Private Boat Trip - Swim and Chill in Crystal Blue Šibenik
Description
Embark on a full-day cruise with a Skipper and discover the breathtaking Šibenik archipelago.

You'll have plenty of time to explore each island, whether you choose to swim, snorkel, dine or simply take in the sights.

All boat trips are private (your group and the skipper).

Rising proudly above the bay of Grebaštica, The Wall of Oštrica is often called the “Dalmatian Great Wall” – and for good reason. Built in the 15th century to defend against Ottoman invasions, this impressive stone structure winds across the peninsula, offering a unique combination of history, nature, and stunning sea views.
⚠️ Please note: Visiting the fortress is possible only with prior notice, as it requires a special route and permit. Including this stop in your tour means less time for swimming and a slight adjustment to the route. If you're interested, let us know in advance so we can organize everything for a smooth and unforgettable visit. St. Nikola Fortress, one of the newest additions to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Until today it remains one of the strongest and the most fascinating maritime fortifications built along the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Fortress was constructed during the 16th century and located at the entrance to St. Anthony's Channel which was used as an entrance to the "free city Braavos" in the popular Game of Thrones series.

Superb experience with a very competent skipper. Must do for a very nice day at sea in good company
Great boat tour with stops for swimming, turquoise water, enough time to swim and eat. Boater very nice, with good English.
Boat was comfortable. Marino was an excellent guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. Fantastic swim stops and very tasty lunch. Really memorable family day.
Thank you 😊
The 2 stars are because the captain was a nice guy and got us to lunch and back safely. But the boat was smaller than the SS Minnow, and never ran above half-speed. So it was basically an entire day dedicated to getting to lunch and back, with a couple of stops to swim in a bay here and there. Could have been a lot more exhilarating with a better boat.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found our captain to be friendly and professional, ensuring a safe journey to and from your lunch destination. We apologize that the size and speed of the boat did not meet your expectations. To clarify, the boat's picture is displayed in our advertisement, and it is a 7-meter vessel, which is a good size for the experiences we offer. Comparing it to an 11-meter yacht may not be entirely fair. Regarding the speed of the boat, each boat has its cruising speed and maximum speed. As we discussed during the trip, the speed you experienced was the boat's cruising speed. Driving at or close to full speed constantly is not possible as it damages the engine over time. Therefore, we cannot accept the criticism regarding the speed, as it is based on the boat's design and operational limits. On each trip, our skipper aims to adjust to the wishes of our guests. We always ask if you want to stay longer or shorter at each swimming stop, ensuring there is no pressure regarding the time. We apologize if there was any miscommunication during your trip. Some guests prefer shorter swims, while others enjoy spending more time at a single location. It seems the skipper could have made a better judgment in your case, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. It also seems that you might have been better suited for our Speedboat trip, which we also offer. We recommend checking out this option for a more exhilarating experience. Best regards
The little town visited for lunch was beautiful. The skipper was also super friendly and very proud to show us the area.
Book well in advance as we booked this but it was 10pm the evening before that we were told there was no availability.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We appreciate your feedback and would like to provide some clarification regarding our reservation process. We want to emphasize that our reservation process requires customers to submit a reservation request, which is then carefully reviewed by our team. We would like to point out that it is clearly stated on our website that a confirmation from us is required for a reservation to be considered accepted. We have carefully reviewed our records and, we could not find any reservation matching the details you provided. We even reached out to the customer support team at TripAdvisor to confirm this. However, we kindly request your understanding in recognizing that it is unfair to give a negative rating based on a reservation that was never confirmed or accepted. We strive to maintain a high level of service and appreciate when customers take the time to communicate their concerns to us directly, allowing us the opportunity to address them promptly. We would like to express our sincere apologies for any confusion or disappointment you may have experienced. Best regards, Marino
Excellent, reliable, trustworthy, just perfect. Top quality, cannot imagine better service. Always helpful, strongly recommend!
Was very nice, you tell the skipper his wishes and he fulfills them as best he can. Lunch was also fantastic. Very good recommendation!
We had a wonderful day. We jumped off of cliffs, swam in beautiful coves, wandered the lovely island of Prvic and relaxed on the boat. Marino was a fantastic guide and fun companion. Our best day in Croatia! Thank you!
Milli is super nice. We went from island to island all day to swim in beautiful waters! Do not hesitate!
Thank you very much and remember number 6 is the lucky one. 😉 Mili
