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.

Great if you have inexperienced people on board. I would say that if you don't have hard-core sailors, passage plan about 20 miles a day.

Beautiful sailing area. However, the sailing conditions were not ideal during our week (rain and thunderstorms) Beautiful marinas and beautiful bays for anchoring or mooring at the buoy. Restaurant prices are not cheap, rather too expensive!

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.

We had an excellent experience with this charter company! The check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free, making the whole process very pleasant. A special thanks goes to the technical contact Josip, who was simply outstanding – available day and night, he provided quick and friendly advice whenever needed and solved every user issue we had during our trip. His professionalism and helpfulness gave us great peace of mind on board. Unfortunately, the generator stopped working midway through the journey and could not be fixed right away. But technical problems can happen, especially on boats, and this was clearly not the fault of the charter company. Thanks to Josip’s constant support, we still felt well taken care of and could fully enjoy our time. Overall, the service was reliable, professional, and customer-oriented. We highly recommend this company and will definitely come back!

Excellent service and a fabulous boat. We booked a 2pm check in and when we arrived the boat was ready. We completed the paperwork quickly and were then met by the handover technician within 20mins to talk us through the boat's features. Mamma Mia is a only a year or so old, so is in fabulous condition. Everything works as expected and we didn't have any issues. When we handed the boat back to Sun Life Charter, they were great and once they had checked the boat, they refunded our deposit immediately. I would defiantly recommend this boat and this company.

Bogoslav and crew were absolutely amazing! I booked this beautiful time piece Yacht Velar for my proposal to my now Fiancé and so much assistance and flexibility was provided I was absolutely shocked! The crew were extremely friendly and everyone generally wanted to help! Bogoslav made us all feel at home and checked in with us consistently throughout the day. We planned our day how we liked it at our tempo and Bogoslav & Crew were always there to support us with ultimate flexibility and care. I have rented yachts before and this experience although not the most expensive one has definitely topped the rest! I have massive respect for this man, helping me have my dream day the way I wanted it exactly how I wanted it. I had 10 of us on board and all 10 of us were left astonished at the care and service. Also, the jet ski on board the boat is very fun! 10/10 would recommend Yacht Velar. Absolutely AMAZING!

WE were very satisfied and pleased with the attitude and professional service provided by this company. The hand over and return were simple and straight forward. Any minor issues were quickly and satisfactorily dealt with. The yacht was clean and tidy when collected and was returned in the same condition. An added personal touch by the owner was to leave fresh figs and liqueur on the saloon table as a welcome; very much appreciated. We would definitely use this company in the future and recommend them to all our friends and sailing acquaintances. Bob Burns On behalf of the ROMEOS sailing group.
