If you’re looking for fast speedboats and throwback songs to get you to your destinations then look no further (If you like your peace and quiet maybe not the one for you). Great day out our tour guide Laura was full of recommendations and where the best ice creams were. Lawrence our driver was fab too :)Written September 10, 2024
- 801dickp0 contributionsAmazing way to tour the IslandsKarlo did an incredible job as our skipper. Great history and synopsis on each island that we visited and he brought a locals understanding to the entirety of the trip. Each stop along the way was special and memorable in its own way, from the beauty of the Blue Caves to the charm of the port towns in Hvar and Vis. If considering a boat tour in Split this is certainly the one to choose. We had taken others and while still very good, this one was certainly the best. The boat is the size of a large speedboat (25-30ft) and the ride out was smooth but the sea was very rough coming back. Just a caution for more delicate passengers.Written September 9, 2024
- HelenG30960 contributionsFantastic dayWe rented a motor boat for the day starting in Split and ending up in Hvar. Josip was our skipper and was truly excellent. He had knowledge of the islands, and was able to go with the flow of our family. It was truly a fantastic day ! I highly recommend!Written September 9, 2024
- 941meg_0 contributionsFamily tripMe and my family took this trip with Mayer Charter. We were on nice black boat. Our crew were Lawrence and Lara. She was nice and friendly, and je was good skipper. We payed 18€ per person for Blue Cave. It's shame for Blue Cave stuff that they take 18€ for Being in Cave for 20min. Vis Island od Mamama Mia Island and it's beatifull. Music was nice.Budihovac Island is swimming stop that we more prefered than Stiniva Bay. Hvar is amazing. Boat was comfy! Would reccomend for everyone! 10/10!Written September 9, 2024

This was a boat that was advertised to take 8 adults from Split to a swimming spot off one of the Pakleni Islands, and visiting/spending time on Brac and Hvar, and back to Split.
The main problem is that the "big boat" provided was not a boat that could safely handle the choppy conditions crossing the wide channel. This became particularly apparent during the (at times scary) return to Split when the afternoon chop, waves and wind ended up drenching all of us and having us all hanging on for dear life. My wife was actually in tears by the time we got back to Split. None of this potential for very hair raising boating conditions was explained to us before the tour, or at any point during the tour. The driver was young, and seemed competent in trying to deal with the conditions, but his English was limited and he choose not to tell us in advance what we might get into.
Other than that, the swimming and touring of the Islands themselves was beautiful. I would not however recommend this particular kind of boating experience to anyone except the hardiest/most "adrenaline driven" souls. It is dangerous, plain and simple.

We spent the day with Stefan and had such a great time! Stefan was on time, funny, and gave us suggestions for places to visit once we got to the islands. He made multiple stops for us to swim in areas with no other people so it felt like we had these amazing places all to ourselves. He was also an incredible DJ and his music choices made the whole experience even better! Our day on the boat with stefan was one the the best days of our whole trip.

The captain and tour guide, Stephan, was amazing! This excursion was worth every penny and I can not recommend it enough. The day is perfectly planned out so you see the best of all three islands, but you can also make your own itinerary. This was all the highlight of our visit to Croatia and possibly for our entire European vacation.

Angela was brilliant at organising this- the weather prevented our original tour to the blue cave so we did an alternative tour to hvar, a few islands and brac. Tony was an awesome driver, knowledgeable and was thoroughly entertaining. The cities/towns were stunning and the beaches we visited were beautiful. My son had an amazing day and so did I. Will definitely do this again in the summer when it's proper swimming weather!

We had a fabulous time visiting Hvar and Brac and the various swimming coves. The scenery was spectacular! Our skipper, Stefan, was great! He was prompt, friendly, and very responsive to our needs. He even went out of his way to meet up with us afterwards to return an item we left on the boat. Fantastic experience!

We had a fantastic day in Croatia on this tour. Josip (JB) turned out to be the perfect companion for us. He was knowledgeable, incredibly personable, and more than seaworthy. We saw several beautiful places, had time to explore, and had one of the best meals of the entire vacation (per JB‘s recommendation). We also enjoyed, a couple of wonderful swimming/snorkeling spots that really made the day perfect. Highly highly recommended.

We booked a full day tour, and Toni was our skipper.
From his very first communication, and our initial meeting with him, he was very friendly, engaging, very informative, and a delight to be around.
Toni insured our safety and well being, but also our enjoyment all day, throughout the day.
The experience was far more rewarding than I even expected, and my adult children and wife had an outstanding time!
I am grateful for the opportunity to see these and traverse these beautiful islands, to jump in the clear blue waters of the Adriatic Sea, and to spend a day with Toni!
We highly recommend Mayer charters and a full day, private boat tour!

We had a lot of fun thanks to our Skipper Ivan, who made sure to satisfy all of our needs as a family with young kids.
Very responsible driver, great communication, and fantastic recommendations
Had we known that it was going to be so good, We would have booked more days with him and this company.
Greatly recommended!!

We had an amazing time and Skopa was such a great captain! We saw so many islands and got to swim and explore every single one. Skopa was so friendly and he really made the tour top tier. It’s a beautiful tour and if you’re in Split I think it’s a must-do excursion.

Fantastic day out. Above and beyond our expectations. Stefan made our trip one to remember. He was a brilliant skipper and couldn’t do enough to make our day special. Worth every single penny. Thanks for giving us a good laugh and loved the music choices on board.

Hi there, I will be 7 months pregnant on this trip. Will this be okay/safe?

Hello! We are traveling to Croatia in September and want to make sure this tour will be available due to any Covid restrictions in the country. Being just 2 passengers, can we modify the itinerary (such as wanting to go only to the blue caves and Hvar)? Thanks

Hi we are very interested in touring Hvar, the Blue Caves, Trogir, and Pakleni Islands but not Brac (since we will have already visited). Will we get to visit the Blue Caves and/or the Green Caves ? Also we really want to have lunch or early dinner at Dalmatino on Hvar. Would that be possible?
Written August 21, 2018
Hello, would it be possible to book a day trip that starts in Split, views the islands, and then drops us in Montenegro in Budva or Kotor? We are three people with luggage. Looking at around August 12th. Thank you!
