A private boat tour allows you to explore the island at your own pace while swimming in secluded coves, discovering traditional Dalmatian settlements and enjoying spectacular views of the Adriatic Sea.

Situated west of Split, Šolta is one of the closest inhabited islands in Dalmatia. Despite its proximity to the city, the island has preserved its traditional character, offering visitors an authentic glimpse into Mediterranean life.

Šolta is known for its peaceful bays, crystal-clear sea, olive groves, vineyards and picturesque coastal villages. Unlike some of Croatia's busier island destinations, Šolta remains relaxed and less crowded, making it ideal for private boat excursions.

The island is also famous for its high-quality olive oil, local wines and traditional fishing heritage that has shaped life on the island for centuries.

After meeting your skipper in Split, you'll board a modern speedboat and cruise across the Adriatic toward Šolta Island. The journey itself offers beautiful views of the Dalmatian coastline, nearby islands and hidden coves before reaching some of Šolta's most beautiful locations.

Nečujam Bay and the sunken ship

One of the most popular stops on Šolta is Nečujam, a beautiful bay known for its calm turquoise waters and excellent snorkeling conditions.

The bay is particularly famous for the remains of a sunken ship resting beneath the surface. The clear water allows visitors to observe the wreck while swimming or snorkeling, making it one of the island's most unique attractions. Protected from strong winds, Nečujam is also an ideal location for relaxing and swimming.

Maslinica

Located on the western coast of Šolta, Maslinica is widely considered the island's most picturesque village.

Surrounded by small islets and crystal-clear sea, this charming settlement is known for its traditional stone houses, waterfront promenade and relaxed atmosphere. Many visitors enjoy walking through the village, having a coffee by the sea or exploring the beautiful marina before continuing the excursion.

Rogač

Rogač is the main harbor of Šolta and one of the most important settlements on the island.

The bay offers calm waters, beautiful coastal scenery and a perfect introduction to the island's authentic Mediterranean lifestyle. Its waterfront restaurants and peaceful atmosphere make it a popular stop during private boat tours.

Beyond its beautiful coastline, Šolta is known for its rich traditions and local products — award-winning olive oil, local wines, honey produced from Mediterranean herbs, traditional fishing villages and scenic coastal viewpoints.

Taste traditional Šolta cuisine

A visit to Šolta is also an opportunity to experience authentic Dalmatian gastronomy. The island is known for fresh Adriatic seafood, locally produced olive oil, traditional Mediterranean dishes and excellent local wines. Many waterfront restaurants serve freshly caught fish and other regional specialties prepared according to recipes passed down through generations.

For food lovers, Šolta offers a genuine taste of island life away from mass tourism.

Šolta can be visited throughout the boating season, but conditions are especially enjoyable between May and October. Summer brings warm temperatures and ideal swimming conditions, while spring and early autumn offer fewer crowds and a more relaxed atmosphere.

Thanks to its short distance from Split, Šolta remains one of the most accessible and enjoyable island destinations in Dalmatia.
