Amazing boat, amazing boat owner. The boat was new and had everything we needed. Karlo is a very flexible owner and allowed us to change plans last minute due to weather. Totally recommend, thanks again !

We rented the Jeanneau Nc 37 for our Family trip around Makarska. It was a beautiful day, thx for the owner of the boat and our Skipper too and her very helpful collegue. It was not the easiest day because of a little windy water but the crew and the boat solved everything. I hope we will see them again! ️

Antonio is an amazing host. Everything went perfectly smoothly, the directions were on point, as well as the amazing skipper, Mile, who life up the vibes and was a pleasure to be on the boat with. We rented a boat for a day trip to go to the nearby islands where we did cliff jumping and other fun activities. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something similar.

We had an amazing time with Ivo. The boat is extremely comfortable and clean with great ability to walk around and enjoy the front ans back of the boat. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and built the most beautiful itinerary of stops for our full day. We spent just the right amount of time in each place and really got a chance to experince Croatia. We loved it. Would strongly recommend Ivo. You won't be disappointed!
