Nine hours on a traditional two-deck boat: the sunken shipwreck at Nečujam, the fishing village of Maslinica and the Blue Lagoon at Drvenik Veli. Lunch included and snorkelling gear on board.
Full-day tour on a traditional two-deck boat (not a sailing boat — the 3 Islands Tour boats are diesel-powered motor vessels with room for 80 people). They are 15 to 23 metres long, with a toilet on board and two areas: the lower deck shaded from the sun and the upper sun deck, with loungers and benches for sunbathing. We leave from Matejuška harbour and head for the archipelago between Split and Trogir, stopping at three very different places.
First stop: Nečujam, on the island of Šolta. A peaceful bay with an old sunken shipwreck. Snorkel over the remains of the ship in crystal-clear water surrounded by pine trees. Some prefer to swim to the shore, others stay on board sunbathing.
Second stop: Maslinica, also on Šolta. A fishing village with golden stone houses and a small harbour. Free time to stroll or have a coffee in the shade of the main square. Lunch and drinks are included in the price and are usually served on board during the crossing between Nečujam and Maslinica — so you don't lose any swimming or exploring time at the stops. On some days, depending on the boat and the group, lunch is arranged at a restaurant in Maslinica or at the Blue Lagoon.
Third stop and the star of the day: Blue Lagoon, between Drvenik Veli and the Krknjaši islets. Intensely turquoise water and a sandy bottom 2-4 metres deep, ideal for swimming and snorkelling. Many people jump off the upper sun deck. Back to Split at sunset.
Boarding at Matejuška harbour. Welcome from the crew and we set sail for the island of Šolta. A crossing of about 45 minutes across open sea.
We anchor near the old sunken shipwreck. Free time (1h30) to snorkel over the wreck, swim to the shore or sunbathe on the upper deck.
Arrival at the fishing village of Maslinica. Free time (1h) to stroll around the old village, see the little harbour and have a drink on a terrace.
As we sail towards Drvenik Veli, lunch is served on board (or at a restaurant in Maslinica depending on the day and the group).
Arrival at the Blue Lagoon between Drvenik Veli and Krknjaši. We anchor in the middle of the lagoon. Free time (2h) to swim, snorkel or jump from the upper deck.
We return to Matejuška harbour. Estimated arrival around 18:30.
Times may vary depending on sea conditions, the number of people on board and the boat assigned. The skipper adapts the order of the stops to make the most of the day.

You pay the remaining 45 €/person on the day of the tour, in cash (EUR) or by Revolut.
A perfect trip for families. A big boat with two decks and a toilet on board. Much more comfortable than the speedboats. The Nečujam shipwreck was the biggest surprise, the kids were amazed by the sunken boat underwater.
After several speedboat trips we chose this one for a rest. Spot on. A big boat, shade, a relaxed atmosphere. The Blue Lagoon at Drvenik with its turquoise water was the icing on the cake.
Lunch included on board and very decent: fresh fish, salad, local bread. That alone justifies the price. Plus the trip to 3 islands, the snorkelling gear and the chance to jump off the upper deck.
We fell in love with Maslinica. A fishing village with golden stone houses, no mass tourism, perfect for a drink on a terrace. Anyone who wants to see the real face of Šolta should stop here.
We went with my elderly parents (70+). The big boat makes all the difference: they can move around, there are shaded areas, a toilet on board and a ladder down into the water. Impossible on a speedboat. Recommended for older people.
Jumping off the upper deck into the Blue Lagoon was one of the best moments of the summer. Kids and adults alike did it again and again. The water in the lagoon is shallow so it's safe.
We booked through the website with no problems. Mario answered all our questions beforehand on WhatsApp. On the day everything was well organised, a punctual departure from Matejuška and a friendly crew. Recommended.
The Nečujam shipwreck is one of those places you don't expect to find on a day trip. Snorkelling over a sunken boat, watching the seaweed growing on the submerged deck... a little underwater adventure within the tour.
If you're in a small group and want adrenaline, the speedboat is better. If you're with family or want a relaxed day with lunch included and a toilet on board, this is your tour. A different concept.
In May the boat isn't full (it holds 80 people but there were about 40 of us). Plenty of room to stretch out on the upper sun deck, the water still a bit cool but clean. We started the season with this trip and it was a great choice.
A good family tour. We especially liked that lunch was included — with kids it's tricky to go ashore and eat at a restaurant with limited time, so eating on board while we sailed was ideal.
Maslinica has spectacular views from the boat. The village overlooks a small natural harbour with traditional Croatian boats. An obligatory photo. Afterwards we had lunch on board on the way to the Blue Lagoon.
We went as a group of university friends. 15 people. The upper sun deck was our headquarters. Music, sun, jumping into the water. The best-value full-day tour we came across.
We were back in Split around 18:30 with time for dinner and a rest. The trip delivers what it promises: 3 varied stops, a decent lunch, snorkelling available. No surprises, everything as expected.

Not exactly. Although local marketing calls it a 'sailing boat', the tour runs on traditional 15-23-metre boats with diesel engines and two decks (one shaded and a sun deck on top). Capacity up to 80 people. It's a big, comfortable boat with a toilet on board, ideal for families or groups who don't want fast speedboat tours.
Nečujam (Šolta): a bay with an old shipwreck underwater, ideal for snorkelling. Maslinica (Šolta): a picturesque fishing village with stone houses. Blue Lagoon (Drvenik Veli): turquoise water between Drvenik Veli and Krknjaši, with a shallow sandy bottom.
Yes, lunch on board during the Nečujam-Maslinica crossing or, depending on the boat and number of people, at a restaurant in Maslinica or at the Blue Lagoon.
An old boat sunk in the bay, visible from the water. Snorkel to see it (free, gear included on board). It's one of the most popular spots on the tour.
Yes, free gear on board (goggles and snorkel). There aren't always masks for everyone, so bring your own if you like.
Boat transport, crew, snorkelling gear, lunch on board or at a restaurant, English-speaking guide.

Very much so. A big boat with two decks, a toilet on board, shade, and a sandy bottom at the Blue Lagoon that's perfect for children to swim safely.
Yes, up to 24 h before we refund your deposit in full.
If the skipper cancels due to sea conditions, we refund 100% of the deposit or change the date free of charge.
