Private Blue Lagoon and island Solta speedboat tour – FULL DAY

A private speedboat day around Split is interesting for one simple reason, you get to choose your pace and your time in the water. It’s the kind of plan that feels relaxed while still giving you real stops. I love that your captain shares the story in plain, human terms, and I love that you get proper time for swimming and snorkeling instead of constant rushing.

One thing to think about is that the sea decides part of the route. If weather and water conditions aren’t great, the day can shift, and your timing between stops may feel a little less exact than a land tour.

Key highlights

• Truly private for up to 11 people, so families and small groups keep the day calm and flexible
• Trogir UNESCO in one hour, with a guided focus you can actually use while you walk
• Blue Lagoon and Krknjasi Bay for swim time with provided snorkeling gear
• Two Šolta water-focused stops, including Necujam’s snorkeling spot
• Meals and drinks handled on the boat, with lunch optional at the seaside restaurant

What makes this private charter work: calm pace, real access to the water

This is a full-day speedboat tour built around one goal: get you out of Split’s crowds and into the good water fast. You’re not doing a checklist that forces you to sprint between landmarks. Instead, you’re bouncing between carefully chosen coastal spots with enough downtime to actually enjoy them.

The best part is how the boat time and the shore time feel balanced. You move quickly between areas, then you get a solid window to swim, snorkel, and sunbathe. That matters on the Adriatic, where the whole experience is about being on the water. It’s also a great setup if you’re traveling with kids, because you can keep everyone engaged without dragging them through long museum loops.

If you want history, you’re not stuck reading signs. Captains like Dino and Toni have been praised for giving clear historical facts as you go, and that changes how you experience Trogir and the older waterfront areas.

Split meet-up and your first minutes on the water

You start near the center of Split, with the meeting point listed as Trumbićeva obala 1, 21000 Split. The actual departure point is Matejuska pier, under the Croatian flag. That quick orientation is useful, because it helps you settle before you head out.

In practice, your first stop in Split is short, about 10 minutes. It’s enough for a proper start and to get you moving rather than lingering at the pier.

If you’re trying to plan your morning, give yourself a little buffer to find the pier and settle. Speedboat days feel best when you’re not already stressed before the engine starts.

Trogir UNESCO in one hour: Cathedral doors and Kamerlengo views

Next you head to Trogir, a UNESCO-listed historic town. This is where your captain’s commentary starts to pay off. In a short window, you want to walk the most important streets and hit the standout sights without getting turned around.

You’ll get around 1 hour in Trogir. That’s enough time to do the big, memorable stuff:

• Stroll the narrow lanes and stone-house edges where you’ll keep finding little corners to pause
• Walk the promenade to get those classic Adriatic-town views
• If you like architecture, look for the Cathedral of St. Lovre, including its Romanesque doors carved by Master Radovan in the 13th century

You can also spend time at Fortress Kamerlengo if you want a taller, more fortress-like viewpoint over the waterfront and boats.

The only drawback is time. One hour sounds like a lot until you’re standing in front of something you want to photograph twice. If Trogir is a top priority for you, show up ready to walk. If you’d rather linger for coffee, accept that you’ll have to pick a couple highlights, not all of them.

Blue Lagoon and Krknjaši Bay: where the water steals the show

After Trogir, the tour shifts into swim mode with the Blue Lagoon / Krknjasi Bay area. This is a crystal-blue bay located between three islands: large Krknjaši, small Krknjaši, and Drvenik Veli.

You’ll have about 1 hour here. That’s plenty of time to do a couple rounds:

• Swim from the shore and float in place
• Use the snorkeling equipment provided with the group
• Sunbathe on the pebbled shore if you want a slower pace

One practical tip: bring a simple plan for your time in the water. For example, snorkel first while you’re fresh, then switch to relaxing. You’ll get more joy out of the stop if you’re not trying to squeeze everything into the last 10 minutes.

Also, because this is a bay scene, it tends to feel like the day’s emotional peak. You’ll see why people come back to this region again and again.

Šolta island stop #1: Maslinica’s pebbled beach and café time

Next comes Maslinica on island Šolta. Maslinica sits amid an archipelago of seven small islands, and the setting is part of the appeal. This is a village you can actually enjoy at a leisurely pace because the village itself feels like an added bonus, not just a stop between water swims.

You’ll have about 1 hour in Maslinica. It’s timed nicely for a mix of:

• Coffee or a snack break
• Swimming at the popular pebble beach
• Quick wandering for photos and atmosphere

There’s also a story in the buildings. You’ll see how the Marchi baroque castle has been restored and is now used as a hotel, plus a newer nautical marina. That combination makes Maslinica feel more connected to modern cruising while still keeping the island-village vibe.

