We had a 10/10 experience!
The day was a little bit windy when we left, but the skipper made us feel comfortable since the first moment.
We got to stop in different islands, where he provided information of those, and we also had some free time to either go for a walk, swim or go to a cafe. He also provided us with snorkeling googles so we could enjoy the amazong views under water.
The skipper ensured that everyone was enjoying the experience by being really aproachable and caring.
I would hihgly recommend this experience!

Our guide took us to a fun little bay for a private swim as well as stopping at a few islands for a quick gaunt to get an idea to live on an island.
He was very easy going and made for a very relaxing ride on the water.

Top half-day trip to some beautiful places. Because it was a private trip we had influence on how long we wanted to stay in each place, which we agreed with the guide. The guide was very knowledgeable and knew a lot to tell, partly because he grew up in / around Zadar. He was very welcoming, flexible and friendly, really top! We've done a lot of swimming and snorkeling and seen many and many species of fish. Highly recommended!

Nous avions pris ce bateau car il était écrit que le skipper pouvait jeter l’ancre et nous souhaitons nous baigner depuis le bateau… mais pas du tout des nôtre arrivée à bord le skipper nous a dit qu’il y aurait trop de vent. Il n’y avait aucun vent ce jour là et tous les autres bateaux avaient eux jeté l’ancre. Il nous a donc déposé sur deux îles et nous avons fait comme le commun des vacanciers sans bateaux. A notre retour ils étaient entrain de boire l’apéro à bord du bateaux avec ses potes. Il y avait du vent mais pas celui qu’on croit. Une simple traversée avec la navette nous aurait coûté moins cher …

Hi Bruno,
Its skippers job to make decision where to berth and anchor the boat considering the weather conditions and safety of the passengers and the boat. According to you he made a wrong decision. We all make mistakes sometimes.
Regarding your comment about "his freinds on the boat drinking aperitiv"- its tradition on the islands that you offer homemade grapa or any kind a drink to the locals when you come to the small island without the store.
I appologize for all the inconvinience.

Es war eine tolle Tour. Man hat eine Insel beuscht, wo man rauchen konnte und die Unterwasser Welt sehen konnte. Außerdem konnte man einmal komplett um die Insel gehen. Dann ging es weiter zu der nächsten Insel, dort konnte man etwas essen und trinken und am Strand baden. Der Tour Guide war sehr nett und hilfsbereit

Nous avons fait une très belle balade malgré une mètèo capricieuse. Nate nous amené dans des endroits où nous étions seule au monde. il suffit juste de lui dire ce qui vous aimé ou pas et il vous prose des endroit qui pourrait vous fait plaisir. De plus Nate est un jeune homme souriant qui aime son travail, e il fera tout pour rendre la croisière agréable.
