The boat was overcrowded, there was no way to sit in the shade. The only spot was at the stern, where we had to sniff diesel fumes the whole time. The food was very simple and carelessly plated. The meat was fried very dry. We have received much better quality for a much lower price in other countries.
The staff on board were super friendly and helpful. It is a long sail to the islands but you will never get bored on the sea and on the mountains, especially if you have been able to spot some dolphins! The islands of Krk and Crest are beautiful from the sea, obviously overgrown by tourists but it is certainly not walking over the heads. After all, we are also there as tourists. The snacks and drinks were good and the fish for lunch was delicious - although you could also choose meat or veggie. We got a nice day for little money!
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable day with us. It’s especially rewarding to know that our friendly and helpful crew made you feel welcome throughout the trip. We're glad you appreciated the scenic journey to Krk and Cres, and how special that dolphin sighting must have been! Moments like these truly make the experience unforgettable. We're also pleased that you enjoyed the food and drinks on board, especially the lunch and the variety of meal options we offer. Thank you for choosing to spend your day with us and for highlighting the value of the experience. We hope to welcome you back on board for another memorable adventure in Croatia!
The locations visited were very busy. It offered no added value for me to be on a boat twice 2.5 hours before. The boat itself was rather packed. Liquor was from the Lidl, wine from a plastic bottle. Food was good though!
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that some aspects of the trip did not meet your expectations. During the peak summer season, the destinations we visit can indeed be quite busy, as they are among the most popular spots along the Croatian coast. We understand that this may affect the overall experience for some guests. Regarding the sailing time, our tour is designed to offer a full-day experience, allowing guests to enjoy both the journey at sea and time at each destination. We understand that this may not suit everyone's preferences. We also appreciate your comments about the refreshments on board. We continuously review our onboard offerings and will take your feedback into consideration as we work to improve our service. On a positive note, we're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food, and we hope it was one of the highlights of your day. Thank you once again for your honest review. We value all feedback, as it helps us improve the experience for future guests.
Overall we had a pleasant experience. The crew was very nice and helpful! They were always smiling and busy keeping the boat tidy. The beaches were rocky/pebbles (as expected - bring watershoes!) and beautiful water. Perfectly refreshing on a hot day! The food was delicious. That being said, there were a few pitfalls that were worth noting. I would bring some snacks, especially if you have kids who get extra hungry from swimming.. The snacks onboard are light. Also, it's worth bringing your own water/beverage because or table ran out of the soda & water by lunch. Which left us drinking our water the remaining 5 hours. Speaking of time, our tour lasted 9.5 hours rather than the 8hrs as stated. Things seemed to be running smoothly so not sure where we lost so much time but the parking lot is prepaid parking for specific hours and we were an hour over the alotted time. Lastly, expect to be sailing for approximately 5.5-6hrs of the 9.5hours. Overall, we enjoyed this and thought it was a great different perspective of Croatia - to see it from the sea! We just wanted to note a few things we wish we had expected, especially since we had young kids (under 4 years old) so I hope this helps someone else :)

We're sorry to hear that the drinks ran out earlier than expected and that the tour lasted longer than scheduled, causing inconvenience with your parking. We understand how important timing is, especially when traveling with young children. While the duration of our tours can occasionally be affected by sea conditions, port traffic, or other operational factors, we agree that better communication about any delays would have made the experience smoother.
