Morning light slides across Split’s waterfront as a small flag on Matejuška pier marks the starting point. Guests step aboard a Mercan 34 Deluxe or Protagon Yachts 25 and the captain asks what you want to see — a day shaped by choice: sheltered bays for snorkeling, quiet fishing villages for lunch, or the crowds of Hvar and the Pakleni isles.

History
The islands reflect Dalmatia’s maritime past: Venetian trade and centuries of small-scale fishing shaped coastal towns and stone harbors.
Conservation
Avoid anchoring on seagrass beds (Posidonia) and use mooring buoys where available; local operators commonly follow low-impact practices to protect marine habitats.

Book morning departures for calm seas
Winds often pick up midday; starting early gives calmer water for snorkeling and quieter anchorages.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
The Adriatic is sensitive — choose biodegradable sunscreen to protect marine life during swims.
Bring cash for konobas
Small island restaurants and wine tastings sometimes prefer cash over cards; carry a modest amount in kuna or euros.
Communicate mobility needs ahead
Boat step ups and uneven dockings can be tricky; inform the operator if anyone has limited mobility.
