1758 boat rentals in Omiš, Croatia

In 2026, daily rates in Omiš are quite versatile: Motorboats (RIBs) average €250–€550; Sailboats range from €300 to €850; Catamarans start at €600–€1,600; and Traditional Wooden Ships (Gulets) for large groups typically start at €1,200 to €4,500+ per day including a professional captain and crew.

Omiš offers a dual experience: you can cruise inland through the towering cliffs of the Cetina River Canyon to reach the Radmanove Mlinice park, or head out to sea to explore the Vruja Bay (a natural sea spring) and the famous Golden Horn (Zlatni Rat) beach on the island of Brač.

The meeting point of the river and the sea creates unique currents, and the coastline is peppered with hidden rocks. A local captain handles these technicalities and understands the 'Bura' winds that can roll off the Mosor mountains, allowing you to relax while they navigate to 'secret' caves like the ones in Marušići.

Most charters depart from the Luka Omiš (Main Port) or the piers located right at the mouth of the Cetina River. Some smaller boats also offer pickups from the sandy beaches of Duće or the nearby village of Nemira, which are just a few minutes from the town center.

Yes! Omiš is one of the best departure points for Brač. A high-speed motorboat can reach the charming village of Postira or the Lovrečina Bay (famous for its sandy seafloor and Roman ruins) in just 20 to 30 minutes. A full-day trip to Bol takes about 1 hour each way.

Many premium Sailo listings in Omiš offer all-inclusive packages, particularly on traditional wooden vessels. You can often expect a Dalmatian lunch featuring grilled fish or meat, accompanied by local Brač wines and raki. Smaller RIB rentals are usually BYOB, with ice chests provided upon request.

For standard river tours or half-day cruises along the local coastline, fuel is frequently included. For longer itineraries to the islands or the Blue Cave, fuel is typically calculated based on consumption at the end of the day. Always check the 'Price Includes' section for the specific listing's 2026 policy.

Standard sailboats and motor yachts generally accommodate 8 to 12 guests. However, Omiš is famous for its larger excursion ships and Gulets that can be chartered privately for weddings or corporate retreats, with some licensed to carry up to 40 or even 100 passengers.

The sailing season runs from May to October. For the best experience, we recommend June or September, when the weather is warm (25°C) and the river canyon is lush and green. July and August are the hottest months, perfect for swimming in the cool waters of Vruja Bay.

Safety is the priority. If the Port Authority issues a warning for strong winds, your Sailo host will work with you to reschedule or provide a full refund. Interestingly, even if the sea is choppy, your captain might still be able to offer a sheltered tour of the Cetina River Canyon where the water remains calm.
