Private Boat Tour Split: A 2026 Guide to Yacht Charters & Day Trips
By Paradise Charter · 10 September 2026 · 8 min read
A private boat tour from Split is the simplest way to reach Hvar, the Blue Cave, Brač and the Pakleni Islands without sharing a boat with strangers. You hire the whole vessel, set your own route and swim stops, and a local skipper handles the rest. This guide covers the routes, the prices and how to choose between Split and Trogir departures.
What a private boat tour from Split includes
Every private charter is skippered and fuelled. The price you see is per boat, not per person, and covers the full day on the water — bottled water, snorkelling gear, insurance and safety equipment. Lunch, cave entry tickets and gratuities are the usual extras.
The best private routes from Split
Hvar & the Pakleni Islands
The classic private day. Forty-five minutes south to Hvar town, then a loop through the sheltered bays of the Pakleni archipelago. Best for first-time visitors and groups who want a mix of sightseeing and swimming.
Blue Cave & Vis Island
The longest day and the most photographed. We aim for the Blue Cave between 9 and 11 AM when the light is strongest, then continue to Stiniva cove and lunch in the fishing village of Komiža.
Golden Horn, Brač & Šolta
A shorter day. Cross to Brač for the famous shifting-tongue beach at Bol, then drift to quieter coves on Šolta on the way back.
Private boat tour Split: prices
Private charters start at around €800 per day for a 6-guest speedboat and go up to €1,900 for the flagship Wally Tender. A 30% deposit secures your date; the balance is paid on the day or by bank transfer.
Split or Trogir?
Split (ACI Marina) is the better departure for Hvar and the Blue Cave. Trogir Marina, 30 minutes north, is closer to the Blue Lagoon, Šolta and the Maslinica islets. If you are staying near the airport, Kaštela or Trogir, a Trogir departure saves you the drive down to Split.
How to book
- Pick a route — or tell us your islands and we will suggest one.
- Choose a boat based on your group size.
- Pay a 30% deposit to hold the date.
- Meet your skipper on the morning of the tour.
