The Beach Day Kit exists because the gear question on a Croatian beach is not the same as the gear question at a villa. You need:
- Battery only. No mains on a beach.
- Salt-tolerant. The Adriatic spray will kill anything not IP-rated.
- Walk-in friendly. No wheels work on sand. Whatever you bring, someone carries.
- Loud enough for an outdoor crowd. Indoor speakers get lost on open beach in the wind.
This package solves all four — for €235/day, delivered to the nearest marina, ferry terminal, or parking lot, and you walk the kit the last 100m onto the beach.
What’s in it
1× Soundboks Gen 4 — the biggest battery speaker we rent. 126 dB peak SPL, and rated IP65 (electronics) — the best in the catalogue, so it handles light rain, sand spray and getting splashed at the pool edge. Battery is ~40h at mid volume (~6h at full). 16.1kg, single-strap carry handle. Bluetooth 5.0 input, or a 1/4” jack if you bring a DJ controller. Covers a 40-100-person beach gathering without breaking a sweat. If you want a controller in that jack, remember there’s no mains on a beach either — the Denon DJ Prime Go+ is the only deck we rent that runs off its own battery with no laptop attached.
1× Sennheiser EW-D wireless handheld — the toast moment, the “happy birthday” moment, the “we’re getting married on this beach” moment. Plug the receiver into the Soundboks 1/4” jack, take the handheld 30m down the sand, broadcast quality, 8-hour battery. Beach ceremonies are a real chunk of this package’s bookings — if that’s what yours is, wedding sound equipment rental walks through the vows-speeches-reception split properly, because those are three different sound problems in one day.
1× EG18 colored smoke grenade pack (4×) — the sunset photo moment. Pull-pin, 90-second wall of color, cool-burning (safe to throw into saltwater after — no fluid residue, no fire risk). Pick 4 colors when you reserve: pink, red, blue, purple, orange, yellow, green, white. This is the Mediterranean-Instagram aesthetic in one tube.
What it costs end-to-end
Component à la carte total: €175 (Soundboks) + €75 (Sennheiser) + €80 (smoke pack) = €330/day.
Beach Day Kit bundle: €235/day. Savings: €95/day.
For a 3-day beach week: €591 total + delivery to the nearest marina/lot + your damage hold (refundable, €750). A 6-day yacht-and-beach week: €1,125 + delivery + hold. Both are under three and six times the day rate because the smoke pack is charged once, not once a day.
The bundle rate is flat per day — it doesn’t taper on longer bookings, because the 29% discount is already in it. On anything approaching a full week, ask us to price the items individually at their weekly rates instead and we’ll quote whichever is lower. One thing that never tapers either way: the smoke pack is a consumable you keep, so it’s charged once, not per day.
When to skip this and rent something else
- Group under 10 people on a small beach — overkill. Rent a single Bose S1 Pro+ at €85/day instead. Same hand-carry weight, half the volume, fine for small groups.
- Mains power available (covered terrace, beach club with sockets) — get more dB per euro from a mains-only setup like the Mackie Thump 215 pair (€175/day).
- Indoor / covered villa — the Soundboks’s IP65 + bass-tuned-for-outdoor character is wasted indoors. The JBL PartyBox 710 (€110/day, built-in lights) is better for inside.
Still deciding? We put the Soundboks Gen 4 against the Bose S1 Pro+ and the PartyBox 710 on weight, dB and battery — the three numbers that decide whether the speaker makes it onto the sand at all.

We don’t drive the gear onto the beach — local rules vary and most Croatian beaches don’t allow vehicle access. We hand it over at the marina / lot / ferry terminal and you walk it from there. That handover, the refundable damage hold and the collection window are all spelled out in how renting from us works.
