Split’s islands feel close.

This private VIP speedboat day packs UNESCO Trogir, the Blue Lagoon / Krknjasi Bay, and island beach time into one plan you can shape around your crew. I love how the day is built for water time (swimming plus snorkeling), not just looking from the boat. I also like the human touch from the hosts, with Maria (often mentioned in reviews) guiding you clearly and keeping the mood friendly with smart answers. One thing to consider: it depends on good weather, so you’ll want a flexible mindset if sea conditions change.

You’ll also spend real time on the islands and at classic coastal stops, like Camp Labadusa and Maslinica, where the vibe is about beaches and food. The route is structured with about one hour per main stop, which usually keeps the day moving without feeling rushed. The drawback is simple: a “private boat” day can mean you pay a premium, so it’s best when your group size and interests line up.

Key Highlights You’ll Care About

• Private speedboat day with only your group on board, plus the freedom to customize where you stop
• Blue Lagoon time built around swimming and snorkeling, with snorkeling equipment included
• UNESCO Trogir as a quick but worthwhile sightseeing break before the sea days take over
• Solta island stops including Necujam, where you can snorkel and explore a shipwreck bay
• Optional wine or lunch options (alcohol and lunch aren’t included, so plan ahead)

Why this private Blue Lagoon and 3 Islands route works from Split

From Split, this kind of outing makes sense because it trades long bus rides for a focused boat day. You start at Split Riva 21.000 (the main waterfront area by the water), and you end back at the same meeting point. That simple start-and-finish matters when you want the day to feel easy instead of chaotic.

The “VIP” part here is really about pace and control. You’re not sharing the boat with strangers, and the itinerary is flexible enough to include the spots you care about most. The plan is also practical: the stops are positioned to stack together—coastal beach breaks, one island-focused stretch, and a UNESCO town hop.

Most reviews tied to this tour highlight how the crew keeps things organized and safe, and how the boat ride feels quick and smooth. If you’re the type who likes a day with structure (but not a rigid one), this fits.

Your stops: Camp Labadusa, UNESCO Trogir, Krknjasi Bay Blue Lagoon

This day starts with Camp Labadusa, a popular summer meeting point by the water. You get about an hour here—enough time to settle in, sip something if you want (not included), and most importantly: get your swim on while the energy is easy and social. If you enjoy beach-bar vibes, this is a good first landing.

Then you head to Trogir, a UNESCO-protected town. You’ll have about an hour for sightseeing or a quick coffee break. One hour in a historic center can feel tight, but it’s often the sweet spot for getting your bearings, walking the old-town streets, and snapping photos without turning the day into a museum marathon.

After that, it’s the main event: the Blue Lagoon / Krknjasi Bay stop. This is where you’ll spend about an hour swimming and sunbathing, and where snorkeling equipment comes into play. The way the tour is built, you’re not only “arriving” at the lagoon—you’re given actual water time. That’s what makes this stop worth the premium you’re paying for.

A couple review details support what you’ll likely feel: the boat experience is described as fast and safe, and the sea conditions during a good day make swimming feel effortless. If you can travel in better weather windows, that’s when the lagoon portion really lands.

A quick reality check on the “Blue Lagoon” expectation

Blue Lagoon destinations can draw big crowds, especially in high season. This tour’s advantage is that you’re on a private boat with your group and a set time block that’s designed for active swimming, not long lines. Still, if you’re expecting a totally empty shoreline, you might find it’s more “relaxed beach day” than “private paradise.”

Maslinica and Solta’s Necujam: marina food stops and a shipwreck bay

After the lagoon, you move to Maslinica, known for its marina and food scene. The stop is about an hour, which usually works best for a lunch decision or a shoreline walk. Maslinica is also described as a place with recognizable hospitality spots, so it’s a solid “reset” stop before you shift deeper into island water time.

Then the tour focuses on Šolta with the Necujam area. You’ll get about an hour here, and this is one of the more adventure-leaning stops. The plan includes the chance to visit the shipwreck bay and snorkel around an old sunken ship. That’s the kind of detail that makes a boat day feel more than just scenic hopping—you’re doing something in the water that’s a bit different from a standard swim.

Necujam is also framed as a charming town atmosphere on Šolta, so you’re not only underwater. If you’re into exploring at a slower pace, you can split your hour between water time and a calm look around the shoreline area.

