What type of Hvar boat rental is for you?
Depending on your needs and budget, you could either rent a speedboat or a small motor boat. I’ll list the pros and cons of both so it’s up to you to decide!
Speedboats
If you decide to visit some neighboring islands like Brac and Vis than renting a speedboat you can arrive fast to some places that you should visit like:
- Golden Horn beach on Brac island in Bol town
- Blue Cave on island Bisevo near Vis is the most beautiful cave on Adriatic.
- Green Cave on island Ravnik near Vis is a beautiful place to swim.
Prices for these fast speedboats start from € 114 to € 314 per day.
Smaller motor boats
This type of boats are the best choice for short distances. Visiting each day a new bay among Hvar Paklina Islands will satisfy the needs of small families or a group of friends.
Pictured to the right is “Pasara” small motor boat suitable for up to 5 people, with the following features:
Pasara 8HP – boat features:
- Length: 4.70 m
- Capacity: 5 persons
- Engine: 8 HP
Pasara 6HP – boat features:

- Capacity: 5 persons
- Engine: 6 HP
Pasara 5HP – boat features:

If you think that speedboats are too expensive or if you feel the speed is not the most important factor you can opt for a small boat that is very easy to drive and very affordable to rent.
Small boats with 6HP to 8HP engines offer enough power and speed for your trips to beautiful Pakleni islands or nearby southern Hvar bays. They are all very comfortable and safe with capacity up to 5 persons and length up to 5 m. They all have an outboard engine from 5 to 20HP (horse power).

Do you need a license for Hvar boat rental?
If you ask this question to boat rental companies, the answer will be:
‘Renting a motor boat on Hvar is especially convenient since you don’t need a license or skipper and we will teach you how to control your motor boat’.

If I were you I would not take it for granted as in Croatia you must possess a valid license for vessels at sea. There are some unofficial rules that under 50hp (horsepower) you don’t need a license, and these small boats usually have 5hp or 10hp. For boats over 50hp they will ask you to show them a license.
In Croatia, it is possible to obtain a license within one day, after passing the exam (usually 10 basic questions).
The exam must be registered in advance at least 7 days at the nearest Harbor Captains Office (Port Authority) where you want to pass the exam.
