Private Boat Tour with activities in Pula Croatia
Description
Don't want to share your sailing time with other people? You are in the right place, book a private boat trip! Our captain will use his local knowledge and experience of 30 years, and it is up to you to choose how you want to use the time on board (fishing, dolphins, swimming, sunbathing, coastal panorama, snorkeling). If you never tried fishing, no problem, our captain is here to give you instructions, it is especially interesting for children. During our five-hour excursion, in addition to all the activities listed above, use our flybridge where you can sunbathe hidden from the view of others. Of course, our captain will need help from the youngest on board, so he will ask then to assist in driving. Your wish is the captain's command :)

Itinerary
Our crew will be waiting for you on the boat, where after a warm welcome, they will help you settle on board for a pleasant sailing, and talk about your wishes during the sailing.
The beginning of the voyage takes us through a large Pula harbor full of historical sights, where the crew will tell you all the important historical details (Uljanik shipyard, as well as the fact that it was the main war port of the Austrian Empire from 1850 until the collapse of Austria-Hungary after the First World War, and many more stories...
It's time for the first swim and snorkel, we drop the anchor in a beautiful bay and enjoying the sea can begin. If you don't want to swim, no problem, you can use the upper deck for sunbathing
After refreshing yourself in the sea, it's time to go around the Brijuni National Park which consists of 14 islands. Our company has a special permit for sailing between the islands, which gives you the opportunity to enjoy the untouched nature up close and see the various animals that live on the island. The islands gained worldwide fame in 1956 when the main leaders of the Non-Aligned Movement met with the host, Yugoslav president Tito, to form the Brioni Declaration which served as the foundation for the policies the movement would follow. Our crew will make sure you get all the historical information about the islands.
After the tour of the Brijuni National Park, we will stop for another longer swim in a new location or, if you wish, there is the possibility of fishing (equipment and bait on board). Of course you can mix both activities.
During the panoramic drive back to the marina, you can enjoy the beautiful coast and the old military buildings on the way back, as well as the cold refreshing drinks that our crew will offer you.
I hope you enjoyed on the boat, now it's time to return to land, say goodbye to the crew and continue enjoying our beautiful little town.

Wonderful experience with Dean, will deffo come back! We felt safe and sound, interesting stories from Dean, this was our best day out in Pula ❤️
We had a wonderful evening the children have seen several dolphins. The captain was very friendly and also the booking went completely smoothly. Everything fit here.
Booking via Tripadvisor was completely problem-free. At the specified meeting point we were received friendly by the captain. After a quick discussion about what we would like to experience on the tour, we started. As booked we had the boat as a private group all to ourselves. There was a Bluetooth beatbox for playing your own music and cold drinks. Then we went to the bath stop and then out to sea to look for dolphins that we actually found. In between there was interesting information from the captain. At a wonderful sunset we are then back to the harbour. The tour was great, the boat very spacious (there were only four of us, a group of up to 12 people fits on it though). You can lie on the bow or sit on the roof and enjoy the sea. Of course, there is also a toilet. All in all we were very satisfied and can highly recommend the evening three-hour dolphin watching tour!
Our private boat tour - just fantastic. We were a group of 4 adults, 4 children + dog. Everything just fit- snorkeling, dolphins, sunset, Service on board. We all had a happy smile on our faces when we docked again. Too bad 4 hours passed so quickly. The next holiday we would actually come back.
Firstly we were sent brilliant clear instructions where to find the boat where we met Dean, our captain for the day. He asked what we would like to do for the day,we were open to suggestions. We set off sailing to the national park area, we asked if we could do some fishing, Dean was so helpful setting it up. He gave us beer,wine and soft drinks constantly and made us feel at home. We had such a brilliant day,he told us points of interest on islands we passed etc He never rushed us all day and we even went over our time by an hour which we really appreciated. I would recommend this trip to anyone, specially in a group, there was 8 of us so a private trip was great. Thanks again Dean.
The best experience we had in Pula was meeting Captain Dean. We thought we won't find any boat on March because the season hasn't start yet, but we were lucky to ask a local person and he called the Captain. He told us a lot about Pula and Croatia in general...so he made us consider going back on summer ☀️🏖 Weather was on our side because the morning was rainy, then sun showed up and we enjoyed magical sunset 🥹 Me and my friends highly recommend this experience. Not expensive, he offers a big JBL to play music, he also have a fridge inside with some beers and soft drinks. My friend proposed to his girlfriend 💍 the Captain offered champaign and celebrated with us 😍 Thank you sir, we promise whenever we come back, we won't change your boat 🫡
It was really casual! Captain is very accommodating and has responded to all our wishes! We saw dolphins and the children were allowed to boat.
Thank you for your kind words, I hope to see you again :) Regards
Wonderful trip with Dean and his boat. About snorkeling, boat tour with information and history, jumping off the boat, unlimited drinks, SUP and much more was really everything. Thank you very much. The only point: The information documents stated that the skipper also speaks German. Communication went better via English😉
Thank you for your kind words, we really try from season to season to learn foreign languages, as well as in our free time, and we try to talk to our guests in their language, but sometimes, with all the care for the guests and the vessel, at that moment it is easier for us to talk in English, which we speak fluently. We will certainly work on German :) Regards from Pula
We enjoyed a wonderful 5 hour trip with Dean who was very friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was roomy enough for 8 and equipped with snorkelling gear etc. Dean kept us refreshed with beer, wine and soft drinks and was a great host. He showed the kids how to fish and they enjoyed catching their first red snapper. Would recommend!
Thank you for your kind words, I hope to see you again :) Regards from Pula
What about... Dean is a very kind person, he showed us a wonder of Croatia from 19:00 we started sailing and enjoying a breathtaking sunset with a view of the dolphins! He offered us an aperitif on board and also was excellent company in explaining the things of the islands. We were on tour with him for over an hour. What can I say, wonderful! Super recommended!
Grazie per le tue belle parole, spero di rivederti. Saluti da Pola
