Trogir Private boat tour swimming/diving

Three blue-water stops await. This private boat trip from Trogir visits the island of Šolta, Krknjaši Blue Lagoon, and Drvenik Veli in about four and a half hours. I like the mix of swimming, snorkeling, sightseeing, and a final look at Trogir from the water. I also like the simple pricing: $306 covers a private group of up to four people, with fuel, a skipper, masks, inflatables, water, Wi-Fi, and local car transfers included.

The main consideration is time. You cover several places, but each stop is fairly short, and roughly two hours of the outing goes toward boat travel. The tour is best for a small group that wants a relaxed sea day with its own boat, not for anyone seeking a long, slow stay at one beach.

Key things to know before booking

• Šolta brings the most unusual stop: You can swim around a sunken ship and look below the surface with the provided masks.
• Krknjaši Blue Lagoon is the postcard stop: Expect turquoise water, scenic views, and time to swim.
• Drvenik Veli adds a sandy-bottom bay: It is suited to floating, snorkeling, and a break with light refreshments.
• The private format matters: Your group of up to four has a skipper and does not share the boat with a larger crowd.
• Trogir gets a different viewpoint: The return route includes a photo stop and views of the old town from the water.
• The package is unusually inclusive: Fuel, water, masks, inflatable toys, a shower, Wi-Fi, and nearby car transfers are covered.

A private boat day from Trogir

This is a compact coastal outing built around water time. You meet at an agreed location, board a speedboat, and head toward Šolta before continuing to Krknjaši Blue Lagoon and Drvenik Veli. The route finishes with a slow look at Trogir from offshore.

The private setup is the first thing to consider. The price is $306 per group of up to four, not $306 per person. For four people, that works out to $76.50 each. For two people, the per-person cost is higher, but you still get the privacy of your own group, a dedicated skipper, and more flexibility than a standard shared excursion.

The advertised outing lasts about 4 hours and 30 minutes. That is long enough for a proper half-day on the water, but not long enough to linger at every stop. The timings supplied for the route add up to a busy schedule, with speedboat legs of about 45, 25, 35, and 40 minutes, plus stops at Šolta, Blue Lagoon, Drvenik Veli, and Trogir.

That means the boat ride is part of the experience, not just transportation. You will spend a fair amount of the tour moving between islands and bays. If you enjoy sea views and the feel of a speedboat, that is a plus. If you want hours on a single beach, it may feel rushed.

Pickup choices around Trogir and Split

Pickup is available from several useful points:

• Obala Mira Barešića 55 in Trogir
• Trogir
• Split Airport
• Seget Vranjica Beach
• Belvedere Camping
• Apartments Lenka

The departure point can also be agreed in advance. If the boat cannot collect you directly, local car transport to the boat is provided, and nearby transfers are free. This is a practical detail for anyone staying outside central Trogir or arriving without a car.

You should confirm the exact meeting place by mobile before the day of the trip. The listed contact number is +385 91 302 4661. English and Croatian are spoken, so communication should be straightforward for basic arrangements and onboard guidance.

The return has the same general range of drop-off choices, including Trogir, Split Airport, Seget Vranjica Beach, Belvedere Camping, Apartments Lenka, and Obala Mira Barešića 55. If you are connecting with a flight, leave plenty of time beyond the stated tour duration. A boat outing can be affected by sea and weather conditions, and the exact return time is not guaranteed to the minute.

Šolta and the sunken ship

The first major stop is Šolta, an island known here for a very specific attraction: a sunken ship. You can swim and use a mask to look around the wreck in the water.

This gives the day a little more character than a simple beach-hopping trip. You are not only stopping for a swim. You are also getting a small underwater sightseeing experience, with the ship providing something to look at beneath the surface.

Keep your expectations measured. The supplied information does not give the shipwreck’s name, depth, age, size, or exact condition. It is best to think of it as a short snorkel stop rather than a formal wreck expedition. The included masks are useful for seeing fish and the underwater surroundings, but the tour is not presented as a scuba activity.

The scheduled Šolta stop lasts about 55 minutes, including free time and sightseeing. That is enough for a swim and a look around, though you will want to keep an eye on the time if you also hope to relax on the boat.

Krknjaši Blue Lagoon and its famous water

After Šolta, the speedboat continues toward Krknjaši Blue Lagoon. This is the most recognizable swimming stop on the route, with turquoise water and scenic views along the way.

The appeal is easy to understand. The cove offers a change from open-water travel, and the sandy bottom makes it pleasant for swimming and floating. You can use the masks to look below the surface, although the supplied details do not promise a particular marine species or underwater feature.

The stop lasts about one hour and includes a guided tour element and views from the route. Light refreshments are available onboard, so you do not need to leave the water in search of a café during the stop.

Blue Lagoon is one of the most popular spots on the Adriatic, so it may not feel secluded, especially during the high season. That popularity is part of the tradeoff. You get an easy-to-reach, highly scenic swimming place, but you should not expect an untouched bay.

