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.

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. From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear this was going to be special. The crew struck that rare balance of being genuinely warm and welcoming while also being total professionals. The sailing itself was magic. Crisp wind, turquoise water, and a route that took us past hidden coves you’d never find on your own. We anchored in a quiet bay for a swim break, and the water was so clear you could see straight to the bottom. What really set this trip apart was the pacing. Nothing felt rushed. There was plenty of time to swim, snorkel, sunbathe, and just soak in the views. Istvan shared local stories and tips, which made it feel less like a tour and more like being shown around by a friend who happens to own a sailboat. thank you Istvan! hope to come back next year!
