The most popular is a half- or full-day island trip to the Blue Lagoon and Šolta, with swimming and snorkelling stops. For the big islands, the full-day Blue Cave and Hvar speedboat tour is the showpiece. Sunset cruises are the easy evening option.
Private charters with a skipper typically start from a few hundred euros for a half day, depending on the boat size, season and route. Split between a family or group it can work out similar to several individual tour tickets, with far more flexibility.
Organised tours and private charters include a licensed skipper, so no licence is needed. Some small, low-power boats can be rented without a licence; anything larger requires a recognised boating licence.
Yes — short evening cruises run along the coast and around Čiovo, often with a drink included. They are a relaxed, family-friendly alternative to a full island day and a good way to see the old town from the water.
