Private Speedboat Day Tour

Golden Horn Beach on Island Brac and Hvar Tour

A private speedboat journey through two of Central Dalmatia's most celebrated islands.


This private speedboat tour to Golden Horn Beach and Hvar offers a rare combination of natural wonder and cultural depth across two iconic Croatian islands in a single, flexible day. Guests board a comfortable speedboat in Split and set course for Brac, then Hvar, with departure times arranged directly with the skipper.

The island of Brac is the largest in the Central Dalmatian archipelago, home to Vidova Gora — the highest peak of any Croatian island at 778 metres. The small town of Bol, one of the oldest settlements on the island's southern coast, serves as the gateway to Zlatni Rat, a pebble promontory that reshapes itself with every shift of wind, tide, and current.

Zlatni Rat, known internationally as the Golden Horn or Golden Cape, has earned recognition from National Geographic and the New York Times as one of the world's most spectacular beaches. Protected as a geo-morphological monument by the Croatian government, it continues to grow in length year after year, making it a genuinely living landscape.

The town of Hvar rounds out the itinerary with centuries of layered history, sun-bleached stone streets, and a local craft tradition centered on lavender. Guests have time to explore restaurants, lounge bars, and boutique shops before the return speedboat journey to Split.

Tour Highlights

Swim and relax at Zlatni Rat, one of the most photographed beaches in the Mediterranean, shaped entirely by natural forces.

Travel by private speedboat from Split, allowing a flexible schedule agreed directly with your skipper.

Zlatni Rat holds official protection as a geo-morphological monument, reflecting its scientific and scenic significance.

Discover the lavender craft tradition of Hvar, where locals weave and distill the island's most iconic herb.

Stroll through the historic town of Hvar, one of the most visited destinations on the Adriatic coast.

Visit two distinct Central Dalmatian islands in a single private excursion without sharing space with large group tours.
