Why Choose a Speedboat?

A speedboat rental gives you the freedom to explore more, see more, and experience the Adriatic the way it was meant to be enjoyed — with the wind in your hair and the crystal-clear Adriatic stretching out before you.

Speed & Range

Cover more ground in less time. Visit Vis, the Blue Cave, and Pakleni Islands all in a single day — something slower boats simply cannot do.

Access Small Coves

Speedboats draw less water and are more maneuverable. Slip into hidden bays, shallow lagoons, and tiny inlets that larger yachts cannot enter.

Exciting Ride

There is nothing quite like the thrill of gliding across open water at speed. It is an experience in itself — part of the adventure, not just the transport.

Open-Air Experience

Feel the sun, the spray, and the breeze. Speedboats offer an immersive, open-air experience that connects you directly with the sea.

Our Speedboat Fleet

Three purpose-built speedboats, each maintained to the highest standards and equipped with modern navigation and safety equipment. All boats are moored in Hvar Town harbor, ready for immediate departure.

With Skipper vs Self-Drive

While self-drive speedboat rental is available for licensed boaters, we strongly recommend hiring a local expert skipper. Here is why the vast majority of our guests choose the skipper option:

Local Knowledge

Our skippers grew up on these waters. They know the hidden coves, the best snorkeling spots, the restaurants with the freshest fish, and the routes that avoid afternoon chop.

Safety & Peace of Mind

The Adriatic can be unpredictable. Winds, currents, and shallow rocks are all part of the landscape. A trained skipper ensures you are always safe.

True Relaxation

When someone else handles the navigation, anchoring, and boat operation, you can truly relax. Enjoy a glass of wine at lunch without worrying about driving back.

No License Required

Croatian law requires a valid boat license for operating vessels over 5 HP. With a skipper, you need nothing — just step aboard and enjoy the crystal-clear Adriatic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a boat license to rent a speedboat in Hvar?

Not if you hire a skipper, which we strongly recommend. Our professional local skippers handle all navigation and boat operation, so you do not need any license or boating experience. If you wish to drive yourself, a valid boat license is required by Croatian maritime law for boats over 5 HP.

What is the difference between a speedboat and a regular boat rental?

Speedboats are faster (30-40 knots cruising speed vs 15-20 for standard boats), more nimble, and can access shallow coves that larger vessels cannot reach. They are ideal for covering more ground in less time — you can visit the Blue Cave, Stiniva Beach, and the Pakleni Islands all in a single day.

How many people can a speedboat hold?

Our speedboats accommodate between 6 and 8 guests comfortably. The Zara (28ft) takes up to 8 guests, while Lucy (25ft) and Antonia (26ft) each accommodate up to 6 guests. For larger groups, we can arrange multi-boat excursions.

Is fuel included in the speedboat rental price?

Fuel inclusion depends on the rental package. Most of our private tour packages include fuel. For bare speedboat rental, fuel is typically charged separately based on consumption. We will always give you a clear breakdown before you book — no hidden costs.

What is the best time of day for a speedboat trip?

Morning departures (9:00-10:00 AM) are ideal. The sea is calmest, popular spots are less crowded, and you have the whole day ahead. For half-day trips, afternoon departures (2:00-3:00 PM) let you catch the magical golden hour and potential sunset on the water.

Can I rent a speedboat for multiple days?

Yes! We offer multi-day speedboat rentals at discounted rates. This is perfect for guests who want to explore at their own pace over several days. Contact us for multi-day pricing and availability.
