Itinerary
Enjoy a short photo stop above Nugal, one of the most famous hidden beaches on the Makarska Riviera. Known for its dramatic setting below the cliffs, naturist history, and wild untouched look, Nugal feels very different from the usual town beaches. After heavy rain, a seasonal waterfall can sometimes be seen above the beach, which makes this viewpoint even more special for photos.
Zečevo is a tiny island known for its beautiful Blue Lagoon, where the sea glows in bright turquoise shades that make this stop especially inviting for swimming and relaxing. With its small island feel, clear shallow water, and the popular waterfront Bungalow Bar, Zečevo is one of the most enjoyable and photogenic stops on the tour.
️Enjoy free time in Vrboska, the “Little Venice” of Croatia, where a narrow canal, tiny stone bridges, and a peaceful waterfront make the whole town feel almost like a film set. Despite its small size, Vrboska has a strong fishing heritage and even its own fishermen’s museum, while the fortified church above the village is one of its most unusual landmarks. It is the perfect stop for a coffee, a short walk, and a slower, more authentic side of Hvar.
Spend 70 minutes at Zlatni Rat, Croatia’s most famous beach and one of the most iconic spots on the Adriatic. Known for its long pebbled horn that changes shape with the wind, waves, and sea currents, this beach looks slightly different almost every day. **Guests are dropped off and picked up directly at the beach dock, giving them easy access to swim, relax, or take a walk along one of the most photographed beaches in Europe.
Biskup Bay is a hidden cove on Brač, an island famous for its many small boat-only bays that feel far more private than the usual beach stops. Because this side of Brač stays quiet and less visited, there is often a good chance you will be almost alone in the cove, with just clear water, peace, and the feeling of discovering a hidden corner of the island. It is the perfect place for a relaxed swim and a more exclusive Adriatic experience.

Very nice tour, beautiful stops and swim spots. Great skipper Ned
Fantastic Boat Trip, Nikola was a great driver and tour guide. Highly recommend this boat trip, and also saw Dolphins!
What a great afternoon - a fantastic way to see around the islands and cool off with a dip and some snorkelling - would recommend to anyone - well worth the money.
We really enjoyed the 3 island boat tour. The boat itself was well maintained and very comfortable even at higher speeds. It was one of those boats you see in the harbor and say “I hope that’s our boat.” Our captain (Ned) was very nice and knowledgable. The size of the group was good in that it felt more intimate and not crowded. The stops we visited were beautiful and the swimming was refreshing. The entire Palladium team members were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Palladium for theirs tours. They even arranged for a taxi to pick us up for a reasonable fee.
Cracking trip. Excellent locations and plenty of swimming. Even saw Dolphins on the way. Perfect! Speed boat and staff great too!
Thank you so much, Sharon! We’re thrilled to hear you had a fabulous trip and enjoyed the Golden Horn, “Little Venice,” swimming stops, and even dolphins on the way — what a perfect bonus! It means a lot to us that you enjoyed the speedboat and our staff as well. We hope to welcome you again for another adventure from Makarska!
I had this experience with my family, an experience with very comfort and always welcomed with the utmost sympathy, if you ask me if I would repeat without any doubt that I will repeat again, very comfortable boat is also very safe! Always very attentive!

Farting our guide was very friendly. He gave us figs that he had bought on the port of Vrboska. We appreciated the gesture. The course was perfect: swimming in crystal clear waters in uncrowded places was very pleasant. I strongly advise.
Merci beaucoup Thierry pour votre gentil retour ! 🌊 Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le parcours, la baignade dans des endroits tranquilles et la petite attention avec les figues. 😊 Pétar sera heureux de lire vos mots. Au plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau à bord pour une autre belle expérience ! 🚤✨
