The motor hums, spray lifts like fine glass, and Split’s waterfront shrinks into a ribbon of stone and cafés. Within minutes the harbor gives way to open Adriatic — a stretch of blue that dares you to dive — and the speedboat threads toward Hvar’s limestone ribs and the low, pine‑crowned Pakleni chain.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The Adriatic sun is strong and reflection off the water intensifies UV exposure — use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect skin and marine life.
Wear water shoes
Rocky shores and pebbly beaches are common; water shoes make swimming entry and exits comfortable and safe.
Plan for seasickness
If you get motion sick, take preventative medicine before departure and sit mid‑boat where movement feels least pronounced.
Protect Posidonia meadows
Avoid anchoring on submerged seagrass beds — ask the skipper for mooring spots or use designated bouys to prevent habitat damage.
