We are very happy with everything - the boat and the crew. It has been perfect, thank you.

The skipper Igor and the hostess Zeljka have been outstanding. Igor has both the technical qualities of a skipper, an excellent behavior for the hosts very discreet, good ideas of moorings and restaurants. Very impressed and he still quite young. And Zeljka has been very helpful, taking really care of the cleanliness of the boat, preparing nice meals. I had ask you for a great service and we got much more. It could not have been a better week.

Thank you so much. We have had a wonderful holiday on the Eleganza and sadly it’s coming to an end -- the crew have all been outstanding 

I had very high expectations and they were all exceeded. The boat was outstanding, the crew wonderful and the food exceptional. This was a once in a lifetime trip for myself and my family but we are already thinking about if / when we could do it again. Please let me also say a big thank you to yourself - you arranged a great trip for us, gave excellent advice and gave me comfort that we were in safe hands along the way, as we were planning.

Hello Dora, I want to thank you so much for the amazing holiday myself and my friends had. Aside from the trip itself the attention to detail, thoughtfulness, efficiency and professionalism demonstrated by you was identified and appreciated by everyone in my group. From the start of this process right to the very end (the restaurant in Split you organised for my friends) the service was first class. The restaurants you chose and the position of our tables within them was absolutely perfect - we could hardly believe our eyes or our taste buds! You have completely nailed the customer service side of this business and rarely have I seen this level of service offered on the many events and holidays I have been on. Thank you.

Thank you for facilitating our week on the Sedna. It was a beautiful boat and an even better crew. We are recommending it to our friends and hoping to return ourselves someday. The boat was very comfortable, and we had everything we needed. We fell in love with the crew. Zoran, the captain, made us feel safe at all times. Bruno, the cook, was charming and his food was delicious. Every meal was prepared to perfection and beautifully presented. Rebecca was a delight. She had the ability to be helpful, while making us feel it was her pleasure. Our only complaint … we did not sign up for another week.

My family and I returned home today having had a wonderful holiday. Croatia was sublime. Montenegro superb. Funny we left the Eleganza Saturday morning and that evening were having dinner at 360 Restaurant looking across the bay at Dubrovnik and there in the distance we saw Vladimir and Toni coming into the port on the tender.
That memory and so many others will remain with all of us far many a day.
Both Vlado and Toni could not have been kinder and more attentive. Vulle was exceptional. Zeltek the best chef I have ever known. Peter too was absolutely charming.
It was all you said and more. And there was the World Cup! Dora, huge thanks to you and all at Sail Dalmatia.

I cannot say enough good things about Sail Dalmatia, and highly recommend the company. Dora was extremely responsive to all of our (many) questions. She recommend a good boat, that was exactly as promised, and hired an excellent local skipper. Without her expertise, our trip would not have gone as smoothly or as well. When a last minute port fee question came up, Dora was able to speak with the yachting company, on a Saturday, and clear up the confusion. We had a wonderful trip.

We had such a great trip. Jere and his crew were beyond charming and helpful - they made us feel so well cared for! The boat was beautiful and so well maintained. Honestly, the only tiny nitpick I would have is a bit of a back-handed compliment. They were so intent on making sure that we were well fed that they didn’t believe us when we indicated that we couldn’t eat as much as they were feeding us! I know that sounds crazy and we really appreciated how hard Darko, the cook, was working and the food was great! We just found that a 4 course meal at lunch after a huge breakfast was too much. He was so sweet that we wanted to eat everything. Thanks so much for all your help. You made this such a relaxing and special vacation.

We had the most fantastic time on the Sedna. Zoran and his crew were absolutely fabulous. Thank you to all at Sail Dalmatia for making this happen for us.

Ivor was a great host and looked after us very well. Croatia is a beautiful country and we would love to come back.

I should start by saying that we had a fab time – everything was so well organised, the boat was great, and Sime was a great skipper. The trip certainly exceeded our expectations. We were really impressed how helpful you were, how well organised the boat chartering was, and what a wonderful place Croatia is.

We had the most wonderful time together on Carpe Diem. Starting with the airport transfers, everything went extremely smoothly. Our Captain and crew were absolutely superb in every way. We found the food to be of a very high standard on board and the service was excellent and perfect for us.  Both crews were invited to the meal on Mljet and we were then treated to the most wonderful singing by the restauranteur, his staff and Frano joined in with a heavenly baritone which made our evening complete, an unforgettable occasion!!! 

Having a fantastic time on Anna Wo, and Captain Toni is a prefect host.

Hi Dora, we are back from Croatia. We had a fantastic time on the Eleganza and then in Dubrovnik! Thank you for all your help with all aspects of our trip. Everything was top notch and ran to plan. I hope we can take another trip organized by you soon.  

