The Vis Island tour allows around an hour in Vis Town, which is enough time to stroll around the town, grab a gelato or coffee, and digest your lunch. We are flexible if the group wants to leave a little earlier.
The Hvar & Pakleni Islands tour allows around 1 hour 30 minutes in Hvar Old Town, which is enough time to explore the old town and grab a drink or gelato at the end of the tour. We are flexible if the group wants to stay a little longer or leave earlier.
No, gratuity is not included, and there's absolutely no expectation. If you feel the crew has made your day extra special and you'd like to leave something, it’s always appreciated, but never required.
For safety reasons, we recommend our tours for guests aged 8 and over. We do not recommend tours for pregnant guests or those with serious mobility limitations. The boat is not equipped for wheelchair access or specialised support and weather conditions at sea can be unpredictable.
If you have any health considerations or specific requirements, please mention them in the comment box when you book, or feel free to contact us directly before booking. We’re happy to help clarify anything and ensure the day is right for you.
Your safety comes first, always. If conditions aren't right, your skipper won't take the boat out — that decision is never influenced by whether the tour is booked and paid for.
If we cancel before departure, you'll get a free reschedule or a full refund, whichever you prefer. If weather turns during your tour and we need to head back early, we'll offer you a free reschedule so you can enjoy the full experience another day, or a fair refund based on how much of the tour we delivered. If we had to turn back before reaching your main destination, that refund is substantial.
A private boat transfer offers a seamless and exclusive way to travel between coastal destinations. Simply choose your departure and arrival points, and our skipper will handle the rest. Enjoy a direct, comfortable journey with stunning views of the Adriatic, avoiding crowded ferries and long waits.
Yes! Our boats have ample storage for luggage, including suitcases and carry-ons. If you have oversized items, such as sports equipment or strollers, please let us know in advance so we can ensure the best setup for your comfort.
At Island Discovery safety is our top priority. If the weather conditions are unsafe for travel, we will notify you as soon as possible and offer alternative arrangements, including rescheduling or switching to a land transfer if necessary.
