Split is the busiest day-charter hub on the Adriatic: the islands of Brač, Šolta and Hvar all sit within a 1–2 hour cruise of the Riva, so a single day on the water covers swimming stops, island lunches and a sunset return past Diocletian’s Palace. Boats leave from ACI Marina Split, a 10-minute walk from the old town, and from Marina Kaštela across the bay.

Where to go for a day on the water

Routes you can run with your own boat from Split — no tour timetable, your own swim stops.

Blue Lagoon & Šolta

Cross to the Blue Lagoon off Dršvenik for the Adriatic’s clearest swimming, then round Šolta’s southern coves for lunch in Mašlinica. An easy full day at relaxed cruising speed — the classic first-timer route.

Hvar & the Pakleni Islands

Run south to Hvar town for a morning coffee on the Pjaca, then anchor through the Pakleni archipelago — Palmižana bay for lunch, Stipanska or Jerolim for the afternoon swim. Doable in a day with an early start; better with speed on your side.

Brač & the Golden Horn

Bol’s Zlatni Rat beach is 90 minutes from Split by sea. Combine it with Milna’s harbour on Brač’s west coast and a swim stop at Lučice bay on the way home.

Renting a boat in Split: what to know

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Split?

Day and short charters in Split currently start from €157 per day. Prices vary with boat size, season and whether a skipper is included — every listing shows its live price before you book.

Do I need a license to rent a boat?

To skipper yourself in Croatia you need a valid boating license and (in most cases) a VHF certificate. No license? Book a skippered charter — a local skipper handles the boat while you enjoy the day.

Can I rent a boat in Split for just one day?

Yes — Split has single-day charters available alongside 2–3 day short trips. Set your dates on the listing to see live availability.

Is a skipper included?

Depends on the boat: some include a skipper in the price, others offer one as an extra, and licensed guests can take many boats out bareboat. Each listing states what’s included.

Where do day charters leave from in Split?

Most boats depart ACI Marina Split (a short walk from the old town) or Marina Kaštela, 20 minutes away near the airport — the pickup point is shown on each boat’s listing.

Staying longer than a day?

Split is also a weekly-charter base — browse the full sailing fleet and split the cost with your crew.
