The engine cuts to a steady hum and spray arcs off the bow as the Barracuda 545 threads between sunlit islets. You feel the sea push beneath you, cliffs shrinking into the distance while pine‑clad shores and limestone ribs of the Elafiti Islands loom closer. In two hours this short, private run stitches together bright caves, small bays and a quick plunge into water clear enough to read the shadow of your outstretched hand.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect your skin and the Adriatic’s seagrass by choosing reef‑safe SPF and reapplying after swimming.
