When you step ashore in Komiža or Vis Town, you’re not just visiting another coastal village—you’re stepping into a way of living defined by the sea. Just a few hours from Split via private booking with Split Boat Rentals, a tailored split yacht rental, or a curated split boat trip, these towns invite you to linger.
Why These Two Towns Matter
Komiža
An old fisherman’s town tucked in a bay, Komiža feels like a friendly conversation with the past. Its pastel buildings mark narrow lanes, and fishing boats bounce gently in front of family-run taverns.
Vis Town
Vis grew from a naval outpost into Croatia’s island answer to “cool authenticity.” A walk here means hitting open-air markets, sleepy squares, and sea-view cafés where every sip speaks of relaxation.
Arrival by Sea
Whether aboard a sleek yacht or a compact speedboat, the sail into either harbor offers its own quiet introduction:
- Private yacht rentals ensure you dock close, without worrying about schedules
- Split boat trips time arrivals so you catch the market or the best café scenes
Pulling up to the pebble beaches feels like unlocking a secret daily routine—one that’s been enjoyed for centuries.
What You Won’t Find in Guidebooks
- Home‑style flavor: Tavern owners greet you by name by day two
- Easy stroll‑ability: Bounce between beaches and bakeries in minutes
- Real fishing: Fishermen prepare your catch with ancient care
- A laid‑back tempo that’s rare after marinas and museums
Authentic Highlights

Park your boat, pick a terrace, and taste grilled seafood as locals toss nets behind their boats.
Bilo and Stiniva Beaches
In Vis town, take a short ride to quiet coves or let your crew guide you to sheltered swim spots.

The hike is quiet, panoramic, and easy. The payoff—a full-circle view of the island and open sea—is unforgettable.
