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!

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

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!

Mario's boat was fantastic for a day out around the islands from Trogir. Very spacious and comfortable for the 4 of us.

Unreal experience seeing the islands and sights that Croatia has to offer. Marco was the best skipper we could’ve asked for. Top guy, top experience.

We had the most amazing day with Antonio! The boat was absolutely beautiful and immaculate, and Antonio was a fantastic, patient host from start to finish. He made sure we got to all of our planned stops and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each one, even taking us to a lovely beach bar along the way. Our highlight was swimming in the Blue Lagoon. We were a group of 8 girls celebrating a hen do, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better day - we had the best time! If you're thinking about booking with Antonio, please do. Highly recommend! Thanks Antonio for making it an unforgettable day.
