    We had a really great time. Ivo told us about a lot of history and was really sweet. He drove us to all the pakleni islands, where we got enough time to swim, go to the beach, etc. He also had swim equipment and gave us some privacy when we wanted to chill on the boat. He was amazing! We recommend this trip to everyone

    A huge thank you to our skipper Ivo, who was simply incredible! The itinerary was perfectly planned: he showed us all the most beautiful spots while also giving us time to relax, swim, and enjoy ourselves. Everything was provided on board (cooler, masks, snorkels…), which made the experience even better. Beyond the stunning places we visited, it was really Ivo’s human touch and presence that made all the difference – attentive, warm, and passionate. We were even emotional to say goodbye at the end! An unforgettable excursion with unbeatable value for money. I would recommend it 100%!

    Ivo was the best! He is incredibly kind, communicative, and knowledgeable in the history of the different parts of the island. His boat was perfect for a friend and I while we were staying in Hvar and he was flexible with our timing since we took the ferry in that morning. This was our favorite activity of the trip and worth the cost (which was actually very reasonable). Thank you Ivo for sharing your boat and the day with us!

    My group of four friends had a lovely half day with Ivo, who was a great skipper and guide. He took us to some beautiful coves and islands, just the right number of stops in the three hours so that we could see plenty but weren’t always moving around, and did his best to make the few choppy moments of the journey as smooth as possible for one in our party who is nervous on boats. Definitely recommend

    A 5-star experience! Ivo was the perfect guide. Kind, friendly, and helpful, he made an effort to speak Italian the entire time to put us at ease. He took us to some of the most beautiful coves on the island and booked us a great restaurant, guaranteeing us a spot for lunch. The boat was clean, brand new, and very comfortable. We even had masks and snorkels available. The day was truly wonderful, and all thanks to Ivo and his organization. We absolutely recommend it!

    Ivo was amazing! He showed us all around the different islands and gave us a little history lesson as well as show us to the best spots to stop and swim. We even got to have a cocktail at the Tito restaurant on an island. Half a day was plenty, we still got to see everything we wanted and swim twice. Great day out would highly recommend
