Nice day on the water.

4.00The Captain of the boat was a skilled sailor and you could see he had a passion for sailing. We had a great wind so were able sail out easily. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, some other passengers did not appreciate the way the boat keeled when the jib was raised and at our first swim stop, they asked that we not sail again so we motored the rest of the day. This put the Captain in a difficult situation because other passengers had expected to sail more during the day. It was very disappointing. I'm not sure why someone would book a sailing tour and then not want to sail. If you don't like sailing please book some other tour so that those of us who want to sail, get our monies worth. Otherwise, it was a good trip and worth the money.

5.00⛵️🌊 What a fantastic family sailing tour around the Palenki Islands! Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience both relaxing and memorable. We stopped in a beautiful cove for a swim 🏖️🤿, and the wind was perfect for some exciting sailing speed ⛵️💨. A wonderful day on the water—highly recommended! ☀️😊👏

3.00Good sail, but skipper was a bit rough around the edges could have been a bit more professional verbally towards some passengers using washrooms. Continuous smoking on the job with public not a good look.
Book it!

5.00Such a perfect light day trip from Hvar - despite traveling solo, it immediately felt like being surrounded by friends and the sail with Vitor had a wonderfully relaxed, yet adventurous, fun environment that gets you out on the water in whatever capacity you may want!

Must do in Hvar, Croatia

5.00Our half-day sailing trip with was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we stepped aboard, Victor made the experience feel relaxed, fun, and effortless. The views of the Croatian coastline were breathtaking, the water was crystal clear, and every stop felt like a hidden paradise. Victor was knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about sailing and sharing the beauty of Croatia. Whether we were swimming in quiet coves, enjoying the sea breeze, or simply soaking in the scenery, the entire trip felt like something out of a movie. Perfect balance of adventure and relaxation — one of the highlights of our vacation. Highly recommend this sailing experience to anyone visiting Croatia! ⛵️☀️🌊

5.00Alexander was awesome. The group was only 8 people for our tour, so very small. Boat was very comfortable for all of us. Great swimming spots with awesome fish! Cooler on board so make sure to bring drinks for the whole trip! 100% recommend going with Alexander on this boat tour!
Good experience - cooler weather

3.00Good amount of time out on the water. Felt safe with Alex and Marija sailing the boat. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great and it was windy and cold on the boat. The 2 swim spots were very beautiful, but the sea was freezing! Some provisions of warm drinks and blankets would have been a welcomed touch.
