The Adriatic opens like a cool, moving plaza when you push off from Trogir’s old harbor aboard a Marlin 790. Salt air tightens around the cockpit as the boat picks up speed and the promontories of Čiovo and the Šolta coastline slip astern. Waves shape the day; the sea dares you toward hidden coves and sunlit bays.

The Adriatic opens like a cool, moving plaza when you push off from Trogir’s old harbor aboard a Marlin 790. Salt air tightens around the cockpit as the boat picks up speed and the promontories of Čiovo and the Šolta coastline slip astern. Waves shape the day; the sea dares you toward hidden coves and sunlit bays.
This stretch of Dalmatia carries layers of history — Roman foundations under Venetian façades in Trogir, medieval forts, and fishing hamlets that have read the same tide charts for centuries. Geologically, the coastline is karst: limestone cliffs, shallow shelves and pebbled coves carved by the same water you’ll be cutting through. Culturally the rhythm is slow and maritime — small piers, family-run konobas, and a respect for the sea that’s evident in local boat-handling traditions.
Practically, the Marlin 790 is a 7.99 m speedboat with room for up to 12 and a 270 L tank. Fuel is not included; renters receive the boat full and should return it full or pay fuel at the end. A valid powerboat/sailing license is required; a professional skipper is available on request. Onboard gear includes GPS/fishfinder, VHF, snorkeling equipment on loan, and safety kit. Expect daytime trips of 6–12 hours when choosing the full-day option — plan your route early, watch forecasts, and respect Posidonia meadows when anchoring. Bring layered sun protection, a small dry bag, and drinking water. Whether you skirt Šolta’s sheltered coves or aim for the sunlit Blue Lagoon, the Marlin 790 puts island-hopping on your terms.

Trogir’s old town has Roman and Venetian layers; its harbor has been a maritime hub for centuries and remains a practical launching point for island travel.
The central Dalmatian coast contains important Posidonia seagrass meadows; avoid anchoring in vegetated beds and minimize fuel spills to protect marine habitats.
