Gliding into Trogir or landing by tender on Čiovo means stepping into eras layered one upon another—Greek, Venetian, medieval—visible in stone facades, hidden courtyards, and seaside cafés. Whether aboard a private booking with Split Boat Rentals, a tailored split yacht rental, or a guided split boat trip, you’re in for a day where history drifts in with the tide.
Why These Islands & Town Deserve Time
- Trogir features UNESCO streets where ancient arches frame café tables
- Čiovo offers sandy coves and relaxed anchorages away from busy piers
- Both deliver coastal culture without resort crowds
In just a short hop from Split, the feel changes— a cultured pause before evening lights back in town.

Docking right at Trogir’s waterfront means you step off your split yacht rental straight onto centuries-old pavement. Charter flexibility lets you linger by the marina while others visit.
Joining a Shared Tour
