Exploring the Pakleni Islands and Beyond

Setting sail from Hvar Town or Stari Grad opens up a world of scenic coastal routes. The Pakleni Islands are a highlight, offering shallow, turquoise bays like Palmizana and Vinogradisce, which are perfect for young swimmers. For a longer day trip, heading toward the south side of Hvar reveals the stunning Red Rocks (Crvene Stijene) and the quiet village of Sveta Nedjelja. If you choose a multi-day rental, the island of Vis and the famous Blue Cave on Bisevo are within easy reach. These routes prioritize short sailing distances between stops, ensuring that even the youngest sailors remain comfortable and engaged throughout the voyage while discovering the most beautiful anchorages in Croatia.

Pricing and Seamless Booking Process

The cost of renting a boat for your family in Hvar depends on the season, the size of the vessel, and whether you require a crew. During the peak months of July and August, daily rates for a comfortable motorboat typically start from €600, while a luxury catamaran might range from €1,500 to €3,500 per day. Booking is straightforward through our platform; once you select your dates and preferred boat type, our team handles the verification of availability and logistics. We recommend booking at least three to four months in advance for the summer season to secure the best child-friendly yachts and the most experienced local skippers who specialize in family itineraries.

Expert Tips for Your Hvar Yachting Holiday

To make the most of your time on the water, we suggest planning your trip between late May and September, when the Adriatic is warm and the winds are gentle. Combining your boat rental with a stay in one of our luxury villas in Hvar Town or the quieter Stari Grad plain offers the best of both worlds. Always remember to pack high-SPF sunscreen and light windbreakers for the evening breeze. If you are traveling with toddlers, let us know in advance so we can install safety nets around the deck. Our concierge service can also pre-stock the boat with your family's favorite snacks and drinks, ensuring your focus remains on creating lifelong memories.

If you wish to bareboat (drive the boat yourself), you must hold a valid international maritime license and a VHF radio certificate. However, most families prefer to hire a professional local skipper. This allows you to relax and enjoy the scenery while an expert handles navigation, mooring, and finding the best hidden spots around the Hvar coastline.

The Pakleni Islands offer fantastic spots like Palmizana, which has a sandy-bottomed bay and several family-friendly restaurants. On Hvar island, the beaches near Milna and the shallow waters of Dubovica are excellent choices. A boat allows you to visit these popular spots early in the morning before the crowds arrive, providing a more private experience for your children.

Prices for a full-day charter typically start from €1,200 for a premium motorboat with a skipper.
