This practical open boat is perfect for couples, small families, or a group of friends who want to discover hidden bays, turquoise lagoons, and beautiful beaches around Hvar. Powered by a reliable and fuel-efficient 60 HP engine, the Prince 496 offers a smooth and enjoyable ride, making it a great choice for island hopping, swimming stops, snorkeling, or lunch by the sea.

The boat can accommodate up to 5 people. It has a comfortable open layout, a spacious bow sundeck with cushions, seating area, Bimini top for shade, swimming ladder, cooler box, and all required safety equipment. It is suitable for self-drive rental for guests with a valid boating license. A skipper can also be arranged on request.

Before departure, our team will give you clear instructions, explain the boating area, suggest the best route depending on the weather, and show you how to safely use the boat and anchor.

About the area

The boat is located in Hvar town, one of the most beautiful and lively harbours on the Adriatic. From here, you can reach many amazing places in a short time.

The most popular destination is the Pakleni Islands, famous for crystal-clear sea, turquoise bays, beach bars, and seaside restaurants. Some of our favourite stops are Mlini, Ždrilca, Palmižana, Vlaka, and quiet hidden coves where you can anchor, swim, and enjoy the day away from the crowds.

For guests who want to explore the south coast of Hvar, we recommend visiting Pokonji Dol, Milna, Zaraće, Dubovica Beach, and the impressive Red Rocks. Dubovica is one of the most beautiful beaches on Hvar, while Red Rocks are a great place for swimming, photos, and a more adventurous stop.

A perfect day with this boat could be: leave from Hvar town in the morning, cruise to the Pakleni Islands, stop for a swim in a quiet bay, have lunch in a seaside restaurant in Ždrilca or Palmižana, and slowly return along the coast in the afternoon.
