Ivan messaged me before our trip and I felt like the communication was excellent. He provided great commentary and was very flexible & accommodating for our private tour!

Greetings and welcome! 🙂 My name is Ivan and I come from Trogir, a small ancient city marked by masters & UNESCO protected. Whole my life I was connected with the sea and nature so as young I start to drive a boat with my father, and explore our local beauties. My country has more than 1244 island so there is a lot to see! As I was truly interested in this, I learned quickly and supported it with a maritime college degree. Today, I can proudly say that I have the required knowledge and licenses to operate speedboat tours. Custom tours are my specialty, and each tour is designed with every customer’s needs and wishes in mind. Please don’t hesitate to tell me what you would like to do, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. One of the “must-do” things in Croatia is a speedboat tour, offering a perfect opportunity to enjoy a scenic boat ride while visiting multiple destinations with a local expert. Just a 20-minute ride from Trogir brings us to magnificent bays with untouched nature, ideal for relaxation and good vibes. It would be my pleasure to introduce you to the area where I live. Hop on board, and let’s create a unique, lifelong memory together. University degree of "Maritime inspection" Certificate of "Travel agency office manager" Skipper license category "C" I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I wish you a wonderful stay and hope to welcome you on board soon!

This tour is all about pure enjoyment - immersing yourself in nature, crystal-clear waters, and the breathtaking scenery of the Dalmatian coast. After just a 20-minute speedboat ride, we arrive at the Blue Lagoon, nestled between three islands - a perfect escape from the stress and crowds of city life. In moments, you’ll see why it’s called the “Blue Lagoon.” Next, we visit the charming village of Maslinica on Šolta Island, the only settlement on the island’s west coast. Wander through this timeless village, where centuries seem to stand still, and fall in love with its enchanting surroundings. Our journey continues to the Bay of Duga on Čiovo Island, a stunning spot on the southern coast, ideal for relaxing and swimming in crystal-clear waters over a soft sandy bottom. As your experienced skipper, it’s my pleasure to guide you to these remarkable locations in a unique, personalized way. By avoiding busy hours at popular spots, my goal is to offer you more privacy, calm, and an unforgettable experience.

Ivan wasn’t able to make it as his wife was due any day, but Peter filled in as our captain and was great. This was perhaps our favorite outing of everything we planned during our 11-night cruise through Italy and Croatia. It was a hot day, so getting out on the water and being able to swim felt fantastic. Peter made the whole experience easy and enjoyable, and it was a great way to spend our day in Split. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Book with confidence!
The day was awesome and so much fun! We loved swimming and the locations were memorable! Highly recommend!
Beautiful boat and a perfect day for this group of 10. Ivan was great to work with. Easy to communicate with. Everything was wonderful.
The pickup was a little challenging since the pickup spot is a 20 minute cab ride from the cruise port even though the pickup spot could be swam to from the cruise port. It would have been helpful to know this before hand. Equally, I understood that Ivan was the tour guide, but Peter was the guide. Sometimes those switcharoos in a foreign country are a little concerning. Lastly, the boat was not the boat that the description indicates. Much older and smaller than I thought. That being said, the day was incredible and accomplished all of the site seeing goals I had in mind when I booked it. Peter was a delightful guide and personalized the experience for us in an incredible way. My 4 star scoring rather than 5 star scoring is not a reflection of Peter. Peter was incredible and is 10 stars. The blue lagoon is a must see.
The guide did his best to please us!