My family and I absolutely loved every minute of our trip on the Fortuna, wouldn’t change a thing!. The boat itself is amazing, great seating areas and really comfortable beds, also the cabin bathrooms were fantastic, best shower we have ever had on a boat!! Really enjoyed getting to know Mirna, Tongi and Steepa (spelling??) and they were fantastic hosts and we knew we were in safe hands. We bombarded Mirna with questions about Croatia which she happily answered and she really gave us an insight into life in Croatia and its history. All our shore trips were well organised and Mirna gave us great suggestions as to what to do and see and where to eat. We were totally amazed at the wonderful food being prepared in the kitchen by Stanca, every day something different and really delicious and we looked forward to each meal. So very happy with your recommendation to charter Fortuna for our Croatia trip, it is a very special boat with an exceptional crew. When travelling it is always the people you meet that really form your opinion of the country you are in, Mirna and family were fantastic and we all really loved Croatia. It was a very memorable family holiday and we would absolutely recommend it to others. Hopefully one day we will return.

Hi Dora, I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you what a fabulous time we had in Croatia. The Sedna was the perfect boat for our first foray into the beautiful islands and bays of central Croatia. Zoran and his crew, Daniel and Tina were nothing but welcoming and professional which put us at ease right from the beginning of our trip. We had great food, good service and an easy going atmosphere at all times. The crew also perfectly balanced the mingling with the guests ratio.

We had a truly wonderful time on the Perla, and thank you so much for all your help!

We wanted to tell you that the crew and the Libra was the best. It was such a lovely experience and the crew were absolutely wonderful. We look forward to returning next year.

We wanted to thank you for all arrangements you made for our trip on Krila 7. Sime and his crew were wonderful and Croatia is a stunning sailing destination.

I realise so many weeks/months later that I never wrote to you to thank you for organising our fabulous holiday to Croatia. We were all bowled over by both the beauty of the landscapes and seascapes of Croatia but also by the people who were just so warm and welcoming. Our Gulet was fabulous and crew efficient and food incredible.
Thank you, Dora - we had a wonderful holiday. With best wishes to you and Eleganza.

We had a wonderful time in spite of the weather which could have been just a bit better. But that was more than compensated for by the beautiful Andjeo and the wonderful, hospitable Niksa, Tommy and Vedran. They could not have been more attentive and charming. And the food was exceptionally good. We all had a thoroughly great time. 10 out of 10 to the crew; we could not have asked for more or for better!

We had a wonderful time on board the Lagoon 620. Davor and the crew were exceptional. 

We had a wonderful time on board the Aurum. You have been absolutely wonderful with everything and thank you very much for all your assistance. 

Thank you for arranging our trip on Eleganza. We had a fabulous time-- the scenery, water and towns were all wonderful and the crew were outstanding. We have been on many gulet trips in Turkey, on larger and more luxurious boats but never before have we had a more comfortable experience and such a professional crew. The gulet itself was also exactly what we expected and we felt very much at home. 

We had the most wonderful time on the Anna Marija. It definitely met our expectations, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Croatia is just beautiful. 

We had a wonderful week on Barba - everyone had a very happy time. Under the Captains' guidance, the crew were all very professional and looked after us all extremely well. It was a very comfortable and happy ship. Thank you for all your help in the organisation of our trip.

We just wanted to thank you for sourcing the Sedna for us. We have had the most amazing week on board the Sedna and would like you to pass on our thanks to the owner and crew.

Let me take you through the four legendary members of the Eleganza crew - IVO, the cook: You will never go hungry but excitement will hit before each meal, wondering what wonderful dish is to be served. His food is better than any restaurant on the Croatian islands. LEO, butler/barman: Bartender, host, he cares for your every need and looks after you as if you were his loved ones. First up and last to go to sleep, he commits to his job fully and is beyond superb at it. Constantly on his feet and with a smile on his face, he knows what you want to drink before you even know yourself. No job was too big or too small for Leo, with the simple reply to your request 'why not?'. Leo became our friend on the trip and we will miss him. Captain MATE (Ma-Tay): Captain, route organiser and overall God. An excellent Captain, comfortable in his knowledge of the sea. I never felt unsafe on his ship. A bonus - his smile makes men and women alike swoon from miles around. VLADO, sailor: Don't let his young looks fool you, he drives with the talent of a wise old sea captain. Beyond patient, especially with the fathers of the family who wanted to recreate some kind of James Bond scene on the jet ski. Two stone heavier, a thousand times happier, thank you Eleganza crew for the most magnificent trip. Highly recommend you go for two weeks instead of one to have a wonderful holiday with a wonderful crew. 

