Other Tourist Scams in Split

Jet Ski Pre-Existing Damage Scam

Operators on Bačvice Beach and at the Stobreč and Žnjan beach areas rent jet skis at seemingly reasonable hourly rates but photograph only part of the vehicle before rental. On return they point out pre-existing scratches or dents and demand large cash payments — sometimes hundreds of euros — claiming you caused the damage. The damage was present before your rental and the operators rely on tourists being unwilling to involve police.
