A Restful Day of Visiting the Islands! - We did the hidden bays full day tour which included stopping off for a little wander and an ice cream as well as a really nice lunch which the whole family loved. Plenty of snorkelling and jumping off the boat for everyone and all totally at our pace. I found the company really professional and good to communicate with and would totally recommend them for a great day of rest and relaxation. We were staying in the hotel Berulia in Brela and were able to start and end the tour in BAska Voda harbour(rather than Markarskar ?) for a small amount of extra which meant we could walk to and fro the boat from the hotel very easily no taxi needed.

Best experience ever!! - We rented a boat with a skipper for a day. Luka, our skipper, was fantastic! Knowledgeable, professional and friendly, he guided us to some hidden gems and booked a really nice restaurant for lunch on one of the islands. The boat itself was clean, well looked after and comfortable. The booking was straightforward and communication from Petar very responsive and friendly. Thank you for an absolutely amazing experience, I highly recommend renting a private boat for a day and choose where you want to go!

Amazing experience with Palladium - We used Palladium for a private full day tour. From start to finish, these guys are amazing. Peter was even giving me tourism tips about where to park for cheap :) They couldn’t have been more helpful. Antonio our skipper was super skilled and really helpful. We were in great hands all day with him. I would give these guys 200% if I could. Full marks and thank you from our family

Fantastic Experience - A fantastic day from start to finish. We met our skipper for the day Ante - he was terrific- we saw dolphins right up close and Ante made several passes to make sure we got the best view. We had teenagers and Ante had them connect to the sound system so they could play their music. The boat was great too - 7 adults and we had plenty of room to relax. Stopped in beautiful bays with crystal clear water and for a delicious lunch at Trixi in Vrboska - gorgeous setting and delicious food and friendly staff. All in all a great experience and highly recommend

Great - Great experience. Nice lazy day at sea snorkeling. Very easy booking. Very nice owners - super helpful in answering all the questions and explaining how to prepare. Lovely skipper. One point for improvement: the return is a bit tiring - having to wait to fill the tank with petrol. I would prefer to pay more rather than wait so long.

Best trip ever - Amazing experience had by all. Everything about this trip was first class. Our skipper Tino, was friendly and knowledgeable. He made a reservation at a restaurant for us and the food was delicious. He took us to some hidden gems, which you would not find on any of the cheaper crowded excursions. It wasn’t the cheapest trip, as you need to factor in the fuel which cost 160 euros. This was on top of the 80 euros for the skipper, 150 euros for lunch and 450 euros for the boat hire, between 4 of us. However we feel it was well worth the money and would highly recommend to anybody

Fantastic day on boat ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We just back from a great fun in the sun cruise, we enjoyed every minut spend! Željko and his son Petar were great hosts, very careful with children, provided us fantastic service for exploring beautiful islands Hvar and Brač. Really lots to do, snorkelling, swimming, cave exploring, visiting small fisherman towns Vrbovska and Jelsa… Thank you for a fantastic service and outstanding experience with many thrills and laughs, especially the fast part it was amazing 🤩

Amazing… thanks guys! - We hired a boat with a skipper for a full day. Two adults and 11 and 5 year old. Carlo our skipper was very knowledgeable and friendly, also great with the kids! 🙌🏻 He clearly knew what he was doing and being a local knew the area well. We felt very safe and had the most amazing day exploring the hidden bays and harbours. Petar was very helpful and honest when booking our trip, he recommended what was best to suit our needs with a younger child. Smooth from start to finish! We would 100% book with Palladium again. Thank you so much guys!
