Vlaho is a highly skilled yachtsman and used his skills and worked hard to keep us under sail on a very light wind day. He recommended an excellent local restaurant on one of the islands for lunch and the food was fresh and beautiful. He asked us our priorities for the day, listened well, and created a great experience tailored to our preferences. We would most definitely choose to sail with him again, given the opportunity.

We had a fantastic day! Sailing, sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, and eating fish on Sipan—it was a wonderful day ?? Vito is an experienced and enthusiastic skipper who asked what we wanted. We were able to postpone the boat trip a day due to bad weather, which was very helpful. The boat is older than in the photo, but we were on deck all day, so it suited us perfectly. Thanks, Vito, for a fantastic day at sea!

Unfortunately, renting a sailing yacht turned out to be a major disappointment. From the very beginning, I practically had to ask for the sails to be raised – the skipper stubbornly insisted on using the engine. If I had wanted a motorboat, I would have rented one, not a sailing yacht… Worse still, the skipper, though friendly, was clearly inexperienced and didn't know the vessel well. With enough wind – around 4 knots – it should have been easy to sail. Instead, we were driven from point to point "for tourists," even though I made it clear from the start that we wanted to enjoy the sailing, not visit popular destinations. Furthermore, the vessel was not properly prepared for sailing – the lazyjack was tied up rigidly and couldn't be adjusted, making it impossible to lower it. The bimini was mounted in a way that blocked the boom, making it impossible to tack freely. Such shortcomings are absolutely unacceptable on a yacht intended for sailing. Overall, if someone is looking for a real sailing experience, I definitely do not recommend this offer.

The trip and the places Vlaho took us in his sailboat were amazing. We had the chance to sail with the wind for a while. Vlaho the owner and skipper at the beginning of our trip was really nice. BUT we felt that every time we stopped at the Restaurants he suggested us and we did not eat. He changed his attitude towards us and made us know that because we did not eat in those places and he obviously would not get his commission for taking us there he just got a little mad. In the other hand. We thought that we could bring our food and eat during our trip. That’s not true as well. He always push us to eat in those places to get extra money for him. He wasn’t open toward us so we could eat the food that we brought with us. He is a young skipper and owner and we hope with this review he’ll improve his matter towards his costumers and the way he try to get extra money. Thanks again Vlaho for letting us have this trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful time with our family of 4. Vito was a great skipper, and the islands we visited were stunning. We would book this again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend to others as a great way to spend a day exploring the waters and islands around Dubrovnik!

We had a lovely trip with Toni. The restaurant in which they make reservation is superb. Owner Vlaho was very kind to reschedule our trip due to the weather forecasts. Overall, I recommend this trip as a perfect getaway from the crouded cities. Best part is the sailing, when you can enjoy the sea in silence and tranquility.

Booked a 3 days sail on the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey, it was our first multi-day trip on a sail boat. Vlaho was super communicative and answered all of our many questions promptly and picked us at our hotel the morning of the departure. Overall, we had a great trip. Tony our skipper was really nice and skilled. We had one day with strong winds and we had a blast ! We sailed fast and he made us participated in the boat manoeuvers. Tony also suggested activities in the town we stayed at and organised dinner for us at the restaurants. The only down side was that the boat was changed without us being informed (Vlaho has 2 boats that he rent). We only realized it once we were far at sea on our first stop for swimming as I saw the boat model on it's side (ELAN 333). It did not change our trip significantly as the two boats are similar (same lenght, sails size and cabins size) but the Jeanneau we had booked seemed newer and in better condition looking at the listing. The boat we sailed was clean and functionnal but needed a little TLC in our opinion. Vlaho apologise for not informing us and offered an extra day for free (which we couldn't do because of our travel plan). He was upfront with his error and didn't try to hide or give false reason. Overall all I really recommend him, he is a super owner and you will have fun with him and his skipper.

Vlaho made this day an experience of a lifetime. He went above and beyond to make sure we were having an amazing time, that we were comfortable and that we saw more than we could imagine. Vlaho took us to spots that one could only dream of, you will not regret booking with him. Best money I’ve ever spent. Thank you again, Vlaho!!

An absolutely perfect experience with Vlaho! He picked us up promptly at 10am, and he had great communication up until we were able to find him on the dock, such as by sharing his location to help us easily find him. Vlaho has many friends across the islands and called up his connections to book us morning breakfast, lunch, and dinner (after departing from boat) at wonderful local spots. The lunch spot was family owned and they opened up lunch service just for us - it felt so special. He had a variety of ideas of things to do and pivoted easily when we changed our minds on what we wanted to do. He is super welcoming and happy to talk with you for the whole day or just as happy to sit in the background while you relax on the boat! We even stayed an extra hour on the sea as we were all enjoying ourselves too much to leave! I cannot wait to come back again and have another outstanding time with Vlaho. We booked Vlaho originally because he had such high reviews and he did not disappoint! Highly highly recommend.

