- Pass byRiva HarborBacvice BeachSustipanMarjan Park
- 1Backing onto the pine-covered foothills of the Marjan peninsula, this scenic pebble and sand stretch has an appealing laid-back atmosphere. Kašuni Beach is an attractive beach destination for swimming and sunbathing. More peaceful and rural in feel than Split’s main Bačvice Beach, it is a good place to enjoy a relaxing day out. Bask in the sun and lounge away an afternoon on its tranquil shores. The strip is comprised of fine pebble and sand and is bordered by wooded sloping hills. Also we stop in front of the beach for swimming.
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- NIallbootsy0 contributionsFantastic Day BoatingAmazing time . Skipper Toni collected our group (12 people ) in Pucisca & took us around for the day. Stops included the Lagoon , snorkeling at the ship wreck & Trogir (beautiful Old town) plus a stoppage when dolphins were swimming alongside the boat. Toni keep us well informed of all the places along the way & was a great guide. Highly recommend his tours !Written July 31, 2024
- jessyb8230 contributionsGreat day on a speed boatWe had a great trip around Brac with Toni. Very friendly guy. Nice boat. Good locations he brought us to. All together a very nice day.Written July 31, 2024
- Passenger376223547900 contributionsBest Company!We had a daytrip to spots on Brač, Šolta, Blue Lagoon and Trogir with a Speedboat. Our Skipper was Toni and it was a perfect day! I would definitly recommend this Agency! Communication was as easy as possible, boat in perfect conditions, and the crew did a great Job! Thanks for everything!Written July 29, 2024
- royjX7942KN0 contributionsSpeedboat tourWhat a day!!! We did a Blue Lagoon tour with a speedboat, and it was incredible. It was a cloudy and windy day, but our captain Tony, made sure that we were all safe and happy. Tony was so polite, helpful and funny, he really took care of us and explained everything that we needed to know about our stops. If you ever visit Split, you must do this tour!Written June 29, 2024
- V1260PKmariob0 contributionsBlue lagoonWonderful day in Blue lagoon. Skipper Tony and hostess Jude were amazing and they provided everything for us. We have visted two island and city of Trogir all in 4 and a half hours with speedboat!!!Written June 9, 2024

- J F0 contributionsMust do tourExcellent people from the booth to the drivers. The tour was incredible and we are experienced travelers that are in a new city each month. My wife lost her iPhone in the Uber and the staff located the Uber and arranged for a pick up.Written October 10, 2023
- Sightseer6004450 contributionsAmazing - especially for familiesIt was amazing and nice amount of people on the boat. The captain and our tour guide Alesha I think was fantastic. The 3 stops were amazing. We had a small child and buggy and was no problem getting on and off boat. Great value. Can’t recommend it enough. We did blue lagoon half day. Make sure you bring cash as one of the stops only accepts cash.Written October 6, 2023
- 267helip0 contributionsDay out swimmingThere were good opportunities to swim straight from the boat in the warm turquoise sea. My fish lunch of a tuna hamburger was the best I have eaten over the years. The shipwreck at Solta has been so popular with tourists that you can hardly see it anymore from covering algae. Even in late September also the Blue Lagoon at Drevnik Veli was full of vessels. Last stop at Okrug had a restaurant serving also coffee.Written September 30, 2023
- Relax088518857600 contributionsAmazing day trip to 5 islands and blue caveDid the 5 island speedboat tour with blue cave. Lea, our tour guide, was incredibly lovely and helpful. The tour itself was amazing and well worth the money. Anita amd our skipper were great too. Am experience not to miss !Written July 20, 2023
- Ryan C0 contributionsWhy is the rum gone?Amazing experience getting to be on this pirate ship! Judita on the crew was extremely fun and friendly! The value for this is fantastic, had plenty of wine and had a good swim. Awesome time! Drink up me hearties yoho!Written July 13, 2023
- Aileen B0 contributionsBest Day trip!We did the blue cave and 5 island tour with Nancy and Tomo. If you are on the fence about taking this tour, take it! It was worth it. Sunny split is kiosk #13 on Split Riva. At least as of July 2023. We are a family of 4 with two young children ages 11 and 13. We had two days set aside to visit the islands. We debated about staying overnight in Hvar or Brac, or staying put in Split and taking 2 day trips instead. We opted for the latter. The first day trip was this 5-island tour. Nancy and Tomo took very good care of us. Tomo was a fast yet safe driver. I usually get some sort of motion sickness but did not on this trip! Nancy was very informative — we, but especially our kids, enjoyed learning from her. The Blue Cave was open on the day that we took the tour. While it was fascinating, I didn’t think this was the highlight of the day. So don’t despair if it is closed! I thought the Blue lagoon private island (bring cash for this stop) and Hvar stops were so much more enjoyable. And of course, the boat ride itself.Written July 6, 2023
- 2mirnaa0 contributionsLoved itI did the 5 island tour from Split with Nensi and Tomo and honestly it was the highlight of my trip to Split. They were fun, great music by Nensi and exhilarating ride thanks to Tomos steering. Definitely not the faint of heart as the speed boat is extremely bumpy and fast but we had a blast. Good time allocation on each Island. My only comment wound be that the blue cave is not worth 18€ to visit.Written June 30, 2023
- Dream364989216420 contributionsFun, relaxing, great crew!We did the blue cave and 5 island tour with Nensi and Tomo. We started off a little later than some other tours, and it was a race to the Blue Cave to ensure we made it to be able to see it. Tomo was an excellent driver and bypassed most of the boats in front of us. Nensi ensured we were all comfortable and played music for the trip and even let me DJ for some of it. She gave fun facts about the places we stopped at. They gave us plenty of time at each location. I would recommend bringing snacks as the first location with food is 3 stops in. They did provide water. Also if you get cold easily I recommend bringing a windbreaker jacket. I would highly recommend this crew and tour.Written June 19, 2023
- jenh4710 contributionsGreat tour with great crewWe did really enjoyable full day tour with our trusted crew of Nanci and Tomo. They really looked after us and made for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Highlights included the Blue Cave and swimming at the bay of Stiniva. Nanci bought the trip alive with all her stories and Tomo is a great captain who ensured the trip was plain sailing…even when the sea got rough!Written May 26, 2023

