Island Hopping
Why visit one island when you can explore several? Hop between the stunning Dalmatian islands by private boat from Hvar with a local expert skipper, at your own pace.
Your Private Island Odyssey
Hvar sits at the heart of the Dalmatian archipelago. Within easy reach are dozens of islands - from the famous (Vis, Brač, Korčula) to the uninhabited and unknown.
With a private boat, you are not limited to ferry schedules or group tour itineraries. Want to spend an extra hour at a beach you love? Done. Curious about that tiny island on the horizon? Ask your skipper to go and look.
Island hopping through crystal-clear Adriatic waters is the ultimate way to experience the diversity of the Dalmatian coast. Each island has its own character, hidden beaches, and secrets waiting to be discovered with your local expert skipper.

Local tip:
Start with the Pakleni Islands in the morning when the bays are empty, then head to Vis after lunch when the wind often drops. That way you get calm water for swimming and miss most of the day-tripper crowds.
