Private Tours
Plan your ideal Croatian vacation with Adriatic Wave Charter. We offer private tours, panoramic cruises and tailor-made trips around Zadar. Every tour is led by an experienced skipper, with fuel and national park tickets included, so there are no hidden costs and you can simply relax and enjoy the day.
Our carefully planned itineraries take you to the most beautiful corners of the archipelago: islands, hidden bays and unspoiled beaches. Prefer something more personal? Design your own route and we’ll make it happen.
With a maximum of 11 guests on board, every trip stays private, relaxed and personal. That keeps the atmosphere friendly and gives you a real connection with the sea and nature. Swim in crystal-clear water, stop at charming coastal towns and quiet beaches, taste local food and leave the crowds behind. Explore the Adriatic at your own pace.
National park Kornati and Nature park Telašćica
Explore the stunning beauty of Kornati National Park, connect with untouched nature, and swim in crystal-clear waters. Discover the rich underwater life and landscapes of the remarkable Telašćica Nature Park.
The magical beach of Sakarun
You don’t need to travel to the Caribbean to feel soft white sand under your feet and swim in crystal-clear turquoise waters. Visit Sakarun Beach and enjoy pure relaxation on one of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia.
Rent a bareboat
Renting a boat without a skipper gives experienced boaters complete freedom to shape their own days at sea. It’s a great choice for families and small groups of friends who want to set their own pace, choose their own route and spend time together away from the crowds.
The Zadar archipelago is made for independent cruising. Dozens of islands, hidden coves and crystal-clear water mean every day brings something new, whether you prefer an easy coastal cruise or hopping from island to island.
Our fleet ranges from agile, powerful speedboats to comfortable modern motorboats and elegant yachts. Every boat is carefully maintained, safe, fuel-efficient and easy to handle, so it suits short trips and longer adventures alike. Many are also great for water sports and reaching remote bays.
Snorkel, swim, find a secluded beach or an untouched island. It’s all within reach. Contact Adriatic Wave Charter and book your boat in time, because your holiday at sea starts here.
Zadar Boat Trips – Best Islands and Routes to Explore
Our home port is a great starting point for exploring the surrounding islands. A favorite is the long island to the west, with a beach of turquoise water over a white-sand seabed, plus hidden coves and beautiful scenery along the way.
Another popular choice is the protected parks, with dramatic cliffs, quiet bays and sweeping views. They’re ideal for swimming, snorkeling and full-day trips.
The nearest islands are just minutes away by boat. Their small villages and peaceful beaches are perfect for easy island hopping or a half-day outing.
To truly get away, head to the more remote islands further out, where clear water, sandy seabeds and calm anchorages await. They’re best reached by a fast boat or RIB.

Check the Weather Before Your Boat Trip in Zadar
For a safe and enjoyable boat trip, it’s important to check the weather forecast before departure. Zadar has a mild Mediterranean climate with warm summers and pleasant temperatures from May to October, making it an ideal destination for boat rentals.
Starting in late spring, daily temperatures rise above 20 °C, reaching an average of 28 °C in July and August. Mornings are typically the calmest part of the day and the best time to head toward your desired destinations. In the afternoon, a light west or northwest wind often develops, so planning your return route accordingly is recommended.
