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!

Josip and his family couldn’t be more fantastic hosts, so friendly, even picked us up from the airport and cooked us a delicious breakfast each morning! The spacious 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment overlooks beautiful ocean views from every balcony. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and relaxing in the jacuzzi most days, our daughter loved her own personal playground too! We enjoyed a speedboat island tour (and swimming in crystal clear waters) on Josip’s recommendation, with the boat able to moor and pick us up directly outside Josip’s house. The beach is literally a meter away! Some great beach front restaurants just a 5 minute walk away, where we enjoyed the Croatian sunset and some delicious local food. We definitely hope to be back soon :)

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

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.
