private-full-day
Private Blue Cave Tour from Split, Brač, Trogir and Hvar
Best for: Travelers who want a flexible private day with swimming stops and time to shape the route
This is the most adaptable of the three options. It is a private, full-day boat trip with a route that can be adjusted during the day, so it suits travelers who want to decide how long to stay at each stop. The confirmed highlights include the Blue Cave visit, swimming and snorkeling bays, time in towns such as Komiža and Hvar, and the possibility of extra detours if your skipper agrees. Drinks and snorkeling gear are included, while Blue Cave entrance, lunch, and gratuities are not. It also lists pickup as included.

sunset-cruise
Brač Island Speedboat Cruise with Snorkeling and Sparkling Wine
Best for: Travelers who want a short shared outing with a swim stop and a sunset return
This option is the simplest and shortest way to get out on the water near Brac Island. It follows a more fixed format than the private tours: a brief scenic cruise out to Puntica Bay, free time to swim and snorkel, then a return ride timed for sunset. The confirmed inclusions are snorkeling equipment and a glass of Croatian sparkling wine. It does not list food, drinks beyond the sparkling wine, or restroom facilities on board. For travelers with limited time who still want a swim stop and a relaxed evening atmosphere, this is the most compact choice in the group.

private-luxury-day
Private Luxury Boat tour for 12 from Split, Brac, Trogir, Hvar
Best for: Groups who want a private full-day boat with onboard comfort features and a customizable route
This is the other full-day private choice, but it is more focused on onboard comfort and group convenience. The boat is described as a 12-meter aluminum speedboat with a cabin, toilet, Wi-Fi, a hard top, and sound system details, which makes it appealing for travelers who care about the vessel as much as the route. The itinerary is based on your wishes and desires, so it works well if you want a private day that can lean toward sightseeing, snorkeling, swimming from the boat, or time on the beach. Included items are bottled water and snorkeling masks. Blue Cave entrance, lunch, and fuel are excluded, and pickup is listed as included.
