★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7,150 reviews · 10 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $111 a head Top rated

Speed across the Adriatic from Split or Trogir with an English-speaking skipper and guide. Visit the Blue Cave, Komiža, Stiniva Cove, Budikovac, Hvar, and Mamma Mia’s Srebrena Beach. Boats carry up to 12 people, but expect spray, wind, and a very bumpy ride in rough seas.

“Great experience. The guides were lovely. It is over an hour in cold wind to get to the first island. I wish we knew to bring warmer clothes and a wind breaker. We were freezing. The day warmed up to allow for some swimming but the hour ride back was cool and bumpy.”

“Enjoyable time had by all! Fast boat wasn’t a bad ride at all, after reading a couple of reviews I was a bit worried but it was smooth and relaxing. Prefered the shorter journey to Symi than some of the boats offered. Symi is worth the visit, very pretty. Had a nice meal and shared it with the fish. And got to swim in St George’s bay on the return. Would recommend!”
