Good to know

Before you board

01

Group or private?

Shared trips are best value for couples and solo travellers; a private charter often wins for families or groups of four or more once you split the cost.

02

Pack for the sea

Swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sun cream, a hat and water. Snorkel gear is worth bringing — the lagoon water is made for it. See the beaches guide for more swimming spots.

03

Check what's included

Confirm whether fuel, entrance fees, drinks or lunch are included, and where the boat departs — some leave from Trogir, others from Split or Čiovo.

04

Book early in summer

The best skippers and small-group boats fill up in July and August. Reserve ahead with free cancellation so you can adjust around the weather.

Stay a short walk from the harbour

Most boats leave early from Trogir or Čiovo, so a central base makes mornings easy. See our best places to stay in Trogir guide.

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.

Is there a sunset cruise from Trogir?

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.
