What private means here

Your boat, your group, not shared.

A private tour means the boat is booked for your group only. No other guests, no shared schedule, no waiting for strangers at swim stops.

David or one of his skippers runs the day. The route is discussed with you before you leave, and the pace adjusts to how your group actually moves through the day.

This is different from the Blue Cave group excursion, which runs on a shared boat with other guests. If you want your own setup and more control over how the day goes, private is the right option.

The boats

The two boats used for private tours.

Nuova Jolly boat for private tours from Hvar

Nuova Jolly

David's main boat for private tours. Suitable for groups up to 12 guests. Used for the full range of private day routes from short Pakleni days to longer Blue Cave and south-shore plans.

BSC boat for private tours from Hvar

BSC

A 7m centre-console RIB used for private tours and transfers. Suitable for groups up to 10 guests. Handles longer routes and open water comfortably.

Which boat fits your group depends on size and route. Ask David and he will confirm the right setup for your day.

Tour options

Two main private tour routes, and custom days on request.

David runs two main private tour routes, each with its own dedicated page:

Private Blue Cave Tour from Hvar

A full private day built around the Blue Cave on Biševo, usually with stops around Vis and swim spots on the way back. Your boat, your group, your skipper.

Private Blue Cave Tour from Hvar

Hvar South + Pakleni Islands Private

A private full day covering the south side of Hvar and the Pakleni Islands. Quieter coves, swim stops, and a pace that fits your group rather than a fixed itinerary.

Hvar South + Pakleni Islands Private

Custom days

If you have a different plan in mind, David can organise a custom private day around your route. Sunset outings, specific anchorages, villa pickups, Vis days, or any other plan that does not fit neatly into the two standard routes — message David on WhatsApp with what you have in mind and he will tell you what is realistic.

Who this is for

Who books private tours with David.

  • Couples who want a full day on the water without sharing the boat with strangers
  • Families with children who want a more relaxed, controllable pace
  • Groups of friends who want their own boat for the day
  • Guests who have a specific route or destination in mind
  • Guests who have done a group excursion before and want something more flexible this time.

Private tours are full-day bookings only, 8 hours on the water. If you are looking for a shorter outing or a cheaper group option, the Blue Cave group excursion or a bareboat rental may be a better fit.