Dear Dora, your team were just brilliant every single one of them. Leo the perfect front of house. Looking after our every need and thirst! Ivo was such a fantastic cook, he produced sumptuous meal after sumptuous meal. Vlado provided so much fun for the kids and the oldies with water sports and Matty navigated our holiday perfectly and was highly attentive to every need around those magical islands. We loved everything about our holiday, the weather, sea and the Eleganza and we lucked out with the master cabin which was the icing on the cake!!Thank you for organising it all so beautifully.

We loved it all. The Eleganza was great, the crew lovely and the itinerary was perfect. Food on the Eleganza was great and the restaurants were too, except where we ate on the last night - lovely setting but food not great, although maybe it was just an off night. Real success and thanks so much for your assistance.

Dear Dora, as you know the Alba is a fantastic boat, but I would just like to rave about the crew. It’s the second crewed yacht I’ve stayed on and Tash, Mirko, Zlatko and Stipe were SUPERB. Despite phenomenally good restaurant recommendations, we ate nothing on shore that came close to the perfection that Zlatko managed from the galley each day. Nothing was too much trouble for Stipe who taught the girls to surf while Mirko and Tash worked tirelessly to ensure that the trip was tailored to what we needed.  

Dear Dora, I just wanted to let you know that we have had the most fantastic holiday. All your organisation and attention to detail was greatly appreciated. Mate Leo, Vlad and Ivo were exceptional and made the experience of sailing around Croatia on the Eleganza with my family a holiday of a lifetime! Thank you again to you and your team, we look forward to our next trip!

We had an excellent week on board Pacha, everything worked out great.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Marco the skipper and had an amazing holiday - Croatia is a truly magnificent country.

We had a truly wonderful holiday! I can’t wait go back! Petra and Toni were wonderful! Petra is an awesome cook and enjoyed spending time with our kids. Toni helped us plan our days and made sure we had plenty of time for swimming and relaxing. Thank you for all your help. 

The Angelica crew was fantastic! We have already recommended them to our family and friends.

The crew and the gulet Alisa were fabulousness!! Food excellent, crew friendly and accommodating. We would definitely book the Alisa with you again. 

We have had a fabulous time on Eleganza. Great crew, food and service.  

We enjoyed a relaxing week aboard the Morning Star. Dom and his brothers were gracious and accommodating and the boat is very well appointed. We were pleasantly surprised by Marco's delicious lunches, topped off by decadent desserts. We will highly recommend the Morning Star to any friends who ask about sailing the Dalmatian coast. Thank you for coordinating everything.

Hello Dora, without equivocation we had one of the most enjoyable weeks holiday we can remember. Thank you yourself for the recommendations and organisation of all that you arranged with our route, crew, taxi and general assistance etcetera. Certainly the Dalmatian coast was a pleasure to visit, the first time for most of us, and we look forward to returning someday to spend more time exploring further. The delight for us especially was the wonderful journey we had aboard the fabulous Eleganza with Cap’n Mate and good natured crew. We couldn’t have been looked after better from start to finish. We will only offer complimentary recommendations to our friends and family as we reflect and share experiences of our holiday with you. 

We had a wonderful trip with Marko and his crew. It was a great experience for those who had never done it before. We were very impressed with Marko who was never pushy or overbearing but firm with his recommendations for our enjoyment and safety. Martin produced great Croatian food and Dino looked after us all so well, always smiling. Roberto was terrific too in looking after the boat and us and we enjoyed meeting them all. The boat was kept lovely and clean and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for getting the paddle board which was used but not by me! I hope we can return to Anna Marija again. Many thanks for your help in arranging it all.

A truly wonderful holiday. Croatia is a marvellous country with friendly people and divine food!

It was best vacation ever. Natalia and her husband were awesome. We look forward returning next summer. 

We enjoyed our trip on Sedna and found the islands beautiful. We had some lovely meals out and were very impressed by the quality and standard of food and service. We shall certainly visit again. Thank you so much for organising everything so well for us. It was much appreciated.

Dear Dora, we have returned home (sadly) after the most wonderful 10 days on the Gulet Malena. It was the trip of a lifetime. The Gulet was terrific – the crew absolutely fantastic. Luka’s cooking was great and Thomas took us to some amazing places. It would have been wonderful to have had the sails up just once during the trip. It’s probably quite a feat to do this – but would have been a beautiful thing to see. Thanks to all. 

Thank you very much for helping us to coordinate such a wonderful sailing trip to Croatia. Both Katia and I as well as two groups of our guests were very impressed with the format of the event, Croatia and how friendly the crew was. Everyone left the boat saying that we should do re-union trip again. In terms of feedback, there is no doubt that we are very much happy with the choice of the boat and the efforts of the crew! All of them pulled their weight to make our experience on the boat an unforgettable one. I would like to highlight the chef Toni in particular. The food was great, both in terms of variety and taste. I was very impressed with the efforts Toni went through trying to accommodate a variety of dietary requirements within the group. In summary, a great trip! Lots of memories to look back to.

