What occurs if the weather is bad?

If Mother Nature decides to spoil your long-awaited Boat Tour from Zadar, don’t worry—you are completely covered. We can reschedule your trip for a sunnier day or offer you a full refund if you prefer. Either way, you’re covered!

What is your cancellation policy?

Life has its fair share of surprises, both pleasant and challenging. But when it comes to your adventure with us, rest assured—we’ve got you covered! Our flexible cancellation policy allows you to cancel up to 24 hours before the tour begins and receive a full refund, no questions asked.

However, keep in mind that procrastination can cost you. If you cancel within the 24-hour window before the tour starts, we won’t be able to refund your deposit.

Is my payment secure?

Absolutely. Our online payment system encrypts your payment information to shield you from fraud and unauthorized transactions. Zadar Boat Tours utilizes internationally recognized secure payment systems to handle your transactions. To ensure your security, we never send payments directly to any activity provider outside of our secure site. Your payment method will be charged upon booking. 

We’re powered by Stripe, so you can rest assured that your payment is secure and processed swiftly.

Can I make changes to my booking after I book?

Certainly, we are here to assist you. Should you need to modify your booking—such as adding or removing a participant, updating your contact information, or changing the date or time of your activity—please contact us via phone or email.

Additionally, you can cancel your booking without any charge up to 24 hours prior to the activity’s scheduled start time.

Can I customize my speedboat tour itinerary?

You have the flexibility to customize your itinerary, letting you decide whether to skip a stop, spend more time at a specific location, explore the island on foot instead of swimming, or even savor delicious seafood at an authentic island tavern. Feel free to approach your skipper, who will do their best to accommodate your wishes.

However, requests to visit remote locations that are not on the planned route or to extend the tour duration are not permitted without prior arrangement and may incur additional costs.

Do I need any experience to join a speedboat tour?

No experience needed! Our speedboat tours are designed for passengers aged 3 to 99, regardless of physical fitness. So, whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a complete newbie, we’ve got you covered. Just bring your sense of adventure and leave the navigating to us! 

Do I need to book a speedboat tour in advance?

It’s always wise to plan and book your tour a few days in advance—especially during peak season when the demand for boat tours skyrockets. You don’t want to miss out on those unforgettable experiences and end up with FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) just because you waited too long. So, secure your spot early and get ready for a journey you’ll remember for years to come!

Do speedboat tours include food and drinks?

For our half-day tours, you’ll be treated to refreshing drinks (water, juice, beer)—all included in the price. And for our full-day tours, we take it up a notch with a tasty snack on board, accompanied by a glass of local wine. It’s all part of the package, so you can just relax and enjoy the ride!

Can I bring my own drinks and snacks on board?

Absolutely, bring on the snacks and drinks! Just think of our boat as your floating picnic spot. All we ask is that you keep it tidy—no one wants to swim with your cookie crumbs! 😄 Bon appétit!

Do you have snorkeling gear onboard?

We have snorkeling mask and snorkel set ready on the boat so you can explore the underwater world without worrying about bringing your own equipment. Best of all, you can use them for free.

Is there a life jacket provided for each passenger?

Safety is our top priority! We’ve got life jackets for every passenger, available in both adult and child sizes.

Can we see dolphins during the speedboat trip?

Well, dolphins are quite shy and tend to steer clear of people and boats. But sometimes, they surprise us with unforgettable moments when they appear out in the open sea. So, while we can’t promise anything, you might just get lucky and have a dolphin encounter that will make your day!

Do speedboat tours visit Kornati National Park?

We offer not one, but two exciting trips to Kornati National Park—a half-day tour and a full-day adventure. And if you have specific preferences, we can tailor the trip to your wishes. It’s your adventure, after all!

Is there a photographer available to capture moments during the tour?

Absolutely, we’ve got you covered! Our skipper can capture those unforgettable moments for you with a professional camera—free of charge. Just let us know in advance so they can bring the camera on board. Your Instagram feed will thank you later!

None of the offered tours appeal to me. Can you create a custom tour to my liking?

Of course we can! If none of our current tour offerings match your desire to explore the coast and islands, we can completely tailor a tour to suit your preferences. Just drop us an email or message, and we’ll do our utmost to make sure you have a fantastic experience. Your wish is our command!
