Tour Stops
1. Žirje Bay - Brač Island
09:30 – 10:00
Our first stop is a peaceful bay near Bol, often around the area of Žirje – calm, quiet and perfect for a morning swim before the crowds.
Crystal clear water, pine-scented breeze and the feeling that you’ve arrived somewhere private and untouched.
After about 30 minutes of swimming and warming up for the day, we continue toward Bol town.
2. Bol Town (Optional Coffee Break)
10:15 – 10:45
A short navigation brings us to the port of Bol, a charming little town with a beautiful stone waterfront.
Here you can take a relaxed 30-minute coffee break in one of the seaside cafés, walk a few steps through the old streets, or simply enjoy the view from the boat.
It’s an optional stop – if you prefer to skip it, we head straight to Zlatni Rat.
3. Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) Beach
10:50 – 12:00
Zlatni Rat is one of Croatia’s most iconic beaches – a narrow white spit stretching into the turquoise sea, shifting shape with the wind.
Your skipper will drop you off at the beach and pick you up at an agreed time, giving you time to enjoy Zlatni Rat at your own pace.
After soaking up the beauty of the Adriatic’s star beach, we continue south.
4. Vrboska or Jelsa (Lunch Stop – Optional) - Hvar Island
12:45 – 14:00
Depending on the mood and weather, we dock in either Vrboska or Jelsa – small towns full of charm and good food.
You can enjoy lunch at a seaside restaurant, explore the old stone streets, or just rest in the shade.
This is a longer stop, usually 1 to 1.5 hours, before we head into quieter waters again.
5. Zečevo Island
14:30 – 15:15
A small island near Hvar, known for its clear turquoise waters and lively summer atmosphere.
It’s a popular swim stop with a great beach bar where you can enjoy a drink or light snack by the sea.
The coast is rocky but accessible, perfect for a refreshing swim and a short break.
We stay here for about 45 minutes before moving to our final bay.
6. Mala Stiniva Bay
15:45 – 17:00
Our final major stop is one of Brač’s hidden treasures – a narrow bay with dramatic cliffs and serene water.
Mala Stiniva offers a perfect end to the day: peaceful swimming, shade, and a feeling of complete escape.
After around an hour here, we slowly cruise back toward Makarska.
