Blue Lagoon, Trogir & iovo catamaran tour with Food and Drinks

If you’ve ever dreamed of slicing through the waves on a spacious catamaran, sipping wine, and discovering some of Croatia’s most scenic spots—all in one day—you might be eyeing the Blue Lagoon, Trogir & Iovo tour offered by Summer Blues. This seven-hour cruise promises a relaxing blend of swimming, sightseeing, and good food, making it a popular choice among travelers seeking a laid-back day at sea.

What we love about this experience is the chance to swim in the turquoise waters of Blue Lagoon—a true highlight—and explore the charming UNESCO-listed town of Trogir, with its maze of narrow streets and ancient charm. Plus, the all-inclusive drinks and lunch mean you won’t have to worry about extra costs or carrying around picnic supplies.

However, it’s worth noting that the tour involves quite a bit of travel (about 60 percent of the time on the move), which might not suit those looking for a fully relaxed beach day without the boat rides. This tour is perfect for travelers who enjoy a combination of leisure, scenic views, and light exploration—not to mention, a lively onboard atmosphere.

The Itinerary Breakdown

The day is divided into three main parts:

First stop: Blue Lagoon / Krknjasi Bay
Second stop: Trogir
Third stop: Fumia Bay on Iovo Island

Blue Lagoon / Krknjasi Bay

This is the centerpiece for many visitors — a stunning swimming spot with crystal-clear waters. The tour allocates about an hour here, giving plenty of time to swim, snorkel, and soak up the sun. You’ll be served fresh fruit on board, which adds a refreshing touch to the hot day. Several reviews mention the beautiful waters and the fun of floating on the nets at the front of the boat, although some travelers note that about 60% of the trip involves traveling, which can feel lengthy. One reviewer expressed disappointment about not being allowed to lay on the nets, but overall, most found the swim stop to be a highlight.

Trogir

Next, the boat pulls into Trogir’s historic harbor for a 1 hour and 30 minutes walk guided by local experts. This UNESCO-listed town is a treasure trove of medieval architecture, narrow cobbled streets, and outdoor cafes. Reviewers frequently mention the value of the guided tour, appreciating the insight into the town’s history and the opportunity to explore at their own pace.

One guest commented, “We loved that we had free time in Trogir to wander and soak up the atmosphere.” The visit offers a pleasant blend of sightseeing and leisure, perfect for those wanting a quick taste of Croatian culture without the pressure of a full-day tour.

Iovo Island / Fumia Bay

The final stop is a swim session in Fumia Bay on Iovo Island, another picturesque bay with calm waters. Lunch is served onboard here—a simple but tasty chicken salad with fruits, complemented by unlimited drinks like beer, wine, soft drinks, and still water. Several reviews praise the delicious food and generous drink options, emphasizing the value for money this provides.

The onboard food menu features chicken salad and fresh fruits, with vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free options available if requested when booking.
