Boat vacation rentals in Split

Charming and helpful host.

Goran was so WONDERFUL! He is such a nice guy and truly wants to help you out with your trip in any way that he can. He was very prompt in his communication prior to our trip and met us right at the port in Split for our sailing trip around many of the islands surrounding Split. There is really not a nicer guy we came across in our travels and he really an authentic Croatian sailor (think local who loves his boat & loves to sail as opposed to some of those super commercial charter companies/ skippers). We learned a lot about the local communities and history through talking with him and I encourage you to have some dinners with Goran and ask lots of questions! The boat itself is true to the post. It is a beautiful classic sailboat so it has all the necessary things you need but not those fancy super automatic boats ;). SO make sure that you have this expectation- for example, no showers on the boat, so plan to shower at the ports or in the water :). There were 3 of us and then Goran, I think that is the most that can comfortably sleep (we stayed in both cabins & Goran stayed out in the common area. Another major thing! This trip can be simply amazing & some of the most incredible views and places you can dream of. But if you have a strict plan for your trip be prepared to possibly have this shifted. We got stuck in a Bora (windstorm & had to stay in the same port two nights in a row with lots of rocking) and also one day were turned away from the port in Hvar due to it being full. Both definitely not Goran or the boats fault but just sharing some advice because we were able to be flexible but were also open to being flexible! Enjoy your trip & thank you again Goran for a memorable sailing adventure!

We had the best day on Toni’s boat. Toni took us around the beautiful islands of Split including lunch at an amazing restaurant. Toni was a fantastic host and his boat was perfect size for us - 7 people including 3 kids. Thank you Toni!

Put simply, AMAZING, a big part of that thanks to Josip and his family. The location is perfect with hot tub, stunning pool and ocean (at most 4m from the gate) to swim and snorkel in or take the paddle board for a spin! A promenade passes the gate in both directions and goes for a few miles, all flat, and must visit Trojir is walkable, 15-20 mins. A boat taxi to Split also picks up a few yards away on a jeti which is perfect. With or without a car there is so much to see and do, Josip offered to pick us up from the airport which takes all hassle and worry away and will organise literally anything for you from a hire car to the door or a parasailing trip from his back gate! Breakfast was a real bonus with a varied selection every day, nothing too much trouble. The apartment was beautiful, with everything you need and a morning coffee on the balcony with breathtaking views just another bonus. Thank you Josip to you and your wonderful family, can't wait to come back. X

It was incredible, the yacht is very cool, these are new experiences. Very cool. Also, the captain and his assistant are very cool dudes.

Marko was super helpful in making an itinerary and always responded promptly. Our skipper made our trip. There were 4 couples on board and the boat was comfortable for 3 days of sailing/docking. So much fun, best way to see Croatia.

Amazing!! Everything went so smooth and Lex of the Seas is so cosy. We took it put with a captain for Bol and it was so nice. The captain and the skipper so helpful and relaxed. If I am ever in Split again I will book it, even with the gangway 😅 Thank you so much for all your help.

We are a family of 4 We sailed in late September/early October. The boat was clean and comfortable, and skipper Dubravko was a very polite and attentive host. He suggested a few excursions for us to do but we chose a typical sailing holiday. Unfortunately the weather intervened a touch which hampered our plans somewhat, but we still very much enjoyed our trip ! The highlight was catching a bluefish (cousin of tuna) which Dubravko cooked into a traditional Croatian fish stew for lunch ... wonderful! We would highly recommend Dubravko as a courteous and experienced host, who gave us space when we needed it too !
