About the experience

Experience the Magic of Šibenik from the Sea

Step aboard for a captivating panoramic boat tour of Šibenik, one of Croatia’s most historically rich coastal cities. This scenic excursion offers a unique perspective of the city, built entirely of stone and renowned for its blend of natural beauty and medieval architecture.

As we glide along the coastline, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of four magnificent fortresses—St. Nicholas, St. Michael, St. John (St. Ivan), and Barone. Each has its own story and stands as a testament to Šibenik’s strategic importance throughout history. St. Nicholas Fortress, dramatically guarding the sea entrance to the city, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, as is the iconic Cathedral of St. James, which proudly dominates the skyline with its distinctive stone dome.

Our journey continues past coastal cliffs and lush greenery, offering picturesque scenes that are perfect for photos and peaceful reflection. We’ll also make a stop at the hidden naval tunnels, once used to shelter military ships during wartime—an intriguing reminder of the region's more recent past.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, nature lover, or simply seeking a relaxing escape on the Adriatic, this tour offers something for everyone. With informative commentary, stunning views, and gentle sea breezes, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the cultural and natural heritage of Šibenik.

Join us and discover why the city of King Petar Krešimir IV is considered a jewel of the Dalmatian coast—seen at its most beautiful from the water

    We had the absolute pleasure of chartering a private boat with Marko during our family trip to Croatia, and it was a highlight of our time in Šibenik. From the very beginning, Marko was incredibly communicative, professional, and accommodating. I reached out last-minute hoping to visit our family’s island of Prvić, and he was able to confirm the charter for the very next day. Marko speaks good English, which made things easy, and he was also quick to respond and flexible in using Google Translate during booking. He even brought his son along to help with docking and boarding, which made the whole experience smooth and safe — and his son was so kind and sweet. What really set the day apart were the thoughtful touches: Marko gave us excellent recommendations along the way and surprised our group of 8 with a beautifully prepared charcuterie board. It was such a personal and generous gesture that made the trip feel even more special. If you are in the Šibenik area and looking for a private, professional, and unforgettable charter experience, I can’t recommend Marko enough. He made our day on the water seamless and truly memorable!
