Half-Day 3-Island Speedboat

A 4.5 to 5-hour Blue Lagoon boat trip from Split, listed on the live booking page.

Overview

This half-day speedboat trip packs three islands into roughly four and a half to five hours on the water, departing from either Split or Trogir depending on the option booked. The first stop is the Blue Lagoon at Krknjaši off Veliki Drvenik, where the boat anchors for about an hour of swimming and snorkeling in clear turquoise water. From there it is a short hop to Maslinica on Šolta, a quiet village with a stone waterfront and a restored 16th-century castle that now serves as a hotel, before a final swim stop on the southern coast of Čiovo.

The pace is relaxed rather than packed. Each stop gets around an hour, the transfers between them are short, and the boat itself is set up for comfort, with shade, a shower, a fridge, Bluetooth music and storage for belongings. One bottle of water, coffee, snorkeling gear and life jackets are all provided.

It suits travellers who want a taste of island hopping without committing a full day, and reviewers describe it as a relaxed outing that works well as a group plan; one group of ten booked it as a birthday surprise. Morning and afternoon departures are both offered.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make the day smoother, from what the boat provides to how the stops actually run.

• Bring the basics. The listing recommends a hat, towel, sunscreen and cash. Food and tips are not included, so bring money if you plan to eat ashore.
• Pack a jacket. If the outside temperature is below 27-28°C, the operator suggests a light jacket for the boat trip.
• Snorkel gear included. Masks and snorkels are provided, along with life jackets for emergencies, which are not meant for swimming. Several reviewers singled out the swim stops, especially the Blue Lagoon, as the highlight of the day.
• Comfortable boat. The boat carries shade, a shower, a fridge and storage. Reviewers describe the boat as comfortable, and one mentioned that the crew offered refreshments during the ride.
• Fast but easygoing. One reviewer said it suits all ages and abilities but warned that it is a speedboat and goes fast.
• Weather dependent. The whole tour depends on sea and weather conditions, and the skipper can adjust or cancel it. If it is canceled, you can reschedule or take a full refund.

Common issues. The tour runs entirely at the mercy of the weather, and the skipper can change the itinerary or cancel on the day, with safety taking priority. Late arrivals are a real risk: on group tours the boat will not wait, and missed departures are non-refundable. Some travelers feel the final beach bar stop runs long and would prefer a shorter stay there, while at least one reviewer wanted more time at the last stop instead. Natural conditions such as sea color, visibility and marine life vary day to day and cannot be guaranteed.
