Clear water and old stone—packed into one trip. This private speedboat tour from Split pairs snorkeling time at Blue Lagoon/Krknjasi Bay with UNESCO Trogir sightseeing, all in a tight 4 to 5 hour schedule. I love the straightforward mix of sea time and town time, and I also like that the boat day runs as a true private outing for groups up to 12. One thing to keep in mind: it’s weather-dependent, and the Trogir stop is brief.

I also like how the plan gives you options. You can jump in for swimming and snorkeling, or you can relax and enjoy the views without feeling rushed. A private format often means you get more attention around the water, including life jackets and snorkeling gear on board. The possible drawback is simple: if you want a deep, slow visit to Trogir, 1 hour can feel short.

Key things to know before you go

  • Private speedboat for up to 12: your group stays together with a skipper, with included life jackets and insurance.
  • Blue Lagoon focus (about 2 hours): enough time to swim, snorkel, and take breaks on calm water.
  • Snorkeling equipment included: you don’t have to travel with gear.
  • Trogir is a quick hit (about 1 hour): great for getting the feel of the UNESCO old town, not for a long wander.
  • Laganini Beach Club stop (about 45 minutes): time for a drink and sea views, while keeping the day moving.

Private Speedboat From Split: The Tone of the Day

Blue Lagoon and Trogir town half day - private speed boat tour from Split - Private Speedboat From Split: The Tone of the Day
This tour is built for people who want the Adriatic to feel close and personal, not like a bus-and-ferry routine. You start at the Model of the historical core of the city of Split on Obala Hrvatskog narodnog preporoda 23, and the experience ends back at the same meeting point. That keeps things easy on a short day.

You’re traveling on a private speedboat, and that matters. With a group size capped at up to 12, it tends to feel more like a shared day on the water than a crowded day tour. The boat includes fuel, a skipper, life jackets, and insurance, and you get water on board. The snorkeling equipment is included too, which reduces what you have to pack.

Timing-wise, the day is designed as a half-day water + town combo: about 2 hours at the lagoon, 1 hour in Trogir, and 45 minutes at Laganini Beach Club, for a total of roughly 4 to 5 hours.

Blue Lagoon and Krknjasi Bay: Snorkeling Time and What to Wear

The heart of the outing is Blue Lagoon/Krknjasi Bay, where you get about 2 hours in crystal-clear water for swimming and snorkeling. This is the part you’ll feel immediately. You’re out on the sea, the water is clear enough for real underwater looking, and the pace gives you time to do both active fun and downtime.

Snorkeling gear is provided, so you can focus on comfort instead of logistics. Still, your comfort depends on what you wear and bring. The water can involve rocky entry and beach areas, so water shoes can be a lifesaver. If you don’t want to fuss with footwear, at least plan for a careful step on and off the boat.

Bring a towel and dress for quick changes. You don’t want to spend the rest of the day drying off in the sun. Also, pack basics like sunscreen and a hat—especially if you’re the type who can lose track of time when the water is this inviting.

And you have control here. The plan doesn’t force you to snorkel the whole time. If you’d rather relax and look out over the water, you can do that too.

Trogir UNESCO Old Town in 60 Minutes: How to See the Right Bits

Blue Lagoon and Trogir town half day - private speed boat tour from Split - Trogir UNESCO Old Town in 60 Minutes: How to See the Right Bits
After the lagoon, you shift to land with a historic city break in Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll have about 1 hour for sightseeing in the old town.

One hour in a UNESCO old town is a sprint. This stop is best if you want a taste: winding historic streets, old-stone atmosphere, and that feeling of stepping into a place that has been around for centuries. It’s also a good choice if you’ve already seen your share of big-name sights and you now want slower-looking streets, doorways, and viewpoints.

The trade-off is obvious: you may not cover every corner. If your ideal Trogir day is all-day walking, this tour is not that. Instead, it’s a smart add-on when you’re already doing a boat day and you want your “Croatia postcard” moment in a manageable window.

Tip for making the most of the hour: decide before you arrive what you want—streets and scenery, or getting photos and moving quickly. Then stick to that plan. You’ll feel less pressure and enjoy the time more.

