I can't recommend it enough! From start to finish, everything was impeccably organized. Our skipper, Danny, was the highlight of the day—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had an amazing time. There were seven of us, and the boat was spacious and comfortable, allowing us to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. One of the best parts was the flexibility. We could decide when we wanted to stop for lunch, and Danny even made a reservation for us at a great spot. It was the perfect way to break up the day. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we can't wait to do it again!

We had a great day ! Good communication , great sites to visit and staff were flexible for our wishes . Would recommend

Great day with these guys! 8 people including kids, best boat day ever. Highly recommended if you want to spend a relaxing and fun day, would always do it again! Thank you

We had a very nice trip!

Me and my family had the best day ever. The guys were really god with advice and help us with reservation for lunch If you consider a day on a boat we can only recommend Marin Thank you vey much for making our day perfect🙂🌞

Thank you for a wonderful experience! Everything was as promised and we enjoyed a lot! We highly recommend this boat and the skipper’s service if you prefer a private boat tour in Split!

Great boat trip with a great skipper. Fast and luxurious boat.

The ship was luxurious and comfortable, and the crew was very friendly and experienced. We were especially surprised by the free cold water and juices on board, as well as the diving equipment. Highly recommended for traveling with this company!!

The crew Bruno and Marin were amazing and very professional, the boat was a perfect size and all the locations were beautiful 5 stars and highly recommended

Alles top

Excellent day exploring Split and surrounding areas with my family and small children. Thankful for these special, fun memories! Highly recommend!!

Had a great day on this boat would recommend it to anybody!

A private boat tour from Split offers an unforgettable experience of exploring the Adriatic coast and its islands. The tour typically includes visits to beautiful destinations like Hvar, Brač, Šolta, and various hidden coves. Marin was very kind and responded to all our questions promptly, exceeding our expectations for a one-day boat trip.With a professional crew ensuring safety and comfort, the flexible itinerary can be tailored to your preferences. Crystal-clear waters, stunning landscapes, and opportunities for swimming and snorkeling make this tour ideal for nature and adventure lovers. Highly recommended for couples, families, and groups of friends looking to experience Dalmatia in a unique and intimate way. I recommend traveling with this company!!

I recently took a one-day boat trip from Split, and it was fantastic! The tour was well-organized, and the crew was friendly and professional. Each location was stunning and worth the visit.The boat was modern and comfortable, with plenty of space for everyone. We enjoyed sunbathing on the deck and swimming in the crystal-clear waters.Overall, this trip was excellent value for money and a perfect way to explore the Croatian coast and islands. Highly recommended for a memorable day out!

What a day at sea!!! The crew was very friendly and experienced, the places we visited were fantastic, and the ship was comfortable and luxurious. Definitely all recommendations for traveling with this company!

What a wonderful day we had! Our skipper was very friendly and we enjoyed the scenic route. Highly recommended!

Good

We had a lovely afternoon. The crew was in a good mood and fulfilled our wishes. Best regards

We had a wonderful trip on the boat and were warmly welcomed by the crew. We had a fantastic day; the weather was relatively good, and the experience was great. Thank you so much for the wonderful day!

Everything was perfect. A dream afternoon at the various sites, between the shipwreck, the blue lagoon, and the peaceful beaches. Bruno and Mia were extremely kind and professional. I highly recommend this experience with Marin.

It was an incredible experience with a very welcoming crew. The Croatian landscapes are splendid. We had a great afternoon and we will keep wonderful memories! We had booked for a specific itinerary but we were able to shape it: the skipper (sorry we don't know how to spell your name) and Mia offered us several alternatives. We highly recommend this excursion!!!

Awesome!

Apart from the weather and high waves, everything was great. The crew was outstanding ???. Best regards and recommendations, Andrzej

I highly recommend!

We had a great day on this boat trip with friends! The two crew members were truly lovely: smiling, caring, and very attentive. They immediately agreed to change the route a little to take us to a quieter spot, which was very much appreciated. Their explanations throughout the trip were clear, interesting, and given with great good humor. A big thank you to them for this unforgettable moment; I recommend them 100%!

A great day, impeccable service, a clean and well-maintained boat, and a lovely staff. Thank you so much for this fantastic day we spent with our family with you and our crew. Bruno and Mía were phenomenal, so much so that I forgot a bag on board, and they brought it to my accommodation right away. Totally recommendable, I would definitely do it again!

Dear Marin, dear Mia. It was a wonderful day with you, and we felt right at home ☺️. The trip on the wonderful boat was very nice and comfortable, and you two entertained us wonderfully. The mutual sympathy was palpable from the very beginning. Trogir, as our first stop, was very, very worth seeing, with many other impressions. The Blue Lagoon in the off-season is, of course, pure luxury ?. Our lunch in Stomorska Bay was also really great ?. The sea bass was a poem ?. The sunken shipwreck was also in a beautiful bay, although you can only really see it while snorkeling. The peace and quiet in the bay was very relaxing. Thank you so much for everything, we would love to come back. Best wishes, Bianca & Dietmar

The boat is great, communication with Marin was very good, he answered all our questions immediately. Bruno, our skipper, did everything possible to make sure we had a great day. Thank you very much for this beautiful day.

Had a great day!

A great day spent on board this boat thanks to Bruno our skipper who allowed us to visit places where we would not necessarily have been. He even reserved a great restaurant for us where he dropped us off by boat. At the top I recommend!

We had a great day. Bruno was a very good skipper Highly recommended

Very nice day, many thanks to Bruno our skipper who was great!

Great day with Bruno, a perfect day with the most beautiful places around Split! I recommend Marin's boat without hesitation and the communication was great ?? Thanks again ☺️ Visited in August

Simply a perfect day on the boat!

Marin and his teammate were adorable all day, they did everything to meet our expectations and please us. Unforgettable family day with children aged 13 and 15. I highly recommend Marin

It was absolutely perfect! Everything was arranged quickly, friendly via chat. Skipper was really more than great! Spoke good English and knew all the beautiful spots around Hvar and Split. The skipper also regularly got ice for the cool boxes for us. He was also not difficult at all and we were allowed to decide when and where we wanted to go. We have been coming to Croatia for 4 years in a row now and we have also been on a boat with a skipper more often. However, this was really the best time we have been away on a boat. Big compliments for the skipper and all the equipment that was present on the boat! Before I forget: We were even allowed to put on our own music and enjoy a delicious beer!

Rented the boat for a day with a group of 8 people and had a wonderful day. The skipper was pleasant and the boat was spacious enough for everyone. So nothing to complain about!

Great day with Marin and Bruno!! They recommended us nice places and spoke English very well. The boat is comfortable for 8 they are accommodating and super friendly Thank you for the beautiful day.

I have had a great day!

Had a very nice day with 6 girls!

Great service. Comfortable boat. Very nice skipper. Flexible, we chose our route. Cooler available. We had a wonderful day!

Very nice, a very good route I would definitely repeat thank you so much !

A great day with everything included!

Great boat, knowledgeable and helpful crew.
