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

Amazing boat. Skipper Johnny was incredible, showed us around the blue lagoon and red rocks. Took us to a vineyard for some local wines and a beautiful restaurant for lunch where the fish was freshly caught. Plenty of stops to swim and enjoy the water and snorkel.

This rental was the highlight of our trip! Jure was our skipper and he was incredibly knowledgeable, so kind, so patient with us when we asked him to take pictures, and showed us the best spots in Hvar! The communication before the rental was impeccable, from the upfront price of fuel, to the constant updates of where our boat was and where to meet (which they met us right outside of our hotel which was so nice!) The boat was very nice and looked brand new! It had great seats and the bluetooth worked so well could blast music through the speakers. They brought us a filled cooler of drinks, snorkel gear, floaties and excellent vibes. We could not recommend this company and their boat more!! a million out of 10!!
