The Route
Blue Cave Tour from Split with Flexible Destinations
This is a sample itinerary - your skipper can adjust stops on the day based on sea conditions and your group's preferences. Blue Cave and Hvar are guaranteed; bays along Vis and Pakleni islands are flexible.
Split - Departure
Meet your skipper at Trumbićeva obala 14a, Split (by Hotel Ambasador) by 07:15. Briefing on board, then head toward the open sea - departure around 07:30.
Blue Cave, Biševo Island
The highlight of the day. The crossing from Split takes about 90 minutes by speedboat. You enter the famous blue-lit cave with official staff in small boats - entrance ticket included when selected in your booking. Swimming inside the cave is not permitted (protected since 2014); you spend roughly 10-15 minutes inside for photos at the best time of day.
Komiža, Vis Island
Stroll the charming fishing village on the western tip of Vis. Time for photos, ice cream, or a coffee in the harbour.
Flexible Bays - Southern Vis
Instead of stopping at overcrowded lagoons, your skipper picks a secluded cove with equally crystal-clear water - Stiniva, the Green Cave area, or hidden bays only locals know. Snorkelling gear and towels are on board.
Lunch Stop
Lunch is optional - add it for as many guests as you want when you book. The stop is in Milna on Hvar, at a seaside restaurant with terraces right by the water in a quiet fishing-village bay. The food is excellent - fresh Dalmatian grill and Mediterranean seafood in a relaxed setting. We take your order on board in the morning, so when you arrive the meal is already prepared - no waiting, no time wasted. Prefer to arrange lunch yourself? Your skipper can recommend places we trust. See how lunch works on your tour.
Hvar Town
Explore the lavender-scented streets, harbour fortress, and waterfront cafés of Croatia's sunniest island - typically around two hours of free time. Climb to Fortica fortress for the best photos. Travelling onward to Hvar? Bring your luggage and skip a separate ferry day.
Return to Split
Scenic cruise back along the coast, arriving in Split by late afternoon after a full 10-hour day at sea. If time allows, your skipper may stop at one more spot for a final swim before you reach the marina.
Sample itinerary - your skipper can adjust stops on the day. The route is the same for all three tiers; what changes is the boat and onboard comfort.

Looking for a more budget friendly option?€119 per person, speedboats with shade and sunbed, bring whatever you want from drinks and snacks. Sounds good?
In Split, we use three types of boats for Blue Cave tours - all speedboats, since the cave is about 33 nautical miles away (approximately 90 minutes). These three levels match different group sizes and comfort needs, and we offer the best models in each class. Every boat is maintained, insured, and run by a licensed skipper.

Practical answers for families, couples, and groups planning a full day at sea.
The boat price is fixed per charter - you choose Economy, Standard, or Deluxe. That price includes your private boat, skipper, fuel, insurance, drinks on board (bottled water, soft drinks, beer, and wine on board - enough for your full day at sea.), towels, and snorkelling gear. Blue Cave entrance tickets (€18-€24 per person by season) are optional: include them for your whole group, or leave them out. Grilled lunch (€35 per person) is also optional; for lunch you choose how many guests want it. Your quote shows the full total before you pay the deposit.
Yes. You can request hotel pick-up when you book. We arrange a partner taxi transfer for you; the transfer fee is paid directly to the driver, not included in the tour price - we only reserve the service on your behalf.
All-inclusive refers to the worry-free private charter experience: your group has the boat exclusively, with drinks, towels, snorkelling gear, and a licensed skipper included in the boat price - no surprise operational fees at the marina. Lunch is optional per guest, and Blue Cave tickets are optional for the whole group - so you pay for exactly what you select when booking.
Because you book the whole boat, the per-person cost depends on your group size. For example, on the Economy Atlantic Marine 750 Open (€1,200 per boat), two guests pay about €600 each for the boat alone, while six guests pay about €200 each. Add optional Blue Cave tickets (whole group) and lunch (per guest) if you select those options in booking.
Yes. Our skippers are licensed professionals with years of experience on the Adriatic. Life jackets are provided for all ages, and the route is designed with comfort and safety in mind. Children are welcome on all three private tour tiers.
The private tour lasts approximately 10 hours. Typical schedule: arrive at the marina by 07:15, depart around 07:30, and return to Split by about 18:00. Exact times may vary slightly with season and sea conditions.
