This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 8 luxury yacht cruises in Croatia worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend 3 to 4 hours island-hopping from Zadar in a small group of up to 12. Swim off Ošljak and Galovac, stop at Ugljan for food and free time, and enjoy an Aperol Spritz or Prosecco from captains such as Edi, Ari, Mauro, or Nino.
“Fab Trip really loved it Edi gets top marks and more :)”
Set out from Zadar’s Foša harbor on a small boat limited to 12 people. Swim and snorkel near Ošljak, walk its quiet fishing village, then visit the Ugljan area and Preko. Edi, Mario, Mate, or another skipper may lead your trip, with water, snorkeling gear, and one included Aperol Spritz or Prosecco.
“Mario, our skipper, was great. He was friendly, ensured we were having a good time in spite of weather, and cleaned the boat well before we embarked. The 3 locations we visited were beautiful. The water was clear, which was perfect for snorkeling. We were worried about having to take a bus from the cruise terminal to the drop off, however we found the spot easily as the address given in the listing was exact. We would definitely recommend Molo Tours.”
Captain Šime, also called Simon, takes your private group of up to seven from Dubrovnik to Koločep, Lopud, and possibly Šipan aboard a Cap Camarat 7.5. You choose the pace, swim in caves, visit Šunj Beach, and enjoy drinks, towels, snorkeling gear, and a GoPro.

“This tour was the highlight of our trip! Robert, the owner of the boat took us to wonderful places, where we swam in caves, snorkeled and enjoyed the beautiful views.

“The price of the trip is higher than other in the market but the experience isn’t as good as we expected. The tour guide is not professional who didnt share enough information about the rundown/ planning of the trip. When we off the blue cave out of boat, the guide didn’t inform us the long waiting time (more than an hour) on the island so we didn’t bring our water, food. There was a time the guide said ‘I m not going to tell the history/ background anymore as I think you guys are not interested’. So, I think that’s a bit rude. During lunch time, the tour guide persuaded…”
