Review of Captain Bobo’s private Krk boat trip to Stara Baška, with secluded coves, swim stops, snorkeling, local stories, and practical tips.

“Captain Bobo was a great guide for our day on the water. Our group ranged in ages from 8 to 75 and he made sure everyone had a great experience. A few in our group can get motion sickness in rough waters but they also wanted to experience Croatia by boat. Bobo navigated along the coastline to avoid larger waves even as the Bura winds picked up. He found numerous protected coves for our group to explore, swim, and snorkel. The kids, adults, and grandparents all loved it.”

Review of Krk’s private Plavnik boat trip, with wild bays, swimming, snorkeling, griffon vultures, and practical booking advice.

“It was a delightful experience from the very start. Bobo, with his old fisherman boat, rides the deep blue waves of the coasts and let us appreciate the perfect water. From showing us special jumping spots in the cliffs, to sharing his insights about the local bird species, the captain never ceased to impress us. We, of course, had to share a few drinks and some food together. Clearly an experience you don't want to miss on Krk island.”
