Split Speedboat Tours

The Best Speedboat Tours from Split

For several years now, Split has seen a big raise of boat tours that are in offer. Since the initial idea of the 5 island boat tour itinerary (which was first introduced a few years ago), the tour name, the destinations and and the small group experience really impressed the tourists and it gain amazing popularity. As there is now such a huge interest in the "Blue Cave and the 5 island tour experience", most boats operate only this tour as the interest in any other itinerary is much lower. So here you will see almost exclusively speedboat tours to the blue cave. There are a few exceptions, most notably speedboat tours to the Blue Lagoon, which are half day tours and a good alternative if you only have half a day to spend on a boat trip.

Regarding the type of speedboats that are in offer, a lot of them are inflatable speedboats with jockey seats for up to 12 passengers + 2 staff members. They are absolutely secure and safe to ride (in the case of bad weather the tour might get canceled regardless of the boat type). You can also expect them to have some plastic covers in case of rain or winds that might otherwise make you wet or uncomfortable.

Recently however a lot of them are upgrading to really beautiful plastic or even metal hull boats, which are more like a yacht, having a hard top cover where you are absolutely covered from all sides and safe from the sun, the winds and the sea and have decks that allow for sunbathing and a convenient way to climb on board from the sea. These boats also tend to have a toilet on board (which the inflatable ones don't have) but the tours with these type of speedboats are usually more expensive.

It was a great experience all day long. We were 8 persons on the speedboat, and we all enjoyed it a lot, the crew was terrific, they make sure that we feel great and enjoy everything. Their planned time for each activity was perfect. Comfortable boat, great sightseeing, speedboat drag race with other bots, swimming, dancing, jumping from cliffs, great place for lunch, and more. We definitely recommend everyone to enjoy such a great trip.

I loved my experience in the Luxury Speedboat. We visited so many amazing islands. My guide Nena was incredible - she did a fantastic job. Booking through happy to visit was amazing - they were so helpful always, sent the voucher right away and helped in anything you needed. Pick up was very easy, they were on time. I loved visitting the island where Mamma Mia was filmed, then lovely beaches and finally Carpe Diem beach in Hvar was paradise! Definitely recommend it to future travellers - you will have an awesome time 😊 tip: sit in the back of the boat, it’s so relaxing ;)
