Group planning
Coordinate boats, dining, transfers, timing, and guest notes through one concierge instead of a dozen separate chat threads.
Overview
Keep the group together, not the logistics
Group travel is easiest when one person is not left juggling every boat, driver, dinner, and guest question alone. The plan can be shaped around the occasion, the base, the guest count, and the pace you want.
Access Adriatic is a private concierge for the Split–Hvar corridor that plans group trips and events end to end: the boat day everyone remembers, the dinners at the villa, the wine afternoon, the transfers between all of it, and the moment — a birthday toast, a first look, a proposal — the whole weekend is quietly built around.
Group travel has one structural problem, and it is never the destination. It is that one person ends up holding the plan: chasing a boat company between meetings, negotiating dinner for fourteen, guessing whether the villa’s dock can take a morning pickup. We exist so that person sends one message and gets their weekend back. The shape changes with the occasion — a bachelorette on Hvar runs on champagne-at-anchor energy, a milestone birthday has grandparents and a cake conspiracy to manage, a company retreat needs the water day to land cleanly between work sessions — but the method stays the same: one thread, real per-person costs before anyone commits, and every booking held by us rather than by the group chat.
The water is usually the centerpiece. For eight people it is one good boat; for thirty it becomes a coordinated multi-boat day from Split, with departure points, boat speeds, and lunch timing matched so the group stays together on the water instead of scattering across the harbour. Group dinners are usually the easiest piece to lock first — a private chef at the villa with service staff scales calmly from eight guests to a full celebration table — and the wine afternoons, beach clubs, and photographers slot in around those two anchors.
Weddings run deeper than a single weekend, so they carry their own pages: guest boat days and welcome weeks around a Croatia wedding, elopements on Hvar for the two of you plus your favorite people, and proposals kept properly secret until the ring is out.
On timing: May, June, and September give groups the kindest mix of weather, availability, and price, while July and August reward long lead times. Boats, chefs, and villas that suit larger groups are the first things to sell out in peak season, so guest count and dates are the two details worth sending early — everything else can stay loose. The mechanics of quotes, deposits, weather calls, and confirmations are laid out in the booking guide; the short version is that nothing is treated as booked until the skipper, chef, or venue has confirmed it.
Start with the guest count, dates, base location, comfort needs, timing, and occasion.
Shape boats, drivers, chefs, venues, or experiences around how the group will actually move.
Keep inclusions, weather plans, deposits, and final confirmations clear.

Wedding parties
Couples, planners, families, or wedding guests who want boat days, dinners, transfers, and guest moments around the wedding week.

Friends and family groups
Larger private groups that need comfort, timing, kids' needs, dietary notes, and several moving parts handled together.

FAQ
Group planning questions
What group sizes can be supported?
Group fit depends on the experience, date, route, what each boat, venue, and villa can hold, transport needs, and comfort expectations. Share the likely guest count early so suitable options can be checked.
Can multiple boats be arranged for one group?
Often, yes, but multi-boat plans need careful matching around departure point, route, speed, skipper coordination, weather, fuel, and group comfort.
Can dining or catering be included?
Group dining, private chef, lunch stops, and catering-style requests can be coordinated where the right local chefs and kitchens are available. Inclusions and staff responsibilities are clarified before pricing is confirmed.
How should we think about budget?
Budget depends on group size, date, boat or venue type, transfer needs, food and drinks, service staff, timing, and how many moving parts the plan carries. Avoid fixed assumptions until options are checked.
How far ahead should groups plan?
More lead time is better for peak season, weddings, retreats, corporate groups, and plans with several moving parts. Last-minute requests can be possible, but availability narrows quickly.
Are deposits or cancellation terms handled?
Deposits, payment timing, cancellation terms, weather policies, and responsibilities vary by skipper, chef, and venue. They are clarified before the group confirms a plan.
