Split · SPLIT SUNSET CRUISES
The sun goes down behind Marjan and the islands, and you get a better view from the water than from the riva. These 15 range from party boats to quiet sails. Each one is priced, and we say which serve dinner.
Join Sundown Sessions for a five-hour boat party from Split to the Blue Lagoon, with live DJs, musicians, games, a swim stop, sunset views, two free shots, and a photographer. Check in at Academia Club Ghetto from 1:30 PM. Hosts have included Joanna, Eva, Landyn, Gabi, and Kat, though the crew varies by departure.
“Amazing experience, the bartender is very nice and kind”
Take a 2.5-hour evening bus and walking tour from Split to Klis Fortress. Your ticket, English-speaking guide, and multilingual audio guide are included. Explore the fortress, hear about its past and Game of Thrones connection, then enjoy views of Split and nearby islands in the sunset light. The sun may set behind the mountains rather than in view.
“Very informative. The guide was very well versed with the history and facts and gave constant direction to the place.”
Sail from Split Port past Marjan Forest Park toward Čiovo Island, with views back to the old town and a sunset stop where swimming may be possible. A captain and English-speaking crew host the 90-minute cruise, with a complimentary drink and music on board. Nana, Anja, and Marco are among the hosts named by past passengers.
“we had the best host, Nana, who made the whole thing such a fun and great experience! she took great pictures of my girlfriend and I and was overall very attentive and sweet!!! the cruise was very fun even though it was a bit too cold to swim unfortunately :( still an overall totally great experience”
Set sail from Split’s Riva for a two-hour sunset cruise aboard the Polaris. You’ll pass Marjan Hill, Kaštela Bay, marinas, Hajduk’s stadium, and city beaches, with live music on the open deck and unlimited sparkling wine, wine, beer, and soft drinks. Food is not included, so plan ahead if you’ll want a snack.
“Great trip. Free flowing wine… great live music…. Lovely staff…. Well worth it….”
Board the yacht Polaris beside Split’s Riva promenade for a panoramic cruise along the Split Riviera. Expect about two hours on the water, live music, and unlimited sparkling wine, wine, beer, and soft drinks. There are no food or shore stops, so eat beforehand and bring a light jacket for the cooler ride back.
“In a word, SPECTACULAR! Beautiful boat w/comfortable seating inside and out. Open bar w/ wines and beer (no limit). Excellent trio entertained with songs from Beatles to Adele. Recommend you uber to the dock location. You can combine dinner, shopping and cruise at this one location and easily spend several hours before the cruise. Bring a sweater! This was our final night in Croatia and I can think of a better goodbye than being on the sea with music, drinks and a spectacular sunset.”
Set out from Split’s Obala Lazareta for a 90-minute coastal cruise past Diocletian’s Palace, Marjan and the Čiovo area. Your English-speaking captain and crew provide soft drinks, water and a complimentary glass of champagne. Sunset views, music and a relaxed social atmosphere are part of the plan; the route can change with the weather.
“This is the best sunset cruise of them all! We looked at many reviews and are so glad we picked this one. On this boat, they take you further out to watch the sunset. We were literally in front of the other sunset cruise boats. We also had such an amazing time on board! Nana checked in on us multiple times to see if we needed anything and to make sure everyone was having a good time. She interacted and sat with many groups to talk and laugh. They also provided wine and other drinks.”
Meet your English- or Croatian-speaking guide at Bene Beach for a 3.5-hour paddle around the Marjan peninsula. You’ll get beginner-friendly instruction, coastal views, a swim and snorkel stop, and photos taken by your guide. Guides such as Marin, Lovre, Sven, and Simon have led outings, though your guide will depend on the date.
“Such an amazing day out guided by Sven! Great chats, kayaking, beach vibes and swimming topped off with wine and laughs. Would definitely do this again, and can’t recommend Sven enough as a tour guide!”
