Detailed itinerary

Start the trip aboard a comfortable speed boat.

Bol, located on the sunny southern side of the island of Brač, offers something for everyone. The locals are proud of their gastronomic heritage and exquisite wine selection, made possible by the fertile island land that produces some of the finest food and wines in Dalmatia.

Bol’s charm has attracted visitors since ancient times, once voted the most desirable destination for the Croatian jet set, and today even hosting a WTA tennis tournament. Few guests remain indifferent to the town’s hospitality, authenticity, and scenic beauty.

After exploring Bol, it’s time to enjoy the crystal-clear waters of the Golden Horn, just 2 kilometers from the town. Our skipper will guide you for a refreshing swim, and you can choose to stroll to the beach or reach it by boat — the choice is yours!

Stop 3

The photo that captured the world and became an iconic symbol of Croatian tourism is undoubtedly of Zlatni Rat — the Golden Horn Beach. This stunning pebble beach was formed by the deposition of golden stones around an underwater reef and stretches about 500 meters into the Adriatic Sea.

The shape of the beach is constantly changing, influenced by the currents, waves, and winds, making every visit unique. Here, you can swim in the crystal-clear waters, bask in the sun, and experience one of the most photogenic beaches in the world — a true paradise for both relaxation and unforgettable photos.