Thanks for a fabulous trip!!!!Truly and experience of a lifetime…..the crew, food and itinerary were great!! Chris

Dear Dora, I would just like to thank you so much for your help with booking Gulet Andi. Your information and help persuaded me to go for it and I'm so glad we did! We had an amazing time, I absolutely loved it. The crew were so good, Ivica, Ivan & Anton were so good from Ivica's sense of humour, Ivan's fabulous food & Anton's smile & politeness! The places we visited in Croatia were stunning and the experience we had on board I will never forget, we have laughed all week! You have converted me into a sailing girl and if the opportunity arises we will be doing it again! 

Hello Dora, I am sitting in my office reflecting on our wonderful holiday last week. I can’t speak highly enough about the trip, and in particular the hospitality of our family crew led by Captain Frano. From the start to the finish it was an exceptional vacation. The crew was excellent. The family was very hospitable, and professional. Having a family atmosphere was a real bonus. The Captain was excellent, his knowledge and passion for his job and Angelica showed through. We always felt safe and secure in his hands. His handling of Angelica was superb. Lorena (not sure of spelling) kept Angelica in tip top condition, and always greeted us with a friendly smile and went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Nico and Peter were good support for the Captain, and my children particularly enjoyed the water sports on board that they facilitated. And our Chef, Islam – what a treat – I have returned 2kg heavier. His food was amazing, from wonderful breakfasts to fantastic lunches and dinners we had on board. All fresh food cooked beautifully. I need him to teach me how to make those little cheese pastries for breakfast! He also had fun, and my son particularly loved his special chocolate strudel. All locations visited were fantastic, and the restaurant recommendations from both Sail Dalmatia and the crew were spot on. Thank you again for organising such a wonderful and memorable holiday that will last with us always. The itinerary you prepared was excellent and met all of our needs and wishes. We are looking forward to doing this again soon, Croatia is such a wonderful country with beautiful sights and people.

Our cruise on Sedna was absolutely wonderful. The crew could not have been more charming or attentive. We loved the scenery and the whole atmosphere of Croatia, especially the friendly people and the interesting towns and villages. Zoran took us on a well thought out and varied itinerary and Dario produced the most delicious, but simple lunches every day. In fact, he prepared some of the best fish we have ever eaten! Thank you very much for a wonderful charter. We would definitely love to go again another year. 

Our Croatian trip was superb - one of our best. But in particular, the yacht charter with Alen and Natalija was outstanding. I cannot praise them highly enough. Thank you for all you did in advising and organising our boat charter.

On Dolce Vita as I write. Amazing week. Highly recommend full board as each meal has been better than any restaurant meal. Amazing food and lovely staff. Thank you very much for organising a really wonderful experience. 

We had the most fantastic week with your crew, all of them were outstanding in their individual roles. They were unobtrusive, safety conscious and a delight to be around. We all decided we had some of the best meals in Croatia on board the boat. It was for me a trip of a life time and I will be recommending to all our friends. The only small thing was a fan in one of the small rooms didn't work and in this extreme heat it was difficult for the kids to sleep but I am sure this can be easily fixed.

I am now back in London and just wanted to say that we had a great week on Eleganza. It was a joy to be cruising along and then stopping for a swim. We all loved the Croatian coast. Mate and all his crew were charming and attentive. They could not have been more friendly and helpful. The food on the boat was seriously good and better than what we found ashore. Thank you for the trouble you took to organize everything.

Just to thank you for all your help, we really are having a wonderful, fun and happy time! Daniela and her family are exceptionally kind, so gentle and caring and are doing so much to ensure Grandad has a memorable week. 

The trip was fantastic, we loved everything about it. The boat was great, perfect size for us, Ratko was the best! He was professional, knowledgeable about the areas we visited, always willing to share the history and information about what we were seeing. He also seemed to have connections everywhere which helped with good marina spots. He was very fun, we enjoyed his company at dinner and on one occasion, we even convinced him to go out with us after dinner. Croatia proved to be a wonderful sailing destination, it lived up to its billing! Thank you for setting everything up for us Dora, we hope to use you again sometime in the future.

We had a great experience on the boat. Eleganza is a great boat, very comfortable and well-equipped. The crew did a fantastic job. We will miss them. It really could not have been better. If I could do it again, I would have spent more time on Hvar. Thank you so much for putting together an unforgettable vacation.

We had a fabulous week on board, loved the whole crew, the food, the Dalmatian Coast, the Croatian people….we did not want to leave! Thanks for all your efforts on our behalf. We are already talking about returning next year and going up the coast. Mate actually made some recommendations for a route.

