    About this experience

    Escape the city crowds for a relaxing 7-hour boutique cruise through the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic. Sailing aboard the spacious yacht "Polaris", this tour is designed for ultimate comfort with strictly limited passenger capacity. Discover the untouched beauty of two stunning Croatian islands without the rush. The Itinerary: We set sail from Split, heading toward secluded, hidden coves perfect for swimming and snorkeling straight from the boat. Our journey continues to a picturesque, historic island village. Here, you can stroll through charming stone streets, relax at a local beach, or enjoy the authentic Dalmatian lifestyle. All-Inclusive Onboard Comfort: From morning until we head back, we’ve got you covered. Enjoy a freshly brewed coffee and croissant upon departure, followed by a delicious freshly prepared lunch. Our open bar with unlimited wine, beer, and soft drinks is at your disposal throughout the entire trip, all served by our attentive and professional crew.

    A gorgeous full day boat trip from Split

    The Polaris full day boat trip is the best I’ve been on. Everything is wonderfully organised and runs smoothly thanks to the fantastic crew and Captain Marin. The islands are beautiful, the sea gloriously clear and warm for swimming, snorkelling, paddle boarding or just lying in a doughnut. The food is delicious and substantial with allergies catered for. This is a relaxing fun day, with small numbers on a beautiful restored ship, not a packed booze cruise! The Polaris trip won’t simply be a fabulous day out, it will be the highlight of your visit to Croatia 😁

    Amazing Family Day!!

    Amazing day out with our family of 5! They aren’t kidding, they really don’t squeeze tons of tourists in! Even during peak season the boat felt very spacious and there were lots of options for seating, both in the sun and in the shade. The food was delicious, portions were actually way too big for the kids. They had plenty of paddle boards, snorkel equipment and floaties. The staff were super friendly. My kids rated this a 10/5!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you !

    Great time, great crew

    Very enjoyable day. The boat was comfortable and clean. The lunch was good. There were plenty of SUPs, tubes, snorkel gear and fins that were shared when anchored in the cove. The small village we visited was relaxing. It was an easy flat short stroll to 2 nice beaches. I preferred the one opposite the docking location. Every crew member was personable and eager to make sure you were enjoying the voyage. I think it is a good value for the money.

    Response from the operator: Thank you !

    Boutique Islands Swimming Cruise with Open Bar & Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.

    How much does Boutique Islands Swimming Cruise with Open Bar & Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Split usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Boutique Islands Swimming Cruise with Open Bar & Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Split is not rushed.

    Is Boutique Islands Swimming Cruise with Open Bar & Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 197 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Boutique Islands Swimming Cruise with Open Bar & Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Boutique Islands Swimming Cruise with Open Bar & Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Boutique Islands Swimming Cruise with Open Bar & Lunch?

    +

    Around 69 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Split can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Split and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Boutique Islands Swimming Cruise with Open Bar & Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Split within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Split?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Split experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister of History, Split Walking Tour with Professor of History, From Split: Krka Waterfalls, Food & Wine Tasting Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Split?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Split?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
