Istrian Coast Boat Tour with Grilled Seafood Lunch

Spend a half-day cruising Rovinj's stunning archipelago — swimming in crystalline coves, exploring uninhabited islands — then anchor for a freshly grilled seafood feast prepared on board or at a secluded konoba. The Adriatic, the islands, the fish: Croatia in one glorious morning.

What to expect

You depart Rovinj harbour and thread through the Red Island (Crveni Otok) and St. Andrew's Island archipelago, with two or three swim stops in turquoise water so clear you can see the seabed at five metres. The skipper grills fresh fish over charcoal while you dry off on deck. Lunch is unhurried, served with local bread, olive oil, and chilled white wine. The return leg hugs the old town's waterfront for a photographer's farewell view.

Good to know

Tours are typically 4–5 hours; check departure time against your vessel's all-aboard carefully. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and water shoes. Pre-booking is essential as boats carry limited guests — fill quickly from June through September.
