- Kimberlilewis0 contributionsBest Skipper and Best TourOMG Dusko was the best. The tour was super but the skipper was really the best. After a mess up from my side he got all in order and we had a fantastic day--I would give it 10 stars if I could.Written 12 October 2024
- johnmB8397SS0 contributionsGreat time with skipper DuškoSkipper Duško was great! We had a relaxing day and Duško recommended some great spots and a nice restaurant. Having a private tour where you can choose the itinerary is always great. Highly recommend.Written 23 September 2024
- sneaky_spice0 contributionsDusko is the manPerfect day, thanks Dusko for being a great skipper and tour guide. Dusko contributed some highlights we wouldn’t have known about. Chill, happy, comfortable vibes. Great communication. Thank you!Written 7 September 2024
- lunao4350 contributionsReally great boat tour from split !We booked the private boat tour for 7 persons. We started the tour in Split where our skipper Luka collected us. We were able to discuss with him what was the best itinerary. We went to Hvar, then to the Pakleni islands were we did some snorkelling. After that we headed to Milna for lunch and ended the day swimming and doing some snorkelling in Solta. We had a really good time, our skipper Luka was really nice and helped us with the itinerary so we could visit some cities and enjoy the sea. We recommend Antonio, Luka and Samboat !Written 3 September 2024
- Louise R0 contributionsFantastic day charter with DuskoWe had an amazing day with Dusko as skipper sailing round the bays near Split. Dusko went out of his way to make sure we had a great day and we really do. My daughter aged 7 even said it was the best day ever. Thanks so much Dusko - we had an amazing day! Would highly recommend.Written 1 September 2024
- anja_moriarty0 contributionsSimply marvellous and excellent valueDuško is simply marvellous. Great boat, excellent (secluded) spots and smooth navigation, great tips, delightful atmosphere, and fantastic lunch reservation. Everything was so easy. We felt carefree in paradise with Duško curating our experience for us for the day based on our ideas and wants. Shoutout to Jelena for being so responsive on WhatsApp.Written 26 August 2024
- druryslane0 contributionsBetter value than a group tourWe booked this tour on Tripadvisor and are really happy that we did. Skipper Dusko messaged us the evening before and we arranged to meet in Trogir (closer to where we were staying and cheaper parking!). He was waiting for us at 9am on the dot. What a cool guy! Really friendly, good to talk to and we felt in safe hands. He came prepared and had beers and cold drinks in the cooler, which we really appreciated. We didn’t really know what we were doing so were happy for Dusko to make an itinerary for us. Our only preference was to go places that would be less busy. It was an amazing day out and we would do it again in a heartbeat. The photos are amazing and much better than any of our other days. Just a side note - we weren’t that hungry and almost skipped lunch. What an error that would have been. The restaurant we went to was gorgeous. In case it helps anyone, we paid €100 for the skipper and €200 for gas. We also gave a modest tip. We are happy to 100% recommend this trip and skipper Dusko. Thank you.Written 21 August 2024
- Adventure491726829500 contributionsAmazing and UniqueWe had a fantastic trip with Dusko! He is a great tour guide and will take you to lovely picturesque swimming locations and small towns that are unique. Keep in mind that you will use lots of fuel and they cannot be expected to include that in the tour. If you want to see many interesting places you will need to cruise several miles but it is worth every penny. You cannot get anything similar with a larger tour boat. Thanks for an amazing day Dusko!Written 18 August 2024
