Romantic Sunset Cruises
Sunset Cruise from Split, Croatia
A two-to-three-hour boat from Split, timed so you're on the water for the sunset. We sail past Marjan or out toward Šolta, anchor for the sunset, and head back as the city lights come on. We own the boats and we drive them — no rental fleet, no middleman.
Book Sunset CruiseWhy a Sunset Cruise is the #1 Thing to Do in Split
From the Riva you're looking west into the sun with a few hundred other people. From a boat off Marjan you're looking back at the old town with the light on it, no crowd. Most of our sunset bookings are couples, proposals, anniversaries — we handle those most evenings in summer, so tell us in advance if you want a cake, flowers, or a photographer on board.

When to Book
Sunset times in Split vary throughout the season — around 8:30 PM in June and July, 7:00 PM in September, and 6:30 PM in October. We schedule departures 90 minutes before sunset so you arrive at the perfect anchor point with time to relax before the show starts.
May to October is the season. June, July, August have the warmest weather and calmest seas — but also the busiest demand, so book at least 3-5 days ahead. September is our personal favorite: the seas are still warm enough for a swim before sunset, the sun sits lower in the sky for that golden quality of light, and the crowds are thinning out.
If you're planning a proposal or special celebration, book at least 1-2 weeks ahead so we can coordinate every detail with the captain. We've helped dozens of guests pull off the perfect surprise — and we love being part of those moments.
What to Wear & Bring
Dress casually but bring a light layer — once the sun drops, the breeze off the water can be cool, even in summer. A light sweater or pashmina is perfect. Flat shoes or sandals work best on a boat. If you're celebrating, feel free to dress up — our boats are clean and comfortable.
Bring a phone or camera, sunglasses for the first hour, and a swimsuit and towel if you want to swim. Drinks, snacks, cushions, and music are on the boat. Many of our sunset cruises stop at a quiet cove for a quick swim before we anchor for the sunset.
