There were 3 of us in our party, including my 85 year old Mother. 2 others joined us and we had a fabulous 4.5 hours. Ilija didn't take us out but he was there to meet us, he explained he had paperwork to do and his assistant Tommy took us instead. He couldn't have done anymore for us to make the trip as easy as possible. He assisted getting my Mom on and off. We even managed to get her in and out of the sea, she was snorkeling etc. Back to the trip. It was great. Couldn't recommend anything better, the snorkeling/swimming was amazing in such a quiet little cove and the water was the bluest of blue. Great value for money. Great experience.
Authentic. Local style. Small operator. Going out with a small group was exactly what we were looking for. Only 6 passengers. We have been on a few tours in Europe with very large groups and that wasn’t for us for a day of boating. The captain, Ilija, is a salt-of-the-earth guy and we really appreciated his easy nature. He shared facts about the islands we visited in a conversational manner, knew the beaches well, and offered some homemade liquors he made. If you are looking for a more authentic experience versus a large group herd style, then this is the trip for you.
the BEST experience in Croatia, ever! We were a group of four and Ilija brought us to very good spots to swim, snorkel, and we even got to see the sunset. You can request for fish bbq on the boat in advance (price excluded but it’s 100% worth it bc he will buy fresh from the market). He also recommended us an amazing local beach and places to eat during our stay. We loved everything and had the best time, thank so much Ilija!!
What to say i try to do best i can see you some other time
Ilija - our skipper for the afternoon gave us the highlight of our trip to Croatia - great trip to 3 islands to swimming, walking, talking, coffee and in no rush to return. His hospitality and patience (my wife can’t swim but still got into the water and enjoyed just as much as we did!) was excellent. Fair play. Toilet on boat too. Offered beer, glass of wine, water, biscuits, olives, anchovies. Looks like around 5 max on his boat + him - so makes it far more personable than the bigger boat trips. Thank you Ilija!
Hi i appreciate ☺️
Our day was awesome! The places where we went were beautiful and our captain Ilija was great. He made us feel welcomed and we definitely recommend this trip!
Great day out! Affordable and very much well worth it. Even as a solo traveller i felt safe and had a nice time with Iliya and others on the trip. We went to some beautiful coves & beaches for swimming. The boat is comfy and plenty of places to sit or sunbathe. Toilet aboard is a plus. Iliya pointed out places to explore on the islands and swimming spots so i had a very full day & saw lots of cool things. Thank you for a lovely trip, i'd definitely reccommend!
Thank you 😊
Great trip, get to visit places and islands you normally wouldn't. Really friendly captain, 100% recommend!
See you again i hope
Everything good. Good price Fun and drinks
Great trip to lovely places with friendly captain. Me and partner + 2 random couples on the boat with us but it wasn’t awkward and a nice experience makes a change from the big crowded boats. We were given drinks and refreshments on the boat which was good. Snorkelling fun and the captain was flexible with whether we wanted to snorkel or explore the islands. Would recommend make sure to bring 10€ cash per person for docking fee.
Amazing experience with Iljia! Very sweet guy helps with everything. We travelled to 3 islands and also a restaurant there