In reviews, the crew gets credit for being helpful and attentive, and some mention that the captain and staff were polite with good English. That matters here because snorkeling spots can be intimidating if you’re not sure what to do. When the crew explains what’s safe and where to go, you can spend more time enjoying and less time guessing.

Solta plus the Siovo note

The tour description says you’ll visit islands including Solta and Siovo. Your listed stops explicitly show Solta via Necujam, and the rest of the day includes other coastal points. So while you can expect Solta time for sure, the exact Siovo emphasis may depend on how the captain maps your day based on weather and conditions.

Snorkeling gear, water time, and what to bring

Snorkeling gear is included, along with bottled water. That’s a real value point because it removes the hassle of renting or tracking gear down in Split. If you’ve ever tried to snorkel with questionable equipment, you already know why this matters.

The tour structure also helps you plan your energy. You have multiple one-hour anchors, but only one major stretch that’s primarily about swimming and snorkeling—so you can pace yourself and not burn out early. If you’re not a confident swimmer, focus on the parts of the stop where you feel comfortable and ask the crew where the best and safest entry points are.

What you should bring (based on what the day requires, not guesswork):

• Swimwear and a dry layer for after the boat ride
• Sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses
• A waterproof phone pouch if you have one
• If you snorkel often: your own mask can fit you better, though gear is provided

In reviews, good sea conditions are tied to a more enjoyable swim. Even with included gear, bright sun and wind can change how comfortable you feel. Plan for that.

Price and value: what you really pay for in a private boat day

Let’s talk money honestly. The listed price is $2,074.31 per person, and the time window is about 4 to 8 hours depending on how the day runs. That is high for most travelers, and it should be. You’re paying for a private speedboat setup, included snorkeling gear, bottled water, and a route that strings together multiple high-demand places around Split.

So where’s the value if the price is steep?

1) You’re buying time and access, not just sightseeing.

The Blue Lagoon stop isn’t a drive-by; it’s a swim slot. Necujam is also positioned for snorkeling around a shipwreck bay, which takes more coordination than a simple beach walk.

2) You’re buying safety and pace with a crew that runs the day smoothly.

Reviews describe a fast, safe boat and staff who manage the flow well. That kind of operational confidence is worth something when you’re on open water.

3) You’re buying control for your group.

Private tour style means fewer compromises. If your group wants more beach time and less town time, you’re likely to adjust the balance.

There’s one interesting note from the reviews: one person called it a great afternoon for less than 50 euros, and another said excellent price and worth every cent. Those comments conflict with the listed per-person rate, which suggests the pricing someone experienced might have been different due to group size, package details, or date/offer variation. Either way, the theme is consistent: people felt it was good value relative to the experience level.

Bottom line: if you’re traveling with a group large enough that the “private boat” cost spreads out, this starts looking more reasonable. If you’re a solo traveler or a couple paying full private rate, you’ll want to be sure you truly want a boat day that’s this structured and water-focused.

Who this tour suits (and who might want a simpler day)

This fits best if you want a “do it all” day without juggling ferries, rentals, or public transportation. The tour is also private, so it’s ideal if you want your own pace. The “most travelers can participate” line suggests it’s not a niche activity, but the key condition is weather.

You’ll also enjoy this most if you’re the type who likes variety in a single outing:

• one town stop (UNESCO Trogir)
• one big swim-and-lounge stop (Blue Lagoon / Krknjasi Bay)
• one island water adventure stop (Necujam with shipwreck bay snorkeling)
• one food/marina coastal stop (Maslinica)

If you hate boats, or you want a slow walking day with long stops, you might feel the time blocks are too tight. Each stop is about an hour, so you won’t get a half-day in any single place.

Should you book this private tour or not?

I’d book this if you’re planning a Split trip and you want the islands to feel like your personal playground. The combination of private speedboat, included snorkeling equipment, and meaningful time at the Blue Lagoon plus Necujam shipwreck bay is exactly the kind of day that can turn into your favorite memory.

I wouldn’t book it if your budget is strict or if your group is more into land-only exploring. This is a water-first itinerary, and the whole day quality depends on sea conditions. If you’re traveling around rough weather windows, you’ll want flexibility.

If you do book, do it with a clear mindset: pack for sun and swimming, plan for one-hour stop rhythm, and decide in advance whether you want the option of Croatian wine tasting or a lunch at a local spot. Also, give the crew a chance to guide you—reviews consistently mention Maria and the hosts as helpful, informative, and organized.