I just wanted to thank you for organising this trip of a lifetime for our families. We had an amazing time in spite of the slightly chilly weather! The crew were superb and could not have been more charming, helpful and delightful. They went out of their way to make our stay a truly memorable one. The Kadena was very comfortable and our chef Vladimir produced delicious meals from his minute kitchen. We all agreed it was the very best family holiday we've ever had! So thank you for making this all possible and for ensuring the smooth running of our trip. Also thank you for the lovely wine you sent to us we had it on our 30th wedding anniversary lunch, serenaded by Jean on guitar and Vladimir's delicious cherry cake. We would love to be back in a flash....

I have just got home from spending my week on Kadena. What a wonderful holiday. I also want to tell you that the crew on the gulet were absolutely wonderful. Nothing was too much for them. Thank you for all you did in making this a memorable holiday. Please pass on my thanks to the crew.

Our stay has been excellent. Great boat and very helpful crew. 

Thank you for organising our week on board Angelica. Frano and the crew were excellent and we would love to come back. 

Firstly, we have had a great time on board Barbara. Secondly, I want to thank you for dinner on the boat at Brijuni. It was a very good night. 

We had a fabulous time, and even the weather did not manage to spoil things. Croatia is truly spectacular and Mate and the rest of the crew were wonderful. Thank you for all your help.

We had a delightful time on the Eleganza. The Captain and the crew were fantastic. Thank you very much to all team at Sail Dalmatia for organising it for us.    

The team in Sibenik were very professional, the transfers all worked well, the sailing was great, the people were friendly and we had a great holiday. Thanks for your support and service in arranging everything for us.

Mark and I had an AMAZING time on the trip. I cannot thank you enough for all of your help coordinating - especially on such short notice. Everything you lined up was perfect. Our boat was very comfortable and our skipper, Ivo, was wonderful - he really made the trip even better than we could have expected. And, Croatia is just a beautiful country - the beaches, the food, the people. Mark and I agree we would definitely like to return again soon. 

We had a wonderful week on the boat and we also had the pleasure of meeting Marco. The captain and crew were fabulous and were very accommodating. In regards to Croatia, we were very impressed by all aspects including wonderful people and a marvellous coast.

The crew were great and went to great lengths to give us the best experience possible. Thank you very much. 

Absolutely spectacular. A great trip. Thank you so much. Gulet Aurum

We really enjoyed the vacation and our feedback is extremely positive, both the overall organisation of the trip and on the selection of skipper and hostess. Davor was experienced and friendly and so was Nera (still dreaming of her pasticada!). We are looking forward to our next adventure!

'We are having a very nice time, and are all appreciative of Alen's attention and professionalism. He's also a super nice man, in fact he's making us crepes this morning';

Thank you for the wonderful yacht and the great chef. We are in heaven!

Firstly let me tell you that the trip was very enjoyable. The sights were very good every day; a real mix. Bodrum is worth a day or more. Knock-off goods for sale in Turkey are a highlight, believe or not.Kos bike trip is recommended. The restaurant (Barbouni) was very very good, and affordable. The quick trip to the Volcano in Nysiros is worth the trip, but as the Captain recommended, we didn’t spend the night there and detoured to Symi right after Nysiros. Symi is very nice!!!We could have stayed two days in Rhodes. Marmaris’ restaurant Le Kabab was the best on the trip. The side trip to Dalyan as set up was worth  it; he mudbaths especially.The restaurant on Selminiye was good food, but very expensive.

I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time that I and all my friends had on our trip to Croatia.  The crew of the Andjeo couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating. The boat was beautiful but it was the warmth and hospitality of this outstanding trio of young men that made our vacation very memorable. The food was beautifully presented and delicious.  Thank you for all the time you spent advising and planning with us.

We had a fantastic time and would love to visit Croatia again - it is a beautiful country and our sailing experience was enjoyed by all our family. "The best holiday ever"

Our week of sailing was brilliant!Thank you for a fantastic holiday.

Croatia is a beautiful country and we will definitely be back. Your restaurant suggestions and the itinerary were perfect.

Dear Dora, thank you for a wonderful week on board the South Paw C. Mr Babajko and his crew were a real delight.

We had an amazing time on the Stane. Thank you very much for everything.

We had a truly amazing week in Croatia! Thank you! We will definitely be back.

Dear Dora, we would like to thank you for a wonderful holiday we had in Croatia. The boat was superb and Zeljko looked after us very well.

We had a splendid time on the Barba. Thank you very much for arranging everything for us.

We had an excellent time with lovely weather. Alen has looked after us very well. Thank you very much for organising such a lovely trip.

Our time in Croatia was fantastic, the weather was perfect, apart from a few clouds as we left Split and rain one morning as we left Hvar. Thanks for everything.

Just a quick note to thank you for organising our trip to Croatia, and particularly for the last minute alternation. We had a superb boat, a charming skipper, and had a great holiday. The first of many to the area I hope.

