All rentals run 10 AM to 6 PM departing from Hvar Harbour. That's a full eight hours on the water.
(Sometimes we can start earlier and finish later, it always depends so if you have some special plans, let me know).The per-person maths: A €550 speedboat split between 9 people is €61 each. A €1,100 yacht between 10 people is €110 each. For a full day on the Adriatic, seeing the same water that you saw in Game of Thrones.
What's Included And What Isn't
Self-Drive Boats
The price covers the boat and basic safety gear. Fuel is not included for the bigger boats, for the smaller ones it is (always check). For fuel you'll pay separately based on where you go and how far. For Pakleni Islands (5-25 minutes away) fuel costs are minimal. For a full day exploring further, budget an extra €60–€100+ depending on the boat and how you drive. If you don't believe in proper trim, you will feel it at the fuel station.
Skippered Speedboats & Yachts
When the skipper is included in the price. Fuel is included (still always check). There are no surprises with this, I'll tell you what to expect upfront when you book.
Private Tours
Tours are where skipper and fuel are both included in the tour price. The Pakleni Islands tour starts at €300 for 4 people. More people means a bigger boat, and the price adjusts accordingly. WhatsApp me with your group size for an exact quote.
How To Pick The Right Boat
Group of 2–5 people
If you have no licesne, a small self-drive boat is the way. The Passara at €130 is perfect for a relaxed day around the Pakleni Islands. If you want more range and speed, the Sympathy at €230 gives you more confidence in open water. If you have a license, then it can be from 5 HP to 250 HP
Group of 6–9 people
The speedboats are your sweet spot. BSC or Baracuda at €550, self-drive if you have a licence or I can provide a skipper. Split between 7-9 people it's very affordable and you get serious range.
Group of 10–12 people
Yacht charter all day. Enjoy luxury on the water. The Mercan 35 at €1,100 is the most popular option. If you want something bigger and more impressive, the Colnago 45 at €1,600 is hard to argue with for a group of 12.
