The harbor smells of salt and diesel as the hull waits under the green lighthouse—your private boat, yours to direct. From Split’s Matejuška pier you’ll push off toward islands that dare you to choose: the party-strewn coves of Hvar, the sand horn of Zlatni Rat on Brač, the glassy pools of the Blue Lagoon, or the weather‑framed cliffs of Vis and the tiny Bisevo Blue Cave.

The harbor smells of salt and diesel as the hull waits under the green lighthouse—your private boat, yours to direct. From Split’s Matejuška pier you’ll push off toward islands that dare you to choose: the party-strewn coves of Hvar, the sand horn of Zlatni Rat on Brač, the glassy pools of the Blue Lagoon, or the weather‑framed cliffs of Vis and the tiny Bisevo Blue Cave.
This stretch of the central Dalmatian coast carries layers of history: Roman walls in Split, Austro-Hungarian nautical charts, and Cold War-era navy relics left on quieter shores. Geologically the islands are limestone and karst; the water is fed by open Adriatic currents that polish coves into transparent blues. Local culture centers on fishing, olive oil, and island tavernas where grilled fish and bruschetta anchor long summer afternoons.
Practically, private charters run 4–8 hours and include bottled water and snorkel gear; skipper fee (≈100€) is paid on site and fuel surcharges vary by distance. Plan stops rather than a checklist: snorkeling in hidden bays, a short walk in Hvar town, and a timed approach to photo-lit Blue Cave if weather allows.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a dry bag, and shoes for pebbly shores. Book early in high season and confirm the meeting point—under the green lighthouse at Matejuška or the flagged pier. Expect calm mornings, possible afternoon swells, and the freedom to write your own route across a coastline that rewards curiosity and good seamanship.
easy.
4–8 hours.
Minimal fitness required for boarding and short shoreline walks; be comfortable moving on a boat and climbing in/out over ladders.
No, skipper hire is not included; the captain fee is paid on site (around 100€) and fuel is charged separately based on usage.
Yes, but the Blue Cave and Vis visits are weather dependent and may require a larger boat; confirm conditions the day before departure.
Vessel size varies by booking—check the listed boat capacity when you reserve; the tour is private so you won’t share with other groups.
Meet at the top of the pier under the green lighthouse or at the Matejuška flag on the Riva; show your booking to the skipper there.
Split’s waterfront sits in a city founded as an imperial Roman palace site; nearby islands still show relics of naval infrastructure from the 20th century.
The region is sensitive to boating impacts—avoid anchoring on Posidonia beds, take all trash with you, and use refillable water bottles to limit plastic waste.
Ambis Charter operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
