“Amazing experience! We had Vlad as our skipper , he was incredibly accommodating and took us to so many beautiful spots around the island. He even got us a reservation to a lovely lunch spot with a view and great local sea food. You could also connect your phone to the Bluetooth speaker on the boat which was an added bonus. This tour was certainly one of the highlights on our trip to Croatia. Highly recommend”
