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

My friend and I had the best day with Niksa. The boat was pristine and so comfortable. Niksa was the perfect guide taking us to the most beautiful swim spots and caves. He truly made our experience the best it could be. We highly recommend booking with Niksa and can’t wait to come back!!

We had a fantastic day out on the Pasara Istranka! Since we had limited experience, Mario was incredibly helpful, giving us a thorough demonstration of all the controls. We were able to visit the beautiful Blue and Green caves, as well as Sunj beach. My kids absolutely loved it. I would definitely recommend this for a fun family day on the water!

Amazing day out! Marija was excellent at responding to text & emails which put your mind at ease. Transfer from hotel to boat was in a beautiful clean car & very helpful driver. Anna our skipper was attentive, friendly & knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant chosen for lunch was perfect. A fantastic day & well worth the money.

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.

Beautiful sailing area. However, the sailing conditions were not ideal during our week (rain and thunderstorms) Beautiful marinas and beautiful bays for anchoring or mooring at the buoy. Restaurant prices are not cheap, rather too expensive!
Schönes Segelgebiet. Allerdings waren in unserer Woche die Segelbedingungen nicht optimal (Regen und Gewitter) Schöne Marinas und schöne Buchten zum Ankern oder an der Boje liegen. Restaurantpreis nicht günstig, eher zu teuer!

The weather was very changeable during the 2nd week of our cruise. The anchorages at the anchorage or in the port are not all well protected from the winds. The sailing conditions are sometimes very difficult. We spent 4 rough nights due to the poor weather conditions. The winds are sometimes and shifting which makes sailing very difficult.
La météo a été très changeante lors de la 2 ème semaine de notre croisière. Les mouillages à l'encre ou au port ne sont pas tous bien protégés des vents. Les conditions de navigation sont parfois très difficiles. Nous avons passé 4 nuits agitées suites aux conditions météo dégradées. Les vents sont parfois et tournants ce qui rend la navigation à la voile très difficile.
