Trogir & Blue Lagoon — your questions

What's included in the €500 for Trogir & Blue Lagoon, and how much will fuel add?

€500 in low season, €600 in high season — per boat, up to 8 guests, 25% Croatian VAT included. That covers your skipper, towels, cold drinks, snorkelling masks and fins, the shaded hardtop and the cabin with WC. Fuel is separate, billed at the end of the day on what we actually burn. This is our shortest route, so expect the bottom of our €150–300 range, usually nearer €150. Trogir cathedral entry is about €3 per person.

Is the Blue Lagoon near Trogir the same thing as the Blue Cave?

No — this is the mix-up we correct most often. The Blue Lagoon is a shallow turquoise anchorage at the Krknjaši islets by Drvenik Mali, about 30 minutes west of Trogir; you're swimming within two and a half hours of leaving Split. The Blue Cave is a sea cave on Biševo, the small island out past Vis — a separate 8-hour day from €1100, with a licensed tender transfer and an entrance fee. The two don't fit in 4.5 hours.

Is the Trogir and Blue Lagoon trip OK for young kids and people who can't swim?

It's the trip we point families to. The legs are short — 45 minutes to Trogir, another 30 across to the lagoon — so nobody sits at speed for long. The Krknjaši anchorage is sheltered and shallow over a sandy bottom, with places you can stand. Non-swimmers can stay on the swim platform or in the shaded cabin with the WC. Every child wears a life jacket the whole trip, so tell us their ages when you book and the right sizes are on board.

Should we book the morning or the afternoon for Trogir and the Blue Lagoon?

Morning. We leave ACI Marina Split at 09:00 and walk Trogir at 09:45, before the coach groups reach the cathedral, then anchor at the lagoon around 11:30 — ahead of the big group boats, which start arriving about midday. The maestral, the north-westerly that gives us our name, usually fills in through the early afternoon, so a morning run is back on the Riva before it builds. We can run an afternoon departure if that suits you; expect a busier lagoon and more chop on the way home.

What happens if it's too windy on the day we've booked?

We watch the marine forecast, make the call 12 to 24 hours ahead and re-confirm on the morning — you never drive to the marina to find out. Sustained wind above 25 knots and we don't go out. If we cancel, your 30% deposit comes back in full, no fees, or we move you to a calmer day in your stay. This route helps: it's short and stays inshore, so it often still runs on days when the open crossing to Vis is off.
