BOAT TRIPS

Half Day Tours

A perfect half-day escape — explore the best of the Dalmatian coast, back in time for your afternoon.

A shorter trip or a full day at sea?

Half-day boat trips suit visitors who want time for swimming and islands close to Zadar, with time left for the city. Compare the 4 Jewels programme, the speedboat trip and sailing: their boats, stops and participation requirements differ.

For distant Dugi Otok highlights or Kornati, compare full-day trips instead. Check your selected departure, total duration, meeting point and included refreshments or equipment. Pack swimwear, a towel and sun protection, and read the tour-specific conditions before booking.

Questions to help you choose your trip

What is the difference between sailing and a speedboat trip?

The San Luca sailing trip focuses on time aboard a sailing boat, an island village and a swimming stop. A speedboat trip follows a different route with its own swimming and exploration stops. Compare the actual programmes, not just the duration, to choose the experience you prefer.

Can I visit Kornati on these half-day trips?

These offers explore islands near Zadar. They are different from the full-day Kornati and Telašćica cruise or the combined Dugi Otok and Kornati trip. If Kornati, Sakarun or Golubinka is your main goal, compare the relevant full-day programme before booking.

Are all departures and meeting points the same?

No. Sailing and speedboat offers have different schedules and meeting points. Select the departure shown for your travel date and allow time to reach the exact location. A morning departure can leave the afternoon free, while an afternoon trip may affect your evening plans.

How do I choose a trip for children or a mixed group?

Read the participation requirements on the individual tour page before selecting seats. Age limits and suitability vary by boat and activity. Tell us about your group if you need help choosing; a similar duration does not mean the same conditions or experience on every vessel.
