Speedboat Tours and Transfers

Ante Lacman, managing director and co-founder of Hvar Tours DMC, has been working in the travel industry for donkeys' years. Ante works with flair and imagination, taking on an extraordinary range of challenging projects, including organizing weddings, sometimes with surprising results, and themed celebrations.

The tours by sea reflect Ante's expansive vision, attention to detail, and determination to offer his clients the best experience possible. He and his team have a flexible approach and a large fleet of boats at their disposal, so there is an enviable choice of boats available for transfers and tours, all inclusive of skipper and refreshments, with prices varying according to travel time and time of season. Of course, people with the appropriate seafaring qualifications are also catered for.

Trips and Tours: Brač, Kornati, Vis, Korčula, Dubrovnik

Destinations include the island of Vis, Korčula and Brač (the resort of Bol), right down to Dubrovnik.

Tourists with a little more time can choose from an impressive selection of speedboats tours, including the unmissable Pakleni Islands, the string of tiny islands opposite Hvar Town and arguably the prettiest in all Croatia.

Tours further afield include the island of Vis and the Blue Cave at Biševo, the island of Brač and its renowned shifting beach of Zlatni Rat, the island of Korčula, birthplace of Marco Polo, and a mainland tour, taking in Diocletian's Palace in Split, the seven castled villages of Kaštela and a hearty lunch in Trogir. Tours of Dubrovnik and the Kornati Islands are also available.

Water Sport Accessories

While speedboat transfers are beyond the means of the majority of tourists to Hvar, the good news is that there is also a range of more affordable water sport options, including wakeboarding, water-skiing, banana rides, paddle-boats, canoes and water hammocks.

All tours and equipment hire may be conveniently organized from four booking points: outside Carpe Diem, by the Hotel Amfora, at the dock in front of the Amfora, and in front of the Arsenal by the main square.
