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.

Gordan was a very knowledgeable guide. It was nice, riding around, seeing all the beautiful views while learning about what we were seeing as well. He also was a pleasure to talk to and very welcoming. Overall, a great experience that I would recommend to anyone!

My positive feedback starts a week before the charter when contacted to let me know that we were expected and answered a couple of questions we had in advance of our arrival. On arrival the boat was in good condition as advertised. Everything worked. Handover was friendly and thorough. We had a great time exploring the islands off Split. On return the hand back was equally friendly, fair and thorough. The office staff were helpful and friendly holding some crew bags for a few hours.

My family and I had a great day on the water with our skipper, Jure. We were on a 23-foot Zodiac that was very comfortable for six family members, and went to several beaches and swimming spots, and a fantastic restaurant for lunch. Jure spends his summers in Hvar and knows a ton about the island and the culture. He gave us a few recommendations for other island activities (scooters!), and made sure that we had a very memorable visit to a beautiful part of the world. Five stars and more for SamBoat!!

We had an amazing day on the boat with Jure. The boat was extremely clean, well maintained and spacious. Jure was professional, skilled and extremely safe. He allowed us to help guide the day when it came to timelines and he maneuvered the boat with ease. We toured about 6/7 locations and had an amazing lunch. Thank you so much Jure for your hospitality and professionalism. Made for a great day celebrating on our honeymoon.

We had an amazing catamaran cruise and can wholeheartedly recommend both the skipper and the Catamaran “Mala” for short or longer trips. The boat was clean, very well maintained, and extremely comfortable. Everything was perfectly organized and always on time, while communication was smooth, friendly, and professional from start to finish. What made the experience truly special was the skipper himself — kind, approachable, attentive, and highly professional. From the beginning, he made everyone feel safe and comfortable on board by giving clear instructions and taking great care of the entire crew. He also created a fantastic atmosphere, choosing perfect moments for group photos, sunset stops in beautiful bays, and port visits. The cruise was safe, relaxing, memorable, and incredibly enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for great organization, a welcoming atmosphere, and unforgettable sailing memories Once again, thank you!

The boat tour was a fantastic experience. Our skipper Franco was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about the various locations we stopped at. He made every effort to give us an unforgettable experience, and succeeded at that. I am very happy with the trip overall.

Honestly what a fantastic experience! - when I booked he was working elsewhere and he dropped everything to come and provide us with the boat, he was arrived quickly! He provided easy instructions and taught us everything in detail. the boat was lovely and clean and comfy. Great Experiance, thank you! I wish you good fortune in the peak season!
