All my life revolves around sea and being at sea, which is why my professional life has to be centered around the sea, too. I have owned boats for over 25 years and all year round I spend a lot of time saling, be that in the summer when I take guests on tours or in other seasons when I go fishing. Previously I worked also as a professional fisherman and can say that I know this part of the Adriatic coast as the back of my hand; both the history of the coast and places we visit on tours and the hidden gems like coves, bays, beaches. I hold high regard for the sea and never take risks when it comes to sailing - I know how the sea and wind behave and I respect their power, which means my guests will never go sailing if the conditions aren't comfortable.

Fantastic day with Captain Gordon! We were lucky enough to have him in this second to last day of the season!!! He was knowledgeable and delightful and gave my husband and I perfect experience in HVAR and it’s beautiful surrounding waters. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Secret places, grilled fish in the beach were highlights. We will recommend him to all our friends, best way to see HVAR.

Thank you so much! It was a wonderful day and I too am lucky to have got you as my guests for the closing time of this season :) It was a pleasure to have you on board as it was so obvious that you were enjoying every minute of the tour and loved each spot that was included. Lucky me with guests like you! Thank you again for booking my tour and being such perfect guests. Take care!

Before coming to Hvar, my girlfriend and I read online that the only way to truly experience the island's beauty is to get out on the water. We booked a tour with Gordan, and as the other reviews have said, it was by far the BEST day we had on the island. Gordan is an absolute professional and does everything he can to make his guests feel comfortable, safe, and at ease. He knows everything about the island's history and his tour was just as much a learning experience as it was a leisure cruise. Gordan also has an amazing way of knowing exactly when to leave his guests with private time and when to provide guidance and explanation of the landscape. I could go on and on about how positive our experience was, but suffice it to say that our tour with Gordan was an adventure that we will never forget (we still talk about it regularly). Cheers to our captain Gordan, and thank you again for an incredible day. When you are in Texas, give us a shout!

We did a 8hr boat tour and it was amazing. Best day in Hvar by far. He is fun, knowledgeable about the island and nearby beaches and he took us to many private beaches where we were the only people around. We were never rushed and had a great time! Would highly recommend to anyone!

We had a fantastic day! He designed the perfect itinerary for us and did everything he could to help make the trip as enjoyable as possible.

Our tour was amazing! Flash was so lovely and took us to all these beautiful places to explore where it wasn’t overly busy with tourists. He was very knowledgeable and took us to a paradise looking beach for a nice lunch. Lovely boat and just a great day, a must do!

We spent two wonderful weeks on Hvar. In the middle of our vacation we went on a boat trip with the captain. The trip was really awesome, mainly thanks to the captain. The captain is a “sea expert”. He knows every rock, every cave, every cliff, every bay... simply everything. Besides that he told us many interesting things from Croatian history and present. Even though we were fully enjoying our trip, safety was always first. We spent incredible day on the sea and we will never forget this great experience. It will be in our minds forever...hope we will have a chance to enjoy this adventure with this captain again. We recommend this trip to everyone who wants to spend a wonderful day on the sea. Thank you very very much, we hope we will meet again in close future. Kuba and his family.

And thank YOU! it was a wonderful day and you were such pleasant, perfect guests, luck for me. This too made such a difference and made it easier for me to plan where to take you as you truly enjoyed every moment of the tour. You have my best wishes and I too hope we will have another chance to explore of the area. Take care! Best regards from your captain :)

We have experienced many boat trips but with this company we have been discovering the splendor of the island Hvar for the fourth year. Every trip is special and unforgettable, we learn a lot about the localities, bays and their history. The captain knows every stone, knows where children can jump and where are wonderful places to dive and snorkel. The day we spend on the boat is always the "cherry on the cake" of our vacation for my family. If you want to sunbathe - stay on the beach. If you want to see only bays - use taxi. If you want to make a party - go to the disco bar. If you really want to discover something beautiful and the beauty of the sea, this is the right thing, I recommend. Maher and his family

Thank you so much - for being my guests on the boat for the fourth summer in a row and for being such a fun, kind, easy-going family! As you are such perfect guests it is always my big pleasure to try to think of the new places you didn't see before. I love it that you are so in love with Hvar and the beauty that surrounds the island that I am already looking forward to showing you more next time. Thank you for the review, I really appreciate it! Grateful and happy we have become friends over th

Flash is a total expert when it comes to the sea around Hvar. He knows the best spots and is himself a really nice guy who lets you control the pace of the trip. If you're in Hvar, this is a must do! Cheers from Iceland. Thanks Flash! You were awesome!
Reactie van Gordan:
So happy you enjoyed your day on the boat, guys! You were fun, relaxed and kind - absolutely perfect! Thank you for booking my tour and for the great review. Take care all of you. Best regards from Hvar to beautiful Iceland :)

My friends and I traveled to Hvar a few weeks ago and decided to rent a private boat tour for 1 day. Little did we know it would be the absolute highlight of our 10 day trip to Europe! Flash (a Hvar native) took us to the most beautiful beaches and caves that avoided all the crazy tourist groups. Our day was filled with snorkeling, cave exploring, relaxation, fun facts about the history of the island and awesome recommendations for the rest of our stay in Croatia. This is a MUST when traveling to Hvar and my group is already planning a trip back next summer!!!
Reactie van Gordan:
Thank you so much! That day was so much fun and I absolutely loved every bit of it. It is always wonderful when a day is spent with people like you, who wish to have fun and learn something about the place! You have my best wishes, take care!

