What To Expect

Speed Boat Zadar
We’ll take you on a scenic ride through the Zadar channel and in between the islands of Ugljan and Pašman towards Dugi otok. Once we get to Dugi otok, we’ll have a quick break, just to get you accustomed to the slow pace of life on Croatian islands. We can have an ice cream, coffee or a cold drink before we proceed towards a small island in front of Dugi otok, whose name we choose to keep a secret. Beautiful, small and sandy bay, surrounded by wild nature, is a big secret of the area. Expect no one around, you can camp underneath the olive trees or chill on the boat under the canopy and enjoy the turquoise sea.

Once you had enough of this paradise, we start heading towards our second destination on the island of Iž. On the way towards the island of Iž you’ll see all the beauties of Zadar archipelago from the boat, the scenic ride will uncover islands of Rava, Ugljan, Žut, Sit, before hitting a perfectly secluded bay on Iž island. We’ll enjoy some snorkelling and swimming from the boat, while the music from the sound system overpowers the sound of the crickets from the pine forest surrounding us. We'll visit Mali Iž, which is an exceptional example of traditional croatian island village. You can choose to have luch tehere in a very good, and a very, very local restaurant.

Last, but not the least, is a sandy bay on the uninhabited side of Ugljan Island. Indeed a great place to finish your "three grains of sand tour", shallow water, pristine white sand for some more fun and games in the beautiful little bay. Sit down and unwind in the Olive Gardens, or under the pine trees and soak in the real Adriatic experience before you proceed back to Zadar. This tour lasts a minimum 6 hours and can last more for your enjoyment.

A fantastic day trip!

My group had an amazing time on this tour. Our skipper was knowledgeable and approachable, and went out of his way to make the best of the experience (we were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins!) The ride was comfortable, the chosen locations were stunning and private, and the lunch place that was recommended served amazing food. There was also a lot of flexibility with the schedule which made us all really relaxed and able to enjoy the experience at our own pace. All in all a fantastic day trip, just don't forget your sunscreen :)
Once in a lifetime experience for the whole family!

You haven't seen Croatia until you've seen it from the sea! A cruise through the archipelago coastline is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We choose the "skipper's choice tour" and had a wonderful day with Marko, who was very friendly. We've been to beautiful places apart from the crowed tourist places and we very much enjoyed it. We had a lot of time for swimming, snorkeling, and for exploring the selected small islands. Around lunchtime, Marko took us to an authentic little Croatian restaurant on one of the islands. The food was simple, typical of Croatia and incredibly delicious. Then on the way home Marko spotted dolphins nearby. We had not expected that at all!!! We approached the dolphins very slowly by boat and had plenty of time to watch them. We can fully recommend Speed Boat Zadar. From contact to planning to the turn, everything was very individual to our needs. We were very well taken care of from start to finish. Thank you also to Lisa, who answered all our questions very quickly and patient! The price-performance ratio is fair and fully transparent. We wish Speed Boat Zadar many more great tours with nice guests ;-)! Keep it up!
Great for anyone who loves a bit of privacy and space!

The islands are beautiful. Quick replies on any questions you have about the trip. The skipper was professional and friendly as well. It's great that you get to go on an excursion in your own pace. It's amazing if you want some space to yourself (and your friends.
Best family fun!!

The booking process was quite easy, they answered our many questions in a jiffy and we were good to go in a couple of minutes. The boat tour itself was paced up to our liking, the skipper very reasonable and fun. Went to great places to swim and snorkel, great lunch afterwards! Exceeded our expectations in every sense!
