Private and guided speedboat tour

For guests wishing to explore the natural beauty of the Adriatic, private and guided speedboat tours offer a truly unique experience of the surrounding islands and coastline.

Cruise through crystal-clear turquoise waters and discover secluded coves, hidden beaches and the aromatic scents of Mediterranean herbs carried by the sea breeze. The picturesque bay of Maslinica and the nearby islands of Hvar, Brač, Vis and Šolta reveal a world of untouched nature, accessible only by boat and known mostly to locals.

Our experienced team will be happy to design a personalised itinerary and share their local knowledge, guiding you to the most beautiful and authentic places of the Adriatic.

The tours can include swimming, snorkelling, diving, sightseeing or enjoying food and drinks on board, allowing you to experience the Adriatic exactly at your own pace.

If you wish to explore the Adriatic in style and comfort, a private speedboat tour from Martinis Marchi is the perfect way to discover the hidden treasures of the Dalmatian coast.

Discover Šolta

The island of Šolta offers a rare combination of untouched nature, rich heritage and authentic Mediterranean lifestyle. Discovering Šolta means stepping into a slower rhythm of life, where stone villages, olive groves and turquoise coves reveal the beauty of Dalmatia’s hidden landscapes.

Exploring the island is also a journey inward – a chance to reconnect with nature, simplicity and inner peace. Let us guide you through the authentic experiences that make Šolta so unique.
