Where a Pakleni Islands taxi boat goes
A Pakleni Islands taxi boat leaves from Hvar harbour for island beaches during the summer season. Listed shared-boat destinations include Jerolim, Stipanska, Mlini, Ždrilca and Palmižana. Choose the actual bay before buying a ticket: the island name alone may not identify the landing place you need. The summer service is described as regular during the day, but plan around the departure arrangements offered for your particular trip.
Hvar harbour is the starting point for this final sea leg. If you are still travelling from the mainland, use the getting-there guide for the separate journey to Hvar. For a beach visit, settle both outward and return arrangements before boarding, including the meeting place on the island and whether the ticket covers your intended return sailing.
Palmižana, Jerolim or Marinkovac?
Palmižana suits a visit to Sveti Klement, while Jerolim and Marinkovac are different island destinations. At Palmižana, distinguish the marina bay from Vinogradišće, the beach also commonly called Palmižana. Vinogradišće has both pebble and sandy sections and can be reached by boat directly or on foot from the marina bay. Ask which of these landing areas your boat serves before deciding how to spend the day.
Jerolim is an established naturist destination with pebble beaches. On Marinkovac, Ždrilca lies on the western side, while Stipanska has a rocky coast. Those differences matter more for a beach day than collecting several island names. Read the Palmižana and beaches guide, then select one destination with a workable return instead of treating a shared boat as an island-hopping circuit.
Sailing alternative
Our take: This sailing excursion offers a skipper and brunch as an alternative to a taxi boat; it is not a return ticket.
Hand-picked tours, booked through GetYourGuide. Prices are indicative starting prices in euros (as of November 2026). Tap a tour for live availability and the current price in your currency.
A sailing day instead of a taxi boat
The sailing outing from Hvar includes focaccia brunch, refreshments and snorkeling equipment. Choose it for time aboard a sailboat rather than transport to a chosen beach.
Private boat price or shared ticket
A private Hvar to Palmižana transfer was advertised at 120 EUR per boat, one way, in the 2026 offer. The unit is the whole boat for a single direction. The return is booked separately. Keep this price example separate from shared tickets, where you should request the fare and conditions for the passengers travelling and the destination selected.
For a private booking, specify the outward landing place and your proposed collection point together. If you intend to walk away from the arrival bay, agree whether the boat can collect you elsewhere and what that changes in the quote. For a shared ticket, establish which return boat accepts it. These questions make prices comparable without treating a private boat quote as a public fare.
Staying overnight on Sveti Klement involves a different transport decision from a beach visit. Discuss luggage, arrival arrangements and the return with the accommodation before choosing a boat. The accommodation guide explains Hvar and island bases without assuming an evening shared service will meet an overnight guest's needs.
Return boats and weather cancellations
Pakleni taxi-boat journeys can be cancelled by strong wind and high waves. A nearby island still requires a sea crossing, so keep the return plan practical and follow the boat operator's decision. Confirm the day's collection arrangements before spreading out along the coast, particularly if your route ends at a different bay.
Hvar's summer shared boats and an individually arranged private transfer are different services. For travel outside summer, arrange a suitable crossing for the actual date rather than carrying a summer expectation into another season. Use the season and weather guide when deciding how much flexibility to leave around your island day.
The sailing alternative starts on Hvar's Riva and includes a skipper, snorkeling equipment, focaccia brunch, wine, water, seasonal fruit and a toilet aboard. Book it for an organised outing on the water. For other styles of sea day, the boat-trip comparison separates excursions from the simple point-to-point journey described here.
Pakleni taxi boats: practical questions
How much is a private boat to Palmižana?
120 EUR per boat for a one-way Hvar to Palmižana transfer was the advertised 2026 offer. A return is booked separately. Use that figure as a private transfer example, then obtain the quote for your chosen date, landing place and passenger group rather than applying it to shared tickets.
Can I take a shared boat in summer?
Yes, summer shared taxi boats from Hvar harbour serve destinations including Jerolim, Stipanska, Mlini, Ždrilca and Palmižana. Agree your destination and return arrangements at purchase. In particular, identify the island collection point and which boat will accept the ticket, so the outward journey and return form one workable plan.
Which Palmižana landing should I choose?
Palmižana marina bay and Vinogradišće beach are distinct places on Sveti Klement. Vinogradišće can be reached directly by boat or on foot from the marina bay. Tell the boat seller whether your priority is the marina, the beach or an accommodation address, and agree the appropriate arrival and collection points.
