There are plenty of boat trips along the Istrian coast. Most of them follow the same route, stop at the same beaches and keep to the same timetable. This isn’t one of them.
The Tailor-Made Private Tour aboard the luxury Colnago speedboat starts with a simple question: Where would you like to go today? Instead of choosing from a fixed itinerary, you decide how your perfect day at sea looks. Whether that’s discovering hidden coves, swimming in crystal-clear bays, enjoying lunch in a charming fishing village or simply cruising along the coastline with no particular destination in mind, the day is entirely yours.
How It Works
Your private adventure begins in Rabac Harbour, where your skipper welcomes you aboard the Colnago 33JG, a modern luxury speedboat designed for comfort as much as performance. The tour lasts around eight hours, giving you plenty of time to explore destinations that simply aren’t possible on a regular group excursion.
There are plenty of ideas if you need inspiration. You might spend the day exploring the island of Cres, visit the elegant seaside town of Opatija, cruise towards Lošinj or ask your skipper to recommend hidden beaches and quiet bays known mostly to locals. That’s the beauty of a tailor-made tour—there’s no schedule to follow except your own.
Luxury Isn’t About the Boat
Of course, the Colnago itself is impressive. With spacious sun decks, a premium sound system, freshwater shower, onboard toilet, comfortable seating and room for up to twelve guests, it’s built for long, relaxing days on the Adriatic. Fresh fruit, bottled water, snorkelling equipment, fuel, skipper service and all the essentials are already included, so once you step aboard, there’s very little left to think about except enjoying the day.
But what makes this experience feel luxurious isn’t the boat. It’s the freedom.
You don’t have to watch the clock because another group is waiting. If you discover a beautiful bay where everyone wants to swim a little longer, you simply stay. If a picturesque harbour invites you to stop for lunch, you can. If dolphins appear alongside the boat, nobody is in a hurry to move on. The itinerary adapts to you—not the other way around.
The Best Moments Are Usually Unplanned
Some of the most memorable moments on the Adriatic are impossible to schedule.
A secluded beach that can only be reached by boat. A swim in water so clear you can see the seabed several metres below. A quiet restaurant where today’s catch arrived just hours earlier. The skipper knows these places and is happy to tailor the route based on the weather, sea conditions and what your group enjoys most. That’s something no printed itinerary can promise.
Whether your perfect day means snorkelling in hidden coves, exploring island villages, enjoying a leisurely lunch by the sea or simply switching off while cruising across Kvarner Bay, this experience gives you the flexibility to make it happen.
Who Is This Tour For?
This is the perfect choice if you’re celebrating a special occasion, travelling with family or friends, or simply prefer privacy over crowded excursion boats. Because the boat is reserved exclusively for your group, the atmosphere immediately feels more relaxed. Children can swim whenever they like, couples can enjoy complete privacy, and groups of friends can spend the day exactly as they imagined it.
It’s also a wonderful option if you’ve already visited Rabac before and want to experience the Adriatic from a completely different perspective. Sometimes, the best memories aren’t made by seeing more places—they’re made by spending more time in the right ones.
Little Book Notes
When planning your day, don’t feel you need to squeeze in as many stops as possible. Some of the most unforgettable moments happen when you linger a little longer in one beautiful bay instead of racing between destinations. Ask your skipper where they would stop if they had the boat all to themselves—you’ll often end up discovering places that never appear in travel guides.
And one final tip: pack a light camera bag, plenty of sunscreen and your favourite playlist. The views will take care of the rest.
