Highly recommend! Local feel to the city
What a beautiful experience! Oh to be back on a boat in Croatia.. This tour is what dreams are made of. Dina’s passion for her city and the stories she shared with us about the history and with her own personal touch of growing up in the streets of Zadar is something that will stick with us forever. Such beautiful hosts that took us around the Old town, showed us everything and made us feel like we were part of the team that player in those streets years sgo. Never forgetting this experience and can’t wait to come back to the beautiful city pf Zadar!

Gajeta boat ride around the Old Town followed by a walking tour through town.
We highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Zadar Old Town. On a scale of 1 to 10 it was a 12! Ante and Gina could not have been more pleasant, any more knowledgeable, nor any more passionate about the historic city they love. We truly enjoyed a conversation with them as it was definitely not the prepared speech you hear from many tour guides. The boat ride on the gajeta made us the tourist attraction for the crowd of tourists visiting the Sea Organ! Our visit to Zadar was made very memorable by this time well spent with Ante and Gina.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled that Ante and Dina made your visit to Zadar so memorable, with their knowledge, passion, and engaging conversation. It’s fantastic to hear that the gajeta boat ride added such a special touch to your experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Thumbs up 👍 😍
One of the highlights of our week away, and got a massive thumbs up from the new visitors to Zadar in our group! The boat is beautiful, very unique, and both Ante and Dina were wonderful guides and hosts. They were knowledgeable and engaging about their city, and kind enough to share some great tips for local eats and drinks too. I would highly recommend and would definitely be interested to try one of their other tours next time I visit Zadar ☺️ thanks again guys!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Zadar Half-Day Sailing with a Traditional Lateen Sail by Šušur: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zadar.
How much does Zadar Half-Day Sailing with a Traditional Lateen Sail by Šušur cost?
+
Prices start at $47 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 Zadar Half-Day Sailing with a Traditional Lateen Sail by Šušur take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Zadar Half-Day Sailing with a Traditional Lateen Sail by Šušur worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 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 Zadar Half-Day Sailing with a Traditional Lateen Sail by Šušur?
+
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 Zadar Half-Day Sailing with a Traditional Lateen Sail by Šušur suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zadar Half-Day Sailing with a Traditional Lateen Sail by Šušur?
+
Around 9 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zadar Half-Day Sailing with a Traditional Lateen Sail by Šušur 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, Blue Bay Snorkeling & Cocktails 3 Islands Speedboat 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 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.
What happens to Zadar Half-Day Sailing with a Traditional Lateen Sail by Šušur if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Zadar. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Zadar Half-Day Sailing with a Traditional Lateen Sail by Šušur?
