Shared tours: priced per person, fixed departures

Shared tours are the cheapest way on the water because the cost splits across everyone on board. You book a seat, not the whole boat, and you follow a fixed route at a fixed time.

Captain's Tip

Captain's-log note: child pricing applies on shared tours only. Private charters and rentals are priced per boat, so there's no separate child rate — you pay the same total whether it's 2 guests or the boat's full capacity.

Private charters: priced per boat, your own schedule

Private charters cost more in total but split evenly across your group — and unlike shared tours, you set the stops and the pace, with our captain driving. No other passengers, no fixed script.

The submarine: a fixed price, its own category

The semi-submarine experience runs €135 per hour for up to 14 guests — it doesn't fit neatly into the shared-vs-private split because it's a different vessel entirely, with a below-waterline viewing cabin alongside the open-air deck.

Renting a boat by the hour: what it actually costs

Every rental comes with our licensed captain — there is no self-drive option and no license required from you, because you're never the one behind the wheel. You set the plan (which stops, how long to swim, whether to circle back early), the captain drives. Rates below include the boat, captain, fuel, water, insurance and snorkel masks — there is no separate fuel charge and no deposit.

  • Up to 8 passengers: €90/hour for up to 6 people (€110/hour for 7, €130/hour for 8), roughly €360 for a 4-hour outing.
  • Up to 10 passengers: €150/hour, roughly €600 for 4 hours.
  • Up to 14 passengers: €150/hour for up to 8 people, €200/hour for 9–14, roughly €600–€800 for 4 hours.
  • Up to 20 passengers: €300/hour, roughly €1,200 for 4 hours.
  • Fuel: included in every hourly rate — no separate fuel bill, whatever the boat size.

Captain's Tip

Captain's-log note: a 4-hour rental for 8 guests runs €520 all-in (€130/hour, fuel included) — about €65 per person split eight ways. That's often close to a private charter's per-boat price, but with a schedule you build yourself rather than a fixed itinerary.

Which price actually fits your trip

  1. Solo or a couple, first time in the bay: a shared tour is the cheapest per-person option — start with the 3-hour Blue Cave Adventure at €49.99.
  2. Small group wanting one specific itinerary: a private charter splits cheaper than you'd expect once you're past 3-4 people, and you skip the shared schedule entirely.
  3. Larger group or want total control over stops and timing: hourly rental gives you the most flexibility, and fuel is already included in the hourly rate.

Our Most-Booked Shared Tour

Blue Cave, Mamula Island, and Our Lady of the Rocks in one 3-hour trip. €49.99 per adult, €34.99 per child.
