This private charter will take you on an exploration of Hvar’s southern coast, which is widely regarded as being home to the most beautiful beaches of Hvar. First, exploring Hvar Town followed by the Pakleni Islands just off the coast, cliff jumping at Red Rocks, and the quaint wine village of Sveta Nedjelja. Your captains will take you to pristine bays perfect for snorkelling in the Adriatic's crystal-clear waters.
Unwind on your boat’s comfortable cushioned platforms, soak up the sun, and enjoy your preferred music. Indulge in award-winning Croatian wines paired with delectable local seafood at charming seaside eateries.
All destinations are conveniently within 30 minutes of Hvar Island. This tour is perfect for the less intrepid whose focus is not to venture out as far as possible, but for those who are seeking maximal relaxation, enjoyment, and beauty.
Itinerary
10.00am: boarding at Jelsa Town Harbour.
The tour starts with the journey out to Hvar Town, whose stunning Venetian architecture, labyrinth of pretty streets and excellent range of shops, restaurants, and bars are well worth exploring. You'll have time to explore the charming streets and soak in the local atmosphere on foot.
Next, we'll cruise towards the Pakleni Islands, a tiny island archipelago off Hvar's coastline, where pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and hidden coves await.
While on Pakleni, you’ll have time to explore the idyllic bays of Vinogradišće and Stipanska, where you can swim in the clear waters, enjoy the natural surroundings, or simply relax on the boat. With no permanent inhabitants, these islands are perfect for discovering secluded spots and exploring on foot.
We continue onwards, now around Hvar's southern coast for more snorkelling, swimming, and chilling. We will stop at the famous Red Rocks for cliff-jumping, snorkelling in the little rock crevices, and more relaxing on the boat. The red-coloured iron in the soil is what gives this place its name.
A special experience awaits with an optional wine tasting in the quaint seaside village of Sveta Nedjelja, held in a unique winery located beneath the surface of the sea. This underwater winery offers a truly one-of-a-kind setting to sample some of the finest local wines.
6.00pm: return to Jelsa Harbour.
The boats
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.