Set out from Bene beach with an English-speaking guide for about three and a half hours on the water. You’ll paddle a double sit-on-top kayak, stop to swim or snorkel, and may cliff jump if conditions allow. Gear and guide-taken photos are included. Expect a real workout, sunset views, and a return to the start point.
“The tour guides were great, the kayaking was a lot of fun and the sunset was beautiful. He tour was quite tiring but we did stop for small breaks to ease the exercise. Sadly the wind was too strong so we did not end up doing cliff jumping hence the one star taken off. Definitely worth the money though.”
Leave Hvar’s Riva 27 in late afternoon for a two-hour sail toward the Pakleni Islands, returning after sunset. The yacht holds up to eight, with shared trips often smaller; you can also book privately. Skippers such as Victor, Petar, and Alexander have shared sailing tips, local insights, and help with photos. Bring your own drinks and snacks.
“They did everything they could to accommodate us, we unfortunately couldn’t make it in the specific day, but the guys were very helpful and understanding Well done all & good luck for the future”
Take a 150-minute guided kayak outing from Split to Stobreč, where you paddle a calm river before heading out along the Adriatic coast. The route covers about 4 kilometers and may include time to swim, walk or try a cliff jump. A local guide provides basic instruction, gear, photos and round-trip transport. Guides have included Luka, Peter, Frane and Paula.
“The sunset kayak tour was fun! Paula was our guide and she was funny and personable. Being on the water and seeing the beautiful ocean after a long day of sightseeing was a great way to end the day!”
Set out from Postira at 4:30 pm for an approximately three-hour guided paddle west along Brac’s coast. Your guide covers equipment and sea safety before you pass pine woods, olive groves, stone walls, beaches, and rocky bays. Snorkeling equipment is provided. Anya has guided at least one outing, but the guide may vary.
“Deep blue sea, sandy beach and standing in the Basilica from the 5th century. Friendly tour guide Anya.”
Spend about two hours aboard a modern 36-foot sail yacht, leaving Hvar’s harbour to sail past the Pakleni Islands as the sun drops into the sea. A professional skipper handles the boat and shares the evening with your group. Bring your own drinks and snacks; there’s a fridge and toilet on board. Skippers have included Victor, Petar, Peter, and Alexander, but your captain may differ.
“Excellent experience! They communicated great so that we could locate the sailboat in the harbor. The sunset views were unreal, it was really peaceful and being able to bring your own wine/snacks was extra nice.”
Leave Makarska by speedboat for Puntica Bay on Brač, where you get 40 minutes to swim in clear water and enjoy the coastal views. Snorkeling gear, skipper and fuel are included. The return ride takes you past Makarska as the sun sets. Plan for about 90 minutes total.
“We loved getting out onto the sea and seeing Makarska from the water. Stunning views. We enjoyed the swim in the pristine clear waters in a bay on Brac Island. Our skipper Carlos?? was friendly, funny and timed the sunset perfectly. This was not a history tour, but Carlos was knowledgeable when asked questions. Would highly recommended if you have limited time and just want to get out onto the water.”
Join Adriatic Adventure for a roughly two-hour kayak trip from Stobreč, about 5 km from Split. Paddle from a river into a calm bay and out along the coast as evening light warms the sea and cliffs. Guides including Luka, Thomas and Lucas have been praised for their friendly approach. Swimming and rock jumping are optional.
“thank you for such a great experience! beautiful views and even saw fishies in the river! Luka was a great guide :)”
From Makarska, skipper Tina or another English- or Croatian-speaking skipper takes a small group of up to 12 by speedboat to Puntica Bay on Brač. You get 40 minutes to swim or snorkel, beach swings to look for, and a sunset view of Makarska on the return. Bring swimwear, a towel, and any food or drinks you want.
“Sunset tour was really good, went with three teenage boys that all had a great time. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Beautiful swimming spot, great sunset on the way back and bonus of seeing dolphins!”
Choose a boat, a canyon or a cellar.
