A Swiss national with an insatiable appetite for adventure. Pascal has spent over 30 years navigating the world's oceans — from the Mediterranean to the South China Sea, where he lived for 11 years. A licensed private pilot for more than two decades, he approaches every journey with precision and care. Twelve years ago, he discovered Hvar and never left. He knows every cove, every current, every secret anchorage.
Cap Camarat on the Šibenik river — one of Croatia's most spectacular waterways. This is what it feels like to be on board with Pascal.
Hidden coves, the Blue Cave, Pakleni Islands. Swim, snorkel, music on the boat.
Stars above, bioluminescent plankton below. Every movement in the water turns to light.
Pascal picks you up from Split Airport by boat. Your holiday starts the moment you step aboard.
In the late afternoon, Pascal takes you far from the lights of the coast to enjoy a magnificent sunset over the sea. As darkness falls, you anchor on open water. You jump in. And then it happens — every kick, every stroke, every movement produces a pulse of electric living light.
This is bioluminescent plankton — microscopic organisms that emit light when disturbed. The phenomenon is natural, unpredictable, and completely unforgettable. No two nights are the same.
The Adriatic is one of the few seas in the world where this occurs with enough density to swim in. Pascal has been running these night cruises for years — he knows exactly where to go, and when.
One of the oldest towns in Europe — 2,400 years of history on the most beautiful island in Croatia. Stari Grad sits at the head of a deep bay, sheltered from the open sea, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.

"This holiday exceeded all expectations. We were greeted by Pascal who is an outstanding and attentive host. The house is beautiful, clean and well-equipped. There is also a large and lovely pool where both children and adults enjoyed a dip. Shops, restaurants and the beach are within a 5–10 minute walk. We highly recommend booking a full-day boat trip with Pascal around the beautiful island of Hvar — we stopped at various bays to swim in turquoise water, watched the sunset from the boat, swam with bioluminescent plankton and much more. All of this together made our holiday in Stari Grad truly unforgettable."
"Amazing location with beautiful views of the marina and surrounding area. A short walk to lots of restaurants, a supermarket and beaches. The outside area is excellent — somewhere always in shade if you need it, and lots of space."
"This was just about perfect and Pascal was an amazing host. Location, amenities — it had it all."
"Great pool and location close to shops and restaurants. Very friendly host."
"Lovely three bed villa within a stone's throw of the centre of Stari Grad. Pascal and his wife were very welcoming hosts. We also rented Pascal's boat for the day — the highlight of our 2 week holiday in Croatia."
"Pascal's Sunset Boat Trip was hands down one of the best experiences of our holiday. From the moment we stepped on board, Pascal made everyone feel so welcome. Watching the sun go down over Hvar, with great music and stunning views, was truly unforgettable."
"I really loved the boat trip. Pascal showed us new places around the island and made us feel really welcome. Sunset was amazing."
"The sunset boat trip was amazing. We saw the island Hvar in all of its glory. Pascal with his energy made everyone feel good and welcome."

Bioluminescence is a rare natural phenomenon where marine plankton emit light when disturbed — making the water glow electric blue as you move through it. Pascal Adventure offers a unique private night cruise from Stari Grad marina. You anchor far from shore in total darkness, jump in, and every stroke in the sea glows. This experience is offered exclusively by Pascal and is found nowhere else on Hvar island. From €49 per person.
Pascal offers a private boat transfer directly from Split Airport to Stari Grad marina. The journey takes approximately 45 minutes and costs €600 including fuel — no ferry queues, no buses, no waiting. You step off the plane and straight onto the Adriatic. Your holiday starts the moment you board.
The villa starts from €460 per night for the whole property (up to 6 guests), 7 nights minimum. Includes exclusive access to villa, pool, terrace, and all amenities. Book direct on hvar.vip: best price online, complimentary sunset cruise, and 10% off all boat trips.
Stari Grad is one of the oldest towns in Europe and the best-kept secret on Hvar. Quieter and more authentic than Hvar Town, it sits at the head of a stunning bay, with a beautiful marina, local restaurants, shops and a beach all within a 5-minute walk. From Stari Grad marina, Pascal can reach the Pakleni Islands, Blue Cave, Vis, and Korčula — all within a day's sailing.
