Sept. 30 2026 boat tour with Leia, Luca & crew
It was very easy, organized and fun. Beautiful location to boat around, and the waters are crystal clear. The crew was awesome, and "Princess Leia" was the BEST - an amazing cruise director. :)

Best Day Ever.
This was the best day of my life! Everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish, everything was so smooth, organized, and incredibly well planned. I was so impressed by the entire experience and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day. If you’re in Split, this is an absolute MUST! You won’t regret it!.

Fun and great value for money
Wow, what can I say. As a 31 and 27 year old, we sought to book this operator as we wanted a bit more luxury than a typical young person’s ‘booze cruise’, and it was everything we hoped it would be. First of all, you’re on board a modern catamaran, with space to walk around, as well as benches and chairs to sit at. Then there are sunbathing spots at the back, including steps into the sea and a diving platform to jump off. We were really impressed with the quality of food provided: cheese pastries, chicken salads, fruit platters – there was never any attempt to cut costs; they provided top-notch, tasty food. The stops they do are brilliant – sea swims in picturesque bays, and then the spot in Hvar was a highlight. It felt like the tour was carefully curated, and was planned and timed by what people have liked on previous tours. Lastly, the host of the tour, Lea, was an absolute delight. She demonstrated a masterclass in hosting; she brought the vibes, made us laugh and lifted all our spirits. She was a pleasure to meet and made our experience so special. To end – this was the best thing we did while we were in Split. We had so much fun and loved every moment of it. It cost us £110 per person, and I have to say, it was worth every penny. You absolutely get your money’s worth. If you want a tour which is slightly more civilised than an unhinged booze cruise, but still really fun and has plenty of drinking involved, this is the tour for you. Thank you for a great day.

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to Hvar & Pakleni Islands with Food and free Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to Hvar & Pakleni Islands with Food and free Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $96 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 Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to Hvar & Pakleni Islands with Food and free Drinks take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 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 Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to Hvar & Pakleni Islands with Food and free Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 729 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 Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to Hvar & Pakleni Islands with Food and free Drinks?
+
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 Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to Hvar & Pakleni Islands with Food and free Drinks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to Hvar & Pakleni Islands with Food and free Drinks?
+
Around 255 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 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to Hvar & Pakleni Islands with Food and free Drinks 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 Walking Tour with Professor of History, Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister 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.

Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
