Crystal water and old streets in one ride. This private speedboat tour brings you to the Blue Lagoon area for a real swim-and-snorkel break, with life jackets and snorkel gear included so you can focus on the water, not the logistics. I also love the contrast of hopping from bright sea time to strolling Trogir’s historic lanes, the kind of UNESCO-protected stonework you can read like a map as you walk.

The main trade-off is time. Your window in Trogir is about 1 hour, so if you want to do every viewpoint and every tiny street, you’ll need to be selective.

Key Things to Know Before You Go

• Private speedboat from Split (up to 12 people), so the pace stays in your group’s control
• 2 hours at Blue Lagoon / Krknjasi Bay for swimming and snorkeling
• Snorkeling equipment, life jackets, insurance, fuel, and a skipper included
• About 1 hour of free time in UNESCO Trogir to sightsee on your own
• 45 minutes at Laganini Beach Club for a drink and sea-view downtime

Private Speedboat Timing From Split: What 4–5 Hours Really Means

This is a short, high-impact half day: about 4 to 5 hours total, with the trip centered on two big experiences—time on the water and time on land. Going private matters here because you’re not stuck waiting for other groups to catch up. The boat also gives you access to the coastal mood of the region without turning the day into a long bus-and-wait routine.

The group size cap—up to 12 people—also shapes the feel. You get enough people for a shared experience, but not so many that it turns into a crowd-management exercise. If you’re traveling with friends or family, this is the sweet spot where everyone can stay together but you still have breathing room.

One practical point: since the schedule is tight, you’ll want to show up ready to move. Bring what you’ll need for water time (and plan to change quickly at the stops). If you come unprepared, the day can feel more rushed than it needs to.

Blue Lagoon and Krknjasi Bay Swim Stop: Snorkel Gear and Real Water Conditions

Your first stop is the Blue Lagoon / Krknjasi Bay area, with around 2 hours to swim and snorkel. The best part is that you’re not just passing by—you’re actually given time to get in the water, see what’s under the surface, and decide whether you want active snorkeling or just drift-and-relax.

The tour includes snorkeling equipment and life jackets, plus water on the boat. That’s a big value add because snorkel rentals and safety gear can quietly add up, especially when you’re with a group.

Here’s what I think is worth planning for: shore access can be rocky in this region, and the water-to-shore transition is where shoes matter. Bring water shoes if you have them. It makes getting in and out easier and more comfortable. Also pack a towel for the end of the swim time—drying off matters when you’re heading to the next stop shortly after.

If you’re not a confident swimmer, you still have the life jackets and a shorter window to enjoy the sea without turning it into a whole day commitment. And if you are a strong swimmer, that extra 2-hour chunk gives you room to snorkel, pause, and re-check your comfort level as you go.

Trogir UNESCO Old Town in One Hour: How to Make It Count

After the water, you get about 1 hour in historic Trogir. This is enough time to enjoy the look and feel of the old streets, but not enough time to treat it like a full-day city visit. Think of it as a focused walk: pick a couple of highlights and enjoy the atmosphere between them.

What makes Trogir special for a short visit is that you can move fast without feeling like you’re skipping everything. The old town is designed for wandering, and the streets don’t require museum stamina to appreciate. In an hour, I’d prioritize the streetscape—what the stone and doorways look like, how the lanes open, and how the viewpoints frame the harbor area.

Practical tip: since your free time is limited, wear shoes you can walk in comfortably. The tour day already includes boat transitions and potentially some uneven footing near the water. Your land time should be about enjoying the historic streets, not fighting sore feet.

Also, if your group has different interests—someone wants photos, someone wants the church square vibe, someone just wants quiet café time—you’ll want to agree on a simple plan before you step off the boat. The best use of this stop comes from quick coordination.

Laganini Beach Club Drink Break: Views, Downtime, and Buying Your Own Meal

Your final stop is Laganini Beach Club for about 45 minutes. The point of this stop is pure slowdown: a drink, a sea-view pause, and a chance to reset before heading back to Split.

This is also where you should expect the “food situation” to be on your own. The tour doesn’t include lunch, and your time here is short. Still, you might find food and shopping options available at the beach club itself, so it’s a reasonable moment to grab something light if that’s your plan.

A couple of smart decisions here:

• If you want lunch, don’t treat this as a long dining block. Use this time for what fits in 45 minutes.
• If you’re only doing a drink, use the remaining minutes to enjoy the views and let the salt air settle.

Because the stop is brief, I recommend you go with a simple goal: drink and regroup. Anything more ambitious can steal time from the nicest part—relaxing with your group and soaking up the coastal atmosphere.

Included Stuff That Saves Money (and Stress)

Even with a private speedboat, the included items make this tour feel more “all set” than a lot of day trips.

Included highlights:

• Snorkeling equipment
• Life jackets
• Insurance, fuel, and a skipper
• Water on the boat

For a group, these inclusions matter. You’re not hunting for gear, you’re not negotiating safety equipment, and you’re not worrying about whether fuel costs are covered. It’s one less thing to plan around.

What’s not included:

• Lunch

That’s the main budget item to keep in mind. If you’re the type who likes a full meal, plan to purchase it during the beach club stop or arrange something beforehand in Split (depending on your schedule).

If you’re picky about what you drink, bring your own preferences too. While the tour states water is on the boat, some people prefer their favorite bottled drink on hot days.

Value for Money From Split: Price Per Group vs. Price Per Person

The price is $883.17 per group, up to 12 people. That’s the key number to understand, because this isn’t a “per person” scenario—it’s a “fill the boat” scenario.

If you book with a smaller group, the cost per person is higher. If you can fill more seats, the average per person drops quickly, and the private speedboat becomes a very competitive option for a sea-and-culture half day.

Also note that this tour is generally booked well ahead—on average 49 days in advance. That usually means it’s popular in the season and dates can move fast. If you have firm travel plans, treat it like a real reservation, not a casual add-on.

Who Should Book This Speedboat Tour (and Who Might Want More Time)

This tour is a strong fit if you want:

• A kid-friendly, water-focused outing without committing to a full day
• Friends or family time where you’re together on the boat and together on land
• Both sea time and a historic stroll, but in a format that stays manageable

It’s also ideal for people who like variety: swim/snorkel first, then old town walking, then a beach club pause. You don’t need to be a hardcore snorkeler. The tour is built for different comfort levels, with safety gear included.

Who might hesitate:

• If you dream of a long, detailed Trogir exploration, the 1-hour stop may feel too short. This is a taste, not a full deep exploration.
• If your schedule is tight and weather is questionable, be aware the tour needs good weather. If conditions are poor, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

Should You Book This Private Blue Lagoon and Trogir Speedboat Tour?

I’d book it if you want a clean, practical half day that delivers the big sights without wasting hours. The private speedboat format makes it feel special, and the included snorkeling gear plus life jackets lowers the friction of doing water activities. I also like that you don’t have to choose between a sea swim and a historic old town—this gives you both, with just enough time to enjoy each.

I wouldn’t book it if Trogir is the main event for you. With only about 1 hour there, you’ll need to enjoy the streetscape and keep expectations realistic. For many people, that’s exactly the point. For others, it’ll leave you wanting more—so check your priorities before you lock it in.
