Half day · private tour from Split
Relax, Swim & Enjoy: Milna & Bobovišća
A half day with no checklist: cross to Brač's west coast and settle into two of the calmest harbours on the island. Milna, the old Venetian port, and Bobovišća, a tiny inlet of stone houses and moored wooden boats. Drop anchor, swim, repeat.
The route
Routes flex with wind and sea state. The crew plans the best version of this day, on the day.
The day
Milna has sheltered sailors since Venetian times; its long, protected bay makes for the kind of flat, glassy swimming you cannot count on at open beaches. Coffee on the harbourfront, a look at the parish church, no hurry anywhere.
Bobovišća is smaller still, a poet's cove, literally: the Nazor family house sits at the head of the inlet. A couple of konobas, a handful of boats, water like a pool.
This is the trip for the day after the big tour, for grandparents and small kids, or for anyone whose ideal afternoon is a book, a swim and someone else handling the boat.
Highlights
- Brač's two calmest, most sheltered harbours

Questions about this tour
How far are Milna and Bobovišća from Split?
Brač's west coast faces Split, about half an hour by boat. Short rides are the point of this trip: more time floating, less time travelling.
Who is this half-day trip best for?
Groups that want water and calm rather than sights: families with small children, older guests, honeymooners, or day-after-the-party crews. It pairs well with a bigger island tour earlier in the week.
Can we extend it into a full day?
Yes, say so in the inquiry and we build in a konoba lunch and a third bay. The route also combines well with Šolta across the channel.
