BUILT IN 1951 · BETINA · TRADITIONAL WOODEN LEUT
01 / DO I NEED TO BOOK IN ADVANCE?
Yes. Advance reservation is required for all our tours. We recommend booking as early as possible, especially during the summer season, as the number of guests on board is limited.
02 / WHERE DOES THE TOUR DEPART FROM?
Our tours depart from Novigrad in Dalmatia, in the Zadar region. Please note that there are several places called Novigrad in Croatia, so make sure your navigation is taking you to Novigrad in Dalmatia — not Novigrad in Istria.
03 / WHAT TIME DOES THE DAILY TOUR START AND FINISH?
The Daily Tour departs at 10:00 AM and returns to Novigrad at approximately 4:00 PM. Private and custom tours may have different departure times and durations depending on the arranged programme.
04 / HOW MANY GUESTS CAN SVETI ANTE TAKE?
Sveti Ante can accommodate up to 12 guests. For larger groups, we can organise additional boats.

Yes. Children are welcome on board. Children under 3 years travel free of charge, while special children’s prices apply from 3 to 10 years.
06 / ARE DOGS WELCOME ON BOARD?
Yes! Well-socialised dogs are welcome to join you on board. We just ask that they are comfortable around other people and guests so everyone can enjoy the day.
07 / IS LUNCH INCLUDED IN THE DAILY TOUR?
Yes. Lunch at a local seaside restaurant is included in the Daily Tour, with a choice of a fish or meat menu.
For private, group, team building and special occasion experiences, lunch depends on the programme you choose.
08 / ARE DRINKS INCLUDED?
Yes. Water, soft drinks and wine are available on board and included in the Daily Tour.

Swimming stops on other tours can be arranged depending on the chosen programme.
10 / WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
We recommend bringing swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat or cap. It’s also a good idea to bring a light layer, especially outside the hottest summer months.

Yes. Sveti Ante has a toilet below deck.
13 / WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?

If conditions are not suitable for the tour, it may be postponed or cancelled. We will contact you if weather conditions affect your booking.
14 / CAN THE ROUTE CHANGE?
Yes. The planned route may be adjusted depending on weather, wind and sea conditions. Any changes are made with the safety and comfort of our guests in mind.
15 / CAN I BOOK THE WHOLE BOAT FOR MY GROUP?
Yes. Our Private Tour reserves Sveti Ante exclusively for your group, with no other guests on board. The boat accommodates up to 12 guests.

No problem. For larger groups, we can organise additional boats and coordinate the experience together. The programme can be adapted to your group size and preferences.

No. Sending the booking form is a booking request. Your reservation is confirmed only after you receive our confirmation.