We didn't plan taking a tour, the ship got our attention, it looked like it came straight from the movie Pirate's of the Caribbean :). But it was our host Sokol who talked us into going on a sunset tour and we are so glad we went. It was an amazing experience. Sipping a glass of wine while looking at the sunset and the city of Split is definitely experience to recommend.

We booked this tour at the last minute and were delighted with our trip. On this tour you will explore the coast of the city of Split and enjoy the sun in a beautiful rustic boat.
Ivica and his crew member Ivan were fantastic hosts, answered any questions we had and provided us drinks.
The great advantage of this tour is that it doesn't last all day and you can easily add it to your schedule.

On the day of the arrival to Split, we caught the ad hoc moment and jumped to the sunset tour at 19.00. That choice was absolutely great! In the boat we enjoyed lovely views, wine, company, stories, athmospere, sunset... I warmly recommend this cruise and its' lovely staff! Additionally Sokol recommended us the restaurant where we ate the most delicious local food and had the memorable evening.

We booked a 90 minutes tour: 2 adults and 4 children. We paid 100 Euro in total. Due to the fact that noone else booked this tour the operator accepted a private tour instead. So the boat was delayed by 30 minutes and they just shortened our tour to 75 minutes and skipped the swim. The included drink was a cheap white wine in a 100 ml plastic cup and some orange syrup with a lot of water that the kids didn't want to drink. To sell this as juice was just ridiculous.
The company did give us a refund of 20 Euro which was nice but still I found 80 Euro for 2 adults, a baby, a toddler and 2 kids too much.

Dear Guest.
We are terribly sorry you didn't enjoy the private tour you took on Santa Maria boat.
Regardless we strongly disagree with this review.
Before departure we informed you about tour duration. The offered price was more then fair since we gave you a private tour for the price of only 4 tickets. The tour took place only for you not to miss on something you made up your mind to do and not to be disappointed with your day.
We are also surprised that you expect the INCLUDED wine on a 30€ per person boat tour to be something from the top shelf and the juice to be hand squeezed.
Last of all we gave you a partial refund for the misunderstanding about the tour duration.
Taking everything into account we have to strongly disagree with this review and call it very unfair.
Best regards, Santa Maria team

We booked via Mia on stand 6 and she said along with the sunset, you'd go past some historical places, get unlimited drinks plus cheese/ham boards
Judita failed the deliver - not sure if she was drunk (she seemed it a bit and a few of us thought she was) otherwise she was just v.lazy on wed 12th
We got 3 drinks total - 2 soley because we finally managed to find her off her phone or not hiding or just finally catch her attention to ask for one!
The cheese board...we got a cube or two each then we watched her scoff have of it herself while she was standing with 2 other guests but hadn't cicled around elsewhere
And didn't see any ham.
Also who knows where the historical places were, no info shared.
Cute to spend time with my friend watching the sunset so for the view spot and a trip that doesn't use a lot of your time then fab.
But yeah Judita was certainly having a majorly off day - she's there to make the experience but she soley was a 1* performance!

Had a great time, despite the poor weather. The Captain and tour guide with friendly and made good jokes which made it fun. Despite the poor weather diminishing the sunset, the group we were with joked heartily and made the best of it. And we saw dolphins!

We’ve had an amazing time on the sunset cruise! The crew were so lovely and looked after us very well. And we got the most amazing views of the city and the sunset too. We also managed to have a quick dip in the sea! I would recommend this cruise to anyone, these guys really know how to put a smile on your face and they make you feel so welcome. Thank you!!!

We had a wonderful and relaxing time on the boat and our guide Sokol was the best! He treated us to some great stories and knowledge about the surrounding area. He even suggested a great local place to eat and see! He was a great personal touch to our tour and would highly recommend a tour with Sokol!

We took the panorama cruise with the "Pirate ship" and it was nice way to see the city from the sea. We hoped that the captain or the waitress would give us some information from the areas and places we pass but they didn't. In addition "unlimited drinks" meant that they served us one drink but then we had to ask for more and we didn't know that - we thought that service would last the whole trip because there were only one other family in the boat with us. Still this was nice experience with beautiful views.

So good to get away from the crowds for 90 minutes - 2 large cruise ships were in town. Good to see Split from the sea, and also the Marjan peninsula. White plonk served in plastic cups both on the outward and return journeys, and opportunity for a swim for those who wanted it. Awnings were put up to keep the sun off. The only disappointment - there was no commentary, and we had to ask the “captain” for information on what we were passing. More info on the replica boat would have been useful; it had lovingly been built but we knew nothing about it!
