Overall experience:
Offer was fair. Booking process was perfect. Tea did a great job - Thanks a lot !!! But ... the catamaran Macawi from NAVIGARE was badly maintained although it was stated by the check in that every thing is ok. When embarking 3 of 4 doorhandles felt off but nobody came to fix it. So we did the repair by ouerselves. This happend a few times during the cruise as well. Very good feeling in a case of emergency when you want to grap your life vest from the cabin and the door cannot be opened. When sailing we found that 3 battens were not fixed. So we couldn't sail althought the wind was strong. So we used engine power - thats what you want if you are on a sailing boat :-( The other day we found the cause and as we coincidenally had some spare screws we could fix it by oueerselves as this took much less time then waiting for a technician half a day. We also found that the reef line was not correctely feeded. The domestic batteries have been poor (every night a 2 a.m. the low battery alarm went on - very relaxing !) althought the yacht was equipped with solar panels (one was defenitely broken - which I mentioned at check in. Answer: we do not have spare parts). But when we returned and did list all the defects the technician confirmed all of them but he could not offer any compensation. He supposed to make a report to the management. We wrote a report to the basemanager. But there was no response over weeks. This is not a good habbit of customer care of NAVIGARE. (On their web page the customer is the king - but not in real life) It took weeks and a lot of effort to convince the Navigare that all the things were not how they shold be. Ad the end we got a little compensation. But this is not customer care like it should be ! If you book with NAVIGARE take a very close glance to the yacht - take photos of everything as a proof - an tell them by writing to fix it immediately. If you communicate or call you do not have any proof and they will respond that they did not get any complaint.

Overall experience:
Absolutely fabulous.

We chartered this Sun Odyssey 389 for a two week one way trip from Split to Dubrovnik. We got inputs and ideas from many sources such as: Sail Magazine, Daniellis, Cruising Guide books and Google Earth. We quickly realized that our original plan of visiting all the major islands was a little too optimistic as it would mean too little time to properly enjoy the islands and villages were we would stop. We therefore dropped Vis and Lastovo from our plan and concentrated on Solta, Krknjas, Brac, Pakleni, Scedro, Korcula and Mljet. We also had two extra days either side of the 14 day charter to explore Split/Trogir and Dubrovnik. The trip was enjoyable beyond our wildest dreams. The beauty of the islands and the friendliness and competence of the people have left a lasting impression on us.

We visited beautiful islands (Hvar, Vis, Korcula, Solta), wonderful ports and bays. We had a wonderful time

It was fantastic time spend on Lagoon 450 with fantastic Skipper - Marko Zidić. With a pure heart I recommend Marko as a professional helmsman, an expert on the region, culture, wine and food. Top of the Top !!!!!!!

Overall experience:
My family and I truly enjoyed our first experience on a catamaran around Šolta island

We left Šolta and then sailed to Vis island where we had a guided tour with Marko (highly recommended), same day we had wine testing; after that we went to Stari Grad and sailed around it before sailing back to Šolta. We had in Martin Strika an excellent skipper, knowledgeable and discrete at the same time (based on his performance, I would have rated the overall trip with 4 stars, but based on the comment below I stayed with a 3 star feedback) The catamaran, although old, was ok a part from a broken toilet that made our first two nights (until it got repaired) quite disgusting

Overall experience:
The trip was excellent, regardless of the yacht not being on the level, as in the previous years. Our crew - the same as last year - is second to none

The trip that we organised months ago and even chosen the places went smoothness. We even chosen the crew which was again GREAT! To be pointed though the shape of the yacht and even service in the port which was not satisfactory - the crew cabin had no bed nor head. At the time of booking we were told there is a cabin but NOT that the cabin is basically storage which gave us no cabin for the crew. As we needed 1 cabin less in the last minute, it worked out fine (thanks God.....bit again, it was pure luck). The master's head had sink and shower problem. In the base although requested and possible, we were NOT provided early check-in which is rather disappointing......The charter itself was awesome though

Overall experience:
Captain Chubba and Hostess Maria were incredible. Our trip was memorable, luxurious, and relaxing.

What a bucket list vacation! Our yacht was perfection in size and capability. We spent a week with Captain Chubba and Hostess Maria and we wouldn't do it again without them. They were friendly, helpful, and fun! Our kids loved being around them "helping" on the boat. The food was top notch in taste and beautiful! We felt so spoiled (and full!). Each island was hand selected by our captain and we were smart to trust him completely. We had a private cove some days and a bustling town on others - a perfect balance. This might just need to become a regular item on our vacation schedule going forward. Thank you for a perfect time!
