5.00We had a fantastic day with Boka boats. There were 9 of us and we hired their largest boat (for 10). Our sailor (Nicola) was relaxed and was never in any rush, which suited our group. Lots of swimming, jumping from the boat and cliffs and beers. Great day and would love to do it all again. We did the red cliffs tour and visited some lovely spots.
Awesome experience! We...

5.00Awesome experience! We had a private booking for the four of us. We cruised around and went to several beautiful beaches and bays. Our captain Nicolai was very accommodating and catered our trip to our requests. Would highly recommend

5.00We booked a 6 hour private boat tour with our family of 4 (two teenagers). Boka was super easy to book — had it set up in a matter of minutes for the following day. Nikola was our skipper and picked us up on time right at the dock next to our hotel. Boka provided everything we needed (including floaties!) for the day. Nikola is a local who knew all of the best spots to visit and booked us at a fabulous restaurant for lunch. Expert skipper who maneuvered the boat to avoid wakes and to get us into the best spots for anchoring and swimming. He was super knowledgeable but not overly-present, allowing us to have a true private, family experience.

5.00We went on the Johnny Experience and had the most incredible boat trip. Johnny was an amazing tour guide and I couldn’t recommend him enough if you’re looking for a completely curated and authentic boat tour of the Croatian coast. He let us choose from a variety of different stops throughout the trip, took us to a beautiful lunch spot where we had the best food I’ve had so far. This has been the #1 thing we've done on our two week trip to Croatia and I couldn’t recommend this experience enough. Top 5 adventures of my life. Thank you Johnny!!

5.00The best day of our trip (maybe of our lives if we are being honest lol)! There is no tour without Johnny. We visited so many secret spots and he was so intuitive on when it would be crowded Vs. not so we really got the local experience. He was kind, funny, and so informative of Hvar, the islands, and what to visit Vs. Tourist traps. Some of the highlights were: cliff diving at the red rocks, swimming in the tunnel at hidden “actual Green Bay”, lunch at Konoba Kotin (right on the water - beautiful!) - order the mussels and oven baked scorpion fish, and seeing Norma Official Greek DJ at Laganini for drinks. We truly never wanted the day to end! This tour is worth every penny and we owe Johnny (Marino) a million bucks for an experience we will never ever forget. This trip wouldn’t have been complete without this tour. Couldn’t recommend it more. Best skipper in all of Croatia (maybe the world)! Thank you Boka boats & Johnny!
Great experience

Enthralling trip around Hvar beaches

5.00Johnny took us on a fantastic trip. He didn't do the order that tour operators usually go, meaning it was never crowded where we were. Took us to his favourite spots, made us a restaurant booking at a lovely place and looked after us. Mlini Beach, Red Rocks, the Green Lagoon plus many more spots meant we got to see so much in such a short time. Hvar is stunning, and well worth the tour. Thanks again Boka and Johnny!
"All Hail Jhonny, the Skipper, Guide, DJ, Diver and Lifelong Friend We Never Knew We Needed!"

5.00🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (5 out of 5 stars) Where do I even begin with the legend that is Jhonny from Boka Boats Hvar? I mean, calling him a 'skipper' is like calling the Mona Lisa a 'doodle.' It just doesn’t do justice to the man or the masterpiece of our private day boat trip. 🌊 The Destinations: Imagine the most beautiful places you’ve ever seen on Instagram, and then throw in a filter called “Jhonny’s Secret Spots.” Seriously, the man knows the coast like he’s on a first-name basis with every fish and coral. 🍹 The Food: Jhonny had an eye for details like an eagle scoping out its next meal. Need a cheese cake? He’s got you. Thirsty? He knows were to get a beer, wine or a drink. 🎶 The Music: We shared some local songs with our playlist and it was a blast. 🤝 The Hospitality: Okay, here's the clincher. Jhonny wasn't just a skipper; he was a historian, a comedian, a photographer (our Instagram has never looked so good), and honestly, he felt like the long-lost friend we never knew we needed but are so grateful to have met. To sum it up, if Jhonny were a movie, he'd be sweeping the Oscars—Best Skipper, Best Tour Guide, and Best Adaptation of a Human into an Angel. Boka Boats, hold onto Jhonny tighter than Rose held onto that wooden door in Titanic, because this guy is pure gold. Book your day with Jhonny from Boka Boats, or spend the rest of your life wondering what epic levels of awesomeness you missed out on. It's that simple. 👏👏👏 Kudos, Jhonny and Boka Boats Hvar! You’ve just redefined what exceptional service looks like. We can't wait to be back!
