Our skipper, Ante, was first class. He made our day with his professionalism and knowledge yet was fun and helpful throughout. The restaurant he took us to was amazing. One of the best days, we recommend you book this trip!

We had a great full day sailing trip with Borko. A good mix of cruising, sailing and swimming. With an excellent restaurant recommendation for lunch.

Bog shootout to the skipper Dule for this wonderful day. The view and bays were really nice and skipper knowledge greatly appreciated!!

My girlfriend and I booked this trip, opting to experience Croatian sailing rather than taking one of the fast boats or motor boats. It was the right choice!
The sailing experience was awesome, thanks to our skipper, Luka! Luka was hilarious and super fun to talk to. He made sure everyone on board had a hand in the sailing experience. If you're on Luka's boat, you're going to find yourself raising a sail, tying off a rope, fetching the wine, or dancing.
This was a blast! Thanks Luka!

We had booked the 'Zadar Romantic Sunset Sailing Trip' with the same company and had an amazing time, so we could not wait for the Full Day Sailing Trip during our honeymoon. Luka was our captain and was taught us how to sail. He prepared an amazing lunch and was very accommodating when I had told him the day before that I was a vegetarian. Wine was provided, but there were a few people on our trip who had wanted beer. Luka stopped at a small village on the coast and those people were able to hop off the boat to buy some beer. Instead of sailing to the Kornati National Park, the people in our boat all decided that we wanted more time to swim and snorkel. Luka took us to many different secluded bays throughout the day so we could enjoy the water away from the crowds. The location is beautiful and was matched by amazing service. We would HIGHLY recommend this sailing trip to anyone vacationing in Zadar. This trip was a highlight during our stay and we would book again if we return to Zadar.

A Lovely Day!
The organiser Tibor was very accommodating and made sure we got on the water after the weather had passed on previous days. Our skipper, David, was a lovely person and gave us lots of information about the surroundings, in good humour.
There were three of us and we were joined by another great family of four. The tour is flexible depending on the conditions and desires of the people onboard. We collectively decided to go to Kornati National Park which was beautiful. The weather was perfect for a day on the water. We motored at the start of the trip and sailed the second half on the way there and the majority of the way back. David gave us the opportunity to have a go at sailing if we desired. We saw dolphins and got two opportunities to go swimming - one at midday and one in the afternoon, each at fairly quiet coves. David made sure we had drinks throughout the whole trip and made us a tuna salad for lunch.
Some advice would be to bring some snacks with you and snorkel gear if you're interested.
Overall, everyone onboard had a great day and the weather was amazing. Definitely value for money!

Great day on the sea with our skipper Luka and three others! The amount of sailing done depends on the conditions we were able to sail for a few hours, and motored around for the rest.. We stopped several times to swim and fish near Kornati. Luka made us a nice Mediterranean salad for lunch with white wine, and had us back to view the sunset on our way back to Zadar. We were treated like family, definitely recommend!

Had a FABULOUS day! The day we were supposed to go, the weather was not good, so Tibor worked with us to find a day that worked. On the boat we had the most amazing time with our skipper Luka. He provided us with wine, water, snacks, lunch, wonderful information about Croatia, and so much fun!

The tour was not what was promised! The boat was dirty (old food and dirty cloths lying around).We did not go to Kornati Islands, did not see Devils rocks nor a Salt Lake, did not eat in a restaurant. Instead we sailed to a small island, lunch was pasta with tuna on the boat and we returned motor-driven

I really cannot say enough good things about this tour. from the moment I booked the tour there was great communication from the organiser Tibor and then the captain Luka in the days before the trip. Then During the trip itself Luka could not have done more to make the day better. he was always checking that we had enough to eat and drink and that we were enjoying ourselves. he even stopped off at one of the islands so we could stock up with some more drinks during the day! Luka was an absolute wealth of knowledge on everything from the sea, the local area to the history of croatia. at one point he even caught for us a giant mussel to eat fresh from the sea. absolutely amazing day and would highly recommend,

Excellent trip! We had a great sailing day, we visited various spots and Cary was very nice all the time. Highly recommend it!

I would highly recommend this tour! My friend and I booked this tour on Viator based on other reviews and it certainly lived up to expectations. We had it scheduled for Saturday and the weather didn’t look great (thunder and lightning), we received a message from Tibor asking if we were available another day. They accommodated switching our tour so we had the best experience. Luka was our Skipper for the day and he was amazing! There was an issue with the boat not being ready when we arrived, so he took us out for coffee until we were ready to leave. He asked us what we wanted to see/do during the day and tailored the tour to our preferences We had so much fun on the tour - sailing, drinking wine, swimming… this tour is a must! The best tour we booked on our time traveling through Europe.

Sailing with Tibor was amazing! We had a private tour of the islands, swam, smacked, drank, and had a wonderful authentic trip around the Adriatic off the coast of Zadar and northern Dalmatia! Would definitely sail with him again; all five of us loved the trip! Informative and beautiful!

