Split: Blue Lagoon & Trogir Boat Tour with Lunch and Drinks

The best part of this day is the mix of sea time and old-town time. You get a catamaran cruise, two swim stops, lunch, unlimited drinks, and a visit to Trogir, so the day feels like more than a simple boat outing. I like the easy rhythm: swim, eat, wander, swim again, then sail home with music.

I also like that coffee, beer, wine, soft drinks, and water are included, along with fruit, cakes, and a chicken salad. The main consideration is the group size, which can reach 76 people. This is a social boat day, not a quiet private cruise, and wheelchair users cannot join.

Key points to know before booking

• Two swim stops: Enjoy the Blue Lagoon and Fumia Bay near Čiovo Island.
• Trogir adds culture: Walk the UNESCO-listed old town between the two sea stops.
• Drinks are included: Coffee, beer, red and white wine, soft drinks, and still water are available.
• Lunch is simple and practical: Expect Summer Blues chicken salad, fruit, and cakes.
• The boat sets the mood: Music and a livelier return sail make this more social than a standard sightseeing cruise.
• Plan for a full outing: Check in 30 minutes early at dock number 4 in Split.

A sea day with a useful change of pace

The Summer Blues mega catamaran excursion is designed for people who want more than a boat transfer. You spend part of the day in the water, part in Trogir, and the rest moving through the Adriatic with food and drinks close at hand.

That variety is the tour’s main strength. A pure swimming trip can feel repetitive, while a town tour in the summer heat can leave you looking for a place to cool off. Here, the two parts balance each other. You can swim at the Blue Lagoon, walk through Trogir, then return to the coast for another swim at Fumia Bay.

The atmosphere matters, too. This is not presented as a silent cruise with a guide speaking all day. Music is part of the experience, and the return trip becomes more festive, with dancing encouraged as Split comes back into view. If you enjoy a friendly, social boat scene, that final stretch should suit you. If you want a calm day with long stretches of quiet, choose your expectations carefully.

Boarding in Split at dock number 4

Your day begins at Obala Lazareta 1 in Split. Check in at dock number 4, arriving 30 minutes before departure. That early arrival is worth taking seriously, since a boat tour with a set departure cannot wait for late arrivals.

The meeting point is in Split, and the tour finishes at the same place. You do not need to arrange a separate return transfer. Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Glass objects are not allowed, so keep your packing simple.

Wi-Fi is included, though the real value here is being out on the water rather than staying connected. The tour is conducted in English. Since the boat can carry up to 76 people, arrive ready for a shared outing with a lively feel.

The Blue Lagoon: your first swim stop

The first major stop is the Blue Lagoon, known for clear water and open views across the coast. The plan is straightforward: swim, relax, take in the scenery, and use the boat’s drink service while you are there.

This is where your swimwear, towel, and sunscreen become essential. You can also expect fresh fruit as a light snack, which is a welcome touch on a warm day when a full meal would feel too heavy.

The Blue Lagoon stop is likely to be the visual high point of the morning. The water gives you the chance to cool down soon after leaving Split, and the catamaran provides a comfortable base between swims. You are not simply dropped at a beach and left to find your own way around. The boat remains central to the experience, with drinks and music available onboard.

Keep in mind that the Blue Lagoon is a shared stop rather than a private cove reserved for your group. The appeal comes from the setting and the easy access to the water, not from solitude. For a first-time visitor to Dalmatia, it is a convenient way to enjoy the coast without organizing a separate boat rental.

Trogir brings the history and walking

After the first swim, the tour continues to Trogir, a UNESCO-listed town with cobblestone streets and a compact historic center. You receive a guided walking tour, followed by free time to explore on your own.

This is an important break from the boat. Trogir gives the day a sense of place, not just scenery. You can walk through the old streets, take photographs, browse for a souvenir, or simply enjoy some time away from the water. The free time also lets you set your own pace after the guided portion.

Do not expect a long museum program or a full-day historical study. The visit is one part of a larger boat itinerary, so the town stop is best for getting an introduction and seeing the main character of Trogir on foot. If you want a more detailed look at every church, palace, and side street, you would need a separate visit.

I like this arrangement because it gives you structure without filling every minute. The guide gets you oriented, then you have room to wander. That combination works well for couples, friends, and families who do not all want to spend free time in the same way.

Fumia Bay and the second chance to swim

The second swim stop is at Fumia Bay near Čiovo. After walking around Trogir, this stop returns you to the part of the day most people are waiting for: a refreshing swim and time on the catamaran.

