Coming as a group? Hire a whole boat“We had given up on seeing dolphins after two other trips elsewhere. Twenty minutes out on Delfino the captain cut the engine and there were six of them around the bow. My daughter still talks about it.”
“Proper fish, proper wine, and nobody rushing you. The swim at Red Island was the best water we found all week.”
“Booked on my phone the night before, paid the deposit and the rest on board. The ticket told us exactly which boat and where. No hunting along the riva.”
“A family business and you feel it. The son drove, the father told stories about every island we passed. Small boat, big day.”
“Three hours in Poreč was just right, and coming back along the coast in the afternoon light was half the point.”
A resident population of bottlenose dolphins hunts along the Istrian coast, closest to shore in the calm of the evening. Our skippers grew up on this water. They read it the way you read the street you grew up on.

A modern motor yacht, a traditional lunch boat and a little wooden boat for island days. Three different ways to meet the coast, all starting from Rovinj.
Modern motor yacht
Our newest boat and the one with the dolphin on her side. Wide decks, shade where you want it, and a high bow made for spotting fins before anyone else does.
Traditional wooden boat · 130 seats
Built from wood the old way and big enough for a long, slow day. Bonaca is what we call a dead-calm sea, the kind of day she was made for: lunch off the grill, wine at the table, a swim off the stern.
Small wooden boat
Galeb means seagull. She is the smallest of the three and the nimblest, slipping into coves and island beaches the big boats can't reach. Short trips, small groups, close to the water.

All three boats leave from the riva, the harbour front below Rovinj old town. Delfino uses berth 1, Bonaca berth 2 and Galeb berth 3. Your ticket names your boat, what she looks like and her berth. If you need a hand, find the Delfino booth on the riva and we'll walk you over.
They are wild, so nobody can promise. What we can promise is skippers who have spent their working lives on this stretch of sea and know where the pods tend to feed at dusk. We never chase, feed or crowd them; when we find them, the engine drops to idle and they choose how close to come.
Lunch of grilled fish, or chicken if you prefer, with bread and salad, and wine at the table. Juice and water are free all day. Beer and other drinks are sold at the bar on board.
Yes. Pay a deposit online to hold your seats and settle the rest on board, in cash or by card. If you'd rather not think about it on the day, pay the full fare online.
If we cancel a trip because of wind or weather, you choose: a full refund of everything you paid, or seats on another day. We decide on the morning of the trip and message you straight away.
Children from 3 to 11 pay the kids' fare shown on every trip, and children under 3 travel free on a lap. We carry life jackets in every size. The Old Town Panorama is the easiest start for little ones.
Sun cream, a hat and water for the day trips, swimwear and a towel for the trips with a swim stop, and a light jacket for the evening dolphin cruise. Each trip page lists what to pack.
On the Lim Fjord Fish Picnic we stop at the campsite jetties along the bay. Pick your boarding point when you book and we'll collect you there in the morning and drop you back in the afternoon.
Yes, for groups, schools, agencies, weddings and company outings, before, during and after the main season. Bonaca takes up to 130 guests. Message, email or call us and we'll put together a day around your group.
Schools, clubs, agencies, weddings, company days out. Bonaca seats 130, and we sail before and after the main season too. Send us a date and a headcount and we’ll build the day around you.
