    We had a wonderful time cruising around the Korčula islands with Ivan and Mirna. The yacht was beautiful, spacious, very well equipped, and incredibly comfortable throughout the day. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and we felt very well taken care of. Highly recommend, and we would love to book again for our next trip!

    Our family has just finished an incredible 4-day, 3-night boat charter from Dubrovnik to Split, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Croatia. A huge thank you to Ivan and Mirna for their outstanding hospitality, professionalism, and genuine warmth throughout the journey. From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel completely relaxed and welcome. Over the four days we explored some of the most beautiful coves, beaches, and towns along the Croatian coastline, including Korčula and Hvar. Ivan also chose some fantastic lunch spots on beautiful islands that we never would have found on our own, and every stop felt special. Most importantly, this trip gave our family memories we’ll cherish forever. It was filled with laughter, adventure, swimming in crystal-clear water, amazing food, and so many unforgettable moments together. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Ivan and Mirna to anyone looking for an unforgettable Croatian boating adventure, and we can’t wait to do it again. Thank you both for giving our family such a special experience!

    We had a perfect day. We visited several beaches and thoroughly enjoyed sailing in Dubrovnik. Ivan and Mirna, his assistant, were very attentive and patient with our family. Always available during the tour, they managed to get a restaurant reservation and went out of their way to ensure we had a pleasant day. Until next time, Ivan, and thank you again!

    We had a wonderful time on our private boat tour around Dubrovnik. Ivan was an excellent host from start to finish. He was professional, responsive, and very accommodating when helping us plan our itinerary. Ahead of our trip, Ivan even offered to move our booking to a different day to give us the best chance of good weather. Unfortunately, we couldn't make the alternative date work, but we really appreciated his thoughtfulness and flexibility. On the day of our tour, the weather turned out to be ok after all, and we even managed to enjoy some sunshine. Ivan's knowledge of the local area and the islands around Dubrovnik made the experience even more enjoyable. Learning about the different islands and their history was a real highlight. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would highly recommend booking this. Thank you for helping make our trip so memorable!

    EPIC! Can’t say enough about our five star experience with captain Ivan and Carla on the princess motor yacht! From beginning to end it was absolutely perfect! Ivan was so wonderful to communicate with and he and Carla both went above and beyond to make sure our charter was wonderful. The boat was luxurious and spotless. The swimming stops were beyond beautiful, our lunch at Bowa was delicious and the scenery was breathtaking. We will 100% return to Dubrovnik and charter with Ivan again. Can’t wait! Don’t hesitate to book this trip. It will be the highlight of your time in Croatia!

    It was my first time on this type of boat. Both my friends and I were delighted. The crew was very friendly, and the boat was even more beautiful than in the photos. I was celebrating my birthday, and it was the best party of my life!

    Ivan and Carla was great hosts for our boat day with the family. We had a wonderful time exploring the caves, beaches, and local islands. We would definitely return, and would absolutely rebook them and the Contessa for another trip in the future.

    For different reasons we needed two boats to spend the whole day enjoying the sea, we were a very large group of people, everything was more difficult to manage but Gabriel and his team took care of everything and our concern was just to enjoy the day, they brought on board cheese and meat boards and spectacular octopus salads!!! Then they reserved a table for all of us at a restaurant they trusted where we arrived directly with their boats and the lunch was incredibly good. Finally we returned to the port in the afternoon very satisfied. An absolutely perfect day, full of happiness and enjoyment. Excellent boats. Excellent staff. Excellent attitude.

    Group of 10 of us spent the day touring round the shores of Dubrovnik with Ivan and crew - an amazing experience. The boat was had everything we needed, (including well stocked fridges!) and was comfortable and spacious enough for all 10 of us. Ivan recommended an amazing restaurant for us on Lopud (Obala) for lunch and even made the reservation for us - food was lovely. Great attention to detail and a truly memorable day. Can't recommend enough. Thank you very much. James

    Ivan & Carla were a fantastic crew. We asked Ivan to plan i nice cruise out to the islands & to stop along the bay to paddleboard & snorkle, it was amazing. the yacht was perfect for our family of 4 & we had a very memorable time on the amazing Croatian water & islands. thank you very much Ivan & Carla for making this an life lasting memory for our family. Good luck Ivan & good luck Captain Carla :) we will see you next year. Brian, Katrina & Kids from Ireland.

    Ivan was an awesome captain. He took us to stunning places and knew the area very well. The whole crew; him and Karla were very professional, friendly, patient and helpful. The two days with them were the best of our week. If we come back to Croatia again, we will definitely book with him again. Thanks a lot for the whole great experience!

    Ivan and his team did a great job organising a 2 boat charter for us, one of which was on the Contessa. Beautiful boat, very professional. A seamless experience. We paid for extra fuel to visit Mljet, definitely worth it.

    Ivan and Gabriella were absolutely incredible. We joined them for a full day with our 3 children. They knew just where to bring us, asked us our wish list and were so incredibly hands on! We stopped at beautiful caves , snorkeling spots and sandy beaches. They also recommended a lovely Restaurant for us to eat during a stop at one of our islands. When we arrived , our reservations were set for the best table ! Our day on the Contessa was one we will remember for the rest of our lives. Priceless. Book with Ivan and do not hesitate. You will not regret it !
