Pokrivenik is one of the most beautiful deep bays on the north side of Hvar, naturally sheltered from the winds and surrounded by steep green hills that make it feel like a true jungle bay. With just a few small houses by the sea, it is a peaceful and hidden spot perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing away from the crowds.
The Little Blue Cave is one of Hvar’s hidden natural gems. Travelers can swim inside with snorkeling equipment and enjoy the beautiful blue light reflections that make this cave so special. With no entrance fee and usually no crowds, this stop feels much more relaxed, personal, and authentic than larger cave attractions.
Discover Mala Stiniva, a hidden bay near Jelsa with naturally shaped stone cliffs, striking turquoise-green sea, and an old ruined stone house that gives this cove a unique and unforgettable character. It is a perfect stop for swimming, relaxing, and for adventurous guests who want to enjoy one of the area’s most popular cliff jumping spot.
FREE TIME (Lunch) VRBOSKA town on island HVAR, often called the "Little Venice" of Hvar, charms visitors with its narrow winding canal, stone bridges, and traditional Dalmatian houses. Nestled in a peaceful bay, this picturesque fishing village blends natural beauty with rich cultural heritage. ⛵ Restaurant - Trica Grdelin (check it out on tripadvisor) - from our local standpoint it is one of the best value for money Hvar can offer you with increadible food and stuff Beach - Vrboska Soline (or exploration and the coffee in the town) - depends of the desires by the group
ZEČEVO Island – BLUE LAGOON in front of this tiny uninhabited island near Vrboska is a hidden gem with approachable only with boat. Ideal for snorkeling, floating, and soaking up the peaceful island vibes. ️
Žirje is a hidden bay on Brač with calm turquoise water, a peaceful atmosphere, and a quiet, untouched character that feels far from the busier island spots. Because this part of Brač stays less visited, it is the perfect stop for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying a more private side of the Adriatic.

Excellent communication with Petar prior to our tour. On arrival we were introduced to our skipper Antonio who was very helpful throughout our tour. The boat was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting the islands and swimming from the boat in beautiful bays. Lunch was booked by Antonio and it was very enjoyable. The tour was great value for money and we would highly recommend Palladium.
We had a completely fantastic private boat trip with a private skipper and are really super satisfied with the boat trip! The boat fulfilled exactly what was promised. And our Skipper did a fantastic job from start to finish. It was a really luxurious and relaxing boat trip where we experienced a lot, we lacked nothing. All communication worked perfectly. The service from Palladium Rent a Boat was really top from start to finish. A big and warm thank you to Palladium Rent a Boat and our Skipper for a fantastic boat trip. We can highly recommend Palladium Rent a Boat and would love to come back! Birgitta & Björn with family and friends!
Our skipper was welcoming and informative. Traveling by boat and swimming in the hidden coves of Hvar and Brac was the highlight of our trip to Croatia.
Thank you so much! 😊 We’re delighted that your private tour around Hvar and Brač became one of the highlights of your Croatia trip. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the hidden caves, swimming stops and the time with our skipper. We hope to welcome you aboard again!
We did the hidden bays full day tour which included stopping off for a little wander and an ice cream as well as a really nice lunch which the whole family loved. Plenty of snorkelling and jumping off the boat for everyone and all totally at our pace. I found the company really professional and good to communicate with and would totally recommend them for a great day of rest and relaxation. We were staying in the hotel Berulia in Brela and were able to start and end the tour in BAska Voda harbour(rather than Markarskar ?) for a small amount of extra which meant we could walk to and fro the boat from the hotel very easily no taxi needed.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed feedback! 🌊 We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed the Hidden Bays full day tour, from the snorkeling and swimming to the relaxed pace and delicious lunch. It’s great to know that our flexibility with the Baška Voda pick-up made things even easier for you during your stay in Brela. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team’s professionalism and communication – and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back on board for another restful day of exploring! 🚤✨
We rented a boat with a skipper for a day. Luka, our skipper, was fantastic! Knowledgeable, professional and friendly, he guided us to some hidden gems and booked a really nice restaurant for lunch on one of the islands. The boat itself was clean, well looked after and comfortable. The booking was straightforward and communication from Petar very responsive and friendly. Thank you for an absolutely amazing experience, I highly recommend renting a private boat for a day and choose where you want to go!
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! 🌟 We’re delighted to hear you had such an amazing private tour with Luka – he’ll be thrilled to know his knowledge and guidance made your day so special. We’re also glad the booking process and communication felt smooth and easy, as that’s exactly what we aim for. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime for another adventure to explore even more hidden gems! 🚤✨ Warm regards, Petar & the Palladium Rent a Boat team
We used Palladium for a private full day tour. From start to finish, these guys are amazing. Peter was even giving me tourism tips about where to park for cheap :) They couldn’t have been more helpful. Antonio our skipper was super skilled and really helpful. We were in great hands all day with him. I would give these guys 200% if I could. Full marks and thank you from our family

I can’t wait to welcome you back next month for even more adventures on the sea! 🚤💙 With warm regards, Tina & the Palladium Rent a Boat team
A fantastic day from start to finish. We met our skipper for the day Ante - he was terrific- we saw dolphins right up close and Ante made several passes to make sure we got the best view. We had teenagers and Ante had them connect to the sound system so they could play their music. The boat was great too - 7 adults and we had plenty of room to relax. Stopped in beautiful bays with crystal clear water and for a delicious lunch at Trixi in Vrboska - gorgeous setting and delicious food and friendly staff. All in all a great experience and highly recommend
We are glad you like our Palladium 3 island tour and hope to see you next season as well
Great experience. Nice lazy day at sea snorkeling. Very easy booking. Very nice owners - super helpful in answering all the questions and explaining how to prepare. Lovely skipper. One point for improvement: the return is a bit tiring - having to wait to fill the tank with petrol. I would prefer to pay more rather than wait so long.
Thank you very much, hopefully we'll see you again next year :D
Magnificent family day, with discovery of a magnificent secret blue cellar + picnic in a beautiful bay with transparent water
Merci beaucoup Ante. Je suis heureux d'apprendre que vous avez vécu une si belle expérience. J'espère que vous et votre charmante famille reviendrez la prochaine fois. Pierre
