This big catamaran tour links Blue Lagoon swimming with a real walk through UNESCO-listed Trogir, with lunch and drinks included. You’ll sail along the Adriatic, stop for two swim breaks, and get enough time on land to feel like you did more than just float.

What I like most is the all-day pace without stress: drinks are included, lunch is simple and filling, and you’re not hunting for cash or menus in the heat. I also like the structure—two swim hours are protected time, then you shift gears to Trogir’s old streets for history on foot and a bit of breathing room.

One drawback to keep in mind: it’s a lot of boat time between swim stops, and you may not get the exact kind of sun-lounging setup you expect while underway. If you’re the type who needs constant “lay on the nets” time, plan for benches and deck time.

Key things that matter before you go

• Two swim stops with real water time: Blue Lagoon (Krknjasi Bay) plus Fumia Bay on Čiovo.
• Unlimited drinks all day: coffee, beer, red/white wine, soft drinks, and still water.
• Lunch onboard, not an afterthought: chicken salad and fruit, with a small sweet/cake and watermelon mentioned.
• Trogir on foot: UNESCO-listed town, with a walking guided component plus free time.
• Big boat, smallish group: capped at 76 travelers, with separate male/female toilets reported.
• Weather-dependent day: if conditions aren’t right, you’ll get a different date or a full refund.

From Split at 9:00 to the open Adriatic

You start at Obala Lazareta 1 in Split at 9:00 am, and the tour returns to the same place. The meeting point is easy enough to reach if you’re using public transport, and you’ll carry a mobile ticket.

This is a “take the day” type of tour. You’re not spending it hopping between buses. Instead, you settle in on a catamaran and let the water and views do the work while the crew runs the day’s rhythm—drinks, swim stops, and food when it’s time.

Also, this boat day is designed for most people. The listing says most travelers can participate, and the tone from the crew is friendly and welcoming. If you like clear schedules, you’ll appreciate that the stops are timed (roughly an hour at each swim stop, plus more time in Trogir).

Stop 1: Blue Lagoon / Krknjasi Bay swim hour

Your first water break is Blue Lagoon (Krknjasi Bay). Plan for about 1 hour in the water, including fresh fruit. This is the part of the day most people are picturing when they book: clear water, a chance to swim, and enough time to rinse off and reset.

The catch is simple: you’ll spend time sailing between stops. If you want this day to feel like a nonstop beach club, it won’t. It’s more like two concentrated swims, with boat time in between.

Practical tips that help here:

• Bring swim gear you’re comfortable wearing for repeated on/off the boat moments.
• If you use sunscreen, apply before you’re fully in the “salt-water schedule.” The first swim hour usually goes quickly.
• If you care about where you sit, scope it early. There are plenty of places to rest, but one review noted restrictions on lounging directly on the nets while moving. So decide what you’ll do during travel segments, not just during the swim stop.

Trogir on foot: UNESCO streets plus 90 minutes of freedom

After your first swim, you shift from water time to land time with Trogir. You get about 1 hour 30 minutes, and the town itself is UNESCO listed. Your guided component is a walking tour, with free time baked in so you can wander without feeling herded.

Trogir works well with a tour format like this. It’s compact enough to enjoy in a short window, and walking gives you the feeling of an actual place, not just a photo stop. You’ll also be in a calmer mindset after the sea—cooler pace, streets instead of waves.

One useful way to plan your free time: pick a direction as soon as you arrive and walk with purpose for 30–40 minutes. That way, the rest of the time becomes casual rather than aimless. With only 90 minutes, aimless browsing can steal your best views.

Also, the listing notes admission is free in Trogir for your included part, which is helpful for budget sanity.

Stop 3 on Čiovo: Fumia Bay swim and onboard lunch

Your second major swim stop lands on Čiovo Island, at Fumia Bay. Expect about 1 hour, plus lunch onboard during this leg.

This is where the day often feels like it “clicks.” You swim again, then you eat while the boat carries you forward. Lunch is included, and the menu is listed as chicken salad and fruits. In one account, the meal also included a small cake and watermelon, which is exactly the kind of simple, satisfying touch that works well after sun and salt.

What to know about timing: after a swim stop, you’re usually tired in a good way, but also ready to sit. So I’d treat lunch as your recovery moment. Eat at a comfortable pace, refill water, and then enjoy the rest of the cruise without rushing.

If you’re sensitive to motion on boats, give yourself a seat with some steadier footing and don’t start lunch standing in busy areas. It’s a catamaran day, but the water can still sway.

Food and drinks: what all-inclusive really covers

The tour includes all-inclusive drinks: coffee, beer, red and white wine, soft drinks, and still water. That’s a strong set for a day that otherwise might cost you extra at every stop.

In practice, you can expect the drinks service to be casual and ongoing rather than formal courses. One review described a mix of soft drinks and sparkling water along with beer or wine, which matches the listed options.

Food is included too. The lunch menu is chicken salad and fruits, and you also get fruit at the first swim stop. One account specifically mentioned chicken salad plus a little cake and watermelon. So while this isn’t gourmet, it’s built for energy: salty, refreshing, and easy to eat with wet hands and sandy sunscreen.

