The flagship of the One Day Escape fleet is the Colnago 40 speedboat in Split. Colnago Marine made this 12-metre aluminium boat, which is quick, comfortable, and safe for full-day island tours and private transfers along the Dalmatian coast.
The aluminium hull does a better job of handling rough seas than fibreglass ones. Colnago Marine designs every boat for use on the Adriatic Sea for business, not just for weekend cruising. They are meant to be used every day in real conditions. The end result is a boat that stays stable and comfortable even when the wind and waves pick up.
The Colnago 40 speedboat is different from most tour boats in Split because it has a fully enclosed, air-conditioned cabin with 14 seats. Come inside to get away from the sun or wind. Go outside to the open sundeck and feel the breeze from the sea. Both choices are always available.
The boat also has a toilet and shower with fresh water on board. These small things can make a big difference on longer trips. WiFi keeps everyone in touch. USB ports charge phones. Standard are towels and snorkelling gear.
There is a Cummins diesel engine with 560 horsepower at the back. The boat can go faster than 25 knots, but that’s a comfortable speed for cruising. It takes less than an hour to get from Split to Hvar. It takes about 90 minutes to get from Split to the Blue Cave on Biševo. Quick enough to get there and smooth enough to enjoy the ride.
Up to 12 guests per trip. With fewer people in a group, you get more space, more attention from the crew, and more time to swim at each stop. The Colnago 40 speedboat in Split offers both scheduled group tours and private charters. You get the same boat and comfort, but you can choose how you want to use it.
