Trogir and Šolta in half a day: which short speedboat trip from Split?
Updated October 10, 2026 · 4 min read
The half-day trip that puts Šolta and the town of Trogir on one route is the Trogir tour with speedboat to the Blue Lagoon, 5 hours from €60.03. If swimming matters more than the town, the half-day three-island speedboat adventure costs €51.20 and has by far the larger review base.

Reading the three boat trips
All three speedboat trips last about the same time, so the real difference is the route. The three-island adventure is described as swimming and snorkelling around Veliki Drvenik, Šolta and Čiovo on a new luxury speedboat; its title lists Split and Trogir as departure points, but the description names no stop in Trogir itself. That is the trip for people who want water first and a town second.

The one with Šolta, the lagoon and Trogir
The Trogir tour with the Blue Lagoon speedboat links Šolta, the Blue Lagoon at Drvenik Veli and the old city of Trogir, with swimming and snorkelling on the way. Its description credits a crew of locals who have worked together since 2019. It costs about €9 more than the three-island trip with a much smaller review base (168), so choose it for the route, not for the rating.

The lagoon-first alternative
The Blue Lagoon and Trogir trip puts the swim first and the town on the return leg. At €55 and 4.5 stars it sits between the other two on price and below both on rating, so it mainly makes sense if you like swimming first and the town afterwards.
If you do not want a boat
The Diocletian’s Palace and Trogir tour is the only one whose description mentions no boat. It pairs two UNESCO sites, Split’s palace and Trogir’s old town, in a small group for €49.99, which makes it cheaper than every boat trip here. Choose it on a windy day or if the sea makes you uneasy, and expect no swimming.

Our recommendation
For a first half-day out of Split, book the three-island speedboat adventure: 4.9 stars from 1,711 reviews, the same score as the Trogir tour but on more than ten times as many votes. Take the Trogir tour if seeing the town matters, and see other short outings among the island tours.