Diet notes that matter:

• Vegetarian, Vegan, Lactose-free, and Gluten-free options are available—but you have to request them at booking.

If you have dietary needs, do it early. Don’t wait until the day-of.

One small reality check: a salad-based lunch can be great after swimming, but if you want hearty hot food, this may feel basic. The tradeoff is that you’re paying for the catamaran day experience and the included drinks, not a full fine-dining menu.

Boat comfort, toilets, and the music-and-dancing vibe

This tour is run on a large catamaran. Reviews describe it as clean, and the crew as friendly and energetic. There’s also mention of music and even dancing onboard.

Now the balance: onboard entertainment is not a guaranteed show with big volume and constant activities. One account said there wasn’t much entertainment beyond music. Another said there was dancing and music with a good atmosphere. Translation: expect a pleasant vibe, not a full production.

Comfort is the real variable. Some people will be happy with nets and deck lounging. Others want steady seating for hours. One review criticized uncomfortable seating during travel segments and said the boat didn’t allow lounging on the nets while it was moving. So if you’re booking with a “I need soft sunbathing space” mindset, keep your expectations practical.

Toilets: one review noted two toilets with one for females and one for males. That’s a nice detail for a multi-hour boat day, because it reduces line stress.

My practical advice: think in terms of rotation. Sit when you need to. Stand and move when you can. And plan to spend the day with a mix of sun, shade, and short breaks, rather than one perfect lounging zone.

How much time you spend cruising (and why that can still be worth it)

This tour is about 7 hours total, with about 5 hours of catamaran time. That means you’re on the water most of the day, which may sound like a lot until you remember the value: you’re getting two swims in different bays without needing separate transfers.

If you compare it to doing everything separately, the “travel time” becomes the actual transportation. The boat is the connective tissue. And the views from the Adriatic are part of what you’re paying for.

Still, if you hate waiting, you might find long stretches between swim stops slow. If that’s you, treat the cruising segments as:

• Drink time (coffee, beer/wine, soft drinks)
• Photo time when the light is right
• Shade breaks and quick conversations
• A chance to recharge before the next water hour

This is a day that rewards a flexible attitude.

Choosing between the two itinerary options at booking

You’ll be offered two itinerary options when you book. The core ingredients—Blue Lagoon swim, Trogir, Čiovo with Fumia Bay swim, lunch onboard, and drinks—are clearly part of the experience.

What’s not spelled out here is how the two options differ. So here’s how I’d handle it: when you select your option, check what changes (timing, order, and which swim windows you get). If you care most about swimming first or hitting Trogir earlier, pick based on your priorities.

If you’re unsure, choose the option that lines up best with:

• Your energy level for the day (early swim vs later swim)
• Your desire to spend more time on land versus water
• Your plan for photos and the sun

Value for the price: $108.37 and where it adds up

At $108.37 per person for a 7-hour catamaran day, this becomes a value question: what are you getting for that money?

You’re paying for four big bundles:

1. Two swim stops with time to actually get in the water (not just a quick stop).
2. Lunch onboard (chicken salad and fruit, plus small sweet/cake and watermelon mentioned).
3. All-inclusive drinks (coffee, beer, wine, soft drinks, still water).
4. Trogir on foot with a guided walking component plus free time.

If you were to buy boat transportation, pay for drinks, and then also secure a guided walk or entry/food elsewhere, costs add up fast. Here, the drink package is a big lever—especially if you’ll have more than a couple of drinks during the day.

So I’d call it good value if you’ll use what’s included:

• You like swimming and want time for it
• You’ll drink some coffee/soft drinks at minimum, and maybe beer/wine
• You’re okay with a simple lunch
• You want Trogir as a walk, not a drive-by

It might feel less worth it if your goal is heavy onboard entertainment, or if you’re very sensitive to comfort during the cruising segments.

Who should book this catamaran day (and who should skip it)

This tour is ideal for:

• Couples, friend groups, and families who want a single ticket for sea + town
• Beach-and-water lovers who want two separate swim windows
• People who appreciate included drinks during the day
• Anyone who wants a short, effective taste of Trogir without planning transport and timings

I’d hesitate if:

• You’re the type who needs lots of structured entertainment onboard
• You expect beach-chair comfort for hours with nets always available while moving
• You don’t like waiting between swim stops (even though the scenery helps)

Should you book the Blue Lagoon, Trogir & Čiovo catamaran with Food and Drinks?

Yes, if your ideal day is simple: swim, drink, eat, see a UNESCO town on foot, then do it again by the water. This tour matches that perfectly, and the included drinks are a real part of the value.

Book it with two mindsets:

• Think of it as two swim highlights plus Trogir, not one nonstop beach session.
• If comfort is your priority, plan for mixed seating and bring a small strategy for travel segments (shade, a comfortable spot, and a willingness to rotate).

If that sounds like your kind of day, this is one of the more straightforward ways to experience Split’s coastal highlights without turning your vacation into a schedule stress test.
