We had the pleasure of doing a week of sailing around Croatia with skipper Marijo and hostess Marieta!
Marijo took us to some beautiful spots swim spots and was very helpful, he answered all of our questions and organised things like transport around the islands. Marieta made some wonderful food, we looked forward to brekkie and lunch every day!
Overall an amazing week, so relaxing and memorable
Our family of 12 chartered a boat through Mario of Europe Yachts Charter for the third year. We have chartered through other companies… but our experience with Mario is definitely the best. He is so helpful from the beginning to the end. I highly recommend Europe Yachts Charter and especially Mario. Croatia is by far our favorite place to sail… such a charming country.
We had a wonderful week with Marijo on the boat. We went from one beautiful bay to the next with crystal clear waters, and always got the best spots with our skipper. Great SUP cruises, wonderful card games, and if Marijo wasn’t on the boat, it was because he was being helpful tying other boats to the bay!
We were running a small flotilla but due to some admin issues on our side, we were left to book the yachts at very short notice. Mario was exceedingly helpful and managed to find the right yachts for us, even meeting our very strict requirements, for a very good price. They are able to offer a great selection of yachts in good marinas and the booking process went very smooth, even though we were late for check in. The staff did their best to help us with check in and explain everything about our yachts efficiently. We will definitely come back very soon.
We had one of best Skippers from Croatia. Filip Dumancic.
He is very experienced in Croatia and working Vessel Transfers outside of Croatia gives him the overall knowledge internationaly.
We had a great time, best teacher on bord.
7 days Trogir, Vis, Brac, Agana, Blue Lagoon on Bali Catspace 4 friends.
Highly recommend
The service, the boat and the marina was just perfect. Our young skipper, Antonio, listened to our ideas and came up with a fabulous itinerary for the week. Once he realized we loved nature and less crowds he took us to beautiful bays where we would start the day paddle boarding and swimming. We saw so many amazing islands and bays. We got off the boat in Hvar and biked around the island and had lunch in the countryside. He took us for coffee on the island of Vis and then we walked around the village and stopped at the fruit and vegetable stand. We bought fresh fish in Primosten and cooked it on the boat. All in all a dream vacation.
We went sailing with Filip and Petra and it was amaaaaaaaizing!!! We had so much fun! Filip and Petra were so kind :) Filip operated the catamaran with so much tranquility and confidence, found us the most beautiful spots for swim&chill and magnificent places for night stays in small charming bays. Petra is such an amazing cook! Her traditional Croatian dishes were a delight. Unbelievable how she managed to create these beautiful food in a catamaran kitchen! She spoiled us with astonishing breakfasts (blueberry pancakes!), cocktails, treats, just name it! We miss Filip and Petra already :’( until next time!
We had a fantastic holiday. Everything went smoothly and was as booked. Nada was most helpful, efficient and endlessly patient with all my ‘first time sailing’ questions. We were extremely lucky with our skipper, Filip and hostess, Petra. Their passion for Croatia enhanced and ultimately made our holiday. Petra anticipated our every need including wonderful Croatian dishes (and Mojitos! ) and Filip completely understood what we wanted out of our holiday from the start. He suggested and booked restaurants which we would never have found and ticked off all of our wishes including one last banana ride .
We’ve just wrapped up an absolutely magical week sailing in Croatia, and it was everything we hoped for. Made all the more special by our wonderful captain, Filip and hostess Lux. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
The scenery was breathtaking – endless turquoise waters, hidden bays, and picturesque coastal towns. Each place was more stunning than the last, and the sunsets we watched were nothing short of magical. We were able to try local cuisine that was only possible by boat.
Our captain Filip took our 13 year old son under his wing teaching him the ropes (literally!). Filip’s patience and willingness to share his knowledge was truly heartwarming. Our son very much felt like a member of the crew and had the best holiday ever.
This trip was an unforgettable experience – a week of pure joy and adventure! We can’t wait to do it again.
First experience and unforgettable experience with Europe Yachts Charter. Although late with booking, Mario and his team were fantastic in providing us with three superb sailing boats. Every aspect of our trip was made even better with smooth check in and very professional staff. We are definitely going to be back.
Rented Bali 46’ catamaran with captain and chef – Filipe was amazing, skilled and enthusiastic and so personable to have as our captain and guide. He arranged tours for us and docking – so convenient! Our chef was in culinary school and produced an amazing array of meals for us, we never wanted to leave. The boat was well appointed and well kept. The Croatian waters are amazing for sailing and each town a jewel.
My wife and I just got back from sailing the Croatian coast with friends. Our expert crew, Filip and Jelena made this the most relaxing vacation I’ve ever had.
Filip expertly guided us to amazing spots where we could soak in the culture, relax on secluded beaches, and enjoy the natural beauty of the islands. We enjoyed wonderful family run wineries and restaurants, swam in the clearest of waters, and walked through historic towns on several islands.
Jelena is an absolutely amazing cook and worked very hard to make sure we could kick back and enjoy every moment. She always has a smile on her face and is one of the kindest people I’ve had the pleasure to ever meet. Jelena is a Star!
Just a few days before the trip, we learned that the original boat we had reserved had an accident and could not be used. Mario very quickly found us a replacement catamaran so we didn’t have to stress before the trip.
We will be back and will certainly request the same crew for the next trip
We did so much research and spoke to so many charter companies and are delighted with our choice. The office were responsive and helpful to our many questions before the holiday and always courteous. We were delighted with our choice of catamaran, particularly loved that we had so many separate areas to hang out.
We were quite particular about our itinerary as we wanted to visit friends and take up other recommendations. Our skipper Matej planned the trip amazingly well, he took us everywhere we’d requested as well as some amazing private bays and traditional restaurants. Exactly what we had hoped for. He is an expert skipper and we felt very safe in his hands.
Sunčica is just the best hostess. Her attention to detail is incredible in everything from the cleanliness of the boat, her support to the skipper and her fabulous culinary skills. She planned and executed our meals beautifully, my only complaint is that I came away 3kg heavier after enjoying her hospitality. Matej and Sunčica were the icing on the cake of our holiday. We couldn’t have asked for a better team. Thank you.
A fantastic experience from beginning to end. This was our first time chartering and it won’t be our last! We inundated Mario in the office with dozens of questions and he patiently answered all of them.
Our catamaran, Marina was fantastic and exactly as described. The layout of the boat was great and we felt like we had plenty of space for everyone. The upstairs seating was our favourite space.
We had the most amazing team with us for the week, our skipper Matej really listened to what we wanted to get out of the trip which was for us spending more time in quiet remote locations rather than marinas, his local knowledge meant we found some amazing places and he always spent time to moor in the best spots.
He was supported by Suncica who was a fantastic hostess. She contacted us with menu ideas before we traveled and then did all the shopping and created amazing feasts for breakfast and lunch. I have never seen breakfasts like it, not just tasty but so pretty too!
Our children who were10 and 11 loved the trip and Matej and Suncica invested time in talking to them about sailing as well as helping them drive the tender which they loved. Nothing felt too much trouble.
I can’t recommend the experience and exploring the beauty of Croatia enough
