Private Boat Tour — Dalmatian Islands
Hvar, Brac and Pakleni Islands Private Boat Tour
Discover three distinct island worlds on one exclusive private cruise along the Dalmatian coast.
This private boat tour to Hvar, Brac and Pakleni Islands offers an unhurried way to explore some of Croatia's most celebrated Adriatic destinations without sharing your vessel with strangers. From a quiet fishermen's village to a historic hilltop fortress and pristine turquoise coves, the route covers an exceptional range of coastal experiences in a single day.
The journey begins with a scenic 40-minute crossing toward Milna, a sheltered harbour on the island of Brac that retains the calm rhythm of traditional Dalmatian fishing life. Its stone waterfront, narrow lanes, and local cafes offer a genuine contrast to the busier resort towns further along the route.
From Brac, the boat continues to the Pakleni archipelago, a chain of small wooded islands just off the coast of Hvar, where the water clarity and seclusion make it one of the finest swimming and snorkelling spots in the central Adriatic. The tour concludes with free time in Hvar town itself, giving guests the opportunity to explore its Renaissance piazza, narrow old-town streets, and the panoramic Fortica fortress at their own pace.
Tour Highlights
Fully private boat — no shared departures, no strangers on board.
Swimming and snorkelling in the crystal-clear bays of the Pakleni Islands.
Visit Hvar town's iconic Fortica fortress for sweeping views over the archipelago.
Coffee break in Milna, a charming fishermen's village on the island of Brac.
Lunch by the sea in a Pakleni bay restaurant or in Hvar town — your choice.
Free time in Hvar town for independent sightseeing, shopping, or dining.