Our day spent on the boat with Flash was BY FAR the highlight of our time in Hvar. Flash truly knows the islands like the back of his hand and really tailored the whole day on the water to fit our groups preferences. Flash taught us so much about local culture and life in Hvar, and took us to the most beautiful places that only locals would know about. The boat was itself was amazing, we had SO MUCH FUN, and absolutely didn't want the day to end. I will definitely be booking with Flash next time we're in Croatia and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a unique, fun, and stress-free boating experience in Croatia! Truly the highlight of our trip.
Reactie van Gordan:

Flash’s boat tour around Hvar was by far the highlight of our 10 day trip. He was so knowledgeable about the island, very laid back, and listened to what we wanted to do on our private tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver or had a better experience. The boat was also very nice and clean. An all around amazing experience. We are already planning on going back next year and will for sure be using Flash again. HIGHLY recommend! You won’t be disappointed.
Reactie van Gordan:
Thank you so much! One of those perfect days and definitely perfect guests I will remember long after the season is over. Thank you for booking the tour and for the review. Take care!

We were the luckiest guests to get the skipper like Gordan! He took us to the most amazing beaches, caves and beach bars/ restaurants around the island Hvar. Accept his suggestions and you won't regret. Kids had such a great time and we will definitely repeat it next summer 😉.Many thanks to Gordan and Lada.

My husband and I visited Croatia for our honeymoon. Though the entire trip was amazing, our private boat tour was the highlight of our trip! Flash was so friendly, very knowledgable and took us to the best beaches in all of Hvar. We would recommend this to any and all travelers going to Split or Hvar!
Reactie van Gordan:
Thank you so, so much! It was a magnificent day as you were such easy-going, fun and just perfect guests. This means a lot to me, so thank you for the review. You have my best wishes! Happy to have met you. Stay well!

We had Flash take us all around the islands around Hvar for 2 full days. He was friendly, helpful and informative. His assistance was very valuable.I recommend him without reservation

My partner and I took this private tour and we had an amazing day with Gordan around Hvar. It’s the perfect way to explore the beauties of the island at your own pace. Would definitely recommend Gordan’s tour for couples, families or group of friends.
Reactie van Gordan:
It was a pleasure to have you on the tour and show the best of Hvar area. Thanks a lot once again and thank you for the review!
Ken
We had a perfect private boat tour with Flash. His boat is great and he was the best captain, tour guide and host. He knows everything about the area as a Hvar native and lifelong captain. We could not have enjoyed it more. So much more personal and reasonable than the big companies there. Thanks Flash! Ken
Reactie van Gordan:
And a big thank you for being the perfect guests every skipper hopes for. Thanks for the review, too, it is much appreciated. Best wishes to you all!

What a super day! My partner and I booked a boat trip around Hvar. Not realizing that it would be our best tour while on holiday in Croatia. Gordon our skipper, guide our everything on the day showed us all the hidden gems, food recommendations and explained everything in detail which makes us want to come back to visit this beautiful place again. Gordon being a true local gave us the true local experience and without him this day wouldnt of been the same, Thank you Gordon for a super day and all the stories... all the best!
Reactie van Gordan:
Thank you so much! What a fun day it was, too. It was absolutely wonderful to have you two on my boat and show you around. And it is always a gift to every skipper to have guests like you. Thank you again, Carlos. All the best!
Sunny
We are so pleased to be writing Gordan’s very first review! We spent the day with Gordan and couldn’t have imagined a better way to see The Pakleni islands and hear about the beautiful Hvar that Flash described growing up. Want to see the islands with a person who knows them inside and out? Go with Flash. I am not the most confident on a boat but Gordan took that into account and took pains to avoid rough water and keep me distracted when we briefly encounters light chop. This man takes his responsibility seriously. A great captain. A fun person with lots of great stories to share who knows where the hidden gems can be found. Highly recommended
Reactie van Gordan:
Many, many thanks for the review and such kind words, Sunny! It was a great day and such fun to have you on the boat. Having you two on the boat didn't feel like work at all so I feel I should be the one who is thankful. I hope to see you again and wish you many happy travels and all the best!
