27 June 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 €680), not per person — strong value for groups.
- •Popular routes: Half-Day Blue Lagoon, Hvar & Pakleni, and Blue Cave & 5 Islands.
- •Confirm with a 25% deposit after we check your date; 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.
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.
