Marko and Kristijan were great to rent from. Boat was perfect m for cruising the islands and exactly as described. Kristijan was extremely helpful and friendly in suggesting the best spots to visit, even on land for food and drink. Would absolutely rent from them again. A+ team. You’ll be glad to you chose them.

When we started we had a little problem with the fuel tank. I called Nevenko, he came to us immediatelly, he was very helpful even sent us a list with points to visit. I have no thing to complain about, can only recommend him. This is a good boat to have fun if you dont have a license for bigger ones.

Our boat trip with Johnny was great! He took us to some amazing beaches that we would have never found on our own and also an amazing lunch! I recommended this boat trip to anyone and we really enjoyed our day!

I was looking for a sailing experience for my family and some friend to celebrate my birthday. After searching through several other sites I came across SamBoat (thanks Gemini) and Capt Istvan listing appeared. Of course had to check the reviews first when I read this from Mateusz: "If you’re on the fence about booking this trip, stop scrolling and just do it. This was, hands down, one of the best days of our entire trip.". That was it...I was off the fence and Mateusz was spot on. Beautiful boat, super friendly captain (even with all the 5-13 year old kids), fantastic swimming spots, great food...what a great day. He even provided some sailing lessons to me and my children. If you are still reading, just stop and book. You will not be disappointed unless it because you missed your chance. Thank you again Istvan.

The experience was 10/10, we had the best day ever! Our skipper was so friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole day so enjoyable. We visited some incredible places and got to see so much of beautiful Hvar and the surrounding islands. Everything about the day was perfect. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough!

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.
