The top activity is a private cruise to the Blue Lagoon (Drvenik Veli) to beat the large tour groups. Other highlights include snorkeling at the Nečujam shipwreck on Šolta, visiting the famous Golden Horn (Zlatni Rat) beach on Brač, and enjoying a sunset dinner cruise along the Split city skyline.
The primary hub for boat departures is Marina Lav, located within the Le Méridien Lav Hotel complex. It is a 5-star marina offering luxury facilities, easy parking, and immediate access to the Brac Channel, making it the most convenient starting point for high-end charters.
The waters between Podstrana and the islands are a busy corridor for high-speed ferries and commercial traffic. A professional captain (costing roughly €185 per day) manages the navigation and docking in busy ports like Milna, allowing you to relax while they guide you to the quietest coves on Brač.
Yes! A high-performance motor yacht from Marina Lav can reach Hvar Town in approximately 60 to 75 minutes. This gives you plenty of time to explore the Pakleni Islands and have lunch at a seaside restaurant before heading back to the mainland by sunset.
Many premium captained listings on Sailo in Podstrana offer all-inclusive catering. You can often enjoy a Dalmatian-style lunch prepared on board with local wine and fresh seafood. For standard rentals, it is often BYOB, but there are excellent supermarkets near Hotel Le Méridien Lav for provisioning.
For standard sightseeing tours or 2-to-4-hour sunset cruises, fuel is often included. However, for full-day island-hopping itineraries to Vis or Hvar, fuel is typically charged based on consumption at the end of the trip. Always check the 'Price Includes' section for the 2026 policy.
Standard sailboats and catamarans on Sailo usually accommodate 8 to 12 guests. For larger events, such as a corporate retreat or wedding party, you can find luxury event yachts and large motor-sailers in Podstrana licensed to carry up to 48 passengers.
The sailing season runs from May to October. For the ultimate experience, we recommend June or September, when the Adriatic is warm (24°C) and the Maestral winds are gentle. If you want the peak summer heat for swimming at Punta Beach, July and August are the busiest months.
Safety is the priority in Dalmatia. If the Croatian Port Authority issues a warning for the Bura (North wind) or Jugo (South wind), your Sailo host will work with you to reschedule or provide a full refund. Your captain will always offer the safest route, such as sticking to the sheltered bays of Čiovo if the open sea is too choppy.
