SeaBob Rental in Split: High-Speed Underwater Scooters & Snorkel Adventures
Turn the Adriatic into your playground: SeaBob rentals out of Split let you race along the surface, dive quietly beneath it, and snorkel reefs without a heavy dive setup. Fast, intuitive, and beginner-friendly, it’s a different way to know Croatia’s coast.
The Experience
Before You Go
Check battery and session length
Confirm session duration and battery limits before launch—typical enjoyable runs are 60–120 minutes to avoid low power mid-ride.
Protect the seagrass
Avoid riding directly above Posidonia meadows and follow local markers to prevent damage to protected seagrass.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen
Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect marine life and reduce irritation if you snorkel after riding.
Board from a safe spot
Use a sandy or low-rock access point and secure the craft when exiting to prevent slips and gear loss.

Conservation Note
The Adriatic hosts protected Posidonia oceanica meadows; operators recommend avoiding contact, anchoring on seagrass, and using reef-safe products.
Split’s waterfront grew from Roman maritime infrastructure around Diocletian’s Palace into a centuries-old port, giving the coast a layered seafaring culture.

Common Questions
Do I need previous experience to ride a SeaBob?
No—providers give a brief hands-on safety and operating briefing; the controls are intuitive for beginners.
How deep can a SeaBob go and is it safe for snorkeling?
Most SeaBobs allow dives to about 2.5 meters, suitable for close-up snorkel observation but not deep diving; always follow the operator’s depth limits.
Is there an age or weight limit?
Minimum age is typically 18 for solo rentals; operators may have weight or health guidelines—check when booking.
Can I take the SeaBob from a chartered boat or from shore?
Both are common—confirm pickup logistics with the operator; shore launches often require calm conditions and suitable entry points.
