Your beautiful streamlined luxury Colnago speedboat will charter you to some of Dalmatia's most hidden yet beautiful beaches on an island-hopping tour set north of Hvar.

Itinerary
10.00am: boarding at Jelsa Town Harbour.
The tour starts with a visit to the southern side of the island of Brač, where we will take a tour through the military tunnels carved into the rockfaces – a unique experience for those interested in the island's wartime history and military architecture.
Next, we’ll head to the beautiful island of Šolta, known for its pristine nature and turquoise bays. Here, on the southern side of Šolta, you can't help but admire the supremely peaceful coves and crystal-clear waters.
While on Šolta, you’ll have time to explore the more popular bays of Maslinica and Nečujam – and the island's secluded southern coves where you can swim in the clear waters, enjoy the natural surroundings, or simply relax on the boat.
From Šolta, we’ll cruise to the renowned Krknjaše islands, specifically to its famous Blue Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon is a stunning, sheltered bay, again with vibrant turquoise waters and surrounded by uninhabited islets. It’s an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling, and soaking in the natural beauty of the area.
Lunch will be served at a local seaside restaurant, where you can enjoy traditional Mediterranean cuisine.
On the return journey, we’ll pass by Miolna back on Brač Island, and the famous Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) beach. This iconic beach, known for its unique shape, is one of Croatia’s most photographed locations.
6.00pm: return to Jelsa Harbour.

AWOL 38
This one-of-a-kind Colnago provides a truly luxurious experience wherever it takes you. The fleet is named AWOL – A Way of Life. Why? We can’t see a better way of life than cruising the islands and coastline of the Adriatic. There is also something restorative for the soul in sometimes going AWOL from daily obligations, and doing so in such style feels particularly satisfying.
