Pakleni Islands private tours by route
Pakleni Islands private tours suit groups choosing between a sailing day in the archipelago, a Red Rocks combination and a wider cave circuit. Those are distinct routes: the Blue Cave is on Biševo, the Green Cave on Ravnik, and Palmižana is a bay on Sveti Klement. A private booking lets your group choose the outing that matches those priorities rather than trying to fit every destination into the same plan.
All four private options here start in Hvar and quote a price for the group. The boats accommodate up to six, seven or eight guests depending on the option. For a nearby sailing day choose the private sailboat; for Red Rocks and room for eight choose that private boat; for the Vis and cave loop choose the seven-guest speedboat.

Choose a six-guest sailboat, a seven-guest Vis and cave circuit, an eight-guest Red Rocks outing or a six-guest Blue Cave combination; prices are per group.
Private sailing or speedboat?
The private Pakleni sailing trip takes up to six guests from Riva 27 in Hvar, with a duration of four to eight hours depending on the option. The route includes several Pakleni stops and time for swimming and snorkeling. Boat, tour and snorkel masks are included, along with an ice box, USB connection, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speaker. Bring your own towels.
The sailing option suits a group whose main interest is the Pakleni shore and water stops. Its equipment package centres on the boat and snorkel masks. The longer cave speedboat package instead includes fuel for a circuit through the Blue and Green Caves, Vis and the Pakleni Islands. Choose by the geographical reach of the day as well as the number of guests, because the two routes serve different interests.
Vis, the Blue and Green Caves and Pakleni
The seven-guest private speedboat departs from Janka Zazjala 18 in Hvar for an eight-hour loop linking Vis, the caves and Pakleni. A private boat and professional skipper are included, together with all fuel for the route, snorkeling gear, a swim ladder, an ice box with bottled water, phone charging ports and Bluetooth speakers. Port taxes, VAT and safety equipment are included too.
Cave admission is extra, and the caves are optional visits affected by weather and waves. Lunch and alcoholic drinks are separate. This package suits a group that wants the longer island circuit and a defined fuel inclusion rather than a sailing day around the nearer coves. The swim ladder and snorkeling gear support water stops elsewhere on the route; bathing, swimming and diving are prohibited inside the Blue Cave.
Pakleni coves and Red Rocks
The private Red Rocks and Pakleni boat carries up to eight guests on an eight-hour outing from Hvar, with Palmižana in the itinerary. Fuel, skipper, beer, water, wine and snorkeling gear are included, and a GoPro13 is available to use. Lunch is separate. This is the largest guest capacity among these private options, useful when the group wants to travel on one booked boat.
Palmižana belongs to Sveti Klement, the largest Pakleni island. Its marina bay and the bathing beach at Vinogradišće are different places, so keep the named itinerary stop distinct from a promise about a particular beach landing. Read the Palmižana guide for shore orientation. The Red Rocks combination keeps that Pakleni component alongside a different coastal destination rather than making the caves its central theme.
Blue Cave and Pakleni for six guests
The private Blue Cave and Pakleni outing starts in Hvar, takes eight hours and accommodates up to six guests. Palmižana is included in the route. Fuel, skipper, beer and water, snorkeling gear, a shower and Bluetooth radio are included, with a GoPro13 available to use. Cave admission and lunch are extra.
This six-guest combination suits a group that wants the Blue Cave theme alongside the Pakleni stop and the listed onboard equipment. Compare the seven-guest circuit if Vis and both caves are the route you want. Confirm the exact Hvar meeting location for the Red Rocks or six-guest Blue Cave option in your booking details. For the wider geography, see cave routes with Pakleni stops.
Group capacity and total price
The private Pakleni prices in November 2026 started at EUR 500 per group for sailing with up to six guests, EUR 720 per group for the Vis and cave loop with up to seven, EUR 999 per group for Red Rocks with up to eight, and EUR 1,200 per group for the Blue Cave combination with up to six. These are group booking prices, with each boat's own capacity and inclusions.
Compare total price with route and equipment rather than capacity alone. The seven-guest cave circuit includes bottled water, port taxes and fuel for its loop. The eight-guest Red Rocks outing includes beer, water and wine. The six-guest sailing trip has an ice box and masks; its duration depends on the option. These differences help identify which boat package fits the day your group actually wants.
Private or shared outing from Hvar?
A shared Pakleni outing suits solo travellers and couples who want to book individual places, while a private group booking suits a party choosing one boat and one route together. The shared four-hour yacht includes a skipper, SUP, snorkel masks, lifejackets and fuel, with food and drinks separate. Compare that shorter outing with the private sailing options rather than treating privacy as the only difference.
The boat tour comparison also covers longer shared trips and mainland departures. For private travel, reach Hvar before the boat meeting, using the arrival guide to separate ferry and island stages. Strong wind and high waves can affect boat journeys. Let daily sea conditions shape the outing, and follow the skipper's directions at water stops in the protected island landscape.
Private Pakleni tour questions
How many guests fit on the private boats?