Laganini Beach Club Stop: A Drink Break With Sea Views

Blue Lagoon and Trogir town half day - private speed boat tour from Split - Laganini Beach Club Stop: A Drink Break With Sea Views
The final stop is Laganini Beach Club for about 45 minutes. This is where the day turns a little more social and relaxed. The idea is simple: grab a drink, enjoy the view, and reset after the water.

This portion is great if you like the “end-of-trip” feel. You’re not rushing to a museum or fighting your way through a crowd. You’re just taking in the coastline and letting your group soak up the win of a good half-day.

Important note for planning: lunch isn’t included, and the tour description doesn’t list food as part of the included package. That doesn’t mean you can’t buy something there; it just means you should expect to pay for drinks and any food you want during this stop. Keep that in mind if you’re traveling with kids or anyone who gets hungry mid-afternoon.

What’s Included (and What Isn’t) So You Can Pack Smart

Blue Lagoon and Trogir town half day - private speed boat tour from Split - What’s Included (and What Isn’t) So You Can Pack Smart
Here’s the practical way to think about what you’re covered for.

Included:

  • Snorkeling equipment
  • Water on the boat
  • Life jackets
  • Insurance
  • Fuel and skipper
  • Admission is listed as free for the lagoon and the town stop

Not included:

  • Lunch

So your packing list becomes personal and simple: swimwear, a towel, and water shoes if you’re trying to stay comfortable during rocky entries. Add sunscreen and a hat because lagoon time can turn into sun time fast.

Also consider bringing a small bag for wet items. You’ll want to get to Trogir and the beach club feeling decent, not like you’re carrying a damp sponge in your hands.

Price and Value: When a Private Boat Makes Sense

Blue Lagoon and Trogir town half day - private speed boat tour from Split - Price and Value: When a Private Boat Makes Sense
The price is $883.17 per group (up to 12), for roughly 4 to 5 hours. That sounds steep if you’re thinking per person. But private boat pricing usually works like this: the cost isn’t about individual tickets—it’s about paying for a boat, fuel, and a skipper for your group.

If you fill the group, the math improves a lot. With 12 people sharing the group price, it lands closer to a mid-range per-person day activity. If you have fewer people, the per-person cost rises quickly. That’s why this kind of tour is often best for:

  • Friends traveling together
  • Families who want a shared experience
  • Small groups that want privacy and not a long scramble to meet, wait, and change plans

You’re also buying time efficiency. Two hours at Blue Lagoon plus a quick UNESCO stop plus a final beach club break is a compact way to hit multiple vibes without devoting a whole day to transit.

One more value point: the included snorkeling gear and life jackets reduce the hassle cost. You’re not stopping mid-trip to solve gear problems.

Weather, Water, and the Pace: Set Your Expectations

Blue Lagoon and Trogir town half day - private speed boat tour from Split - Weather, Water, and the Pace: Set Your Expectations
This experience needs good weather. If it gets canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. That matters because a speedboat day lives and dies by sea conditions.

The pace is active but not frantic. You get:

  • 2 hours for swimming and snorkeling
  • 1 hour in Trogir for sightseeing
  • 45 minutes at Laganini Beach Club for a drink and views

If you’re traveling with kids or anyone who needs frequent breaks, this structure is usually workable: water time first, land time second, then a relaxing finish. If you’re hoping for lots of wandering in Trogir, you’ll have to accept that this tour is more about the contrast—sea + old town—than about slow sightseeing.

Also think about comfort. If you’re planning to snorkel, you’ll want to be ready for being in and out of the water. If you’d rather just swim and float, you can still do that, but bring your comfort kit so you’re not miserable when you’re waiting for your group to be ready.

Should You Book This Blue Lagoon and Trogir Private Tour?

Blue Lagoon and Trogir town half day - private speed boat tour from Split - Should You Book This Blue Lagoon and Trogir Private Tour?
I’d book this when you want a private Split-to-Blue-Lagoon day with real water time, and you also want a quick UNESCO-style old town taste without turning it into a full day. It’s especially appealing for groups up to 12 that can share the total cost, and for people who want snorkeling equipment included.

Don’t book it if your priority is a long, deep exploration of Trogir or if you hate weather-dependent plans. The schedule is fixed, and 1 hour in the old town is a starter dose, not a full course.

If your group is flexible and you’re aiming for clear water, easy logistics, and a memorable mix of sea views and historic streets, this private speedboat format is a strong match.