We loved our hols, thank you so much Dora and the team!!! We could not have had a better time, everything was PERFECT: great crew, absolutely beautiful country and fantastic sailing, superb weather, delicious food and wine, lovely people!

Thank you very much for organizing our sailing holiday to Croatia. We had a great time. Our entire family loved it! And Zoran was a great skipper!

We had a superb time. The yacht was excellent and the crew were delightful. Many thanks. We will certainly return.

The holiday was amazing thank you so much for organizing it.The captain and the boat were perfect as was our itinerary.

We loved our time in Croatia. The boat was lovely, the weather perfect and the food divine!

Just a quick email to say thank you very much to all at Sail Dalmatia in London as well as in Split for organizing a week of sailing on SO54. Nikola was very helpful and indeed very knowledgeable about the islands. We had a great time and we would love to come back. Keep up good work!

We just came back and I wanted to thank you for such a lovely holiday me and my son had. Hvar was a beautiful place and we really enjoyed the day of sailing with Jelena. She even took us to Brusje for a dinner at Joze's house. Beautiful country and very friendly people!

Thank you very much for yet another beautiful visit to Croatia. The boat was superb, Perica and his crew really made all efforts to provide us with a wonderful 2 weeks of sailing. Thank you very much for all your hard work especially for booking us at Mali Ston.

Dora has a great passion for sailing, her native Dalmatia and the boats. She has an eye for a detail and through a constant communication with the crew she ensures no detail is overlooked. Unlike many other brokers, Dora and her team personally book all restaurants, bars, local attractions and activities for the guests. This is much appreciated by us and the crew as we are able to focus on running the boat and looking after the guests while Dora covers the land acitivities. Sail Dalmatia is an exceptional broker and we are very pleased to have Dora and her team as our partners.

‘’It fell to me to seek a charter company after the 6 of us decided on a week sailing in Croatia for our next holiday.

I selected Dora from her excellent website and we met at her London office to explain we are 3 middle-aged couples who have enjoyed vacations together, but not regular sailors. She showed appreciation for making the hour’s journey to meet her personally.

After narrowing down dates, location, boating experience, etc, Dora went carefully through a selection of her portfolio identifying the pros and cons of each boat. She is very professional and knows all of her client skippers and their boats individually.

We narrowed the choice to 4 – two power boats and two gullets, all adequately displayed on her website. I circulated this info to my friends and it became an easy choice – a beautiful gullet named Carpe Diem based at Split. I think Dora knew we would choose this boat before I left her office !

From then on nothing was too much trouble. Throughout, she gave the impression we were her only clients.  We agreed dates, cost, cruising options, meal and drink options, local transfers, etc all handled by Dora patiently. She even recommended 3 restaurants; we tried 2 and very glad we did.

I have already begun a dialogue for another Croatian charter and personally very happy to recommend Dora Vulic to fix your next holiday too.’’

The trip was extraordinary: the splendor of the Carpe Diem, with its ample accommodations and the craftsmanship of the ship itself;  a crew that was gracious and knowledgeable; food that was a regional delight; and the sites and experiences that were unforgettable. Frano and Lorena were the perfect hosts.

We  have had the most amazing week onthe Kavira 2! The boat is really super & very comfortable. The highlight has to be the food.. it has been incredible, Tony is a fantastic chef. Marina has looked after us well & our girls have had good fun with her, Ante is  a great captain, involving us & explaining everything to us.

We had a big night out in Hvar and went to the Carpe Diem beach club till 4am! Our favourite places this time are Korcula & we really like Jelsa last night. 

Lady Gita is a beautiful yacht and has more than met our expectations. I am glad we took the risk of her being completed on time. It has been very special being on her maiden voyage. Despite a huge amount of work to finish in the last week before we stepped aboard (Toni was recounting they had 30 people work until midnight) everything has functioned very well. Toni is a very “likeable” captain - creating the right bond with the family but at all times professional, safety conscious, and helpful as we have tweaked the itinerary. He has assembled a great crew; the engineer and one of the deck hands have been on the boat for the last six months with Toni finishing the build, so are very knowledgeable about the boat. The chef is truly amazing; Toni brought him from “Linda” and he is passionate about his food.

