Our customer experience

Viola Macolić Šarinić

Easy to rent (online), but can also be done on site if there are still available boats. Very friendly staff, it is not necessary to have a license to drive a boat, you get a short course on the spot. The engine is electric, you can't go faster than 6 km per hour, easy to drive. You will also receive a map that indicates the route through the canals you can navigate. We rented a boat for 2 hours, and it is possible for longer. A maximum of 8 people can fit on the boat, you can take drinks and food with you and have a picnic while driving. Great experience - definitely to recommend! 👍😊
