A private boat tour from Split to Šćedro is the best way to experience this small, quiet island just south of Hvar. It feels like a world away from busy summer destinations. Visiting Šćedro on a private boat tour means discovering a quieter side of the Adriatic — hidden coves, calm anchorages, and water so clear it feels unreal.

In the past, sailors used Šćedro as a safe harbor while navigating the Adriatic. In 47 B.C., Caesar’s fleet defeated Pompey’s forces in nearby waters. This victory secured control over the eastern Adriatic. The island looks much the same today.

Urban explorers will love the deserted village of Nastane, where old stone houses quietly tell stories from another time. You can also see well-preserved Illyrian tumuli, the ruins of a 15th-century Dominican monastery, and the Church of St. Mary of Charity.

But Šćedro isn’t just about the past. The air is filled with the fragrance of pine trees and wild Mediterranean herbs, creating a sense of calm that is becoming increasingly rare. On the northern shore, the bays of Lovište and Monastir offer excellent swimming spots and seaside restaurants — perfect stops for lunch during a private cruise.

On the way to or from Šćedro, you can also admire the dramatic Red Rocks near Hvar. These cliffs rise vertically from the sea. Wind and waves have shaped them over centuries. You experience them best from a boat.