My girlfriend and I spent five days of our vacation in the southern part of Croatia, and the time we spent with Luka on this trip was by far the most unforgettable. Not only will Lukas enthusiasm and great personality make any trip an incredible experience, but it will be backed by his impressive knowledge of everything from fishing for calamaris to finding secluded bays and beaches. We will definitely be back.

My friend and I had the best time on this trip! To start, were at the wrong place and a bit late but Luka left the boat and picked us up in his car. We hoped in the car and Luka started to explain our options for the day as he drove us to the boat which was right across from where we where staying. My friend and I decided we wanted to swim and fish more than ride all the way out to the islands and then all the way back. We had more than we could ever want on the boat! Local wine, fresh fruit, yummy salad that I make on my own to this day, and pretty much a private butler. Did I mention we had the boat to ourselves?! It was awesome. Luka is a knowledgable fisherman and social guy so we enjoyed talking to him and spending the day with him immensely. My friend went fishing for the first time in her life and caught us dinner which Luka explained how we should cook it later. The boat could use some repairs but I think the owner is working on that. This was our favorite day in Zadar!

Luka was our skipper and great company. We had the boat for ourselves and even though the tour says Kornati Islands we didn't actually visit them - Luka asked us if we wanted to travel all the way there and back and spend only half an hour seeing the Islands. Instead we visiting a couple of smaller islands near to Zadar and spent the day snorkelling and fishing we even ate what we caught on the way home. It didn't bother us that we never saw the Kornati Islands, it was a fun day just chilling out at sea and barring the bad sun burn, couldn't fault it.

Guten Tag,
Wir wollen uns beschweren da wir eigentlich einen Segeltörn bebucht haben und wir aber nur mir dem Motorboot gefahren worden sind. Der skipper war sehr freundlich dedoch war er von seiner Hochzeit vom Wochende noch sehr blau und nach seiner eigenen Aussage nicht fähig das Boot zu Segeln. Wir haben für 230 Euro nicht das bekommen was wir gebucht haben. Wir erwarten uns eine Entscheidigung für unser nicht erlebten Urlaubstag.

Cet croisière et minable juste de la navigation et baignade aucune visite restaurant très bien bien
Le skipper pense juste à prendre en photo et faire des visio avec ses amis pour montrer les fesse des femmes devant les mari aucun respect de cet personne
Journée de minable comme le skipper
Angela_A, Oct 2021
Da selbst wenig bis keine Englischkenntnisse vorhanden sind, hatten wir zu viert diesen Segeltörn in Deutsch online gebucht. Mega enttäuschend für 400€: kein Deutsch, kein Nationalpark. Der Skipper war sehr nett; als allerdings klar war, dass wir nur in Badebuchten Halt machen, um dort 1-2 Stunden zu verweilen und der NP nie Ziel war, hatten wir abgebrochen. Dafür muss man nicht 100€ pro Person zahlen. Das Boot incl. Equipment (Sup usw.) waren nicht sehr gepflegt bzw. nicht ausreichend aufgepumpt. Schade…erstattet wurden lediglich 15%…ich fühle mich abgezockt und rate von einer Buchung ab.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Dear guests, I am really sorry that you had such disapointment. Most of our guests are extremely happy and satisfied. As you can see in our description we do not sail to National Park as it is too far away for 8 hours sail trip. We offer sailing experience on modern 36ft sail yacht with few stops in nice bays with crystal clear water for swim, snorkel and if you wish you can try SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board) and one stop in even more nice bay where is a small tavern where you can have lunch which is not included in the price. Also, as this is sailing trip and sailing experience it does not have guided sightseeing part in German. Our skippers are fully professional and friendly local guys who speak fluently English and what the most important thing is that you are in safe hands and if you want to have sailing experinece away from crowds than this is a trip for you. And once again, check all ut other reviews where guests become our friends and feel like they came at our home. Happy and leasure. ;)

Ich und meine Freundin hatten einen super coolen und schönen Tag!!!! Kann den Segeltörn nur weiter empfehlen!!! Skipper war echt 😎 cool und net!!!! Es ist definitiv für Leute di nicht auf Massentourismus stehen!!!

Cette excursion est une arnaque! Le programme décrit n'est pas respecté, il est impossible d'aller jusqu'aux Kornati et encore moins jusqu'au lac Mir en une journée avec ce type de voilier de 7m.
Ne rêvez pas rien est à volonté nous on avait une bouteille de vin rouge 8 et rien d'autre ! Pas de bière pas de jus de fruit...
Cette excursion se résume à passer la journée dans la baie de Zadar et prendre quelques bains dans des criques rien de plus.
En parlant avec le skipper, il nous a clairement expliqué que si le descriptif était correct alors personne ne réserverait et the season is off comme ils disent en gros la saison est foutue, donc il vaut mieux mentir et attaquer les gens.
Si vous voulez faire un tour de voilier pendant 8 heures et prendre un petit bain par si par là pour 100 par personne, n'hésitez pas c'est l'excursion parfaite.
Do not do that excursion, this just a boat trip in the Zadar Bay because it's impossible to go to the Kornati and the Mir Lake in one day with that kind of sailboat.
