The boat slips free from Split’s Riva and the city’s stone facades fall into a neat line behind you; wind fills the sails and the Adriatic opens like a salted blue map. On this four-hour small-group outing, the skipper reads the wind and charts a flexible course toward the islands of Šolta, Brač, or Čiovo—each stretch of coastline offering sheer rock faces, sheltered bays, and water clear enough to make snorkeling feel like flying.

Pack reef‑safe sunscreen
The Adriatic sun is strong on open water—apply high SPF and reapply after swimming to protect skin and sea life.
Bring non‑slip footwear
Boarding and moving on a wet deck are easier with shoes that have good grip and quick‑drying material.
Come prepared to swim
Snorkeling is a main highlight; wear your swimsuit and bring a towel and lightweight cover‑up for after the water.
Consider motion‑sickness prevention
If you’re susceptible, take medication or use acupressure bands before departure—open water can be choppy when the wind picks up.
Swimsuit and quick‑dry towel
Wear under clothing for easy boarding and to be ready for snorkeling stops.
