About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 425ronniew0 contributionsPerfect tour of quiet coves and beaches for family/young childrenWe had such an amazing 3 Island tour with Petar at Palladium. Perfectly timed and pitched for us as a family with 3 young children (11, 8 and 6) who all absolutely loved the swimming and snorkelling in the quiet and crystal clear coves.Written 28 August 2024
- Naffy20 contributionsHighlite of our holidayWe had a really great time. It was very well organised and the speedboat hops between spots quite exilerating. We visited breathtakingly beautiful and relaxing places for swimming. The water is really clear and the shoals of fish peaceful to watch. Definitely the highlight of our holiday. Thanks 😁Written 24 August 2024
- 991nenadl0 contributionsHalf day tour 3 islandsExcellent experience - half day tour 3 islands, robust and comfortable boat, beautiful beaches and microlocations of the islands of the middle Adriatic, excellent hosts. Warm recommendation. Value for money!Written 24 August 2024
- Mila G0 contributions10/10Amazing trip with amazing people! Would recommend to everyone to try it. Breathtaking views. Cudos to the organization! 10/10Written 16 August 2024
- 986brittm0 contributionsBeautiful snorkel and speedboat experienceBeautiful experience. The speedboat sailed fast over the waves which made us jump a little, that was much fun. We even got to snorkel and see some fish near the coast of the island Brac. The way back we saw a beautiful sunset. The sailor asks everyone if he can take a picture for you. I would definitely recommend.Written 14 August 2024
- oleconny0 contributionsPleasant experienceSo our family wanted to rent a boat and contacted Palladium through the hotel we stayed at, however all their boats were already rented for the next day (we were leaving the day after). No problem, they give a call to a buddy and we can rent his boat! Really nice people all over the company, from the first phone call to delivering the boat it was a pleasant experience. When meeting other boats from Palladium at sea, they helped us with docking. Again great people all over the line. Great using their map with excellent places to visit. Ate at Trica Gardelin, great food recommended. Was at Zečevo for snorkeling, swimming and drinks at the Lantina Beach Bar, beautiful place. 10/10 would recommend renting a boat from this company and seeing Croatia from the sea!Written 6 July 2024
- amirahelenz0 contributionsStunning adventureIt was beautiful. Very nice guide, beautiful location and sunset.

Amazing experience had by all. Everything about this trip was first class. Our skipper Tino, was friendly and knowledgeable. He made a reservation at a restaurant for us and the food was delicious. He took us to some hidden gems, which you would not find on any of the cheaper crowded excursions. It wasn’t the cheapest trip, as you need to factor in the fuel which cost 160 euros. This was on top of the 80 euros for the skipper, 150 euros for lunch and 450 euros for the boat hire, between 4 of us. However we feel it was well worth the money and would highly recommend to anybody

We've been to Stiniva and Vrbowska, 2 beautiful tucked-in little coves on islands Brach and Hvar. Our skipper Peter made sure we've had a great and safe time, accomodated our wishes and gave us an unforgetable experience we're gonna cherish for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend Palladium since the hosts are transparent about the price and service they provide, which I can't say for the rest of the options provided on the waterfront. Don't miss this little gem, it's worth every penny :)

Any first-time Hvar&Brac visitor is always contented with the advice provided by us, Mala Stiniva and Vrboska are truly the most beautiful bays on Hvar. Thank you for your review and I hope to see you again in October :)

A fantastic day from start to finish. We met our skipper for the day Ante - he was terrific- we saw dolphins right up close and Ante made several passes to make sure we got the best view. We had teenagers and Ante had them connect to the sound system so they could play their music. The boat was great too - 7 adults and we had plenty of room to relax. Stopped in beautiful bays with crystal clear water and for a delicious lunch at Trixi in Vrboska - gorgeous setting and delicious food and friendly staff. All in all a great experience and highly recommend

Whatever you do, make sure you reserve this boat with Petar...seriously, do it now. We rented Palladium rent a boat for a day and it was by far our most favorite day in Hvar. In fact, if the boat was not booked the next day, we would have rented it again. The communication from the beginning was great. With the help of Petar to suggest places to stop, we had an amazing day of cliff diving, snorkling, and swimming in caves (we opted to skip the blue cave). We stopped for lunch on Hvar island for an amazing lunch. We spend about 9 hours on the boat and had the most amazing time, and if we could have rented it for another day, we would have. Also, the boat itself is exactly what is representing the pictures, and is just simply pretty bad ass. I can't tell you how many times people were stopping to take pictures of the boat itself. The ride was incredible smooth and we were able to cover a lot of ground in one day. If your travels take you to Hvar, make sure renting the boat from Petar because he is a part of your trip. Thank you Petar and team for such an amazing day!

I'm so glad you loved our day trip around the hidden bays of Hvar island. The boat is functional, ergonomic and it displays impressive modularity, fulfilling the expectations of anyone who enjoys boating :)
I hope we'll host you again when you come back in Makarska

What a perfect day! Carlo was a wonderful knowledgeable skipper who made sure we had a memorable, enjoyable day.
The boat is so clean and comfortable with lots of space for our party of 5
Highlights included stopping off for lunch in Vrboska and getting a chance to see the dolphins!
Ankica and Peter were so helpful in making sure we had an incredible experience. We will definitely be back and all at Palladium have made our whole holiday special. Thank you so much!

We hired a boat with a skipper for a full day. Two adults and 11 and 5 year old. Carlo our skipper was very knowledgeable and friendly, also great with the kids! 🙌🏻
He clearly knew what he was doing and being a local knew the area well. We felt very safe and had the most amazing day exploring the hidden bays and harbours.
Petar was very helpful and honest when booking our trip, he recommended what was best to suit our needs with a younger child.
Smooth from start to finish!
We would 100% book with Palladium again. Thank you so much guys!

We booked a tour and went to Mlaska and Pokrivenik bays on island Hvar the day before with Skipper Petar. Communication was great and it was all very easy. The tour was incredible and Petar was very friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us impressive cliffs and very interesting hidden gems. Moreover, he recommended us a restaurant with Dalmatian and international cuisine where we enjoyed the offer of fresh fish. Thank you, Petar, for a lovely day, and for being so patient while we sunbathed on the beautiful beaches. It was a definite highlight of our holiday.

Yesterday we went on a sunset cruise with the Palladium II boat. We visited the island of Brac and Hvar (Jelsa and Vrboska). We saw beautiful landscapes and coves, and had a night swim. The boat is incredibly comfortable and robust. Skipper and owner Zeljko is a top professional, inspires trust with a large dose of charm. Definitely a warm recommendation. We will surely come next year.

We booked Flyer Spacedeck for a week. Treat yourself to a luxurious boat trip. The crew, Mateo and Karlo, were very attentive to every need and were great hosts. I would definitely do this again if I come back. If you find it a bit expensive then cut back on your hotel or rental and splurge on this full day trip. It will be worth it.
