No matter which boat you select, the itinerary stays the same. Choose this option to stay aboard the Bellezza.
Starting from the city of Split, where Roman emperors once reigned, get onboard a luxury yacht for an 8-day e-bike and boat tour. This is island hopping at its finest: you will visit five islands (Mljet, Vis, Korčula, Hvar, and Brač), and soak in its fascinating history, natural marvels, and local’s hospitality. Aboard the boat you will have numerous facilities and options, so it’s guaranteed you’ll never have a moment of boredom on this tour! The tour ends in Dubrovnik—if you’re a fan of the route you’ll be taking, and the dates don’t suit you, check out the other option, the one that departs from Dubrovnik and ends in Split.
Meet your guide and your team at the yacht in Split harbor between 2 and 2:30pm. By going on a guided city tour with your group, you will get the chance to see inside the former Palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian and learn about its transformation into the city that it is today. The boat will remain docked in Split, giving you the opportunity to experience Split’s nightlife.

E-bikes
All rental e-bikes are high quality pedelecs, most of which are fitted with Bosch motors with extra battery range. They are characterized by their relatively light weight and great components. Some of the fleet is equipped with other motor systems. They are a true set of wings for anyone who needs a little ‘tail wind’ to make their ride that little bit more enjoyable.
Gravel bikes
Gravel and cyclocross rental bikes can be ridden over a variety of terrain. These bikes run perfectly on smooth asphalt surfaces as well as on gravel trails. The frames are extremely robust while still light. The relatively wide tires provide good traction when cycling on loose surfaces. Cyclocross bikes allow for adventurous rides without compromise.
