Ciovo is a popular holiday destination in central Dalmatia. It is located very close to the mainland and is connected by a bridge with the town of Trogir. The island covers an area of 28.8 square kilometers and consists of compact villages with a unique charm. The most popular ones are Okrug Gornji, Okrug Donji, and Slatine. Each of these villages has low traffic, plenty of sun, and clear waters, making it ideal for groups looking to rent a boat in order to enjoy a peaceful vacation, away from the city. Before you rent a boat in Ciovo and spend your days hitting the beach, there are a few sightseeing options for you to get to know the culture of the place. Near Slatine you will find Our Lady of Prizidnica, built in the 16th century in honor of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. It is situated between steep rocks just above the sea and has exceptional views over the Adriatic coast. By all means, you can walk through the old city of Trogir and Split before you begin your sailing adventure. Visitors are always fascinated by its historical monuments, small streets, and works of art that both Split and Trogir offer.

By renting a boat in Ciovo, you can explore beautiful beaches, hidden bays, and inaccessible coves in complete privacy. The island of Ciovo has two small islands, Drvenik Veli (Big) and Mali (small) that are connected to the port of Trogir and Split. Here, you cannot miss Vela Rina, Solinska, and Krknjasi, small coves most often visited by yachts. The two main settlements known as Okrug Donji and Okrug Gornji offer many sandy and secluded beaches. The former is the most westerly village on Ciovo, whereas Okrug Gornji is central, just 2 km from the center of Trogir. You have the option to rent a boat in Okrug and explore the 2-km-long beach, known as “Copacabana.” You will find that there are also many excursions with a motorboat or speedboat to the surrounding islands of Fimija, Kraljevac, Solta, and Brac. There are also many beach resorts, numerous bars, restaurants, and plenty of watersport activities in Okrug. Labadusa and Duga Beach are located between Okrug Gornji and Okrug Donji and are quiet options outside the everyday roads, ideal for enjoying a relaxing cruise.

Facing Split and Trogir, on the coast of Kastela bay, is the small tourist village known as Slatine. You can rent a boat in Slatine and explore a coastline filled with lagoons, cliffs, rich vegetation, and stone beaches. We recommend you hire a catamaran or sailboat and plan a 3-day cruise from Slatine to neighboring islands, such as Solta, Brac, and Hvar. For those who love one-day excursions, do not miss the chance to stop by Kava Beach and the Arbanija beaches. These are perfect options where you can escape from other crowded beaches on the island. They do not have many facilities, which is why we recommend you to rent a catamaran or sailboat with a skipper to guarantee a special sense of peace and relaxation.
