The catamaran eases away from Split’s riva as morning light chisels the harbor—deck chairs align, coffee steams, and the Adriatic opens like a road of glass. Over eight hours you'll slice across vivid blue toward Brač’s sheltered bays, step ashore in Hvar for a guided stroll through stone streets, then loop the low, pine-scented Pakleni Islands for two more swim stops before a final dip at Šolta.

Hvar wears centuries of maritime history: Venetian walls, a 16th‑century fortress above the town, and narrow alleys where trade routes once converged. Geologically the islands are karst limestone—sharp cliffs, pebbled beaches and clear water shaped by wind and waves. Locals maintain a laid-back island rhythm; cafés on the Hvar riva trade conversation for espresso and views.
Practical notes: boarding is at dock 4 or 5 in Split; departure is 8:30 a.m. sharp. Expect three organized swim breaks, a two‑hour guided tour of Hvar (plus free time), on-board food (local pastry, chicken salad, cakes, fruit) and an all-inclusive drinks selection. The catamaran accommodates up to ~76 guests, with life vests and crew briefings provided.
For best experience, arrive early to avoid traffic, carry reef-safe sunscreen, and pack a lightweight dry bag for electronics. Swim from the ladder, give local mooring and marine life space, and time your Hvar walk to miss the midday crowds. The day balances easy cruising with short swims and a concentrated taste of Dalmatian island life.
