Boat Rental Trogir — Nautical Guide 2026

Boat rental in Trogir is the perfect starting point for exploring central Dalmatia. Trogir, a small town with a UNESCO Old Town set on an islet between the mainland and Ciovo island, offers sailors an unforgettable experience — from colourful harbour boats to the crystal waters of the Split Archipelago stretching right before the town.

Why Trogir is the Ideal Nautical Base

Trogir is located just 27 km west of Split and only 7 km from Split International Airport, making it one of the most accessible nautical bases in Dalmatia. With a rented boat from Trogir, the entire Split archipelago — Brac, Hvar, Solta, Vis and Lastovo — is within one to four hours' sailing. The sheltered Trogir harbour and numerous private marinas provide all conditions for safe and comfortable embarkation.

• Brac — Zlatni Rat beach, the only spit beach on the Adriatic, 45 minutes sailing
• Hvar — Croatia's sunniest town, lavender fields, cocktail bars and Pakleni Islands
• Solta — peaceful family island, authentic Dalmatian gastronomy, 30 minutes
• Vis — the most remote inhabited island, Blue Cave and the legend of Odysseus
• Lastovo — nature park, zero light pollution, a paradise for stargazers

What to Visit by Boat from Trogir

The most popular day trip heads towards Hvar and the Pakleni Islands — an archipelago of 21 islets with crystal clear bays such as Palmizana, Stjepan and Vinogradisce. Hvar Town offers rich history — a Renaissance cathedral, a Spanish fortress, and the liveliest nightlife scene in Dalmatia. From Trogir, Hvar is approximately 1.5 hours' sail.

For nature lovers, the route to Vis and the Blue Cave on Bisevo is an unforgettable adventure. The Blue Cave, accessible only to smaller boats, bathes visitors in extraordinary blue light penetrating through an underwater opening. Due to its popularity, arrival early in the morning is recommended. Vis also offers Stiniva cove, often ranked as one of the most beautiful coves in Europe.

• Pakleni Islands (Hvar): 1.5 hours, ideal for day groups up to 10 people
• Zlatni Rat beach (Brac): 45 minutes, a must-see for first-time Dalmatia visitors
• Blue Cave (Bisevo/Vis): 3 hours, departure no later than 7 a.m.
• Stiniva cove (Vis): 2.5 hours, narrow rocky cove — a true Dalmatian gem
• Solta — Maslinica and Stomorska: 30 minutes, perfect for a family lunch by the sea
