Speedboat with a skipper · Obala dr. Franje Tuđmana 5
This 6-hour speedboat trip leaves the Šibenik waterfront for three islands: Zlarin for a swim and the red coral museum, Prvić for lunch, and uninhabited Tijat for a beach bar and quiet bays. It is the easy island day, close to town, in a small boat of no more than 10.
The islands off Šibenik are close enough to reach by ferry, but hopping between three of them in a day takes a private boat. This tour gives you one: a fast speedboat with a skipper, for up to 10 guests, from the Šibenik Riva at Obala dr. Franje Tuđmana 5. One guest says it felt like their own private boat.
First comes Zlarin, the car-free island with a coral-harvesting tradition that goes back to the 15th century. You have time to swim, explore and visit the museum of red corals, and the shops sell coral jewellery if you want a souvenir. The skipper can arrange a local guide on Zlarin if you ask. Next is Prvić, with its two villages, Prvić Luka and Šepurine. The listing includes lunch here, and Šepurine has one of the island's best beaches. Prvić is also where Faust Vrančić, the inventor linked to the parachute, spent his childhood; his memorial centre is in Prvić Luka.
The last stop is Tijat, an uninhabited island with a beach bar and bays where boats like to anchor. Then the skipper brings you back to Šibenik. Drinks and tips are extra, the tour runs rain or shine, and the listing notes that the itinerary may change on the day. It has 4.6 stars from 16 reviews. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
