You will meet up with the skipper in the Hvar harbour near the green lantern. As Hvar port is very busy and the Port authority allows only 5 minutes for boats to stay on a dock, please arrive 10 minutes earlier so that you have enough time to find the boat and if needed a skipper can contact you.

Great Day On the Water - We had an incredible time out on the water with Viktor! October weather caused a slight change in our schedule and Day Sail was extremely accommodating in helping us shift our dates to make sure we could still have our sailing experience without wind and rain. We ended up with beautiful weather, the boat was spacious and comfortable, and Viktor was a great guide. Highly recommend spending part of a day out with this group!

Perfect Day on the Water - This was the perfect relaxing day on the waters off Hvar. Our captains were kind, punctual, happy to explain things about sailing and the places we visited, even the music choices were super chill and relaxing. The water is crystal clear and calm, perfect for swimming.

Memorable Sailing Trip in Hvar - We had an amazing day sailing around Hvar with our captain, Petra! Even though the weather was quite windy, he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and still had a great experience. Petra was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable about the area, and made the whole day feel relaxed and memorable. The views were stunning, the stops were beautiful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend sailing with Petra — it was truly one of the highlights of our trip!

This is Sailing Done Right! - The pickup spot was very convenient, in fact is was just across the marina from our hotel. That made it very easy to head over in time to get to our yacht.
Our captain and host was named Barry, and he made us feel very welcome. He explained the basic of our trip, where we'd be going and how long we'd be actually sailing. Then he showed us where to keep our drinks - very important information :) .
We sailed out to two islands, at each of them we weighed anchor and were able to swim/snorkel or paddleboard. With the gorgeous sunshine we were having, jumping in the water seemed like a great idea, even if the water was initially 'bracing'!
The yacht had six people onboard, not including the captain, and it made for good number of people. The yacht was not overcrowded, and the three couples onboard sort of hung out together. It made for a good atmosphere, and we certainly seemed to enjoy each other's company.
Due to poor weather early in the day, all sailings were pushed back two hours. While this made for a later start (and finish) the bonus was that Barry offered for us to stay out even longer, and turn our afternoon sailing into a sunset cruise! Of course, we all said Yes! and ended up with the perfect end to the day - sailing into the sunset. Magical!
Even without the extra hour onboard, we found the trip to be great value for money. We'd certainly do it again and would recommend it to anybody staying in Hvar.

Best day - We had the best day. Our skipper, Victor was fabulous, knowledgeable about the islands and we were able to be under sail for some of the trip. Had fabulous swim in little cove. Would highly recommend. The half day is brilliant because then you can do other things on the island also. Big thank you to Victor and team. David and Kathy, Australia

Half day sailing - The pickup by the green lantern was smooth and efficient. The instructions were easy to follow. Although there was no wind, the 2 lads made it interesting and were able to adapt and overcome. The little stories of the local places of interest were entertaining. Safety of our group was important to them. Nice choice of music!

A great day out - A well run, relaxed and fun sail. A small group, not too commercial and exactly the right balance of adventure and guidance. I would definitely recommend it.

MAGNIFICENT !! - I can confidently say this is the best boat trip we have ever done by a mile, and we have done a lot of trips !
The boat was immaculate and FAST. Just riding in the boat was an experience in itself. The smaller size boat meant it was intimate but yet there was plenty of room with a separate room to change and a toilet.
The locations were all fantastic but our favourite was the Stiniva cove on Vis island, the water was so blue and there were so many fish !
All the other locations were great and the boat got you into good positions in all of them.
The crew were amazing and it was just the best day. What a lovely company. Thoroughly recommended !
