My friend and I had the best day with Niksa. The boat was pristine and so comfortable. Niksa was the perfect guide taking us to the most beautiful swim spots and caves. He truly made our experience the best it could be. We highly recommend booking with Niksa and can’t wait to come back!!

This rental was the highlight of our trip! Jure was our skipper and he was incredibly knowledgeable, so kind, so patient with us when we asked him to take pictures, and showed us the best spots in Hvar! The communication before the rental was impeccable, from the upfront price of fuel, to the constant updates of where our boat was and where to meet (which they met us right outside of our hotel which was so nice!) The boat was very nice and looked brand new! It had great seats and the bluetooth worked so well could blast music through the speakers. They brought us a filled cooler of drinks, snorkel gear, floaties and excellent vibes. We could not recommend this company and their boat more!! a million out of 10!!

Bruno was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. Friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful with any questions or issues that came up. He explained everything about operating the boat clearly and efficiently, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. The boat itself was spotless, reliable, and looked fantastic in my photos. I’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future.
