D&A Boat Rentals was founded by Alenka and Damjan in 2016 with the aim of offering motorboat enthusiasts the opportunity to explore the island on the water and discover the beautiful corners that can only be reached from the water.

We are happy family of 5, living on the sunniest island in Croatia. Always doing our best to help you to spend unforgettable moments in our place. We are pleased to advise on sightseeing, rentals and local cuisine. Our little advice, experience and numerous contacts could help you to plan your stay on the island. Our family business, D&A boat rental, can make it more enjoyable to explore the beauty of the island and nearby islands.

We also offer guests apartments in the harbor town of Vrboska with outstanding view on town of Vrboska.

Highly recommended! Super friendly owner, very fair prices, and good advice. We rented the smallest boat (6 HP) for a whole day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. for €75 (September). There was a small map of the coast and tips on where to go swimming. Since it was quite windy, the owner kindly advised us that if we get seasick easily, we shouldn't rent the boat. He even offered us the option of briefly heading out of the bay and, if the waves were too much for us, simply returning without having to rent the boat. That's super fair; the sea wasn't a problem for us, and we had a perfect day!

We had a great experience with D&A rent boats - from the rent process, pickup and up to the return of the boat. Damjan was extremely helpful and friendly, taking us through the details of not only the boats itself, but also the northern part of the island we wanted to explore. Overall we had an amazing time on the boat!

A great experience with our family of 7 on a great boat, with the best captain Marco! He’s great, very knowledgeable, very good communications, best guide. Saw so many places and lovely spots. Highly recommend. It was easy to communicate with owners and set this up.

The best boat rental on Hvar!
We rented two different boats this and last year and they were "boat" great. The service is very friendly and professional. Be sure to check them out as they also offer excursions and transfers. Thanks alot to Damjan and the team.

Great guys to deal with. We hired slow plastic boat for the day, although it was not that slow and we covered a good area on the day. Reliable and easy outboard to start and control. They brought boat to resort and after short training session off we went for the day.
Visited Lantina and Jelsa and had a great day on the sea and around Jelsa
Thanks guys

Recommended! Had an amazing day with the company, although we were late to rent for the day we called the number they state on their site, one employee showed up in 5 minutes to take care about the renting. Very friendly local helped us with the overall things to know! Thank you D&A!

Had an amazing day out on the speedboat to Korcula with Damjan as our skipper. On the way back, we stopped at a couple of amazing spots to swim and relax on the water.
Top notch professional, knowledgeable and friendly service throughout. Highly recommended!

We had the most brilliant experience with D&A boats. A speedboat day with a skipper seeing Pakleni Islands and hidden coves and a great lunch spot. Then our own little boat day out the next day. Utterly magical and just made the holiday. Excellent service, so helpful. Would highly recommended and can’t wait to come back.
