Golden Horn Beach, Town Hvar and Paklinski Islands Private Tour
A full-day private cruise along the Dalmatian coast, calling at Croatia's most celebrated island destinations.
This private speedboat tour from Makarska gives travelers direct access to three of the Adriatic's most iconic stops in a single day. The itinerary combines the natural beauty of the Paklinski Islands archipelago, the cultural richness of Hvar town, and the extraordinary pebble formation of Golden Horn beach on Brac island.
Departing from Makarska by private speedboat, the experience is fully customizable. Guests can work with their skipper to adjust stops, choose quieter coves or livelier beach bars, and pace the day according to their own preferences.
The tour covers approximately eight and a half hours on the water and ashore, making it one of the most complete ways to experience the central Dalmatian islands without joining a large group.

Itinerary
The tour begins at Makarska harbor, where you board your private speedboat and set off southward along the Dalmatian coast. The cruise to the first stop takes approximately one hour and 45 minutes.
The Paklinski Islands form a scenic archipelago directly opposite Hvar town, with a mix of busy and secluded anchorages. Your skipper can guide you to quiet coves suited for swimming and snorkeling, or to beach bars if you prefer a livelier atmosphere.
A short 10 to 15-minute crossing brings you to Hvar marina, where you have free time to explore at your own pace. Options include walking the old town's narrow stone lanes, finding a spot for lunch, or climbing to the Fortica fortress for wide views over the harbor and islands.
The final stop, approximately 50 minutes from Hvar, is Golden Horn beach on Brac island. This well-known pebble spit extends nearly half a kilometer into the sea and changes shape depending on wind direction and tidal movement, offering a visually striking setting for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing.
After free time at Golden Horn, the speedboat heads back to Makarska, completing the full-day tour. Total time on the water and ashore is around eight and a half hours.