Dear Dora,
Well, what can we say. You were right - we had the trip of a lifetime.Croatia is stunning and the people are so friendly, the water was so warm and clear and the seafood, no make that all the food, was delicious. Luopan was incredible and being on her, with our children and their partners, along with Sue's sister and her husband, exploring Croatia's stunning islands and being able to stop whenever we wanted, to just jump into the crystal clear water for a refreshing swim, was incredibly relaxing and good for the soul. What made it extra special though -  to quote Becky (although we all thought exactly the same thing), "The best holiday I have EVER had, anywhere!" - was the crew. From Markus taking us waterskiing/wakeboarding before breakfast (Sue and I were so chuffed to still be able to monoski well into our fifties, 9 years after we last did it), to Petra's extra attentive service - after 2 days all Peter had to do was look at Petra and she brought him a perfect G&T and Lucija's incredible food (we have had dishes in Michelin starred restaurants that were inferior to her creations, especially, for me, her ravioli). We were spoilt rotten, with nothing being too much trouble. We were all really sad to leave on Sunday morning. It was the perfect way to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We cannot wait to enjoy the unique hospitality of Luopan again.Thank you for recommending her, we were not disappointed! I also want to thank you for sorting out Alka, Maha and the wine tasting which we all enjoyed enormously.

We had the most memorable trip ever on the Kavira 2.  Dora was extremely helpful and service oriented in helping me make the decision as to the right boat and guiding me through the process.  The crew were amazing, the food was incredible and the boat itself was incredible, we really appreciated the attention to detail.  I can't wait for my next trip on the Kavira 2 and look forward to working with Dora

Dear Dora just wanted to let you know that we are having a fabulous time on the gorgeous Angelica - the crew are wonderful, so friendly and knowledgeable, the food is delicious, we have all eaten way too well! They have taken us to some really wonderful secluded bays to spend the day and our five 19 year old boys have had so much fun whilst we have relaxed and enjoyed the weather. Of the towns and villages we adored Stari Grad particularly. Hvar Town tonight! Kate

It’s amazing Dora, thank you. The family are as lovely as you said and the chef very talented.  We have been relaxing and making full use of the water sports every day. Croatia is beautiful! Thanks again for all your help, the holiday has run very smoothly because of you

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for arranging what truly was THE VACATION OF A LIFETIME!!!The boat itself is very special so we fell in love the moment we boarded (in the freezing cold and pouring rain!!). But it was the crew that made our time on the water so very special. Frano and Lorena are the kindest, warmest hosts you could ever hope to meet and they went above and beyond in more ways than I can list to see to it that our adventure was spectacular!! Matteo (the cook) did a magnificent job with every meal - we were blown away by the fact that he is only 24 years old!! Vid, our deckhand, although quiet and rather reserved was extremely kind and helpful and always seemed to be right there if you needed something. If you ever need a reference for the Carpe Diem 7 and her crew, please don’t hesitate to pass along our contact info. We would be honored to share our experience with a prospective guest.

We had an excellent week, everything worked out great.

My family and I absolutely loved every minute of our trip on the Fortuna, wouldn’t change a thing!.  The boat itself is amazing, great seating areas and really comfortable beds, also the cabin bathrooms were fantastic, best shower we have ever had on a boat!!  Really enjoyed getting to know Mirna, Tongi and Steepa (spelling??) and they were fantastic hosts and we knew we were in safe hands.  We bombarded Mirna with questions about Croatia which she happily answered and she really gave us an insight into life in Croatia and its history.  All our shore trips were well organised Mirna also gave us great suggestions as to what to do and see and where to eat.  We were totally amazed at the wonderful food being prepared in the kitchen by Stanca, every day something different and really delicious and we looked forward to each meal.  So very happy we chose to charter the Fortuna with Sail Dalmatia, it is a very special boat with an exceptional crew. It was a very memorable family holiday and we would absolutely recommend it to others. Hopefully one day we will return.

Fantastic holiday and excellent service both from yourself and the Luopan crew - thank you.

We had the most fantastic time EVER! Thank you! Would so love to go back one day and do it again, love the thought of going to the more northern islands in Croatia near Sibenik.

Thank you for a fantastic week on the Perla. We would love to come back

We had a great pleasure working with Sail Dalmatia. Dora went beyond her call of duty to help secure our visas even before we embarked on our trip, and was there for us throughout the trip liaising with the crew arranging entertainment and venues. Also, pulling strings to get officials to come on board and take pictures for extensions. She has been indispensable throughout the entire trip and we could hot have wished for a better trip.

It is as amazing as we hoped and remembered and more. I am being so spoilt and and feel very loved thank you also so much for the Champagne, that was very kind of you.  It is so wonderful to have a captain and crew in which we have total trust and we always know he will do what’s best for our entire party, so thank you for one more wonderful week on Carpe Diem 7. 

Thank you so much for making our family getaway to Croatia such a special one.  Your insight and knowledge of Croatia showed in the places you recommended and in the itinerary you created.  The crew and boat was beyond anything we could have imagined.  We will for sure forward your contact onto friends and family making the trip abroad.   Thank you again.. We hope to speak soon… XO

Zdravo Dora!  

