Romantic Sunset Cruises
Sunset Cruise from Split, Croatia
Watch the sun melt into the Adriatic from your own private boat. Split's sunsets are legendary — golden light hitting Diocletian's Palace, the islands turning pink, the city lights coming on as you sail back. A sunset boat tour from Split turns an ordinary evening into the highlight of your entire trip. This is the most romantic thing to do in Split, and our captains have perfected the experience over thousands of cruises.
Book Sunset CruiseWhy a Sunset Cruise is the #1 Thing to Do in Split
Most travelers see Split's sunset from a crowded waterfront cafe. The view is fine — but it's not the same. From the water, you see the city walls turn gold, the islands silhouette against the sky, and dolphins occasionally surfacing in the calm evening sea. It's the moment people come back from Croatia talking about for years. We've made it our specialty for couples, anniversaries, proposals and special occasions.

When to Book
Sunset times in Split vary throughout the season — around 8:30 PM in June and July, 7:00 PM in September, and 6:30 PM in October. We schedule departures 90 minutes before sunset so you arrive at the perfect anchor point with time to relax before the show starts.
May to October is the season. June, July, August have the warmest weather and calmest seas — but also the busiest demand, so book at least 3-5 days ahead. September is our personal favorite: the seas are still warm enough for a swim before sunset, the sun sits lower in the sky for that golden quality of light, and the crowds are thinning out.
If you're planning a proposal or special celebration, book at least 1-2 weeks ahead so we can coordinate every detail with the captain. We've helped dozens of guests pull off the perfect surprise — and we love being part of those moments.
What to Wear & Bring
Dress casually but bring a light layer — once the sun drops, the breeze off the water can be cool, even in summer. A light sweater or pashmina is perfect. Flat shoes or sandals work best on a boat. If you're celebrating, feel free to dress up — our boats are clean and comfortable.
Bring your phone or camera for photos (the golden hour light is incredible), sunglasses for the first hour, and a sense of adventure. Everything else — drinks, snacks, cushions, music — is provided by us. If you want to swim before sunset, bring a swimsuit and towel; some cruises include a short swimming stop at a hidden cove before anchoring for the main event.
