Great service from Aldo, answered all my questions during booking quickly and accurately. Helping me with understanding parking m, meeting points etc clearly. Boat was great. Good condition, very clean. Lots of space. Aldi face me a good tour of the boat before allowing me to take it out with my family as a bare boat hire (with license). Thank you!

Our day with Dino was amazing - he picked us up promptly at 9am, asked what we wanted to do and suggested a few additional places, which in combination made for a fantastic day - first stop Hvar, then Bay of Zdrilac at Pakleni Island for blue water swimming, then we had an amazing meal at Restaurant Stormorska (delicious food at a fabulous water front location), then more blue water swimming in the Bay of Necujam before heading back to Split. Dino was perfect host - easygoing, friendly and professional. Would 100% recommend.

We had an amazing trip with Bogoslav, the breakfast, bbq lunch and afternoon snack was included in the price. We had a stag do of 14, everyone had the best day, lots of time to enjoy cruising, time in coves to swim, use the SUPs and snorkelling gear included. Would highly recommend for any celebration!

Martin's boat was exactly as advertised, and he was a great skipper for our group of 10. Communication before the rental was excellent. We had a nice afternoon sailing to a beach where we could swim and relax. I would highly recommend!

Great rental experience. Very good communication from Stefania and what to expect regarding handling, port fees, and fuelling. Carlo explained how to handle the boat and met us to return us to Sorrento Port. Very reasonable price for a full day hire, even though we didn’t use the full day, great value. Thanks!

The Digoin / Roanne Canal is a well hidden secret. Very few other boats. Amazingly friendly and helpful lock keepers, and excellent halt nautiques to stop at....for water, electric and spotless toilets. I was often, the only boat there.
