Join us for a private speed boat tour to the most beautiful and world known Sakarun beach on Dugi otok. The most beautiful sandy beach in the Adriatic is situated on the far NW of the Dugi otok island. While cruising towards the uninhabited side of Dugi otok whose name (Long Island) uncovers its 55km length, you’ll see a lot of islands on the way, we’ll stop near the sunken ship near Lagnići island where you can snorkel and explore the shipwreck from the ’80s for a bit before we proceed by the Veli Rat lighthouse, which was built in 1847, and is still the highest lighthouse in the Adriatic. The next stop is the famous Sakarun bay. The beach is situated on the uninhabited side of Dugi Otok, its geographical position makes it hard to reach, and its pristine white sand and tourquise sea makes it worldly famous. Opt for a visit to Golubinka cave and Veli Žal beach, the most magical places in the Archipelago situated even more further, explore the Croatian Caribbean privately!

Best day at the sea with friends
We did the Croatian Caribbean Tour with our group of 8 friends and we had the best day ever! We really enjoyed the trip with our skipper Ivan who was super chilled and supportive. He gave us the time we needed at the serveral spots and also reserved a table for lunch for our group. We would definitely recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with us. We're glad that you enjoyed our tour with Speed Boat Zadar and Ivan

Just a perfect day
We have had the best time with our great Captain Ivan. It was fun, pleasant and easy. Everything was taken care of. Easy booking, good communication, on time. There is nothing I would change.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with us. We're thrilled you enjoyed our tour with Speed Boat Zadar and our skipper Ivan

Captains Choice boat trip
We had a great day trip in the speedboat. Ivan was a very good guide and took us to some lovely places. Kids loved the tubing

Best day ever!
Have just got back from 10 days in Croatia and this day was the absolute stand out! I contacted Speed Boat Zadar a few months before our trip, as I had planned to propose to my girlfriend on the tour. The team and particularly our skipper Marin, went above and beyond to make the whole day perfect. The tour itself was already the best day ever, visiting locations that only the local knowledge provides meant we were swimming in the most beautiful sandy bays as well as having lunch in a stunning setting. Because of this I could not recommend the day or staff higher, the extra help I got to make the proposal that bit more special was especially appreciated. Thank you and we will most definitely be booking if ever back in Zadar.

Private Speedboat tour to Sakarun Bay and Golubinka cave: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zadar.
How much does Private Speedboat tour to Sakarun Bay and Golubinka cave cost?
+
Prices start at $228 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zadar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Speedboat tour to Sakarun Bay and Golubinka cave 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 Zadar is not rushed.
Is Private Speedboat tour to Sakarun Bay and Golubinka cave worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zadar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Speedboat tour to Sakarun Bay and Golubinka cave?
+
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 Speedboat tour to Sakarun Bay and Golubinka cave 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 Speedboat tour to Sakarun Bay and Golubinka cave?
+
Around 8 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 Zadar 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 Zadar and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Speedboat tour to Sakarun Bay and Golubinka cave 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 Zadar 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 Zadar?
+
On Outty we rank every Zadar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Zadar: Luxury Island Boat Tour, Snorkeling & Unlimited Wine, Zadar Highlights: Old Town, Sea Organ & Local Tastings, From Zadar Plitvice Lakes Guided Day Tour with Tickets. 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 Zadar?
+
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 Zadar?
+
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.
