Overview

Skip the crowded group boats and explore the best of Vis and the Pakleni Islands at your own pace, with a boat and local skipper all to yourselves.

We are one of the oldest still-active boating companies on Hvar, and our skippers grew up on these waters — they know when to reach the Blue Cave on Biševo to avoid the longest lines and where to anchor for the clearest snorkeling.

In one day you'll see the silver-blue glow inside the Blue Cave, swim and snorkel in the Green Cave, admire Stiniva Cove — voted Europe's most beautiful beach — and jump off the boat into the turquoise lagoon at Budikovac Island. We finish at Palmižana, the most popular bay in the Pakleni Islands, for lunch at one of its famous restaurants.

Because the tour is private, the itinerary is yours: linger where you love it, add a stop in Vis town or Komiža, or skip anything. Snorkeling gear is on board, an underwater GoPro is available on request, and the Bluetooth stereo means the soundtrack is yours too.

Stiniva Cove

Voted Europe's most beautiful beach in 2016, Stiniva is a pebble cove enclosed by towering cliffs that part just wide enough for a boat to peek in. We anchor outside the cove so you can swim in or take photos from the water.

Blue Cave

The magical Blue Cave on Biševo Island is the highlight of the tour. We dock nearby and you board the official small boat into the cave, where sunlight reflects off the seabed and fills the cave with glowing silver-blue light. Time at this stop includes ticket lines, which can be long in peak season — your skipper will time the visit to keep the wait as short as possible. Entrance fee EUR 24 per person, paid on site.

Vis

Before heading to the Pakleni Islands, choose an optional stop on Vis — espresso on the Riva in Vis town, a wander through the fishing village of Komiža, or a visit to a hidden WWII-era military tunnel. Your skipper will suggest what fits your day best.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Blue Cave, Vis & Pakleni Islands Private Speedboat from Hvar?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
