Set out from Split at 8:00 a.m. for a full day on the Adriatic. You will swim near the Pakleni Islands, explore Hvar town and its Fortica fortress, then relax in Milna on Brač. Breakfast, lunch, soft drinks, wine, paddleboards, inflatables, and a friendly English-speaking crew are included. The boat can carry up to 130 people.

“The trip was good and we enjoyed the island visits. However, although Nana worked hard we felt she needed more help. Food was delivered as fast as one person can serve 130 people but inevitably the burger and chips were cold. They were tasty but it wd have been better if they were hot! Not really gourmet in our opinion.”
