Marlin 790 Pro

The Marlin 790 Pro is the flagship of our RIB fleet: the latest generation from the Italian yard, 7.9 metres, finished to a yacht-like standard and powered by a 250 HP outboard that cruises at 30 knots. If you want maximum reach, maximum comfort and the most photogenic boat in Hvar harbour, this is it. She is rented exclusively with a professional skipper.

Thirty knots puts everything within easy range. Vis is twenty-five minutes away, Bol and the Golden Horn a little over half an hour, and the Blue Cave on Biševo about forty-five minutes, which leaves far more of the day for swimming, caves and a long lunch. The deeper hull rides confidently on a busy afternoon in the channel, and the large fuel tank covers a full day to the outer islands and back.

She is our best boat for groups. Ten guests fit with real space: a huge front sunlounge that is effortless to share, a wide, uncluttered deck for moving around, premium upholstery, a bimini for shade, a bathing ladder, a premium sound system and a cooler with drinks on board. Birthday groups, larger families and friends travelling together all fit on one boat instead of splitting across two.

The 790 Pro runs every tour we offer, from the Romantic Sunset Cruise to the full-day Blue Cave & Island Vis and the Golden Horn & North Coast Tunnels, and she is just as often booked for a custom day: a particular restaurant on Vis, a string of bays you have read about, or simply "show us your favourite places". Your skipper handles the route, the anchoring and the timing around wind and crowds, so nobody on board needs a licence or a plan.

Pick-up is at our dock or anywhere along the Hvar waterfront. If your group is eight or fewer and budget matters more than the last five knots, the Marlin 23 does the same routes for less.
