We had an amazing time, Saša was really helpful and spoke a very good English, taking the time to explain everything. Places were beautiful, definitely a recommended experience!

Tino was an amazing skipper! It was a beautiful day on the water and we really enjoyed the stops for coffee and lunch as well.

We were disappointed by this tour. The skipper tried his best but it really needed another crew member on board. We only sailed for 20minutes and this only happened as a passenger had sailing knowledge so could help. The whole day was slightly chaotic.

The captain and his skipper made sure the day was perfect — a highlight of our vacation!! Sailing was so fun, plenty of space and flexibility in the schedule. Recommend this trip without hesitation!

We had a great time on the day trip, it was a brilliant way to see more of the islands and nature around Zadar. We enjoyed the snorkelling, exploring and most of all getting the sails up and just being out on the water! Our skipper (Dario) was very good, getting everybody involved with the sailing. He’d also booked a table for us at a delicious restaurant in Preko for late lunch (the seafood was amazing!).
Four stars simply because we had booked to do the trip the prior day but it had to be postponed until the following day. We only found this out on the morning of, when we were preparing to leave our accommodation. Fortunately we were available for the following day and just had to rearrange our other plans, but had we not been it would have been cancelled altogether.
In the end it worked out fine and we really enjoyed ourselves!

The company we booked with had no idea we were turning up. Eventually we were moved to another boat in another harbour that cost us £20 in taxis to get to.
Then to be told we had to pay an extra £145 in cash to the new boat owner on the promise the original payment would be refunded
Luckily it was but left a bitter experience.

Maybe I had much bigger expectations about it, but it made me feel like I could have done the half day tour or even bought a tour when I arrived in Zadar.
The skipper barely talked to us (which made things weird if you are spending 8 hours in a boat with someone)
But the experience itself was alright. I enjoyed swimming and the sea and the sailing

The guide was incedibly nice (Saša) and informative. Unfotunatly, 3.5 of the 8 hours of the trip where "land breaks" and only one hour was acutal sailing. Maybe move lunch forward, so the afternoon, which is windy can be used for sailing. The land stops were beautiful, though not what we booked the tour form
Jennifer_L, Jul 2023
I highly recommend this tour! Sasha was a fantastic skipper/guide and we had the best day sailing, swimming, and exploring the island destinations.
Lelia_B, Jun 2023
Had a wonderful time sailing with Sasha. He took us to a small bay where we swam and then to a small island for us to explore. We docked for lunch where he walked us to a wonderful restaurant where we had a delicious meal. He was friendly, helpful, and made the whole trip fun!

Relaxing sailing and snorkeling trip to check out Zadar surroundings, nice small group of people (6 Max) makes the trip enjoyable.
Morgane_G, Sep 2022
We had an amazing time during this tour. We had three stops each to swim (the 1st swim was amazing!), or have a nice walk around the islands. The highlight of the trip was the return to land by sailing. We never sailed before so it was a truly magical experience for us !
Sophie_D, Aug 2022
We had a great trip with Alan as our captain , very friendly and informative about croatia and the islands history.
We travelled as a couple and there was only 2 others on the charter. We did 3 stops the first being a lovely Swimming spot with lots of little fish , second was at the island of Osijek and then another stop at Ugljan both with beautiful scenery and Crystal clear waters. Overall a great day and would recommend to everyone to try.
Thank you for a great day !!

A great and chill full day activity! You can chill on the boat while sailing and we got enough time to go swim/snorkle in little bays or explore a couple islands.
Margrethe_N, Jul 2022
Nice relaxing day. Great crew. Nice mix of sailing and stop to islands. Hoverer the maximum number og guests was not 6. and 8 was a bit to large of a crowd on a small sailboat. And no fishing was offereded. When I asked about fishing the reply was ?? Fishing?? So two a bit anoying «errors» there that you have to correct in the text.
Russell_D, Jul 2022
Very interactive. Our guide let us join in with getting the sails up and steering the boat. Able to see lots of beautiful islands we wouldn’t see otherwise.
Thomas_S, Jul 2022
The day trip on the beautiful sailboat was very enjoyable. The skipper Philip took us to very nice places, first to an idyllic bay for swimming, then to a small island with great vegetation, then for lunch on the larger island vis a vis Zadar and then after noon with good wind back again. Our fellow travelers were also great and we made new friends that we will soon visit in a far away country. A great day!

Really enjoyed our day out sailing. Beautiful trip to the nearby islands and a brilliant restaurant recommendation for lunch.

Thank You Giovanni.

Absolutely amazing day on the water with Phillip! Such a relaxing and chill day in the sunshine getting to swim and explore some of the beautiful small islands around Zadar! Highly recommend :)

Thank You very much.

We had a nice day and would recommend to others if they want to spend a lot of time on the water and not a lot of time on an Island. We originally booked a tour that took us to a few islands to explore. For some reason, we were moved to another tour that was to an island that took 3 hours to get to via sailboat. It was a very nice day and our Captain was wonderful - but we would have preferred less time on the boat and more time seeing the islands.

We had a fantastic trip with Dario. He took us to 3 locations at which we had plenty of time to explore by ourselves. He has great knowledge of the area and tips for where to go whenever we hit land. It was also interesting to see the sails in action as we silently hopped from island to island. Dario is very friendly and easy to talk to, which is a necessity for a full day trip We can't recommend this experience enough!

Thank You very much for the review!

It was an awesome trip! Would aboslutley recommend doing it. Dario was super nice and met our wishes. He also explained some things about sailing, which was great. We visited a small bay where we could swim, the island called Ošljak which is beautiful. You can walk around the whole island in under an hour. Afterwards we saild around that small island and stopped in Preko for a lunchbreak. To round up the day we did some sailing again afterwards until we finished at the Zadar habour.

Dario was an amazing, experienced sailing professional. He was very safe, polite, and personable! The day was incredibly fun filled with sailing, snorkeling and island hopping! I never felt rushed or anything like it. Definitely a must in Zadar!

I booked the trip weekend before. The evening before the trip Dario messaged to say that unfortunately he can’t do a full day trip anymore but can offer a half day starting at 12 or giva a full refund. I agreed on half day.
Next day at 11am he messaged again to say he has to cancel because his girlfriend was due to have a baby two days ago so he had to take her everyday to the hospital for check ups.
Although I am very happy for him and his girlfriend, if he knew two days ago that he might have a baby any minute and would have to take his girlfriend to doctors every morning - why not say it straight away and cancel the tour all together? Don’t give options and then leave tourists hanging an hour before. Very unprofessional.
Apparently however his brother did take tourists out on the day - so not sure if the solution was not found for just solo travellers.
Bailey_E, Aug 2021
This was an amazing experience! Dario is an awesome skipper that knows the best hidden spots. He let us help with the sails and taught us a thing or two about sailing. 100% recommend.

We were more or less disappointed by the trip, because out of eight hours trip there were 3 1/2 hours on two islands with nothing to do. The sailing time itself was rather pleasant but the crew was completely uninterested in the guests and did not speak or explain anything.
