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.
