Pelagosa 33

The Pelagosa 33 is the largest and most luxurious boat in our fleet: a Croatian-built, ten-metre powerboat with a Cummins 480 HP engine, room for eleven guests, and the comforts of a small yacht. Think of her as your floating day club on the Adriatic. She is chartered with a professional skipper.

She cruises effortlessly at 25 knots and tops out at 35, so Vis is about half an hour from Hvar, Bol and the Golden Horn forty minutes, and the Blue Cave on Biševo under an hour, and her size and weight make the open-sea crossing noticeably smoother than on a smaller boat. That is why she runs our three full-day tours, Blue Cave & Island Vis, Golden Horn & North Coast Tunnels and Red Rocks & Pakleni Islands, and why she is the boat we suggest when someone in the group is nervous about a long ride.

On board, every detail is built for a full day. The spacious sunlounge deck is made for the Dalmatian sun, a bimini gives shade when you have had enough of it, and a full restroom and freshwater shower mean you can swim and snorkel all day without worry. A refrigerator stocked with drinks, a premium sound system and Wi-Fi keep the mood going between stops and let you share the day as it happens. For the water there is snorkelling gear and, for the adventurous, underwater scooters.

Eleven guests is what makes the Pelagosa special. Larger families, wedding parties, birthday and anniversary groups and corporate days out fit on one boat, with space to sit together for lunch at anchor or to find a quiet corner in the bow. Your skipper knows every hidden bay, quiet beach and good table in the Hvar archipelago, and will build the day around you: a fixed tour, a custom route, or a slow cruise between two restaurants.

Pick-up is at our dock or anywhere along the Hvar waterfront, and no one on board needs a licence. For a group of nine or fewer who want something newer and sportier, see the Ryck 280.