- melanies778550 contributionsAn Amazing day outDuje was on time at the discussed meeting point. He was very kind and polite. He suggested places we should/could go to and reasons why other places weren’t optimal. He also took us to a few more remote/quieter places which was fab. It was a very special and relaxed day, not rushing from one place to the next. He then took us to a restaurant in Milna which was an absolute gem. Nikola was incredible and the food was absolutely delicious. Duje was very friendly and definitely knows how to handle the boat through choppy water. I would definitely recommend Adriatica Charters and Duje. We had a very memorable and fantastic day. Thank you Duje.Written 12 August 2024
- 87dotb0 contributionsAvoid! This company is sneaky.Be VERY careful when booking this. While they tell you there will be a fuel 'surcharge' you will likely end up with £180 extra fuel bill on top of the €100 for skipper. We were told we could make our own itinerary and offered 7 options then told 'it will take too long and cost too much to go there' so we opted for 3 stops only, which were nice but the whole experience left us feeling ripped off. €600 for the day. I would rather this company was honest and transparent as our family would have made different choices and not finished our day out feeling cheated. I would AVOID AVOID AVOID as they are dishonest. They will say it's all in the booking info but for us, fuel of nearly €200 was excessive for how far we travelled. I suspect we paid to top up their tank.Written 11 August 2024
- Curiosity634791097030 contributionsDusko was a great Skipper!We had the most amazing day on the water-We booked Antonio’s boat and he was quick to answer my many questions before booking. The skipper messaged me the day before to introduce himself. His name was Dusko and he was awesome. I ask if he could bring us waters, fruit and snacks and he did. He picked us up at our hotel (Le Meridien) and that made it easy. He knew all the perfect spots to swim and booked us a beautiful table and a seaside cafe for lunch. We went to more swimming spots after and then stopped in a cute town for gelato before heading back. We will for sure be back and will book with Antonio and Dusko again.Written 4 August 2024
- Martin_V_12340 contributionsBest boat charter company and best skipper!!! (Dusko)We chartered a full day with skipper Dusko. The boat was perfect, clean and well prepared for the trip. Skipper Dusko awaited us at the marina. We had a great trip and the whole day passed much to fast. Dusko was all the time very friendly, extremely helpful and took care for us and our dog. We can highly recommend the company the boat and the skipper!! It‘s worth coming back anf charter again!! Dear Antonio & Dusko: thank you for this great experience and the extraordinary day we had! We hope to come back soon and to charter at least for one week…! Thanks guys!! You really did a great job!! 👏Written 22 July 2024
- Fearless453859622160 contributionsA beautiful day between swimming and visitIt was beautiful day, Hvar is a beautiful city, and red Rock a good place to swim. We also gone in another one beautiful beach. A jellyfish touched my son but our skipper take care of him, he s very nice. I highly recommendWritten 11 July 2024
- Tour7030840 contributionsAmazing Day.We had an amazing day. The views were spectacular and our guide Dusko was very informative. We stopped for a wonderful lunch as well.Written 10 July 2024
- Maps518979893490 contributionsBrilliant Experience, Skipper and WaterWe all had a wonderful time together with our Skipper Dusko. The day started badly with our car being stuck in traffic after a car accident on the road to Split. But Dusko took the boat 30mins away from the planned pickup point to get us. Brilliant service! We then went to the Blue Lagoon which deserves its name- crystal clear blue water a beautiful bay to swim and snorkel at. Lunch at a fantastic restaurant on Sorta that we were able to drive our boat right up to and our skipper had booked for us and then Snorkeling at the ship wreck. My teenage kids said it was their favourite day on the holiday. Having your own charter boat is a little more expensive, but totally worth it for have your own space and a skipper looking out for you. And thank goodness we did charter, if we had been on a bigger boat we would have missed it due to the traffic accident. All in all a brilliant experience. Thanks to our skipper Dusko who was so friendly, helpful and caring.Written 8 July 2024

