Our Story

Fifteen years on the Adriatic. Secret coves, peaceful fishing villages, and sunsets devoid of crowds were all part of the experience. That feeling became One Day Escape. Custom boats, local crews with intimate knowledge of every hidden beach, and small groups seeking a genuine experience were all part of the One Day Escape experience. Not a tour. An escape.

Split's original boat tour specialists

One Day Escape is the leading boat tour operator in Split, Croatia. Custom-built Colnago speedboats with premium amenities. Thoughtfully designed excursions. Attentive, professional crew. Every detail crafted to deliver the best of Dalmatia.
Operations are guest-centric from start to finish. Great experiences don’t happen by accident.

Comfort, safety, and unforgettable moments

Every tour is designed with one question in mind: how to make this the most comfortable, relaxing, and unique experience possible?

The answer: extremely safe and spacious boats, routes that avoid the crowds even in peak season, and a crew that’s both caring and professional.

Step aboard and relax. The only requirements: good mood and a swimsuit.

Mission & Values

The Adriatic isn’t a product. It’s home. Everything comes back to one idea: showing Dalmatia the way locals experience it.

Local, not manufactured

The crew grew up here. They know which bays stay quiet in August, where the octopus salad is made by someone’s grandmother, which village still pulls in the catch by hand. No scripts. Just places locals take their own friends.

Keeping it small

Partnerships with family-run konobas, local fishermen, small harbours that never see cruise ships. When guests eat lunch on a trip, the money stays in the community. That matters.

Built for these waters

No fixed route, no strangers. A luxury speedboat, a professional skipper, and the Dalmatian archipelago at your pace. Perfect for couples, families, or groups who want privacy and comfort.

Protecting what matters

This sea gave everything. No interest in loving it to death. Small groups, responsible routes, respect for the environment. Not marketing. Common sense.

Every trip, tailored

Some guests want to swim at every stop. Others prefer wine and watching the coastline drift by. Attention is paid, adjustments made, and the day unfolds exactly as it should.

Reviews from our guests

We booked with this company due to the boat, it was extremely comfortable, covered, stocked with water and all the snorkel gear you would need. There are other tours on rigid, inflatable speed boats but having the kids with us we felt this was the best option.

Not the cheapest, but worth every Kuna! Only takes 13 passengers. Has enough seating inside and outside for everyone. Very pleasant crew and skipper.

I had such a great time on the full day excursion. The boat was comfortable and only seats 12 ppl so you have a better personalized experience.

This tour was worth every penny. Our crew was very knowledgeable and friendly. They even stopped for us to see some dolphins that were winning by.

What a great day! We saw the best of dalmatian coast. Boat was great, crew amazing… Can’t find enough words to recommend this company 😚

Frequently Asked Questions

We have a fleet of Colnago speedboats that were made just for us. These boats are not like regular tour boats. Each one is made for day trips along the Dalmatian coast. They have an aluminium hull that handles waves well and makes for a smooth ride. The boats are 12 metres long and have 500 horsepower engines, which makes them fast and stable.

Yeah. Every boat has a Bimini canopy over the deck and an enclosed, air-conditioned cabin where you can escape the sun completely. If you want to get a tan, there is also a sundeck in the back.

There can be no more than 12 people on each boat for group tours. We want to keep the number low on purpose. It means more space on deck, more time in the water at each stop, and more personal attention from the crew.

When you go on a group tour, you share the boat with other people and follow a set schedule. When you book a private charter, you get the boat and crew all to yourself for the day. You can also choose your own route, timing, and stops.

The cost depends on the boat, how long you want to stay, and where you want to go. Send us an email at info@onedayescape.eu with what you need, and we'll send you a quote.
