Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly does the tour depart from in Hvar?
Most private tours depart from the main Hvar Town harbor (Riva), directly in front of the old town. Many skippers can also pick you up from hotel docks (e.g., Amfora, Podstine) or the ACI Marina. Add your pickup point to your request.
How far in advance should I book?
Book at least 3-5 days in advance during peak season (July-August). For last-minute dates, send a trip request anyway: we pass it to local skippers, and those with a free boat reply with a price.
Can you pick us up from our yacht?
Usually yes. If you are staying on a yacht or sailboat anchored near Hvar, the skipper can often collect you directly from it. Mention where you are anchored in your request.
What if the weather is bad?
Skippers watch the forecast closely and will not sail in unsafe conditions. Cancellation terms are set by the skipper or boat company that runs your trip. You see them in the offer before you pay, including what happens if bad weather stops the trip. Light winds or clouds usually do not stop a tour - the skipper simply adjusts the route.
Are the tours really private?
Yes. It is just your group, your skipper and the boat. No strangers, no fixed itinerary. You decide where to go and how long to stay at each spot.
