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

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.

From start to finish this was a great hire experience. Tonci replied quickly and the arrangements for were very clear and everything went very smoothly. The boat was extremely well presented and maintained. Everything worked perfectly. Extras such as an ice box with frozen blocks, Bluetooth speaker and snorkel masks were much appreciated. Tonci provided some great locations to visit and to have lunch. Returning the boat was simple. We refuelled and paid only for the fuel used and handed the boat back. I would highly recommend hiring from Tonci.

Very good, although there were lots of different contacts to communicate with in order to make final arrangements.

It was a great rental experience, we rented a Ryck 280 for 6 days. The boat was in great condition and just as described. The handover was very easy and communication was great throughout the whole process.

this was a simply perfect day. Julian was a great skipper and guide - giving great confidence. The boat was in A1 condition and layout, very spacious for 9 including a toddler - allowing room to move. We asked to visit a restaurant and we're taken to a brilliant, and reasonably priced, place. Snorkling spots were amazing. Great responsiveness from Karlo to book and help.

The perfect day. Tom was fantastic and so welcoming. We loved the whole experience from the boat, the views, the hospitality from Tom and his partner, the beautiful locations that they took us, and the free drinks and snacks they gave us. This experience really exceeded our expectations. Thank you
