We are a group of 7 women and took the 1/2 day trip from Split to the blue lagoon. As a special treat we booked the premium luxury Saxdor yacht, primarily because the bathroom facilities on board looked very good. The bathroom on board was a non negotiable for some of our party, as we would be on board for 5 hours. However when we were picked up, we were told by the captain that the toilet was out of order. Had we known there was no bathroom facilities, we wouldn’t have booked this trip.
This was an expensive trip and we didn’t receive the experience we thought we were paying for, so I asked Toni, the owner of Tamaris, whether he was prepared to offer us any compensation to reflect the shortcomings of the boat. Unfortunately, he said that, ‘the toilet is not an advertised feature of this tour’ and because they made 1 stop at a marina that, ‘they do no consider the onboard toilet to be an essential facility’. There are many photos of the bathroom on board the Saxdor on the Tamaris website, with no caveat text against them, so naturally we all assumed that it would be available. It was a shock to us all when the boat arrived to learn that this was not the case. We should have been informed prior to the trip and it tainted what was otherwise a nice experience. The absence of a toilet caused problems for some members of our group.
Toni argued that he accommodated our request to be picked up later than the usual trip start time, so that should offset the bathroom issue. However, when I asked if we could be picked up later, he said it wasn’t a problem at all. After much toing snd froing he finally offered a 15% discount if we were to book another boat tour, which is utterly useless to us.

Private boat tour for cruise guests
Tour was excellent. Our skipper was Josip. He was knowledgeable of the area and able to provide recommendations. Very friendly. The only reason this is a 4 and not a 5 is because they make you fill up the gas tank which took about an hour of our tour. Strongly recommend they include the price of gas in overall fee so we can enjoy the full boating experience.

Fast boat in Split, Croatia
Great experience on a very fast motor boat in Split. Our skipper took us to Trogir to walk around and also to two areas to swim off the boat. One was the blue lagoon and the other was a less crowded area. We had lunch at a restaurant and then headed back to port but not before we had to fill fuel back in the boat which took some time.

Great half day in split for a big group.
We took the trip 1/2 day trip from Split to the blue lagoon and ate at a nearby town. We had a large group so took 2 Ribs. Ribs where 24' clean and in good condition. Nice boats really.
Our skippers Toni and Andro were friendly, courteous and very helpful. They made a reservation for us at a local eatery that turned out to be quite good. The pizza, salads and particularly the cuttlefish ink risotto was brilliant.
We had a nice swim at the beautiful blue lagoon prior. It took about 45 min by boat from Split to Blue Lagoon and it was quite nice. Water is crystal clear and warmer than expected.
No complaints. Group of 13 all had a good time. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding Boat Tour & Exceptional Skipper
We had an incredible boat tour in Split, and Luca made the experience unforgettable. He was hands down the best skipper—friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He took us to beautiful local spots that we never would have found on our own and shared interesting insights along the way.
Luca was also very accommodating, making sure everyone was comfortable and tailoring the day to what we wanted to see and do. His local expertise and relaxed personality made the trip one of the highlights of our vacation.
We highly recommend this company, and if you have the chance, definitely ask for Luca as your skipper. You won’t be disappointed!

Marko was great! He picked us up right on time. He knew all the best locations. He ended up having lunch with us which was really nice.

Great captain but hidden fees ruin it
I’m torn with this. On one hand, mad at myself for not reading the small print for the additional charges. On the other hand, saw some really beautiful areas and Capt Marin was top notch. Would be weary of the company but if you request Marin, you can not go wrong

Dear Noah,

I would just like to say, from our end, everything is always transparent, and additional costs like the fuel surcharge are clearly stated in our add. We also send a message with all the info about additional payments to every client. I’m happy to hear you had a great time onboard our Saxdor. Thank you for all the kind words about Marin, he trully is a great skipper.
Wish you all the best,
Toni
