Incredible day with Adriano and crew. The food was spectacular, the journey very well out together with time to explore, swim, etc. The boat itself is beautiful with plenty of space to relax, sunbathe, or sit at the table in the shade. Perfect - thank you!

The experience was great. Mario gave an informative and engaging brief before we set off which helped us feel at ease with captaining the boat ourselves. This is an experience I would encourage everyone to do if they are in Dubrovnik as it allowed us to explore the beautiful coast at our own leisure. 10/10

Such a great boat for a family. Loads of space, comfortable, plenty of seating & space to sunbath & take in the scenery. We hired this boat for a day to go to Dugi Otok, sadly due to strong winds we couldn't get all the way round, so we got off at the port & they organised a taxi to take us over to Sakuran beach (which is beautiful). The boat is also slow, so does take some time. Would be perfect for island hopping & few stops closer to Zadar. Great staff, very friendly & helpful and also very accommodating. Would definitely recommend

István was an AMAZING captain and gave our family group of 10 the best day out on the Hvar and Brac coast. Could not have been more hospitable, well organised and professional. He’s also just a lovely guy and went out of his way to ensure we had a lot of fun. Totally flexible and happy to meet your expectations. What a legend!

It’s hard to put into words how great and hospitable Adriano is, and how amazing our experience with him and the boat was last week Our family had to evacuate from the wildfires affecting Omis, and Adriano reached out knowing we were staying in the area, checking if we were okay and offering use of his boat to sleep on if we needed, whilst we were wondering what to do. We took him up on it and are immensely grateful Despite being up all night helping people in his community he was still willing to go on our boat trip the next day! Though we rearranged for a few days later. Even ignoring everything else that happened, the boat trip was a special day. The BBQ was incredible, they took us to some amazing swimming spots, and the town of Pučišća was lovely As if that wasn’t enough, we managed to drop multiple things overboard throughout the day which they retrieved for us! You couldn’t ask for two better people who will provide an amazing day, and truly look after you Cheers guys!

Best experience of the holiday! Thank you so much. Branko gave us lots of options to choose from and flexibility with how long we wanted in each place. A great experience & a must do. The boat was perfect & had everything we needed including cold box for drinks, snorkels and floats - we were very well looked after

Wow! Where do we begin. Never had a better day, not just on holiday but in general. The atmosphere was electric. The passion from Jonny (spelling may be incorrect) was unreal. Such a positive, fun guy. We want to say a big thank you for making our trip so spectacular. You have a special place in our hearts. Xoxo Liverpool girls

Great sailing area with numerous route options. Highly recommended: the short climb to the summit on the island of Zut. A fantastic panoramic view of the Kornati and the neighboring islands.

Great if you have inexperienced people on board. I would say that if you don't have hard-core sailors, passage plan about 20 miles a day.
