About This Tour

Croatia's Most Unique Private Boat Tour

Imagine anchoring above an open-air gallery — not on a museum floor, but beneath the surface of the Adriatic Sea. This full-day private VIP tour takes you to one of Croatia's most extraordinary and lesser-known treasures: the Underwater Museum at Jelinak Bay, just off the coast of Trogir, combined with the iconic Blue Lagoon, secluded hidden bays, and a long unhurried lunch on the island of Šolta.

With a maximum of 8 guests and a boat exclusively yours, this is the Adriatic at its most intimate — no crowds, no fixed schedule, no compromises.

The Underwater Museum at Jelinak Bay

Hidden beneath the turquoise surface of Jelinak Bay, just minutes from the UNESCO-listed city of Trogir, lies one of Croatia's most captivating art destinations — the Underwater Museum (Muzej podmorja). A collection of submerged sculptures and art installations rest on the seabed, illuminated by shifting shafts of filtered sunlight that transform throughout the day, turning the seafloor into a living, breathing gallery unlike anything else in Croatia.

Unlike any traditional museum, this one has no queues, and no crowds — just a mask, a snorkel, and a genuine sense of wonder. Your captain will anchor in the calm, protected waters of the bay, where you can explore at your own pace, dive down for a closer look, or simply float above the sculptures and observe from the surface.

No diving experience or scuba equipment is required. The installations sit in shallow, crystal-clear water that is fully accessible to complete beginners and children alike.

The Blue Lagoon — A Turquoise Paradise

From Jelinak Bay, we cruise toward the famous Blue Lagoon — a shallow, impossibly clear stretch of sea nestled between the islands of Drvenik Veli and Krknjaši. Often compared to the Caribbean, this natural wonder is the perfect mid-day stop for snorkeling, swimming, and simply floating in warm Adriatic water while the world slows down around you.

Hidden Bays — Untouched and Unreachable by Crowds

One of the true privileges of a private boat is access to places the ferries and tour groups never reach. Your captain knows this coastline intimately and will take you to a secluded hidden bay — framed by pine-covered cliffs, with crystal-clear water and the kind of silence that only comes when you are far from the tourist trail.

Lunch on Šolta — Local Wine, Fresh Catch, No Rush

No proper Adriatic VIP day ends without a long, unhurried Dalmatian lunch. We dock at a family-run seaside konoba on the island of Šolta, where you can settle in for grilled fish straight from the water, house wine, and the kind of slow, convivial meal that reminds you why Mediterranean food has no equal. Restaurant reservations are arranged on your behalf.

Everything is Prepared Before You Step On Board

From the moment you arrive at the dock, everything is in place — chilled drinks, fresh fruit, snorkeling gear, towels, and a captain who treats your day as if it were their own. All you need to do is show up.

"Booked it for my parents' 40th anniversary. Snorkeling above the sculptures at Jelinak is unlike anything we have done. Lunch on Šolta was unhurried and excellent."

"Vraiment privé, vraiment VIP. Nager au-dessus des sculptures avec un simple masque est étonnant. Le déjeuner sur Šolta a parfaitement complété la journée."

"I am a confident swimmer but not a diver. Seeing the underwater museum was simpler than expected — just a mask. Šolta lunch was the second highlight."

"Six of us, including our two boys (8 and 11). The sculptures had them completely hooked — they thought it was a treasure hunt. The hidden bay after lunch had no one else in it."

"A different kind of boat day. The Underwater Museum is the obvious draw, but the unhurried lunch on Šolta is what we remember most. Premium feel throughout."

"Splurged on the VIP option for our last day. Small group, sculptures, konoba lunch on Šolta — all of it came together. A special day."
