  Two days with Captain Ante

  Hidden Blue Caves, Hvar & Pakleni on July 6, 2026 • 7 adults

  We had four days on our families first trip to Split. Figured day one would be Kraka, day two a boat day and then two free days to follow. Booked Captain Ante based off his reviews on Boat Booker. What an amazing day. Ante and his mate Nicholas picked us up at the main dock and off we went on our adventure. We fished for snapper, swam in blue caves with no lines or people, went cliff jumping, wine tasting and island hopping. These guys were easy going and really made this a day we will never forget...until the next time...two days later! We were lucky that Ante had a free day two days later so we booked him again. This time for Bluefin Tuna fishing. Met at the dock at 4:30 and the boys were ready. A quick stop to catch some snappers and then out through the islands. The crew worked hard chumming, changing depths and gear, but we just could not get them to bite. Finally...we heard the slight ticking of the reel and the game was on. A nearby boat delivered beers and sang "tuna, tuna, tuna" as the battle raged on. Almost three hours later we had our first bucket list Bluefin Tuna! Thank you Captain Ante and Nico for taking great care of my family. You always have a place in Atlanta! I give my highest recommendation for booking at least one full day with Ante!

  Wonderful 30th & 60th birthday celebration

  Blue Lagoon, Secret Bay & Trogir PM on July 1, 2026 • 6 adults

  Here’s a polished, natural-sounding review: We had an amazing day on this boat trip and couldn’t recommend it more! The stops were all fantastic – we had plenty of opportunities to dive off the boat and swim in beautiful, crystal-clear waters surrounded by lots of fish, which made for some great snorkelling. The boat itself was beautiful, with plenty of space to relax at both the front and back. One of our favourite touches was being able to connect our own music via Bluetooth, which made the day even more enjoyable. There were plenty of beers and bottled water provided, and the crew were happy for us to bring the soft drinks we wanted as well, which was a nice touch. The Blue Lagoon was absolutely stunning. We had time to paddle board, snorkel and simply enjoy the incredible scenery. Our stop in Trogir was also perfect – just the right amount of time to have lunch and explore the beautiful old town without feeling rushed. To top it all off, we accidentally left one of our bags on the boat. The team kindly called us and even met us in Split to return it, which we really appreciated. Their customer service was exceptional. Overall, it was a brilliant experience from start to finish, and we’d absolutely recommend this trip to anyone visiting the area!

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolute Perfection – Best Way to Celebrate a 30th Birthday!

  Hidden Blue Caves, Hvar & Pakleni on May 17, 2026 • 8 adults

  We booked a boat tour with Captain Ante for a group of 8 to celebrate my husband’s 30th birthday, and honestly, the trip could not have been better! The weather was incredibly windy and unpredictable, which could have easily ruined the day, but Captain Ante is an absolute professional. He redesigned our route to keep us safe and comfortable, ensuring we didn't miss out on an ounce of fun. The vibes on board were immaculate—we had banging music playing all day and an amazing mix of activities. We got to go snorkeling, fishing, and even did some bird watching. To top it all off, Captain Ante made us a fresh, absolutely delicious tuna carpaccio right on the boat that was to die for. If you are in Split and looking for an unforgettable boat tour, book this immediately. Thank you, Ante, for making this milestone birthday so special!

  Amazing day on the water

  Blue Lagoon, Secret Cave & Trogir on September 8, 2025 • 10 adults

  I wouldn't hesitate to book again with Ante, and if we had had more time we would have. As soon as I had booked Ante was in contact answering all my questions. The boat is really lovely, there were 8 of us and there was plenty of room. We had music, drinks and delicious watermelon all provided. Ante accommodated all our requests - we visited Trogir first and then had a few hours to swim, snorkel, use the paddleboards or just relax in the sun on the front of the boat. We went to the Blue Lagoon and then to a small beach where there was no-one else so had the beach and sea to ourselves. Ante and his brother were polite, charming and courteous, you won't be disappointed if you book with them.

  Good boat and friendly captain

  10 Hr – Blue Cave/Dalmatian Islands on May 9, 2026 • 8 adults

  Our boat trip was amazing and the captain was very friendly and informative throughout the day, sharing stories and information about the islands and local area. He also surprised us with fresh bluefin tuna carpaccio using tuna he caught himself, very delicious. The boat was also very clean and comfortable throughout the trip. Highly recommend if you are looking for a private island boat tour in Split, wonderful experience!
