Romance on the Adriatic
There's something magical about watching the sun sink into the Adriatic Sea from the deck of a private boat. The coastline of Split, with its ancient city walls, dramatic mountains, and scattered islands, provides the perfect backdrop for a romantic evening.
What to Expect on a Sunset Cruise
A typical sunset cruise from Split lasts 2-3 hours, departing late afternoon to catch the golden hour and sunset. As you sail along the coast, you'll see Split's old town from a unique perspective, often with a glass of local wine or champagne in hand.
Best Routes for Romance
Split Coastline & Marjan Hill
Sail past the Riva promenade, around the Marjan peninsula, with views of the pine-covered hills meeting the sea. Perfect for a shorter, intimate cruise.
Ciovo Island Loop
A longer route taking in the island of Ciovo, the historic town of Trogir, and the open sea. More secluded swimming opportunities.
Brac Channel
Heading toward Brac Island offers dramatic views of the mountains on both sides and often the most spectacular sunsets.
