The route

How the day usually flows.

This is not a checklist route with fixed timing. The point is to give your group a good day on the water, not rush you through stops.

  1. 1

    Leave Hvar Town

    You leave Hvar Town and start along the south coast, where the first part of the day is usually about finding the right bay for an early swim and easing into the day properly.

  2. 2

    Along the south coast

    From there, the route stays flexible. Depending on the sea, the wind, and what your group enjoys, the skipper can continue along the south side with more swim stops or start moving toward Pakleni at a natural pace.

  3. 3

    Shift toward Pakleni

    By midday or early afternoon, the day usually shifts toward the Pakleni Islands, where you can slow down, stop for lunch, and spend more time swimming or staying somewhere that feels right for your group.

  4. 4

    Easy afternoon

    The afternoon is the easy part of the route. Less rushing, shorter moves, more time in the water, then a relaxed return toward Hvar later in the day.

  5. 5

    One last short stop

    If conditions and timing allow, one last short stop near Hvar can round the day off before heading back in.

  6. 6

    Return to Hvar

    Back into Hvar Town at a relaxed pace. The exact rhythm of the day stays flexible.

Private vs group

Why this works better as a private tour.

Your group only

No strangers on the boat and no fixed shared-tour pace.

More time where it matters

If your group wants another swim, a longer lunch, or a slower afternoon, the day can move with that.

Easier pace

This route works well for couples, families, and mixed groups because it does not rely on rushing through a long-distance schedule.

Better local judgment

Your skipper adjusts the day to wind, sea, traffic, and what actually feels worth doing.

Direct communication before the trip

You ask David directly, sort the basics quickly on WhatsApp, and know what kind of day you are booking.

Meet the boat

Set up for a full day around Hvar.

For this kind of route, the boat matters because the day is built around short moves, swim stops, getting on and off comfortably, and staying relaxed between places.

The right setup here is not about showing off specs. It is about having a practical, comfortable boat for a full private day around South Hvar and Pakleni.

You want enough comfort to stay out all day, enough flexibility to stop where it makes sense, and a boat that suits a private route rather than a crowded excursion timetable.
