Set out from Zadar with skipper Tony or Laura for a private four-hour cruise to Ošljak and Ugljan. Swim, snorkel, enjoy the pine and fig-scented air, stop for an optional lunch, and return by boat with views of the coast and islands.

“My family and I were in Zadar for a day in Port on a cruise recently. We booked a half day trip and had an amazing time! We stopped for lunch and two different places to get out and snorkel in the crystal clear water. Toni was extremely accommodating and even had drinks and snacks on board for us. Highly recommend this experience for a relaxing day on the water!”