Two swim stops make the outing more useful than a trip with only one short water break. If you prefer the first stop, you can enjoy another chance to get in. If the first swim is not quite your thing, the second stop gives you another opportunity to relax by the water rather than ending the sea portion too early.

The tour describes the catamaran route as including Čiovo, and Fumia Bay is the second swimming area. You should think of this as another shared coastal stop, with the boat serving as your dining, drinking, and resting base.

Lunch, fruit, cakes, and drinks all day

Lunch is a Summer Blues chicken salad. It is a practical choice for a warm day on the water, giving you something filling without making the afternoon meal too heavy. Fruit and cakes are also included, adding lighter options for snacking.

The drink package is one of the clearest benefits of the $106 price. You receive coffee, beer, red and white wine, soft drinks, and still water without paying separately for each one. That can add real value on a full day at sea, especially if you would normally buy several drinks during a boat trip.

Still, keep the offer in perspective. The included meal is a chicken salad, not a restaurant-style lunch with several courses. The food is meant to support an active day of swimming and walking. If you have strict dietary needs, the information provided does not list alternatives, so you should confirm before booking.

I also appreciate that water and nonalcoholic drinks are included. You can enjoy the social side of the boat without treating alcohol as the main feature. Coffee gives the package a useful start-of-day option, while wine and beer fit the relaxed afternoon mood.

Music changes the mood on the way back

The return sail to Split is not treated as a quiet ride home. Music plays a central role, and the final part of the outing can turn into a dance session on board.

This is a good match for a group of friends, solo visitors who like meeting people, and anyone who wants a bit of holiday energy after the sightseeing is finished. The atmosphere was described as very friendly and easygoing, with an especially positive response to the crew and the overall mood.

The same feature can be a drawback for other passengers. If you are choosing this trip for a peaceful sunset-style cruise, the music and dancing may not be what you had in mind. The tour is built around fun and shared energy, not quiet contemplation.

The boat’s size helps explain the tone. With room for up to 76 people, you get the facilities and social atmosphere of a larger excursion rather than the privacy of a small sailboat. That is not a flaw, but it is an important choice point.

Is $106 a fair price?

At $106 per person, this is not the cheapest way to see the coast around Split. The value comes from combining several costs and activities into one day: the catamaran ride, two swim stops, lunch, snacks, unlimited drinks, music, and the Trogir visit.

If you already plan to book a separate boat trip, buy lunch, pay for drinks, and arrange your own transport to Trogir, the package can make financial sense. It also saves planning time. You have one meeting point, one return point, and one organized route.

The value is weaker if you mainly want a short swim or a private experience. You are paying for a full social day, and a larger boat may feel too busy if your ideal outing is a quiet trip with only a few people.

The included drinks are worth noting when comparing prices. Beer, wine, coffee, soft drinks, and water can quickly add up during a summer day in Croatia. The food is modest but useful, and the combination keeps you from having to search for lunch during the Trogir stop.

Who should book this catamaran trip?

I would recommend this tour to you if you want a simple way to combine the Dalmatian coast with Trogir. It works especially well for:

• Friends who want swimming, drinks, and music
• Couples who prefer a planned day with some independent time
• Families who enjoy boat outings and easy access to food and soft drinks
• First-time visitors who want to see Trogir without arranging separate transport
• Solo visitors who are comfortable in a social group setting

You should think twice if you need wheelchair access, since the experience is not suitable for wheelchair users. You may also prefer another kind of outing if you want a private boat, a quiet sailing trip, or a highly detailed history tour.

The strongest part of the plan is its balance. You are not stuck on the boat all day, and you are not spending the whole day walking in the heat. You get two chances to swim, a proper town stop, and a lively trip back to Split.

Practical verdict before you reserve

Book this excursion if you want the Adriatic in an easy, social package and like the idea of alternating between swimming and sightseeing. The Blue Lagoon, Trogir, and Fumia Bay give the day a clear shape, while the included food and drinks make the $106 price easier to justify.

Skip it if your priority is privacy, silence, or a small boat. For everyone else, this is a well-rounded day from Split, with enough variety to keep the outing from becoming one long stretch of sitting on deck.

The rating of 4.8 from 26 reviews fits the tour’s strongest qualities: friendly service, enjoyable swim stops, good food for a boat day, and an easygoing atmosphere. Pack light, arrive early at dock number 4, and expect the final sail back to Split to be the most energetic part of the day.