The beach here is pebble, not sand. That’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s one of those details that affects comfort. If you hate pebbles underfoot, plan on water shoes.

Necujam on Šolta: snorkeling over a shipping rack spot

After Maslinica, the next water-focused stop is Necujam. You’ll snorkel above a shipping-rack area on the north side of Šolta.

You’ll get about 45 minutes here. That time is shorter than the Blue Lagoon stop, but the snorkeling experience is the main event. If you want the best results, use the time efficiently: set up early, take a calm look first, then circle back for a second pass if the water is clear.

Because this part of the day is all about snorkeling, come prepared. If you’re prone to motion sickness, a smaller amount of time in water can still work better than long, slow swimming periods.

Stomorska finish at Restaurant Turanj: optional lunch, strong sea views

Your day ends around the village of Stomorska, with a lunch stop at Restoran Turanj, described as front row to the sea. Lunch is optional and on your cost.

You’ll have about 2 hours in this final stretch. That’s a generous window compared to some day tours, and it gives you flexibility:

• If you want a proper meal, do lunch here and enjoy the seaside setting
• If you don’t want lunch, you can still walk around, swim a bit more, and sunbathe a little longer

This is also a nice moment to reset mentally after the water stops. A day like this can feel like a series of highs, and a calm meal spot helps you come down without rushing back.

In the feedback, food is a big deal here, with people calling out excellent seafood. Even if you don’t order the biggest thing on the menu, the setting alone is a satisfying wrap-up.

Drinks and onboard comforts: wine, fruit, and a SUP board

The included items make a difference, especially when you’re spending the day in the sun. You get bottled water, soda/pop, fruit, and alcoholic beverages, including a bottle of wine. You also get snorkeling equipment and use of a SUP board.

This is a practical setup. Water and snacks matter when you’re out for hours. The wine is a nice touch if you’re traveling with adults who enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. If you’re planning to do any SUP or snorkeling, just pace the alcohol accordingly so you’re still safe and steady.

The SUP board is also a fun add-on if conditions allow. It’s another way to extend the “time on the water” feeling without needing to be a strong swimmer.

One more practical note: dress for shade and sun. Even with breaks, a speedboat day can roast you. Bring sunscreen you trust and something light you can throw on quickly.

Price and value for up to 11 people

The price is listed at $878.89 per group, up to 11 people. That sounds steep at first if you’re thinking per person, but the private-boat math changes it fast.

Here’s the simple way to think about value:

• If you book as a full group, the cost spreads out.
• You’re paying for a private route, a captain’s guidance, and the included snorkeling setup, drinks, and SUP use.

You also save time compared to piecing together multiple public options and paying separate boat transfers. And because this is truly private, you don’t have the “shared group squeeze” where everyone gets moved along the same tight schedule.

In short, this is good value when you can fill the boat with friends or family, or when you want the comfort and flexibility of a private day more than you want the absolute lowest price.

Weather realities: why your captain may adjust the day

This tour depends on good weather, and that affects your experience. Even with a planned sequence, sea conditions can influence where you stop and how long you stay. You’ll see this reflected in the experience, with routes described as depending heavily on the weather.

The good news is that this is exactly why you want a captain who can make quick calls. Captains like Dino, Toni, Luca, Marsel, and Borna have been praised for making the day feel smooth and tailored, including time management that works for families and different comfort levels.

Your best planning move is to treat this like a flexible sea day, not a strict schedule. Pack like you might get a little wind, and don’t plan a tight dinner reservation immediately after. Give yourself time to enjoy Stomorska’s finish and then get back to Split at an easy pace.

Who should book this tour, and who might want something else

This is a strong fit if:

• You want a private speedboat day with a relaxed feel
• Your group likes swimming and snorkeling more than museum stops
• You’re traveling with kids or a baby and want flexibility
• You care about Trogir’s sights but don’t want to spend hours figuring it out on your own

It might be less ideal if:

• You prefer very long shore time with no boat transitions
• You’re not interested in water activities at all
• Your schedule is extremely rigid and you can’t handle weather-based changes

Should you book? My practical take

Book it if you want a day that feels like Croatia from the water, with a real historic walk in Trogir and multiple chances to enjoy the sea. The combination of private charter, provided snorkeling gear, and included drinks makes it easy to have fun without constantly spending extra.

Skip or compare if you mostly want land sightseeing, because the day is designed around sea time. Also, make peace with the fact that weather can shift timing and routes. If you can roll with that, this tour is one of the more satisfying ways to spend a day in the Split region.