I would treat this as the visual centerpiece of the trip. Bring a waterproof phone case if you want photographs from the water, though the tour itself does not list photography equipment among the inclusions.

Drvenik Veli for swimming and a sandy bottom

The route then reaches Drvenik Veli, where the schedule allows about 55 minutes for a break, sightseeing, swimming, snorkeling, and an onboard meal option. The bay is described as having clear turquoise water and a sandy bottom.

For many people, this may be the most comfortable stop of the day. A sandy bottom is pleasant underfoot, especially if you prefer wading and floating to swimming over rocks. The inflatable toys also give you another way to enjoy the water without spending the whole stop snorkeling.

The supplied details mention inflatable boats and other inflatable toys, plus masks and bottled water. These extras matter on a short private trip because you can switch between activities without bringing a full load of beach equipment.

Food is not included in the base price. Lunch can be requested, with local choices such as grilled fish or lamb available at an additional cost. Because the standard trip includes water and light refreshments but not lunch, ask ahead if you want a full meal arranged.

The wording around an onboard meal means you should confirm what is available, when it will be served, and what it costs before departure. Do not assume the food option is part of the $306 package.

The ride back and Trogir from the sea

Before returning to your drop-off point, the boat tours through Trogir. This gives you a chance to see the town from a different angle, with a photo stop and scenic views on the way.

Trogir is often explored on foot, so this water-level view adds a useful contrast. You get the outline of the town, its waterfront, and the surrounding sea rather than another walk through narrow streets. The supplied route also mentions marine life viewing and a hop-on hop-off stop, but the exact length of the Trogir pause may vary within the overall schedule.

Do not expect a full guided walking visit here. The day is built around the boat and swimming stops. If you want to explore Trogir’s streets, buildings, and restaurants, plan separate time before or after the excursion.

The return boat leg is listed at about 40 minutes before the Trogir portion. After that, you can be dropped at the agreed location. This final stretch is a calm way to finish, especially if you have spent the afternoon swimming and using the inflatables.

What is included for the price

The package includes more than the boat itself:

• A skipper
• Fuel
• Bluetooth Boss Audio
• Inflatable toys and masks
• Bottled water
• A shower
• Wi-Fi
• Local car transfer to the boat

Fuel inclusion is important on a speedboat route with several long travel legs. You do not have to guess whether a fuel surcharge will appear later.

The shower is useful after swimming, though the supplied information does not explain whether it is onboard or at a stop. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth audio are convenient extras, but the strongest value comes from the private boat, included equipment, and transfers.

The biggest cost question is group size. Four people sharing the $306 price get a reasonable half-day private outing with several stops. Two people pay more per head, but may still prefer it to a shared boat if privacy and a dedicated itinerary matter.

Lunch is the main extra to budget for. Local grilled fish and lamb can be requested, but food is not included.

Weather, comfort, and the limits of the plan

The experience is built around swimming, so weather matters. A verified booking on August 9, 2024 described the trip as enjoyable even during rain and a storm. That is encouraging, but it does not mean conditions will always be comfortable or that every planned water activity will run normally.

The operator may adjust the route when sea conditions change. You should be prepared for a less sunny experience than the brochures suggest, particularly if the forecast is unsettled. The fact that one outing remained enjoyable in rain shows that the boat ride and scenery can still have value, but it should not replace a proper weather check.

The boat has a shower, water, and inflatable equipment, all of which help with comfort. Still, bring sun protection, a towel, swimwear, and a dry change of clothes. These items are not listed as included, and they are sensible for any swim-focused trip.

The music system may suit a private group that wants its own atmosphere. Keep the volume respectful, especially if the skipper needs to give instructions or if your group wants to hear local information.

Who will get the most from this tour

I would recommend this outing to:

• Couples or families of up to four who want a private boat
• Small groups that enjoy swimming more than long guided walks
• People staying around Trogir, Seget Vranjica, or the listed pickup points
• Visitors who want to combine an underwater wreck view with famous blue water
• Anyone who values included equipment and local transport
• Families who may enjoy the inflatable toys and short activity changes

It is less suitable for anyone seeking a full-day island tour, a serious wreck excursion, or a long stop at one quiet beach. The route is active and varied, but the schedule gives you less than an hour at most stops.

The outing also suits people who want a simple booking arrangement. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before departure, and you can reserve now and pay later. Starting times depend on availability, so confirm the departure time before making other plans.

Should you book this Trogir boat tour?

I would book it if you have a group of four and want a private half-day built around swimming, snorkeling, and scenic boat rides. The best value comes from sharing the fixed price, using the included masks and inflatables, and taking advantage of the pickup and drop-off help.

The strongest points are the three distinct water stops, the Šolta shipwreck, the sandy-bottom bay at Drvenik Veli, and the final water-level views of Trogir. The main weakness is the pace. You will spend substantial time on the speedboat, and no single stop lasts long enough for a slow beach day.

For a small group that wants variety, convenience, and a skipper rather than a crowded shared excursion, this is a sound choice. If your priority is a quiet full day in one bay, choose a slower and longer trip instead.
