# Navy Blue Yachting

> Owner-operated speedboat tours and private charters from Split, Croatia. We run our own boats with our own skippers: the Blue Cave and 5 islands, Hvar and the Pakleni Islands, the Blue Lagoon at Trogir, and private charters where the group sets the route. Departures from Matejuška pier in Split, late April to early November.
