Boat day with friends and Teo
Pick-up on time, by the friendly Teo. Went on a full-day boat trip with friends. Our skipper, Teo, showed us the blue lagoon and other bays to cool down in. Had a blast!

Escape the Heat: Take a Private Boat to Trogir—Split's True Hidden Gem
Highly recommend renting a private boat with friends to explore the walled city of Trogir, the Blue Lagoon, and a quiet cove for swimming. It was the perfect escape—refreshing, scenic, and flexible. Our skipper was accommodating, allowing us extra time in Trogir and adjusting the itinerary with ease. To truly enjoy Split, you need to get out on the water. Trogir is a medieval gem, full of charm, gift shops, and, of course, plenty of gelato. Just be prepared—July is extremely hot, and the rocky landscape absorbs the heat, making it feel even warmer. The stop at the Blue Lagoon was underwhelming for me—somewhat uneventful and a bit touristy—but it remains a popular destination. The cove where we swam is affiliated with the boat company, but if you’d like to use a beach bed during your stop, there’s an extra fee. One note: as with much of coastal Croatia, don’t expect a distinct local cuisine or cultural identity—it tends to reflect strong Italian influences. Still, seeing Trogir by boat is absolutely worth it. Skip staying in Split and head out—you won’t regret it.
Response from the operator: Dear Lynn, thank you so much for your amazing review and recommendation for all our future guests. Best regards from Providenca Charter&Travel

Blue Adriatic without a crowd
Relax and enjoy a private boating experience. Avoid large group boats. It’s well worth the extra cost to hire a skilled skipper. We had a great one who took us to our desired destinations and provided excellent suggestions. Start early and head to the Blue Lagoon first. The reasonable-priced restaurants in Maslinica, the port village on the island of Šolta, are worth it. We found a secluded cove away from everyone, even our skipper had never been to before.
Response from the operator: Dear John, thank you so much for your review. Best regards

Private Speed Boat Experience: Hidden Bays & No Crowds: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Private Speed Boat Experience: Hidden Bays & No Crowds cost?
+
Prices start at $492 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 Private Speed Boat Experience: Hidden Bays & No Crowds take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Speed Boat Experience: Hidden Bays & No Crowds worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 53 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 Private Speed Boat Experience: Hidden Bays & No Crowds?
+
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 Private Speed Boat Experience: Hidden Bays & No Crowds suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Speed Boat Experience: Hidden Bays & No Crowds?
+
Around 19 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Speed Boat Experience: Hidden Bays & No Crowds 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.
What is included in Private Speed Boat Experience: Hidden Bays & No Crowds?