Bring swimwear, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, comfortable flat shoes for walking in Hvar and Komiža, and a light cover-up. We provide towels and snorkelling gear on board. A small amount of cash is useful for souvenirs or tips ashore.
Free cancellation up to 72 hours before departure - we refund your deposit in full. Cancellations within 72 hours of departure forfeit the deposit. If you don't show up in the morning for the tour, we reserve the right to keep the deposit. If weather is unsafe, we reschedule your private tour or issue a full refund - we never insist on sailing in genuinely dangerous conditions.
Swimming inside the Blue Cave has been prohibited since 2014 to protect the cave's delicate ecosystem. Sunscreen and similar products can harm the environment inside the cave. You will enter with official staff in small boats for roughly 10-15 minutes. We stop at beautiful bays along Vis and Hvar where swimming and snorkelling are included.
All three private tiers follow the same expert route, the same optional restaurant lunch, and include the same drinks on board. They differ in boat type and onboard comfort. Economy uses an Atlantic Marine 750 Open (2026, 7.7 m centre-console day boat); Standard an Enzo 35 (12 m fiberglass speedboat with canopy, toilet, and stern sunbed); Deluxe a Colnago 35 Hard Top (13.2 m aluminium powerboat built in Split).
Private tours operate from 15 Apr - 31 Oct each season, weather permitting. Bookable dates run through 31 Oct. Peak dates in July and August fill quickly - we recommend reserving several weeks ahead.
Private means your group only - no other guests on the boat. Whether you are a couple, a family, or friends, the vessel and skipper are reserved exclusively for you for the full day. You set the pace within the route, and the skipper advises on the best stops for your group.
The Blue Cave is on Biševo island, about 33 nautical miles from Split - roughly 5 nm southwest of Vis. By private speedboat the crossing usually takes around 90 minutes depending on conditions and your departure point along the coast. We time the arrival for the best light inside the cave.
The cave alone is breathtaking but the journey from Split takes around 90 minutes each way, and you spend only 10-15 minutes inside the cave. That is why we designed a full-day private tour - Blue Cave as the highlight, plus Komiža, swimming bays on Vis, optional lunch, and Hvar Town. Most guests find the complete Adriatic day far more rewarding than a cave-only run.
You typically have around two hours of free time in Hvar - enough to explore the harbour, climb to Fortica fortress for panoramic photos, enjoy a coffee, or browse the old town. If you are continuing your holiday on Hvar, you can bring luggage and skip a separate ferry day.
Meet at Trumbićeva obala 14a, Split (by Hotel Ambasador) by 07:15 for briefing and departure around 07:30. Taxi or Uber drivers know the location as Hotel Ambasador. On-street parking near the marina is limited and expensive in July and August (around €5/hour). We recommend parking at Ul. Petra Svačića 18, Split (€1.5/hour) - about 10 minutes on foot to the marina.
Pay a secure online deposit by card (Stripe) when booking. The deposit is a fixed amount per boat for your chosen tier (× how many boats your group needs). We cover transaction fees. The remaining balance - boat remainder plus any lunch and Blue Cave tickets - is settled on the day of the tour in cash or by card. Your quote in the booking form shows the deposit, balance, and total before you pay.
Your skipper makes the final safety decision based on sea conditions. Private tours can be cancelled due to high waves or storms. If we cannot run safely, we reschedule or refund in full. We contact you as early as possible when a change is needed.
Please tell us when booking if anyone is pregnant, very young, or has back or neck issues. Private tours use speedboats and sea conditions can be bumpy. The Economy Atlantic Marine 750 Open is an open day boat - the Enzo 35 and Colnago 35 Hard Top are larger boats and generally more comfortable for a full day. We advise honestly if a tier is not suitable for your group.
Please call or message us if you are delayed - this is a private tour, so we can often adjust the plan a little when we know in advance. If you don't show up in the morning for the tour at all, we reserve the right to keep the deposit.
The Enzo 35 (Standard) and Colnago 35 Hard Top (Deluxe) have a toilet on board. The Economy Atlantic Marine 750 Open is an open centre-console layout - we use shore facilities at our stops, all with toilets nearby. Snorkelling equipment is included on every private tour, along with towels and drinks on board. Optional hotel pick-up can be arranged at booking - paid directly to the transfer provider.
Yes - this is one of our more common requests. We have space on board to store your bags, so you can enjoy the full day at sea, see a few islands, and end the tour where you have booked your stay (Hvar or another island we agree). Just mention it in the booking notes.
