Boat rental went smoothly! The boat itself was great and easy to use. I would recommend to anyone hiring from Ivan.

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

We have just completed our second rental of the First 36 this year. Another great experience with both the Euronautic team and the First 36 is behind us and what a great experience. The First 36 is simply different than most boats available for rent. It is so responsive, neutral, fast, comfy, spacious and super easy to sail. At first looks the boat looks more like a regatta boat but having tried many different boats the last 15 years, this is really a fantastic boat for both family leisure and sailing fun. Hope to see many more Firsts from Beneteau/Seascape on the water next summer so that many others can enjoy the fun and joy possible with this boat. Highly recommended, both the boat and the team behind. Thanks.

I would 100% do it again, really organised and helpful staff. We rented the Adria 500 which is quite a small boat but nothing beats the price of 100€ plus a few euros fuel.

Our experience with Krzysztof was nothing less than superb, we were looked after like royalty on a boat that was so well looked after it looked like it was being used for the first time! We had the best trip, taken to a number of bays where we could swim, relax and use the seabob. Lunch had been arranged for us at a beautiful restaurant and we were made to feel special the entire day. Just walking on board in the morning to see an amazing selection of fruits and snacks made us feel really welcome and every detail had been considered to make this a trip of a lifetime that our family will remember for ever. Thank you so much!!

I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and enjoyable. The boat was in good condition and easy to operate. This was a 5-star day from every angle Thank you guys!

What a fantastic week. “Blue Sky” is a stunning vessel and is a credit to her German owner and the Sunturist Team in Zadar that look after her. Everything that was booked and ordered was present on the vessel including the largest bathing towels I have ever seen - well worth the small extra charge ! The Sunturist 24Hr call-out phone was answered immediately early one morning when I rang it to check up on the operation of the vessels pumps following heavy overnight rain. Very economical 8 litres/ h diesel consumption on relaxed passage making at 6.5 knots. We will be back. Thanks to Samboat and Sunturist charters who I highly recommend.

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.
Tolles Segelrevier mit zahlreichen Varianten der Routenwahl. Sehr zu empfehlen: Der kleine Aufstieg zum Gipfel auf der Insel Zut. Ein fantastischer Rundblick über die Kornaten und die angrenzenden Inseln.

Some of the marinas are expensive for overnighting on them every night. Had hoped to go on a swing buoy in a mooring field for a couple of nights, however the weather conspired against us. All marinas have good facilities. Biograd na Maru is a nice town with a big marina.

Very beautiful sailing area with lots of small islands and a few nice places. However, it was confirmed again that it is not for beginners. In a rapidly approaching thunderstorm at anchor, the wind direction changed again by 180° with up to 7 Bft (5 in gusts announced). We saw many lost anchors, torn sails and tears again (5th to 6th September '24). Anyone who cannot handle such situations should look for another sailing area and always ask the locals about the weather.
Sehr schönes Segelgebiet mit vielen kleinen Inselchen und ein paar netten Orten. Allerdings hat sich wieder bestätigt, dass es nichts für Anfänger ist. In einem schnell aufziehenden Gewitter vor Anker hat sich die Windrichtung mal wieder um 180° gedreht mit bis 7 Bft (5 in Böen angekündigt). Wir haben wieder viele verlorene Anker, zerfetzte Segel und Tränen gesehen (5. auf 6. September '24). Wer solche Situationen nicht beherrscht, sollte sich ein anderes Segelgebiet suchen und auf jeden Fall immer die Locals nach dem Wetter fragen.
