The boat slips away from Marineta 15 on Makarska’s main promenade as the harbor narrows and the sea takes the lead. The skipper keeps a steady throttle while the Dalmatian coast slides open — limestone ridges to your right, blue that deepens by the minute to your left. In 25 minutes you’ll be cutting into Puntica Bay on Brač, a small rocky cove where a sea swing and a pebble shore wait for a 40-minute swim stop.

The boat slips away from Marineta 15 on Makarska’s main promenade as the harbor narrows and the sea takes the lead. The skipper keeps a steady throttle while the Dalmatian coast slides open — limestone ridges to your right, blue that deepens by the minute to your left. In 25 minutes you’ll be cutting into Puntica Bay on Brač, a small rocky cove where a sea swing and a pebble shore wait for a 40-minute swim stop.
This short route follows centuries of local seamanship. Brač’s geology is hard white limestone that shaped villages, quarries and the island’s highest peak, Vidova Gora. Makarska’s harbor has long been a conduit for fishermen and sailors; today it’s scaled for tourism but still reads as a working Adriatic port.
Practicalities matter: the trip is 90 minutes total, snorkeling gear is included, and check-in is 15 minutes before departure at Marineta 15. Infants under 4 are not permitted; younger children must sit on laps when allowed. Expect easy boarding, some chop on open-water sections, and a brisk breeze on the return as the sun lowers.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and footwear for slippery rocks; if you’re prone to motion sickness, take precautions before boarding. The skipper handles navigation and mooring, but respect local mooring rules and Posidonia meadows by avoiding anchoring on vegetation.
For a compact taste of the Makarska Riviera — a swim, a swing, and a sunset from the water — this tour is direct, scenic, and refreshingly simple.
