What to expect

  1. Sea Organ
    Pass by
    During the cruise from Zadar, the boat gently passes along the waterfront where the famous Sea Organ is located — a unique installation that transforms the movement of the sea into music.
  2. Preko
    45m
    After a scenic boat ride from Zadar, you arrive in the charming village of Preko, located on the island of Ugljan — known for its laid-back atmosphere, clear sea, and authentic Dalmatian feel.
  3. Kali
    1h 15m
    As your boat approaches the bay of Batalaža in Kali, you’ll enter one of the most authentic fishing villages in the Zadar archipelago. Known for its deep connection to the sea, Kali offers a glimpse into real island life — where fishing boats, stone houses, and crystal-clear water define the landscape.

    Just steps from the shore, you’ll find Srdela Fish Snack, a simple but vibrant spot that has become a highlight of many boat excursions.
  4. Zadar
    Pass by
    As your boat cruises along Zadar’s coastline, you pass by Foša, a small, historic harbour located right at the entrance to the Old Town. This area was originally part of the city’s defensive system — a Renaissance-era moat (“foša”) built to protect the city walls
  5. Zadar
    Pass by
    As your boat cruises along the coastline, you’ll pass beneath or alongside the Zadar Bridge (Gradski most) — the main connection between the Old Town peninsula and the newer part of the city.
