Detailed itinerary
1
Your tour begins at Makarska Harbour, the heart of the Riviera and one of the most picturesque ports on the Adriatic. As you board the speedboat, enjoy the lively waterfront atmosphere with its cafés, palm-lined promenade, and views of the old town framed by the towering Biokovo mountain. Once we set off, you’ll experience the beauty of leaving Makarska by sea — a stunning panorama of beaches, cliffs, and vibrant coastline opening before you as the speedboat ride begins toward Brač.

Puntica is one of the clearest hidden bays on the island of Brač, known for its turquoise waters and peaceful atmosphere. During your 40-minute stop, you can swim, snorkel, or relax on the small beach with swings, making it a fun spot for both kids and adults. The bay overlooks Makarska across the channel, offering a unique view of the Riviera and the impressive Biokovo mountain rising above the town. This combination of crystal-clear water, playful beach vibes, and scenic panoramas makes Puntica a true Adriatic gem.
3
On the return from Brač, enjoy a 10-minute speedboat panorama of Makarska from the sea. Starting at the western side near Hotel Aminess, the ride takes you along the coastline past beaches and the lively waterfront, all the way back to the harbour. From this unique viewpoint, you’ll see Makarska’s old town, promenade, and the dramatic backdrop of Biokovo mountain rising above the Riviera — a perfect way to finish your tour.
