    Excellent trip! Ivan and crew were brilliant and the boat was beautiful! You catered for our group perfectly and we had a fantastic time. All the spots we stopped at were great and the facilities on the boat were perfect! Ivan was extremely helpful, his communication throughout our entire booking was great and he was quick to respond. Definitely recommend and would love to do it again one day. Thank you!

    EPIC! Can’t say enough about our five star experience with captain Ivan and Carla on the princess motor yacht! From beginning to end it was absolutely perfect! Ivan was so wonderful to communicate with and he and Carla both went above and beyond to make sure our charter was wonderful. The boat was luxurious and spotless. The swimming stops were beyond beautiful, our lunch at Bowa was delicious and the scenery was breathtaking. We will 100% return to Dubrovnik and charter with Ivan again. Can’t wait! Don’t hesitate to book this trip. It will be the highlight of your time in Croatia!

    It was my first time on this type of boat. Both my friends and I were delighted. The crew was very friendly, and the boat was even more beautiful than in the photos. I was celebrating my birthday, and it was the best party of my life!

    Ivan and Carla was great hosts for our boat day with the family. We had a wonderful time exploring the caves, beaches, and local islands. We would definitely return, and would absolutely rebook them and the Contessa for another trip in the future.

The boat was fully equipped with everything we would need and we even stopped on one of the islands for lunch which was delicious! Thank you so much Ivan and his crew for a fantastic time!

    For different reasons we needed two boats to spend the whole day enjoying the sea, we were a very large group of people, everything was more difficult to manage but Gabriel and his team took care of everything and our concern was just to enjoy the day, they brought on board cheese and meat boards and spectacular octopus salads!!! Then they reserved a table for all of us at a restaurant they trusted where we arrived directly with their boats and the lunch was incredibly good. Finally we returned to the port in the afternoon very satisfied. An absolutely perfect day, full of happiness and enjoyment. Excellent boats. Excellent staff. Excellent attitude.

    Group of 10 of us spent the day touring round the shores of Dubrovnik with Ivan and crew - an amazing experience. The boat was had everything we needed, (including well stocked fridges!) and was comfortable and spacious enough for all 10 of us. Ivan recommended an amazing restaurant for us on Lopud (Obala) for lunch and even made the reservation for us - food was lovely. Great attention to detail and a truly memorable day. Can't recommend enough. Thank you very much. James

We asked Ivan to plan i nice cruise out to the islands & to stop along the bay to paddleboard & snorkle, it was amazing. the yacht was perfect for our family of 4 & we had a very memorable time on the amazing Croatian water & islands. thank you very much Ivan & Carla for making this an life lasting memory for our family. Good luck Ivan & good luck Captain Carla :) we will see you next year. Brian, Katrina & Kids from Ireland.

    Ivan was an awesome captain. He took us to stunning places and knew the area very well. The whole crew; him and Karla were very professional, friendly, patient and helpful. The two days with them were the best of our week. If we come back to Croatia again, we will definitely book with him again. Thanks a lot for the whole great experience!

    Ivan and his team did a great job organising a 2 boat charter for us, one of which was on the Contessa. Beautiful boat, very professional. A seamless experience. We paid for extra fuel to visit Mljet, definitely worth it.

    Ivan and Gabriella were absolutely incredible. We joined them for a full day with our 3 children. They knew just where to bring us, asked us our wish list and were so incredibly hands on! We stopped at beautiful caves , snorkeling spots and sandy beaches. They also recommended a lovely Restaurant for us to eat during a stop at one of our islands. When we arrived , our reservations were set for the best table ! Our day on the Contessa was one we will remember for the rest of our lives. Priceless. Book with Ivan and do not hesitate. You will not regret it !
