Frequently Asked Questions

Do you drive to Srima and Tribunj?

Yes! Vodice, Srima, and Tribunj are practically connected - we cover all three with fixed rates. Just specify your exact address (hotel name, apartment address, or marina pier) when booking.

Can you accommodate sailing crews with provisions and gear?

Absolutely! This is one of our specializations. Minivans have extra trunk space for provisions (food/drinks for a week), duffel bags, and sailing gear. Common scenario: 6-8 person crew + 10+ bags + shopping bags of provisions. We drop as close to your assigned marina pier as regulations allow.

Can you stop at the supermarket for provisions?

Yes! Common request for sailing crews. We can stop at Konzum or Plodine supermarket in Vodice en route to the marina. Mention when booking. Shopping stop adds ~30 minutes to the journey.

Do you provide transfers to/from Hacienda nightclub?

Yes! Pre-booked nightlife transfers available. Drop-off at club entrance, return pickup timed for closing (3:00-4:00 AM) or on-call when your group is ready. Safer than walking on the main road at night. Minivans for groups of 8.

What about parking in Vodice during the summer?

July-August parking nightmare - nearly impossible to find spots near Blue Beach or the center. Paid parking lots fill by 10:00 AM. This is exactly why private transfer makes sense - eliminates the need for a rental car in Vodice. You arrive, we drop at your hotel/apartment entrance.

Can I book a round-trip (arrival + departure)?

Yes! Book both transfers together. Common for sailors: Saturday afternoon arrival (marina check-in), following Saturday morning departure (boat handover). Also available for hotel guests and day trip excursions.

What's the payment method?

Payment in cash (EUR) directly to the driver at the end of each transfer leg.

Travel Tips: Vodice Visitors

Based on extensive experience with Vodice transfers:

  • Marina timing: Charter companies typically hand over boats at 17:00 on Saturday. Afternoon flight arrival works perfectly.
  • Provision shopping: Konzum and Plodine supermarkets are well-stocked. Can stop en route or walk from the marina (5 min).
  • Parking reality: Don't rent a car for Vodice stay - parking nightmare July-August. Walk or use taxis within town.
  • Best months: June-September for swimming/nightlife. July-August busiest (and most expensive).
  • Nightlife peak: Clubs start filling after midnight, peak 1:00-3:00 AM.
  • Blue Beach: Gets crowded July-August. Arrive before 10:00 AM for a good spot.
  • Tribunj escape: When Vodice is too crowded, walk 30 minutes to Tribunj for a quieter atmosphere.
