How rental works here
Boat rental, explained properly.
Some guests know exactly what they want. Others just know they want a day on the water and do not want to waste time comparing random listings.
This page is here to make that simpler.
David's fleet covers short local bareboat rentals, stronger bareboats for bigger days out, and larger boats that make more sense with a skipper. If you are not sure what fits your group, route, or licence, ask first and narrow it down properly.

Motorboat Rental Hvar
Stronger boats with more range for fuller days around Hvar, Pakleni, and beyond. Better fit for guests with the right licence, larger groups, or a longer self-drive plan.

Not every route makes sense bareboat. For Vis, Blue Cave, or a full private day without managing the boat yourself, the skippered route is usually the better call.

Rent bareboat or book a skipper?
A bareboat is not right for everyone. Pick the option that matches how you want the day to feel — or ask David and he will help you choose.
Bareboat
More independence. Best when you have the right licence, are comfortable on the water, and your route is realistic for the boat.
Skippered
Better for longer routes, relaxed days, and guests who want local judgment built into the day.
