Private Speedboat Charter in Dalmatia: What to Expect (and Is It Worth It?)
27 June 2026 · Updated 28 August 2026 · 6 min read
A private charter gives you the whole speedboat, your own skipper and your own route. Here is what is included, how the per-boat pricing works, and whether it is worth it.
Key takeaways
- •A private charter is the whole speedboat plus a local skipper, for up to 12 guests.
- •You choose the route and the pace, no fixed group and no crowds.
- •Prices are per boat (from €500), not per person, strong value for groups.
- •Popular routes: Sun, Swim & Mojitos, Half-Day Blue Lagoon, Hvar & Pakleni, and Blue Cave & 5 Islands.
- •Confirm with a deposit after we check your date, 25% on most charters and a flat €100 on Sun, Swim & Mojitos; the balance is paid on the day.
Short answer: a private charter is worth it the moment you are a group of four or more, travelling with family, or marking a special day. You get the whole boat, a local skipper and a route shaped around you, and because the price is per boat, it often works out similar per person to a group tour. Here is the full picture.
What is included
Every private charter comes with a fast, comfortable speedboat and a licensed local skipper, fuel, harbour fees, snorkelling gear, towels and drinking water. There is no fixed group, the boat is yours alone, and you decide where to swim and how long to linger.
Per-boat vs per-person: the real value
Group tours are priced per person, private charters per boat. A half-day charter from €680 splits across up to 12 guests, so for a group of six that is a little over €110 each, for the whole boat, your own route and no strangers aboard. The more of you there are, the better the value.
The best private routes
- Half-Day Escape, Blue Lagoon, Maslinica and Labadusa at your own pace, morning or afternoon.
- Hvar & Pakleni Islands, glamorous Hvar town and the turquoise Pakleni archipelago.
- Blue Cave & 5 Islands, the full open-sea adventure, on your schedule.
- Drvenik & Šolta, a relaxed full day across the islands closest to Trogir.
- Sun, Swim & Mojitos, the small-group option: Blue Lagoon, Maslinica and a quiet Šolta bay for up to 8 guests, from €500.
Who it is best for
- Families who want flexibility around nap times and swim stops.
- Groups of friends who would rather not share a boat.
- Couples marking a birthday, anniversary or proposal.
- Anyone who wants to set the route, more time here, skip that.
How booking a charter works
Send a request with your date and group size, no payment up front. We check availability and email you a secure link to pay a 25% deposit that confirms the booking; the balance is paid on the day. Browse all five charters on our private boat tours page, or contact us to design a custom day.
One thing a charter does that no scheduled tour can: it stays out for the evening. The afternoon slot runs to 20:00, which in July and early August lands you on the water for the last of the light. What that looks like, and what we do not sell, is a short read.
