The clearest water around Trogir is offshore — and a boat is the way to reach it. Here's how to choose between shared island trips, a private charter and a sunset cruise, and what each costs.
Four very different days on the water, all from Trogir or nearby. The wider list is on our day trips guide.
A half- or full-day shared trip to the turquoise Blue Lagoon and Šolta, with several swimming stops.
The full-day speedboat showpiece to the glowing Blue Cave, Vis and Hvar.
Your own boat and skipper — set the route, the stops and the timing. Best for families and groups.
A short, relaxed coastal cruise around Čiovo at golden hour, often with a drink included.
Instant confirmation and, on most, free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
The easy island day from Trogir: the Blue Lagoon, Šolta's bays and a hidden cove, with real time in the water. Full detail on our Blue Lagoon tour guide.
Choose your own stops — the Blue Lagoon, a quiet Čiovo cove or a lunch in a fishing village — at your own pace. Ideal for families and groups who want space and fewer crowds.
A short evening cruise around Čiovo and the old-town waterfront as the stone turns gold — the easy, family-friendly way onto the water without a full day at sea.

Shared trips are best value for couples and solo travellers; a private charter often wins for families or groups of four or more once you split the cost.
Swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sun cream, a hat and water. Snorkel gear is worth bringing — the lagoon water is made for it. See the beaches guide for more swimming spots.
Confirm whether fuel, entrance fees, drinks or lunch are included, and where the boat departs — some leave from Trogir, others from Split or Čiovo.
The best skippers and small-group boats fill up in July and August. Reserve ahead with free cancellation so you can adjust around the weather.
Most boats leave early from Trogir or Čiovo, so a central base makes mornings easy. See our best hotels in Trogir guide.

The most popular is a half- or full-day island trip to the Blue Lagoon and Šolta, with swimming and snorkelling stops. For the big islands, the full-day Blue Cave and Hvar speedboat tour is the showpiece. Sunset cruises are the easy evening option.
Private charters with a skipper typically start from a few hundred euros for a half day, depending on the boat size, season and route. Split between a family or group it can work out similar to several individual tour tickets, with far more flexibility.
Organised tours and private charters include a licensed skipper, so no licence is needed. Some small, low-power boats can be rented without a licence; anything larger requires a recognised boating licence.
Yes — short evening cruises run along the coast and around Čiovo, often with a drink included. They are a relaxed, family-friendly alternative to a full island day and a good way to see the old town from the water.
