Planning a Blue Cave tour from Trogir
A Blue Cave tour from Trogir needs a closer look at the start arrangement. One excursion offers a Trogir boat meeting point by Kamerlengo Castle, another sets the start through the selected Split or Trogir option, and another collects guests at Trogir's North Gate for a transfer to Split. Those are different ways to begin a day bound for Biševo.
The practical comparison is therefore about more than a departure city in a title. Match the meeting point, transport sequence and day length to your accommodation. Our Blue Cave travel guide explains the separate sea journeys, while the Split departure guide covers boats starting there.

Compare the RIB with an option-dependent start, the open-air speedboat meeting by Kamerlengo and the North Gate pickup connecting to a Split departure.
Trogir meeting points and booking options
The RIB excursion offers Split or Trogir as its starting area. The exact meeting point follows the option chosen. It includes a skipper and guide, snorkelling equipment, windproof jackets and onboard safety equipment. Life jackets are available from the crew. Food, hotel pickup and Blue Cave admission are excluded. Select the Trogir option if that is where you intend to start.
The open-air speedboat excursion has a Trogir meeting point in front of Kamerlengo Castle. Its instructions request arrival 15 minutes before the tour with the booking voucher ready. It also has a separate Split meeting point at Matejuška Pier; that address belongs to the Split arrangement. Keeping the two addresses distinct avoids travelling to the wrong waterfront.
With that open-air boat, the included equipment covers snorkelling gear, wind jackets, life jackets and safety equipment, plus an English-speaking driver or guide. An arranged skip-the-line service aims to reduce the cave wait. Treat it as an access arrangement by that excursion, with admission and waiting time considered separately.
Direct boat meeting or a transfer to Split
The excursion collecting guests at the North Gate of Trogir Old Town continues by transfer to its Split meeting point, at Obala Lazareta 3. The boat journey starts from Split. This option suits a traveller who wants a Trogir pickup within the excursion arrangements and is comfortable with the extra land stage.
Its start instructions distinguish seasonal arrangements, so use the departure time attached to your date rather than a general morning time. The included boat services are speedboat transport, bottled water, snorkelling equipment, an English-speaking captain and crew, insurance, taxes and VAT. A Trogir pickup describes the beginning of this sequence, not a direct boat crossing from Trogir to Biševo.
| Arrangement | Start detail | Published excursion length |
|---|---|---|
| RIB with skipper and guide | Split or Trogir according to option | Allow a full day |
| Open-air speedboat | Kamerlengo Castle for the Trogir option | 600 to 720 minutes |
| North Gate pickup | Transfer to the Split meeting point | 600 minutes |
Use those durations as whole-excursion information, not as uninterrupted travel time or time inside the cave. Leave your evening plans flexible around the return arrangements. If your main decision is the combination of islands, the five-islands route comparison is a more useful next step than choosing only by the town name.
Cave admission and weather
The RIB excursion explicitly excludes Blue Cave admission. Keep a separate cave budget when comparing it with the other boat services, and use the local ticket information for the distinction between the approach journey and the cave visit. A boat excursion booking and a local cave ticket serve different stages.
At Mezuporat, visitors continue on local concession boats to the Blue Cave. Waiting can affect the day's sequence. South wind, high water and rough sea can alter the route or prevent entry. Cancellation and refund terms belong to the selected excursion, so avoid building your plans around a promised cave visit regardless of conditions.
Questions about Trogir departures
Does every Trogir booking board a boat in Trogir?
The North Gate pickup excursion includes a transfer to Split before the boat stage. The open-air speedboat has a Trogir meeting point by Kamerlengo, while the RIB start depends on the option.
Is a priority service the cave ticket?
The open-air speedboat includes an arranged service to minimise waiting. That service and the local admission charge are separate considerations; it does not set a fixed waiting time.
How much time should I leave?
Set aside the day. The open-air speedboat lists 600 to 720 minutes and the excursion with a Split transfer lists 600 minutes, with meeting and return arrangements relevant to your evening plans.
