Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about SeaExplore boat tours and transfers from Trogir, Seget Donji & Split.
01
Booking & general
Where do SeaExplore tours depart from?
The small-group Half-Day Island Tour departs from the Trogir Riva. For private tours we can arrange a custom pickup location — Trogir, Split or your accommodation.
How do I book, and do I pay online now?
Every booking starts as an inquiry — send your dates and we reply personally to confirm availability and the final price. There is no online payment yet; you confirm directly with us.
What's the difference between the half-day tour and a private tour?
The half-day boat tour from Trogir is a small-group trip (max 12) on a set route with a morning or afternoon departure. Private tours are exclusively yours — your own boat, route and timing for up to 12 people; the private half-day boat tour runs the same three stops.
When is the best time for a boat tour in Dalmatia?
The season runs from May to November. June, September and October bring warm sea with calmer crowds; July and August are the liveliest and hottest months.
Are the tours suitable for families with children?
Yes. The boats are comfortable, swim stops are in calm bays and life jackets are available. Private tours are especially flexible for families.
How many people fit on the boat?
Up to 12 guests per boat, on the half-day tour, private tours and transfers alike.
02
Half-day island tour
How long is the half-day boat tour and when does it start?
About 5 hours. Choose a morning departure (09:00, back around 14:00) or an afternoon departure (14:30, back around 19:30) from Trogir.
Which islands does the half-day tour visit?
Three spots in one trip: the Blue Lagoon bay off Drvenik, the harbour village of Maslinica on Šolta, and Labadusa bay on Čiovo — with swimming and snorkelling along the way.
How much does it cost and what's included?
It's €54 (reference price 10 Sept 2026: €60) per person and includes VAT, the boat, fuel, a skipper & hostess, snorkelling masks and welcome refreshments on board (a welcome liqueur, water & biscuits). Food and drinks ashore are extra.
Where does the tour depart from?
From the Trogir Riva — you'll meet your skipper on the waterfront in Trogir's old town.
How many people are on the boat?
A maximum of 12 guests plus crew (skipper & hostess) — a small group on a fast speedboat cruising at 22–25 knots, never a crowded party boat.
Could we see dolphins, and what if the weather is bad?
Dolphin sightings happen sometimes but aren't guaranteed. If conditions aren't safe we reserve the right to cancel and will arrange an alternative time or a refund; please book at least 5 hours ahead.
Is the half-day tour suitable for children?
Yes. The swim stops are calm and shallow, the hops between them take 20–30 minutes, and life jackets are aboard. Tell us your children's ages when booking so the crew can plan the stops and the pace around them.
What should I bring on the boat tour?
Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses, and cash or a card for lunch in Maslinica. Snorkelling masks, water and biscuits are on board. Water shoes help on the pebbly beaches, and a light jacket is useful on the afternoon return.
Do you pick up from Čiovo, Okrug or Split?
The half-day tour boards on the Trogir Riva, with pickups in Medena and Jadran and Okrug at the times listed above. There is no pickup in Split — bus 37 or a taxi reaches Trogir in about 25 minutes. The private half-day boat tour can collect you in Split.
Morning or afternoon tour — which is better?
The 09:00 departure has the calmest sea and reaches the Blue Lagoon before most boats from Split. The 14:30 departure has warmer water and returns to Trogir around sunset. Both run the same route with the same three stops.
Is the Blue Lagoon crowded?
In July and August it is busiest around midday. Our morning tour is anchored there by about 09:30, before the day boats from Split arrive; in May, June, September and October you often share it with only a few boats.
What happens if the sea is rough?
The skipper decides on the morning of the tour. If conditions are unsafe we cancel and you choose another date or a full refund of everything paid, including the deposit. The route runs in sheltered water, so most windy days still go ahead.
Can I book on the same day?
Yes, while seats remain — book online with instant confirmation up to five hours before departure, or message us on WhatsApp for a last-minute seat. In July and August the morning tour often sells out a day or two ahead.
Is lunch included, and where do we eat?
Lunch is not included. The tour stops in Maslinica on Šolta for about ninety minutes, where the harbour konobas and cafés serve grilled fish, pasta and pizza. Most take card and cash. Welcome drinks, water and biscuits are on board.
Will I get seasick on a speedboat?
Rarely on this route: the crossings are short, mostly in sheltered water, and the boat is at anchor for much of the tour. If you are sensitive, take the calmer 09:00 departure, sit towards the back, watch the horizon and take a tablet an hour before.
03
Taxi-boat transfers
How much does a taxi-boat transfer cost?
Mainland transfers (Trogir, Čiovo, the airport) start from €150 (reference price 10 Sept 2026: €150) and island transfers from €200 (reference price 10 Sept 2026: €200), up to around €500 (reference price 10 Sept 2026: €500) for Bol. Prices are per boat for up to 12 guests; the exact price is confirmed on inquiry.
Is the transfer price per person or per boat?
Per boat — one flat price covers the whole speedboat for up to 12 guests.
Do you run transfers at night and 24/7?
Yes, on request. Departures between 22:00 and 06:00 carry a small night surcharge.
Can you collect us from our hotel or villa?
Usually yes, anywhere reachable by boat in the area. Pickups more than 3 nautical miles off the route may add a small charge.
Still have a question?
We’re a small local team and reply personally — usually within a few hours.