Our skipper, Dusko, was great from start to finish. He helped plan a custom itinerary with us so that we can see all the attractions that Split has to offer, including the Blue Cave, Blue Lagoon, and Hvar. Dusko was extremely friendly, and made us feel comfortable on the boat right away. He provided a smooth boat ride with great music, conversation, and was sure to point out any landmarks we passed. Dusko helped us have a wonderful experience on the water and we would highly recommend him for your future bookings!!

We booked a boat from Split for the day to celebrate my daughter’s 21st Birthday - from the moment we arrived to meet our skipper Dusko, we knew we were going to have the best day. Dusko went out of his way to ensure we celebrated in style, suggesting places to swim off the boat and booking the perfect restaurant on the waters edge - he couldn’t do enough for us. We started the day with a skipper and ended it with a new friend!! Thanks Dusko - see you in London! 😊

Had such an amazing time. Would strongly recommend booking a PRIVATE tour so you can tailor the day to what you want to do and also go along with the skipper’s recommendations. You can avoid tourist traps and long wait times by doing so. Our skipper Luca, listened to what we wanted to do and was very willing and friendly. He also gave us a bit more time bc we ran into a small amount of rain which delayed us a bit. Overall, very positive experience. My family loved it!

Booked the larger private boat as had no availability for the usual boats for a party of 6. Expensive at €900 but sounded amazing with stop for breakfast and lunch and snorkelling, swimming and beach visits.
Boat arrived as promised in time and with captain and 1 crew member. Loud music which we had to ask to be turned down a few times. No real conversation, not overly friendly and not made to feel that welcome or special.
Stop for breakfast was ok and first swim stop great. Lunch stop quite expensive, breakfast and lunch at additional cost, lunch location is nice but captain got us to book in advance which I think is so they get their lunch free! Plenty of other nice places available but kind of forced to use their place which is expensive and quite fancy large meals. Nice food and friendly staff though.
Next stop also very nice with pebble beach but quite a swim in to get to it from boat. Stopped at ship wreck but stopped way to far away, one of our party not a great swimmer but due to distance had to stay on board even although captain was aware and he could have gone closer!
Trip to ‘beach’ location was really rough and uncomfortable not because of sea but because he was going way too fast for conditions so no one enjoyed this part of journey! Beach location where he stopped was really just a cove no sand no beach as such and again stopped so far out some of party couldn’t enjoy it and we asked to just leave after a very short time!
Journey back to Trogir much nicer cause he didn’t go so fast!
Never asked once if we even wanted a group picture even although we were taking pictures all the time! Just wasn’t interested in us having a good time and just went through the motions! Spent most of time just taking to themselves!
Also stopped in bay before getting back to dock to ensure I paid balance which I found very insulting as if I didn’t pay would be allowed off! This really annoyed me!
Great scenery and glad we saw Croatia from a different perspective but what could have been an amazing day was spoiled by staff that just couldn’t have cared less if we were there or not or if we enjoyed the trip or didn’t!

Would highly recommend this trip! We had a lovely day at sea. Dusko were such a good guide and skipper. He communicated well beforehand, made our experience very memorable and made sure we got to see a lot in just one day. He also made lunch reservations for us, and made us feel very safe and comfortable. Trust his experience and places to see. Thank you so much!

We (2 adults, 2 children) rented a boat with a skipper from Split/Stobrec for a day. We didn't have a specific plan of where to go, just a few ideas and the skipper (thanks Duško!) used these and his recommendations to organize a great tour with several stops, lunch and sightseeing. Thank you very much for a great day - we would go again anytime!

Josko and Duje were great leads on our private tour. They helped our two families with kids ranging from 7-12 ensure we were comfortable. They were attentive to our needs and accommodating when we wanted to pivot on our private tour. Would recommend to people planning to visit.

Our family of six adults and one nine year old had a great day on our tour. Our captain, Luka, made the day perfect. He listened to what we hoped to do and created a good tour. We swam off the boat, walked around two islands, had a lovely lunch, snorkeled at the wreck, and saw gorgeous views of Croatia. Luka was kind, professional, and took care of all of us. This was a great value and a delightful day.

My friends and I had a blast with Skipper Joško and his able first mate Ivan. Beginning and ending our trip in Split, we were taken on a thoughtful voyage with plenty of time to explore different parts of the stunning Croatian coastline and stopped along the way to swim and take in the scenery. I would thoroughly recommend Adriatica. Thanks again, Alex, Jack, and company.

It was an amazing day trip, we did it as a family trip for 5 people. The boat is in perfect conditions, with snorkel equipment for the swim stops, beautiful clear blue water and Dusko made great recommendations and a very friendly trip. We recommend booking your tour with them and ask for Dusko, he is amazing! Thank you for an unforgettable experience in Croatia
