Description

Escape the crowds and discover the Adriatic at a relaxed pace aboard Tara, a beautifully restored traditional Dalmatian wooden boat. Visit the charming fishing village of Maslinica on Šolta Island, swim in the crystal-clear Blue Lagoon, enjoy a freshly prepared local lunch in peaceful Branac Bay on Čiovo, and experience authentic Dalmatian hospitality with a friendly local crew. Unlike typical speedboat tours, this full-day cruise is designed for travellers who appreciate comfort, small groups and genuine local experiences. There is plenty of time to relax, swim, snorkel and simply enjoy the beauty of the islands without feeling rushed. Your journey begins in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Trogir, before sailing across the Trogir Channel to the picturesque fishing village of Maslinica on Šolta Island. Enjoy free time to stroll along the waterfront, explore charming stone streets, relax with a coffee or simply soak up the Mediterranean atmosphere. From Maslinica, continue to the famous Blue Lagoon, where the boat anchors in its crystal-clear turquoise waters. Spend time swimming, snorkelling or simply relaxing on deck while surrounded by one of Croatia's most beautiful natural lagoons. After your swim, the cruise continues to peaceful Branac Bay on Čiovo Island, where you'll enjoy a freshly prepared local lunch served by a family-run estate in a beautiful seaside setting. Choose between grilled fish, grilled chicken or traditional Dalmatian pasta with tomato sauce (manistra na pome), accompanied by local wine, soft drinks and water. The Fisherman's Table is inspired by the everyday meals once shared by fishermen, sailors and island families across the Adriatic. The cuisine follows the philosophy of old Dalmatian kitchens—simple, seasonal and authentic. What matters here is not fine dining, but the atmosphere: the scent of the grill, the shade of the pine trees and the slow rhythm of a Dalmatian afternoon. No fine dining. No staged luxury. Just honest local food, served slowly by the sea. Throughout the day, your local captain shares fascinating stories about the islands, Dalmatian traditions, maritime heritage and local legends, adding a unique cultural touch that makes this experience much more than just another boat trip. On the peaceful cruise back to Trogir, enjoy the Adriatic one last time and return with unforgettable memories of crystal-clear waters, authentic flavours and the timeless charm of the Dalmatian islands.
