Itinerary:
10 am
Boarding.
The captain meets you at the agreed meeting point. Usually, that's in the center, close to club ''Seven'': https://shorturl.at/yLX14 (Seven's location on G maps)
Once you hop on, we leisurely make our way out of Hvar port, while chatting and getting to know each other.
You tell us what you’d like to see and where you’d like to go.
Feel free to ask the captain about his/her recommendations and personal favorites!
10:25
Borče Bay (pronounced Bor-Che)
Swimming, snorkeling, and lounging on the boat are the best things to do in this beautiful bay! Usually there are a few majestic yachts parked there, which ads to the bay's splendor.
We anchor near the shore so you can also swim to the beach and walk on it.
Afterward, we’ll head to Malo Zarache bay, only a short, leisurely 10-min ride away.
11:30 am
Malo Zara-Che Bay
(''Little Zara-Che'')
A charming little bay, with the village Zarache high above it, hidden in the hills.
Close by is a secluded area under steep rocks, very interesting to pass by and take a few photos of.
12:15 am
Red Rocks & Vineyards
Simply fascinating & perfect for cliff jumping! (although we advise extreme caution if you decide to do it)
Snorkeling is great in the little cavern-like crevices. The red-colored iron in the soil is what gives this place it's name.
Nearby is Lučišća bay (pronounced ‘’Lu-Chi-Sch-Cha’’. Another mouthful, we know!). The bay is beautiful and the cliffs above it are tall, ancient and impressive.
Further along the coast you can see vineyards, on nearly-vertical slopes.
Wish to visit the nearby Sv Nedija’s Bilo Idro winery? There you can taste award-winning, locally produced wines!
Just let us know at least 24 hrs in advance & we’ll make a reservation for you.
1:45 pm
Lunch
For lunch we head back in the direction of Hvar town, stopping in Milna town along the way.
We’ll moor the boat on a nearby buoy, where the restaurant’s boat will pick us up. One specialty here is fresh Adriatic fish baked in salt crust with grilled veggies – and it’s divine!
Another lunch option is another charming family owned place on St. Klement, the largest of Pakleni islands.
And yet even another option is a family restaurant in a bay called Dubovica. This one is so old and local, it's not even listed on Google! The food here is like in no other restaurant in Hvar.
All three are authentic, with delicious local food & wine.
3:15 pm
Pakleni Islands
We have time for another 2-3 spots, and we’ll make them count.
Stipanska, for example. It’s where Carpe Diem nightclub is, except there’s no clubbing during the day – and the bay is gorgeous.
Mlini Beach (pictured, pronounced Mleeh-Neeh) boasts some the most captivating nuances of blue, green, & turquoise you’ll see in Croatia.
Our afternoon repertoire consists of swimming, lounging, listening to music, more wine & pleasant conversation!
6:00 pm
Return to Hvar Harbor
Sadly it’s time to say goodbye and part ways. Unless you wish to extend for another hour or two for an extra fee - in which case, just tell the captain!
The boat can also drop you off in a different part of town if it's more convenient for you (for example: the bay in front of hotel Amfora).
