“We had the best time with Davor and Dado. I wish I could give 5 plus stars. We were a group of 6 (Two adults with 4 college age adults) The boat was awesome and had everything we needed. The kids especially enjoyed the Sea Bob (motorized snorkeling scooter) and the paddle board. Davor was easy going and accommodating. About halfway through our time he suggested a great restaurant with great views that we really enjoyed. We will definitely book again with Davor when we travel to Split again in the future.”
