Your Group Deserves Better Than a Shared Tour

You've gathered your best friends, family, or colleagues for a trip to Hvar. The last thing you want is to spend the day on a crowded group boat with 30 strangers following a rigid schedule. A private boat charter from Hvar with Mini Yachts Hvar gives your group the entire boat, a dedicated captain, and complete freedom to create the perfect day.

Whether you're planning a bachelor or bachelorette party, celebrating a birthday on the water, or simply want a memorable day out with friends, a private group boat trip is the highlight of any Hvar holiday. Your captain handles everything - you just show up and enjoy.

Smart math: A private boat charter for 8 people costs roughly €80-€150 per person for a full day. That's barely more than a basic group tour, but you get complete privacy, a flexible schedule, premium equipment, and a captain who curates the day around your group's energy.
