Itinerary
During the cruise from Zadar, the boat gently passes along the waterfront where the famous Sea Organ is located — a unique installation that transforms the movement of the sea into music.
After a scenic boat ride from Zadar, you arrive in the charming village of Preko, located on the island of Ugljan — known for its laid-back atmosphere, clear sea, and authentic Dalmatian feel.
As your boat approaches the bay of Batalaža in Kali, you’ll enter one of the most authentic fishing villages in the Zadar archipelago. Known for its deep connection to the sea, Kali offers a glimpse into real island life — where fishing boats, stone houses, and crystal-clear water define the landscape. Just steps from the shore, you’ll find Srdela Fish Snack, a simple but vibrant spot that has become a highlight of many boat excursions.
As your boat cruises along Zadar’s coastline, you pass by Foša, a small, historic harbour located right at the entrance to the Old Town. This area was originally part of the city’s defensive system — a Renaissance-era moat (“foša”) built to protect the city walls
As your boat cruises along the coastline, you’ll pass beneath or alongside the Zadar Bridge (Gradski most) — the main connection between the Old Town peninsula and the newer part of the city.

Great half day boat trip. We left at 1pm, returning just after 5pm. Friendly captain and partner. We were provided with a sharing platter, which was tasty. Trip to first island took about 15 mins, we had an hour there, nice walk around finishing off with a nice ice cream! Taken to next place, our duration was 1 and a half hours. We were told about a fish shack to visit, we wouldn't normally go along with this, but it had a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We shared a fish platter for 20 euros, 2 large beers were 3 euros 60 each. The return journey took about 40 mins. Very enjoyable trip. You need to be fairly fit to climb on and off the boat.