This trip was great! Booked an 8 hour day. Got picked up/dropped off at our hotel. He brought us to a pretty hidden beach that he likes and to a great restaurant on one of the islands. We were able to sail all the way back to the port because the wind allowed it. It was so cool! Vlaho is very personable, and flexible with how you want your day to go. Highly recommend!!

One of the best trips we have EVER done! My husband, 4 year son and I spent 5 nights on this boat! The skipper was everything we could ask for! He took us to some of the best places around the islands and made us feel like we were apart of the locals. It was a beautiful adventure and I would highly recommend this boat and skipper. Thank you for the beautiful trip and life long memories. We will be back ❤️. Abi, Steve and Ted x

The island of Mijet and the other small islands around Dubrovnik are magnificent but over a week you will not go beyond (Korcula, etc...). I therefore do not recommend this rental for a week of sailing in autonomy but only for a cruise type outing / excursion of 1 or 2 days on the islands, unless you want to anchor in the port each evening, eat at the restaurant each evening (we have all the same dinner 2 evenings at the restaurant) and not necessarily define the stages of your journey in complete freedom !!! (everything was already planned as for a tourist circuit / cruise). Indeed, the boat is not necessarily adapted to the level of kitchen equipment (fridge which does not get cold forcing us to buy blocks of ice 3 times, no bowls for breakfast, no colanders, no stove, etc.). The rental company replied that the boat was not a restaurant!!!! (there is a minimum all the same !!!). No light in the toilet!! This was all reported upfront but with no improvement made. At the port and while we were paying for the place, the skipper never connected the boat to electricity or even systematically filled up with water when possible, even though we had asked him the question (we found out of water on 2 occasions). In terms of the boat's navigation equipment, no Croatian flag (yet mandatory), the chart table is empty (no almanac, no nautical chart of the sites), the mast lights are not functional, life jackets dating from 2004, no appendix as specified on the announcement (so no mooring with dead bodies or anchor possible). At the sailing level, we did too much motoring and regret not having sailed more when the wind was there (2 ½ days a week and we had to ask or even insist). This is linked to the fact that everything was already planned in advance rather than choosing sites and destinations according to the winds. The sharing and exchange that we know on a sailing trip was not necessarily there and it's frustrating. The schedules are not very flexible with a departure from the port between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. in the morning and an arrival at the port in the afternoon between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. max. In summary, if you are a sailing enthusiast and are looking for the associated spirit (freedom, sailing plan depending on the wind, etc.), then this rental is not made for you (run away). This offer is in fact oriented day trip (tourist walk).

We did a 2 day trip around the islands with Vlaho as our Skipper and he is just a great guy and the tour was awesome with super nice stops! Considering the age of the boat it was in a very good shape abd very clean. We were traveling with 4 adults, so 5 persons in total with Vlaho... In my opinion the boat is a bit too small for 5 adults but still we had a great time! Thanks Vlaho for the great Island tour :)

A great day out. We’ve taken 3 boats out prior to this where I was the skipper - it was great to have some local knowledge, sit back and relax for once. We didn’t get an opportunity to have the sails up, that would have been amazing, but the conditions didn’t quite lend themselves to make that possible.

Our skipper for the most of the trip was Jivo, the older of the two brothers. He is wonderful - highly skilled, great company and accommodating of all our wishes. I wanted to learn some navigation and he didn’t spare time and effort teaching and explaining. The only negative about the trip was that the wind blew his dear hat into the sea. If you are booking a trip with him - gift him a new hat!

A fantastic day on the Adriatic, exploring the islands around Dubrovnik. The boat was spacious and well kept, with plenty of room to sun-bathe. The locations visited were breathtaking and there is something for everyone, fine-dining, swimming, snorkelling, beach visits, sight seating and shopping. Our skipper, Đivo, was fantastic. Informative, attentive and made sure the day was tailored to what we wanted to do while giving us guidance and schedule if we wanted it. He really made our day. Would highly recommend this to any traveller, especially given the very fair price.

We had a pleasure to be guests on board of this boat. This was a great experience. Everything about the trip was amazing. Djivo was our skipper and we couldn't ask for a better person to spend the trip with! He was professionnal, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He provided us with interesting facts about places we visited. He even made reservations for us at an amazing restaurant, where we had wonderful meal. The boat was clean, and well maintained.
