The morning opens with the motor’s breath and a wake that sketches silver across the Adriatic as the speedboat cuts out of Split toward Brač. First light lands on Milna’s stone promenade where the crew pauses for coffee; gulls circle and fishermen tie off wooden skiffs, setting the tone for a day of islands and sea-slick coves.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The Adriatic’s seagrass meadows are sensitive—use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect marine life and avoid direct application before snorkelling.
Wear water shoes
Beaches on Pakleni include pebbles and rocky approaches—water shoes make entries and exits comfortable and safe.
Carry a refillable bottle
Long daylight hours and coastal sun mean hydration is vital; freshwater is limited on smaller islands so bring a refillable bottle.
Stash motion remedies
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before departure—speedboat crossings can be choppy when wind picks up.