In every way possible, every aspect of our trip has exceeded our expectations. We cant express enough thanks for arranging this experience. Mario and the crew of Smart Spirit deserve special commendation for ensuring the journey is the perfect-every day has been a dream!

Hvala Vam!!!!
 

We are having a fabulous time.  Frano, Lorena and their crew are wonderful hosts and the Carpe Diem is just simply a beauty!

We would recommend Carpe Diem 7 for anyone looking for a perfect week on the water. The boat is beautiful and the crew are so nice!

We chartered Carpe Diem 7 this July - it has been one of the best family holidays we enjoyed. Thank you for your help with organising it, it has been a truly magical week. 

Hi Dora

Just wanted to pop you an email to say WOW! what a holiday.

Thank you so much for organising our stay aboard Libra we have had the most amazing time.

The crew on board really are under played when booking - we didn’t realise how fabulous they would all be.

The food was some of the best we have experienced abroad and the dining experience around the stunning back deck table made the holiday.

Marco was an absolute pleasure to have as Captain and the rest of the team Martea, Carlos and Antonio just couldn’t of done anymore to make our stay enjoyable - nothing was to much trouble.

We have already said we will be back

Thank you once again

Kind regards 
Diane, Tim, Jo, Gary, Sharon, Bryan, Mandy and Rich
 

Vacation of a life time!  Everything was great from the beautiful boat, amazing crew, fabulous food and incredible scenery.  The trip was a wonderful combination of visiting a variety of local islands, relaxing on the boat, water activities and beautiful vistas.  A great holiday for both adults and teenagers which is not easy to pull off!
 
A special thanks to Dora for organizing such an amazing and memorable trip!

I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed our fabulous vacation aboard Carpe Diem 7. It was the vacation of a lifetime.

The captain, chef, and first mate(tress) we genuine, authentic, and delivered amazing service.

The boat was beautiful and had a personality of its own.

As a seasoned water skier, I was delighted to be able to ski in the Adriatic Sea.
 

We’ve had a fantastic week. Andrea has been absolutely superb. He’s a great Captain - we always felt very safe and in capable hands. He took us to the most beautiful spots and we spent days in the most glorious clear waters. He was a very amiable host but also gave us our privacy. He arranged reservations for us at some wonderful restaurants along the way and was super helpful in ensuring we arrived safely and on time by dinghy.  I always felt he was on hand and willing to help us with anything we needed.  He was very reliable and capable and I would feel in good hands with him in an emergency. He was also good fun including with our teenagers. One day he taught our son to make a seafood pasta. What a great guy, we can’t thank you (and him) enough.

We absolutely loved Kadena. Everyone was very kind and caring and Tome was very kind to our teenagers making sure they were safe with the night life. We all felt totally spoilt. Thank you for a great trip, we would certainly recommend Sail Dalmatia to anyone looking for a fab time on a private yacht. 

We were very impressed by Captain Igor and his crew, they took us to lovely places and we very much enjoyed a trip across to Venice. Free Wings is a beautiful yacht. 

This was our 4th trip with Sail Dalmatia and they simply deliver the best cruising holidays. We are booked with them again in 2023!

Our friends recommended Sail Dalmatia to us. Dora and her team organised a wonderful holiday for our family onboard Stella Maris. Sail Dalmatia are a rare find, a true Croatia specialist. We are booked for next year too. 

Dora and her team helped us organising a wonderful week in Croatia. Everything worked perfectly from the drivers who met us at the airport, (Vinko, one the drivers gave us a brief history on Croatia on our way to Trogir that we enjoyed very much) to the fabulous crew on Kadena. We loved it so much that we are coming back in 2023. We would highly recommend Sail Dalmatia for anyone looking to explore the stunning Dalmatian islands.

Sail Dalmatia and Dora created a vacation of a lifetime for us! Our experience aboard the Carpe Diem 7 was seamless from start to finish. The captain, chef, and first mate(tress) were genuine, authentic, gracious, and delivered fantastic service. The boat was beautiful and had a personality of its own. As a seasoned water skier, I was delighted to be able to ski in the Adriatic Sea. Dora was excellent at helping us plan our itinerary before our arrival and addressing all our questions promptly and professionally.

If you've landed with Sail Dalmatia, you've landed in the right place -- look no further.

We are already planning our trip for next summer.

What an experience - from the moment we made first contact with Dora for an enquiry, until the moment we stepped off the boat!
Top marks for a professional charter service, nothing was to much trouble, even restaurant recommendations and booking tables for us. Our group where so excited to of found and booked the beautiful Gullet Libra, it is not very often you book something and it is even better than you had wished for. The crew on Libra where simply amazing, fantastic route, food and five star hospitality.
Although we all agreed this was a once in a life time experience we have in fact booked again for 2023 and we cannot wait.
Highly recommend Sail Dalmatia, Dora and her team
