The Betina 500 Open is the most affordable boat in our fleet — a simple, friendly 5 m motorboat with a 30 HP engine that's tailor-made for a relaxed day around Hvar. Open deck, easy controls, no fuss.
She's perfect for couples or small groups who want a budget-friendly way to reach the nearby coves of the Pakleni Islands, drop anchor for a long swim and take their time on the water. Fuel is included in the price, so there are no surprises at the pump.
Anyone with a boating licence can drive her — the controls are straightforward and she handles the inshore Adriatic conditions confidently. Pick her up at our dock in Hvar harbour and go.

We cannot recommend Boka Boats by HvarBoats highly enough after our absolutely fantastic day on the water with their Betina 500 Open. From the moment we first inquired about rental options to the final handover at the end of our adventure, every aspect of our experience exceeded expectations. The boat is perfectly maintained, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything needed for an incredible day on the water. The 500 Open model proved to be the ideal choice for our group, offering the perfect balance of comfort, performance, and functionality. It's clear that Boka Boats maintain their fleet to the highest standards, which gave us complete peace of mind during our adventure. The staff's attention to detail during the handover was remarkable. Jan conducted a thorough walkthrough of all the boat's features and safety equipment, ensuring we felt completely confident and prepared before setting off. His local knowledge was invaluable. Jan provided insider tips on the best swimming spots, secluded coves, and must-see locations that we never would have discovered on our own. What impressed us most was the genuine care and passion the team showed for ensuring our experience was perfect. They weren't just renting us a boat. They were helping us create unforgettable memories. The value for money is exceptional considering the quality of both the vessel and service provided. When you factor in the professional service, pristine boat condition, comprehensive briefing, and local expertise, Boka Boats by HvarBoats offers an unmatched experience in the reagon. You simply won't find a better combination of professionalism, quality, and value anywhere else. Thank you to the entire team for making our day on the water absolutely unforgettable!

Très bonne location ( le betina 500), service au top, rien à faire soi même au départ et à l’arrivée et j’ai été accueilli très ponctuellement par le responsable, je recommande !

Buenísima experiencia! Alquilamos la Betina 500 30 cv para 2 personas y pasamos un día estupendo. Vimos todas las calas, a nuestro ritmo y parando en las que queríamos. Antes de comenzar, te dan un mapa y te explican por dónde ir y cómo manejar el barquito. Propietarios muy amables. Te dan nevera. Sin duda, lo recomiendo!!!

Very nice boat for a reasonable price! 200€ for boat “Betina” - helpful instructions + pre-paid digital which is nice and seems to be a legit/professional business!

Experiencia inolvidable! Alquilamos la Betina 500 por un día y nos dio tiempo de hacer todas las islas, el barco suficiente y confortable, éramos 4 (2 niños) y funciono todo perfecto, y la gestión super fácil y rápida. Recomendable!!

I worked with Boka Boats by HvarBoats to hire our boat for the day during our trip to Croatia in July. They were amazing to work with and that day was a real highlight of our trip! We rented a small 5 meter 30 HP boat and boated on our own from Grad Hvar to the Pakleni Islands. We made a reservation at Bacchus and were able to doc our boat there to eat and explore the island. It was an unbelievable experience! Boating around the islands and seeing secluded gorgeous beaches and coves was the perfect day. Or boat was in excellent condition, the price was super reasonable, and the pick up and drop off was very easy. I couldn't recommend them enough!! Send them an email or WhatsApp and they will talk you through setting everything up!

All the team at Hvar Boats were amazing at liasing before our trip via what's app. They changed our booking by two days with ease and when we brought the boat back they said we could keep it for longer as the weather had been bad in the …

It was an amazing experience, a little bit windy but we enjoy the boat for all the day moving from beach to beach. The owners were really nice and they explained to us everinthing we have to know to drive a boat. Perfect.

Great experience renting a 5m, 25hp boat. The staff was very helpful. In fact, when our anchor got stuck at one of the beautiful beaches, their staff member was there in minutes to lend us a hand. Anyone who comes to Hvar should rent a boat from this team.
