The Value for Your Money
This isn’t a fancy, luxury cruise — it’s a spirited party on the water. You’re paying for the experience of dancing on a boat, swimming at a beach club, and the beautiful Dalmatian scenery. For many, that makes it worth it, especially if you love energetic groups and music-filled days.
The Realities and Drawbacks
No experience is perfect, and reviews point out some issues. One major concern is last-minute cancellations or poor communication. As one reviewer shared, she received a message just 30 minutes before the trip saying it was canceled with no prior warning, which was frustrating and disrupted her plans. She also mentioned that attempts to get clarification about rescheduling weren’t answered promptly.
Plus, because food and drinks aren’t included, you’ll want to bring your own or plan to purchase at the beach club, which can add to the overall cost. The tour is also not suitable for children under 18, making it a straight-up adult party experience.
Who Would Love This
This tour is perfect for young adults, groups of friends, or anyone wanting to combine a scenic boat ride with an energetic party. If you’re comfortable with last-minute changes and love dancing in the sun, this will likely be a highlight. It’s less suited for travelers looking for a quiet, relaxed day or families with kids.

You’ll love the combination of music, sun, and socializing, and the views during the cruise are genuinely stunning. It’s a good-value experience that can be a highlight of your Dalmatian trip if you’re after a fun, energetic day out.
However, be mindful of potential communication issues and remember that you’ll need to budget for food and drinks separately.

It’s best suited for those who thrive in lively environments and are ready to dance on a boat and lounge at a beach club amid stunning scenery.
