Bol & Brač — your questions
What's included in the €900 for the Bol & Brač day, and what will fuel actually cost on top?
- €900 in low season, €1100 in high. That is per boat for up to 8 guests, 25% Croatian VAT included, and it covers your skipper from Brač, towels, cold drinks, snorkelling masks and fins, hardtop shade and a cabin with WC. Fuel is separate, billed at the end of the day against what we actually burn: €150–300 depending on how far along the island you go. Konoba lunch you pay direct, usually €40–60 per person. Island fees and gratuity are on top.
Can we bring young kids on the Bol and Brač trip, and is it fine if someone doesn't swim?
- Yes. The Saxdor 320 GTO gives you T-top shade all day, a cabin with WC and two fridges, which is what actually matters with children on an eight-hour day. We anchor in calm, shallow bays where non-swimmers can stay aboard, and masks and fins are on board. One warning: the water off the tip of Zlatni Rat drops away fast and the east side is a windsurfing beach, so we swim elsewhere. Tell us the ages when you book and we will keep the open-water legs short.
What happens if it's windy on the day of our Brač trip?
- Brač runs east to west, so the two coasts behave differently in the same wind. In a maestral, the northwesterly that fills in most summer afternoons, we work the south side under Vidova Gora. In jugo we cross early and stay on the north coast, Splitska through to Pučišća. In a strong bura we move the date rather than beat into it. If we cancel for weather, your 30% Stripe deposit is refunded in full, no fees. We decide the evening before and confirm again in the morning.
What time should we leave Split for Bol, and does an earlier start actually help?
- 08:30 to 09:00 from ACI Marina Split or the Riva, and the timing matters more here than on our other trips. Zlatni Rat is quiet before 11:00; after that the tour boats arrive. The maestral usually fills in from the northwest after 13:00 and chops up the channel. Leaving early buys you flat water for the crossing, the swimming stops done before the wind, and a table at a konoba in Milna or Pučišća without waiting.
Is Zlatni Rat the whole trip, or is there more to Brač than the beach?
- Zlatni Rat is about twenty minutes of the eight hours. The rest is the part the ferry cannot reach: Pučišća, where they still cut white stone by hand; the deep inlet at Milna; Lučice bay for swimming; empty coves under the Vidova Gora cliffs. We grew up on this island, so the route is ours to change. If you would rather skip the famous beach altogether, say so, and Šolta fits in on the way home.
